George waved at his children and smiled sadly. It was the first of September. The first day of school and the first of seven years of school. Fred and Roxy were eleven and today, they were starting their journey in life. With James Potter and Louis Weasley as their partners in crime.
George remembered his own first day of school. He had shared it with Fred. He felt tears fall from his eyes at the thought of his brother. So many years had passed since he had died. Since George had lost his other half.
It hurt each time he loomed at his son and wife. Because he knew that if he hadn't died they would have been his. He and Angelina would have never gotten together otherwise. He was sure of that. But that didn't matter anymore. They were together and they completed each other. And they had two wonderful kids. Who somehow… were twins.
And even more years had passed since they had been sorted. George remembered that day fondly.
They had managed just few days before to find out about what was the sorting about from Percy. He had shouted at them after days of pranking him. He had gotten tired of them asking each time they saw him.
So they had decided to start Hogwarts with a prank. And what better way than to prank their own sorting.
They were identical twins so they has switched. When Fred had been called he had went in his place. And not only that. After he had placed the Hat on and he started a very nice conversation on how the sorting went. When McGonagall had stated that they had a hatstall the Hat had exclaimed
"No! We most certainly do not have a hatstall. But I have the right to enjoy an intelligent conversation from time to time. And this young man has a very bright mind. He manages to amaze even me. And I thought I saw everything in all my years here at Hogwarts. But they are something special"
"They?"had asked Minerva.
And just then Fred had appeared shouting
"Stop the sorting! I am Fred Weasley! He is George. He always wanted to steal my name. He had given me something to fall asleep and I hadn't heard when you called my name. I've just woke up and I've realised what had happened. Please you gotta do something"
A whole fight had followed of just who was Fred Weasley.
George smiled. They had managed to involve all the teachers in this plot of theirs. All had tried to find out who was Fred. Including Severus. But to no avail. Both had continued to claim the name and neither was going to give up.
And the headmaster hadn't done a thing to help. He had just sat there twinkling eyes and all,smiling. He had found everything very amusing.
In one end Charlie had been the one to stop the madness. Spoilt fun,the Hat had said. He had threatened to write to their mother.
George immediately had claimed his own name and let Fred be sorted.
Both had gone to Gryffindor.
