*REVISED*

Fred and George searched their trunks for muggle clothes.

''Here,'' one of them said eventually, tossing Hikaru and Kaoru two outfits. ''I know what you're thinking, 'Why can't we just wear our school uniforms?' Well, unless you want to look like complete idiots, then you should do as we tell you. But if that's the case, then we recommend you to use Aunt Muriel's floppy sunhat. Just to add...what's the word? Pizzazz.''

Then they pushed the Hitachiin twins out of the compartment.

''Hey!'' they exclaimed in unison. ''What's all this about?''

''You need to find a place to change, because we already claimed this compartment,'' Fred, or George (Hikaru and Kaoru still haven't figured out who's who) explained.

''But where are the dressing rooms?'' Hikaru shouted frantically.

''We never really changed outside the compartment, so we're not even sure if there are what you call 'dressing rooms' on this train.''

''WHAT!'' the Hitachiins yelled.

''Yeah...sorry 'bout that. But that's how things are.'' Both Weasley twins shrugged and shut the blinds.

''Unbelievable...'' Kaoru muttered in Japanese.

''Well, there's bound to be a bathroom here somewhere,'' Hikaru said in the same language. ''Can you imagine a place like this without one?''

''Well, yes. This is a magical train, after all. I wouldn't be surprised if the passengers here pull out their wands, and suddenly their urine is edible chocolate or something.''

''Don't say things like that. That's gross.''

''Whatever.''

Hikaru and Kaoru searched the corridor for a bathroom, but there was nothing but compartments.

''See?'' Kaoru turned to his brother. ''I told you.''

''Oh, shut up,'' Hikaru snapped.

''That's...mean...'' Kaoru faked a hurt expression. ''I can't believe you could say such things to me...''

Hikaru shuddered. ''I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.'' Then they embraced.

Of course, all this was an act, since they were so bored and tired from their bathroom hunt. It was a shame no one was able to witness and melt at their ''brotherly love.'' But sometimes, there's a random passerby that just happens to come across the weirdest things. In this case, that passerby is a short girl with messy, shoulder-length brown hair.

''I've never seen two homosexuals showing public affection before,'' said the girl. The Hitachiin twins jumped apart. ''Don't worry, it doesn't bother me. I don't know about other people, though. We all have our own opinions, after all. My mother, for example, disapproves of teenage couples dating in places such as the park. She's disgusted every time she sees a boy and girl kissing, or even holding hands. And she's also concerned about younger children seeing those kinds of things. But my mum doesn't mind if the couple are middle-aged or elderly, because she says they know how to hide their affection, or at least show it in the least bothersome way.''

Hikaru and Kaoru raise their eyebrows. They did not understand most of what the girl just said. One second she was speaking clearly, then the next, she was talking in hyper mode.

''Did I surprise you?'' the girl asked.

''Not at all,'' the Hitachiins said together.

''Are you having trouble with something?''

''Why do you ask?''

''I feel like you're searching for something.'' She closes her eyes. ''Yes...I sense your desire of finding something...or somewhere...''

Hikaru clears his throat. ''Yes, we're looking for...somewhere. The bathroom, to be precise. Is there a bathroom here?''

The girl opens her eyes. ''I know of a women's bathroom. I discovered it in my first year, during the train ride back home. I managed to hold in my urine on September first, but that time, I felt like it would burst like a fountain, so I searched for a toilet. The very nice lady who pulls the trolley showed me a 'girls' bathroom' where I happily let out the liquid waste from my body. On my second year, I came across a similar problem, so I looked for the 'girls' bathroom' the nice lady showed me. I wasn't able to find it, but I stumbled across a room that—''

''Could you please slow down for a bit?'' Kaoru blurted. He and his twin were truly finding it difficult to listen to the girl's words.

''I'm sorry, was I talking too fast?'' the girl said. Hikaru's hand twitched and shook, demanding to do a face-palm, but he contained the urge.

''Er—yeah,'' said Kaoru. ''So it would be wonderful if you could speak a little slowly.''

