Chapter Six
Trouble Making
Fred and George sat lazily in the armchairs by the fireside waiting for Jade to show up. Jade had snuck off somewhere and the twins had no idea where,
"Fred are you sure that you haven't seen her?" George asked. Fred shook his head and replied,
"If I had you'd know but I haven't seen her in over an hour. I bet she is in the kitchen or testing out the Marauders Map."
"But she doesn't have the map I do." George said pulling it out of his bag.
Just then the portrait hole swung open and Jade stumbled in giggling with a huge smile on her face. Fred and George walked up to her and they demanded,
"What did you do?"
Jade giggled a little harder and she said, "Well it's not really funny, but I just received about a weeks worth of detentions with Rachel. It is what we did that is so funny."
"Well what exactly did you two do?" Fred asked.
"O.K. well Rachel and I got bored so we set a plague loose in the Slytherin Common Room."
"Cool! How did you two set it loose?" George asked in between laughs.
"Rachel placed some kind of orb down in the room somewhere then she put it on a timer. It was about three minutes later when the orb opened releasing a harmless yet effective plague." Jade explained.
"And how did you get caught?" The twins asked at the same time.
"Professor Snape saw us out side of the Common Room entrance and he put two and two together." Jade said.
Fred and George snickered and Jade was giggling. The three of them stood still laughing for a little while and then they proceeded up to Fred and George's room. They were alone inside of the room where they simply hung out and plotted more tricks.
"Hey I think that you should open a joke shop." Said Jade looking at one of the twins' latest invention.
"I never thought of that." Said George
"Neither have I. Great idea Jade." Fred replied with a grin. "I knew making friends with her would pay off."
"Well if you two need any funding Rachel and I both have bottomless cauldrons." Jade looked at their confused faces and said, "Never play poker with a Gringotts Goblin if you win they give you something called a bottomless cauldron. It is a cauldron full of gold and whenever it is empty the Goblins will replace it with more gold."
Fred and George looked at each other being poor they had no idea what it was like to be ravished with such riches. Jade sighed and she continued,
"O.K. so I am rich, but I hate it! If you guys want some of the gold just ask and I will give you some. I myself only use the gold to replenish my school supplies and I use it for presents for my friends." Jade said.
Fred and George nodded their head and Jade smiled. Money wasn't going to get in the way of friendship.
"What should we call our shop?" Fred asked.
There was an hour of laughing as the three of them tried to come up with a name for the joke shop. Finally they came up with the name Weasly Wizard Wheezes.
"The three W's." Jade said with a laugh. "I like it, as a matter of fact I want to help sponsor it."
"No, Jade you don't have to…"
"It would take a lot of money…" The twins protested but Jade held up her hand for silence.
"I have a bottomless cauldron, I can sponsor ten different stores and still not go broke." She replied with confidence.
Fred and George smiled, they could not compete with that. They shook hands with Jade in a business like manner and they agreed to let Jade be one of the sponsors.
The boys started to come inside of the room and Jade stood up and she left heading towards her room and leaving the boys in peace.
Inside of her room Jade changed into her pajamas and she climbed into her bed. A moment later Austin came, jumped onto her bed and curled up right next to her. Jade smiled she had already been here for two months and so far life was going great. She hoped that she would remain friends with the twins forever and she just knew that their shop would be a real success sometime in the near future. Jade rolled over and she put her arm around Austin who purred happily and she whispered to him,
"I have never been so happy." She began to drift off, "I am so lucky…"
