The Sorting
George was numb. This was it, he was finally going to be sorted. He and Fred glanced at each other. They were both thinking the same thing. They had to be in Gryffindor. That's where their entire family had been put, even Percy. But now he realized it didn't matter to him, as long as he and Fred were in the same house. He would accept Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, hell, he would even accept Slytherin as long as he and Fred were together. He privately wondered if Fred felt the same way.
Suddenly Mcgonagall called his brother's name, "Weasley, Fred." Fred gave him a confident grin, and walked with somewhat of a swagger to the chair. He shoved the hat on his head, while George held his breath and waited.
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat called out, rather quickly. Fred, looking quite relieved, threw the hat off his head with enthusiasm and jumped off the chair. George watched him walk to the Gryffindor table and saw their brothers (even Percy) and Lee Jordan (who had also gotten Gryffindor) congratulate him. He grinned, feeling happy for his twin, but even more nervous for himself as he turned back to the sorting.
"Weasley, George.", Mcgonagall called. When George jumped up a few people did double takes glancing from him to George. George walked jauntily to the chair and jammed the hat on his head.
Fred chanted under his breath, "C'mon Georgie, C'mon Georgie…" Meanwhile, George's thoughts were racing, what if he didn't get into the same house as his brother?
"Two identical Weasleys eh? And on the same day? I should get a pay raise, that is, if I gotpayed…Though you aren't quite as identical as most think you are...You're slightly calmer, and have a bright mind and ready wit to think things through a bit more than him...You would do well in Revenclaw..." the hat mused.
"No! I have to be in the same house as Fred, and the rest of my family!" George thought, panicked.
"Ah, I see, you have a strong love for your brother, and your family. Very well then, better be GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted. George nearly yelled in relief, but instead he calmly took the hat off his head and made a dash for the Gryffindor table.
Fred grinned, "Alright George?"
"Alright Fred!", George grinned back.
"Hold on!", Lee interrupted, "I thought you were Fred", he said pointing to George, "and you were George!", he said pointing to Fred in an accusatory way. The twins looked at each other and started cracking up, oh this was going to be a fun year…