''All right. I used to talk fast when I was a child, and my father did not appreciate it, so he told me to talk slowly. But then my mother became annoyed, because she said I was talking too slowly, so she told me I should just talk the way I want. So I started talking how I usually talk. I asked her if—''

''It's nice to have a chat with you and all, but we would much appreciate it if you could just tell us where the men's bathroom was,'' Hikaru interrupted.

''Oh, I was getting to that in my first story!'' the girl announced cheerfully. She smiled and continued. ''While I was searching for the 'girls' bathroom,' I stumbled across a room that greatly resembled it. The only difference is that there seems to be a huge sink on the wall. But there was a toilet and a regular-sized sink, so I urinated there. When I—''

The Hitachiins couldn't suppress their laughter anymore. The girl stared at them curiously.

''What is it you find funny?'' she questioned.

''N-Never mind...'' the twins said. ''Uh—where is this room you were talking about?''

''Over there,'' the girl said, pointing right ahead of her. ''You see that red metal door? The non-glass one. Notice how all compartment doors are transparent? Well, that door isn't. That door—''

''Thanks very much,'' Hikaru and Kaoru cut her off. They both shook her hand and proceeded to the door the girl pointed to. They opened it and took off their robes.

''Now, that,'' Hikaru said in Japanese, ''was something.''

''She was speaking like she had a very important meeting to go to,'' Kaoru agreed.

''Yeah, I know, right? And when she said she sensed our desire to find something—what was that about?''

''Yeah. What, does she think she's a psychic or something?''

They shook their heads. Then came a moment of silence

''Um, Kaoru...'' Hikaru said gently.

''Hmm?''

''I'm gonna change now.''

''Oh!'' Kaoru exclaimed, slowly turning red. ''Yeah, go on. I'll just turn around, and...'' he broke off.

Some time later, Hikaru said, ''Oi, Kaoru, you can change now.''

''Yeah, sure.'' He took off his blazer and put on the green shirt the Weasley twins gave him. As he was pulling off his pants, Hikaru touched his shoulder.

''Wha—!''

''Have you noticed something?'' the older twin whispered without turning around.

''What do you mean?'' Kaoru narrowed his eyes.

''Look around and tell me if you notice something strange.''

''Er, okay.'' Kaoru combed the bathroom with his eyes, but there didn't seem to be anything unusual about it. ''I don't see—'' Then he noticed it. ''A urinal...WE'RE IN THE GIRLS' BATHROOM!?''

''Shh! Be quiet!'' Hikaru hissed. ''Hurry, so we can get outta here!''

Kaoru nodded and pulled on his borrowed jeans.

''You ready?'' Hikaru asked him.

''Uh-huh,'' he answered.

''Then let's go!'' Together, they opened the bathroom door, ready to run back to their compartment, only to find that Fred and George were outside waiting for them.

''What a surprise...'' the Weasley twins say in unison. They were smirking, arms crossed over their chests.

''How did you know we were here?'' asked the Hitachiins, horror etched upon their faces.

''Easy,'' one of them said. ''Only idiots like you would scream in that language.''

''Japanese, you call it?'' the other Weasley twin says. They inched closer.

''Why didn't you tell us there was a bathroom on this train?'' Hikaru and Kaoru tried to change the direction of their conversation.

''Oh, you mean that one?'' Fred and George nodded to the door behind the Hitachiins. ''Yeah, we knew about that one, we just never entered it. But of course, you have. So tell us about it. What's it like in there?''

Hikaru and Kaoru gulped. Sweat filled their foreheads. ''It's just like any other bathroom.'' Then Kaoru added, ''only there's no urinal.''

The Weasley twins grinned. ''Thought so.''

''Are you gonna sue us?'' the Hitachiins retorted.

''No, whatever that is,'' said one of the Weasleys. ''We'd tell the school about it, only nobody knows you two exist.''

''Plus,'' said the other Weasley twin, ''We're almost at King's Cross, so there's really no time to spread the word. And mind you, word spreads pretty quickly at Hogwarts.'' They both smirk.

''Whatever,'' Hikaru and Kaoru say, shrugging.

