Weasleys Wizard Wheezes
"Discounts to Hogwarts students who promise to use it to get rid of this old bat!", Fred yelled over the crowd. George was grinning in jubilation. They had set off hundreds of fireworks and a giant swamp and were now escaping Umbridge on their brooms to their new joke shop. Life couldn't be better. Then they saw peeves floating up next to us with a look of glee on his face. Fred and George looked at each other and said to peeves, "Give her hell from us, peeves." To their surprise peeves (who had never taken orders from a student before) swept off his hat and saluted them. Well that was it then.
"Ready George?", asked Fred under his breath.
"Ready Fred.", he whispered back. And with that the twins soared out the great hall into the setting sun.
"Ha, did you see the look on the old toad's face?", George asked gleefully once they had gotten out of the castle. They both turned to watch Hogwarts for a moment and saw fireworks streaming in and out of the castle.
"Well I must say a job well done, brother.", Fred said pompously. They both laughed.
"This is it, Georgie.", breathed Fred in amazement. All the boxes were un-packed. It was time to open.
"The big day.", George breathed back.
"C'mon then?", he said with a grin to George. There was a small crowd outside the window looking curiously into the shop. George grinned back and together they threw open the door. The small crowd streamed in. At once they heard children laughing, even adults were laughing. More people came in and soon their shop was filled with laughter, mayhem, and small fireworks going off all over the place.
"Well Freddie", started George, "If I do say so myself, we are a success!"
"You've got that right Georgie!", Fred said back, laughing with exhilaration.
"Next time we see Harry, we've got to thank'em! Dunno what we would've done without the start-up loan.", muttered George. Fred nodded in agreement, remembering how at the end of their sixth year Harry had given them his triwizard winnings. And with that they went over to help a young boy who had just eaten an edible dark mark.
