Never Ever Tell Ron that you have to fight a Giant Spider at the Sorting
"My Hogwarts letter has come." Ron said, marching up to the twins.
"Yes so it has Ron." Fred said, smiling down at his brother with what he thought was a kind smile on his face. In reality it was a smirk, one that was recognised as very dangerous if seen on either Weasley twin's face.
Ron smiled happily at them and turned away to go and find his sister Ginny to tell her. She and Ron as the youngest were very close and spent hours trying to think of ways to get back at their brothers.
"Wait Ron." George called after him. His younger brother turned and frowned at him.
"You may have got into Hogwarts but many students have been turned away at the sorting." George continued.
"Why?" Ron asked, worry creeping into his face.
"Well when you arrive at Hogwarts you go into the Great Hall where everyone is waiting for you and there you have to fight a giant spider and then that decides on which house you'll be in" Fred told him.
"But plenty of people have been sent home because they failed to fight the spider properly. You know that muggle cousin we have who no one ever speaks of." George added.
Ron nodded, his eyes growing wider with fear.
"Well he's not actually a muggle he failed the sorting and so the family disowned him. It was all very tragic."
Ron froze and then with one last fearful look at his brothers he turned and ran towards the house.
"MUM!" he wailed.
"You two are in for it now." Charlie laughed, jumping down from the tree.
"Damn it." George swore. "I hadn't thought of that."
Charlie laughed and walked off towards the house.
"Oh yeah, don't forget to out cotton wool in your ears before Mum comes to yell at you." He called over his shoulder.
Half an Hour Later
"Hey George. Do you think it's safe to take the cotton wool out now?" Fred asked his brother.
"What sorry can't hear you."
Fred rolled his eyes and took the cotton wool out of his ears. George copied him.
"Oh so that's what you wanted to do."
Five Hours Later
"I've never worked so hard in my life."
"Yeah for once I actually feel sorry for Mum. Imagine having to clean the whole house every week."
"Except our room." Fred reminded George "and besides she uses her wand."
"Still!"
"You know Fred if you ever want to avoid having to clean the house from top to bottom including the attic with the ghoul that scared you so much.."
"I was not scared!"
"Again." George finished "Then…"
"Never ever tell Ron that you have to fight a giant spider at the sorting." They finished together.
Sorry. That was not one of my most inspired or best ones but luckily I have more inspiring ideas up my sleeve. Please leave a review and thanks for reading.
Next chapter will hopefully be up soon.