The Hitachiin twins lead the way back to the compartment. When they arrived, the train starts to slow down, and there were loud thuds from the other compartments. The Weasley twins grabbed their trunks, assisted by Hikaru and Kaoru, and placed them on the floor with a bang.

''All right,'' Fred/George said, turning to Hikaru and Kaoru. ''Once we arrive at the station, we have to cross the barrier between Platform Nine and Three Quarters and King's Cross. To do that, you have to either run at the brick wall, or lean against it. Then you'll appear at the other side.''

''Are we gonna—''

''You won't crash,'' Fred/George assured them firmly. ''That kind of thing doesn't happen in the magical world.''

''You sure, Georgie?'' Fred said. ''Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that did happen two years ago.''

George smiled. ''Oh, yeah. To Harry, of course. Everything happens to that little bloke.''

''Okay, who exactly is—'' Hikaru and Kaoru's voices were muffled by the sounds of footsteps and compartment doors banging open.

''Ooh, looks like we're here,'' Fred announced excitedly. He and George hopped off their seats, and hauled their trunks outside. ''You coming?''

''Mm...yeah!'' the Hitachiins said, standing up.

They exited the compartment, and waited for several other people to pass before heading to the train doors. Once all the passengers had gone, the pair of twins departed the Hogwarts Express. Fred and George grabbed a trolley and put their trunks inside. Then they joined the line of people waiting to cross the barrier.

''Hmm...I think I'm gonna make a run for it, eh, Fred?'' George turned to his brother.

''Yeah, me too,'' Fred replied. ''What about you two?''

''Uh...'' Hikaru started. ''Kaoru, what do you think?''

''Hmm?'' Kaoru was busy staring at his surroundings.

''Are you gonna run through the barrier, or just lean against it?'' Hikaru asked him.

''Well, running is much more fun, I guess,'' Kaoru answered.

''Then running, it is!'' Hikaru said.

The pair of twins waited for the rest of the students to disappear before positioning themselves.

''We'll go first,'' the Weasley twins declared. ''Watch and learn.'' They backed a few steps, then raced to the brick wall. Even though they had seen the people in line earlier do that, Hikaru and Kaoru were still afraid Fred and George were going to collide with the barrier. But instead, their entire bodies went through. The Hitachiins wanted to whoop, but they knew it would seem ridiculous if they did.

Hikaru cleared his throat. ''Shall we go, then?'' he asked Kaoru. The latter nodded, and they ran toward the brick wall. They closed their eyes, ready for the impact. What if they didn't go through? They were ''muggles,'' after all, so what if they simply crash against the barrier and are trapped in the platform forever? The twins never thought about that...but it was too late to stop. Hikaru and Kaoru kept running, but they never felt anything. Were they really that slow at running? No, Hikaru thought. We're the fastest runners in our class. Then they heard the Weasley twins' voices...laughing.

''All right, you two!'' Fred yelled after them. The Hitachiin twins opened their eyes. They had gone through the barrier! Yet they were still running. Many people were staring and laughing at them. Hikaru and Kaoru stopped and looked behind them. Fred and George were several paces away. The Hitachiin twins felt their faces redden. They walked as quickly as possible toward the Weasley twins, heads bowed.

''Mum...'' George tugged on a short, plump woman's sleeve who was probably his mother. She was hugging a small, black-haired boy with glasses. ''Mum!''

''What is it, Fred?'' the woman snapped, releasing the boy.

''Uh, actually I'm George.'' George frowned. ''Sixteen years, mum. Sixteen years, and you still can't figure us out.''

''Oh, I'm so sorry, Georgie.'' The woman kissed George's forehead. He swatted her away. ''So, what is it?''

''We wanted to introduce some friends of ours,'' Fred said. He nodded in the Hitachiin twins' direction.

''Oh, twins!'' the Weasleys' mother exclaimed. She ran over to them and shook their hands. ''I'm Molly Weasley. I'm sorry if my sons caused you some trouble, they really are just plain little devils.''

Hikaru and Kaoru smiled slightly. They remembered being called Little Devils in the Host Club. ''Nice to meet you, Mrs. Weasley. We're Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin.''

''Hmm...Are you foreigners?'' Molly Weasley asked.

''Yes. We're from Japan.''

''Japan? Is that in Asia?''

''Yup.''

''Ooh! I've never met Asian wizards before!''

''Yeah, yeah,'' Fred broke in. ''So mum, will you let them stay at the Burrow for the summer?''

''Oh, of course!'' Molly Weasley smiled. ''You're very welcome at our home. When will you stay?''

''Today,'' the Weasley twins replied together.

''T-Today?'' Molly stuttered.

''Is there something wrong, Molly?'' came a man's voice. It was a short, balding wizard.

''Dad, can we let our friends stay at the Burrow for the summer?'' George asked the wizard. ''Starting today.''

''Today?'' The wizard raised his eyebrows. ''Isn't that a bit too early?''

''Please, mum, dad,'' Fred pleaded. ''They're from Asia! They have nowhere else to go!''

''What do you—'' their mother began.

''They just magically appeared at Hogwarts, not knowing what to do,'' explained George. ''We found them, and are planning to help them go back home.''

''And how exactly do you plan to do that?'' their father questioned.

''Well, where exactly are they supposed to stay while we figure it out?'' Fred countered.

Molly Weasley looked at her husband concernedly. ''Arthur, we need to talk about this.''

The man sighed. ''Very well.'' They turned their backs on their sons and walked away, to a spot where nobody could hear them. Then a tall, gangly boy went over to Fred and George. He was closely followed by a pretty girl who looked a year younger than him. They both had flaming-red hair and freckles.

''What's going on?'' the boy asked.

''None of your business,'' Fred hissed. He truly looked worried. The girl frowned.

''We're gonna find out anyway,'' she said. George sighed.

''Mum and dad are still considering allowing our little friends to stay at the Burrow,'' he said.

''Who? Lee?'' said the girl.

''No,'' Fred said. ''Them.'' He gestured toward the Hitachiin twins.

''Who are you?'' the boy questioned.

''Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin,'' they replied. ''And who are you?''

The boy swallowed. ''Ron. Ron Weasley.''

''And I'm Ginny Weasley,'' the girl introduced herself confidently. ''So why do you want to stay at the Burrow? Are you going to the World Cup?''

''What's that?'' Hikaru and Kaoru asked.

''You don't know the World Cup?'' The boy gaped at them like they were aliens from another world. But they probably are.

''Well...'' they started.

''Stop bothering them,'' George scolded. ''They've been through a lot.'' That shut the boy and girl up. But not for long...

Ginny giggled. ''Hey, look!'' She pointed to what seemed to be another member of the Weasley family. "It's Percy! And he's talking to someone. Probably his girlfriend.''

Ron's eyes widened. Hikaru and Kaoru looked at the direction Ginny pointed to and saw a boy with horn-rimmed glasses. ''Is he your brother?'' they asked. But none of the Weasleys were interested in answering their question.

''Bloody hell...'' Ron whispered.

The Weasley twins grinned. ''Oh, we're never gonna let him hear the end of this...''

A moment later, they all noticed that there was something wrong with the way the boy and his girlfriend were talking. They appeared to be arguing. The Weasleys and the Hitachiins inched closer.

''I don't know what it is you're looking for, Penny!'' the boy exclaimed, rubbing his temple.

''Oh, don't call me that!'' the girl snapped.

''Fine, Penelope, so can you please tell me what I did wrong?''

''Like you don't know!''

''Uh-oh...'' muttered Ginny.

''Things are already unstable, Percy. Surely you understand that?'' the girl tried to reason.

''Oh, I understand,'' said the boy. ''I understand perfectly that women are absolute scumbags! Irrational creatures!''

Ginny gasped. The couple was now starting to draw attention, a few Muggle women shaking their heads.

''Excuse me?'' The girl raised her eyebrows. Though she tries to hide it, her eyes are threatening to break with tears.

''I won't repeat myself,'' stated Percy, regaining his cool. ''If this is how you want it, Clearwater, the be it.'' And with that, he grabbed his trunk and walked away. His now dumped girlfriend was standing awkwardly with blank eyes. Confused. Dumbfounded. Several seconds later, she snapped out of her trance, lifted her own trunk, stumbled a few times in the process, and headed the opposite direction. The stalkers could hear a faint sobbing.

''Well,'' said Ginny, ''looks like he won't be getting married anytime soon.''

''Technically, it's her fault,'' Hikaru and Kaoru said.

''And why would that be?'' Ginny glared at the Little Devils.

''From the looks of it, the girl was trying to dump your brother for no apparent reason. How could anyone say it wasn't her fault?''

''Oh, sure, always blame the girl!'' Ginny stomped her foot. ''We're all just irrational scumbags, aren't we?'' She stalked off.

''I really don't understand this...'' Ron said.

A minute later, their parents came back.

''We have discussed the situation,'' said Molly Weasley. ''And we have agreed to let you stay,'' she directed to the Hitachiins. ''Do you have any personal belongings?''

The Little Devils glanced at each other. ''Um, actually, no.''

''Then Fred and George would gladly lend you their clothes,'' the wizard said firmly. The Weasley twins wereabout to say something, but the wizard cut them off. ''Of course, you might need to borrow some of Percy's clothes, too. I'm sure they would fit you well. As for underwear...well, let's just create some, shall we? Molly, do you know how to create underwear?''

Molly Weasley started. ''Oh! Oh, yes, of course. We can magic some up for you two.'' She smiled at the Hitachiins. They blushed a deep shade of magenta. Ron smirked, while Ginny clapped her hands over her mouth to stifle her giggles.

''That's settled then!'' The wizard clapped his hands once. ''Oh, and you'll be sleeping in Charlie's old room. He and Bill won't be back until a few days before the World Cup.''

''All right,'' said Molly Weasley. ''We better get going now. Can't let that Ministry car waiting too long.''

They all headed for the exit. Ron waved to the black-haired boy with glasses and shouted, ''I'll call about the World Cup!'' Then Ginny blew kisses to some of her friends.

''So dad,'' said Fred suddenly, ''were you able to borrow a Ministry car again?''

''Yes,'' his father answered. ''But me and your mother won't be joining you.''

''What? Why?'' Ginny asked.

''There won't be much space in the car,'' said Molly Weasley. ''We decided it would be best not to put charms on it to prevent suspicion from muggles. We'll be Apprating home.''

''But what about them?'' George nodded to Hikaru and Kaoru.

''I guess we'd just have to put charms on the car, after all,'' said his father. ''They'll be joining you in the car.''

''What about Percy?'' asked Ginny.

''He'll be Apparating home,'' replied her mother.

They walked in silence until they reached a grey car, where a tall man was leaning against the roof. He wore a ripped shirt and too short pants, revealing hairy legs. He had a sour expression on.

''Hurry up!'' he grumbled. ''Ain't got all day.'' Molly and her husband helped Ron and Fred place their trunks in the car trunk, while George's and Ginny's were hauled in the backseat. Molly put charms on the car to make it bigger from the inside, so Hikaru and Kaoru could squeeze in with the Weasleys. Ron and Ginny were sitting together at the front, while the pair of twins were crammed at the back with Ginny's and George's trunks.

''Are you all right in there?'' Molly asked through the window.

''Yup!'' Ginny said cheerfully. George made a thumbs-up.

''We're off!'' the sour-looking man who turned out to be the driver announced. Molly and Arthur waved at their children as the car gained speed. Then they held hands and disappeared. ''Destination: the Burrow, outside Ottery St. Catchpole. Correct?''

''Er—yeah,'' confirmed Ron.

There was nothing but silence for the rest of the journey.

Sorry for the extremely late update! To make up for it, I made this chapter over 3,000 words, yet it's still a filler. Anyway, I have a question from one of the reviewers to answer: Fred and George are 16 in this story, while Hikaru and Kaoru are 15. To be clear, the Weasley twins just finished their fifth year at Hogwarts, and turned 16 on April first. While the Hitachiins are in their freshman year. The setting of this fic is between the third and fourth book of Harry Potter. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
