"Georgie! Come on!" Fred yelped, George continued slowly walking behind him.
"Why do we have to go to a dueling club ? We already know how to duel" George moaned out.
"Because it'll be fun. Wemight get to curse some slytherins" George smiled slightly but kept his slow pace. "Hermione's going" Fred added a few seconds later.
"How do you know?" He asked, head flying up to look at his twin.
"She told me" Fred replied matter-o-factly. "She's been busy with homework apparently and now is a time you will actually get to spend some time with her so stop moping about the lack of Granger and let's go find her and curse her"
"I'm not moping about the lack of her!" George denied. "And you're going no where near her with your wand!" Fred snorted loudly. "oh shut up you know I meant actual wooden wand!" George laughed.
"What about my other wand?" Fred joked, wiggling his eyebrows making George roll his eyes.
"Granger wouldn't go anywhere near your wand" George replied.
"challenge acc-"
"That wasn't a challenge!" He snapped, glaring at his twin slightly who was just smirking happily.
Duelling club however turned out to be a pretty bad idea. Especially for the golden trio. It had started pretty well. Lockhart had been thrown across the room by Snape making everyone laugh and George liked Snape for the first time since he met him at Hogwarts. Fred paired with Lee when they where put into pairs and George was stuck with Blaise Zabini, a second year Slytherin who had looked up at him nervously twiddling his wand in between his fingers.
"Weasley" He had spat, attempting to seem bold. It came out as more of a scared croak. George let out a small grunt of acknowledgement looking over the kids shoulder towards where Hermione was being wrestled by millicent bulstrode." He was suddenly hit in the chest with a spell that Zabini had cast and let out a oompf before tumbling over. When he stood back up the kid looked slightly smug wand now down. As Lockhart tried to stop people from using random, non disarming spells.
"I wasn't ready" George mumbled, looking to where Harry had pulled Millicent off. Before he was being taken up onto the stage to show how to block spells. George laughed when Lockhart dropped his wand. Harry looked at him bemused when lockhart left him to it with no way of defending himself against Malfoys spells.
Then of course, boy wonder had to take matters into his own hands when Malfoy conjured up a snake and show everyone he could speak Parselmouth. Genius that kid. Him, Ron and Hermione ran off whilst everyone begun to mutter. The rumours quickly spreading that Harry Potter, the boy who saved everyone from he who must not be named was actually a dark wizard himself, the heir of Slytherin and so the one attacking people.
Hermione and Ron where playing Wizards chess when Mcgonagall walked into the common room. Fred, George and Lee where sitting in the corner joking with Aneglina and Katie.
"Weasley's, Mr jordan. Follow me please" She said sternly, The three looked between each other before bidding goodbye to the girls. George spotted Hermione watching them walk out and flashed her a grin.
"Fine day isn't it miss" Fred said happily once they where outside the common room. They walked into an empty class room close by the common room and George looked over to Lee confused. If they where in trouble surely they would be taken to Dumbledore. She spun on her heel and motioned for them to sit down at the abandoned tables. Instead of sitting on a chair they all squished. Sitting on the edge of the table.
"There's been another attack" Was the first thing she said.
"Who is it ?" Lee asked, all nervous. George's mind skipped to Ginny, he hadn't seen her yet today.
"Justin finch-fletchly"
"oh thank Merlin" George and Fred sighed, both relieved it wasn't Ginny. She raised an eyebrow about to talk when Lee cut in
"there just relieved it's no one they know to well"
"Why are you telling us?" Fred questioned and mcgonagal sighed.
"It's a well known fact you three enjoy sneaking around the castle. Even if we can't prove it some of the time" most The three thought, flashing quick grins at eachother "but before there wasn't a real danger. There is something attacking the students so I wanted to warn you. You may think it's boring but stay in you're dormitories when we tell you. It's for your own safety now more than ever"
"But...Where all Pure-blood" George said awkwardly "I mean. Isn't whatever is in the Chamber only meant to go after you know..Muggleborns?"
"Do you want to risk it" Mcgongall replied tersely.
"So you're saying their actually is a Chamber?" Fred cut in excitedly.
"We've never found one...but there is something attacking the students. Just. Be careful. And tell no one I don't want you scaring the first years..again" With that she left the room and they all looked at each other.
"She tells us not to sneak around the castle then drags us to an unused room and leaves us here to fend for ourselves." George points out laughing slightly.
"Are you thinking what i'm thinking?" Fred asked looking to Lee with a smirk
"I don't know, are you thinking what I think you're thinking?"
"I think i'm thinking what you think i'm thinking." Fred replied, George rolled his eyes. This could go on for a while.
20 minutes later the two where staring at eachother confused.
"What where we talking about thinking?" Fred asked, looking to George for an answer.
"don't say think. It's a stupid word" Lee moaned.
"You were about to say we need to find the chamber" George said with a laugh.
"oh right...Awesome! So we need to find the chamber!"
They searched all day. They looked at the map. They went into every secret passage way they could. Enchanted every doorway, pulled every book. Twisted ever statues ear. Nothing.
They walked back into the common room. All tired, disappointed and probably in trouble from skipping all their classes. It was late, After curfew and as soon as they got back Fred and Lee marched up the stairs to there beds. George however was grabbed by Hermione on his way to follow and dragged over to the sofa.
"why did Mcgonagall want you?" She asked quickly.
"oh umm..She just wanted to tell us not to go sneaking around. Especially after we were meant to be locked away in the common room or bed"
"so then you spent the day sneaking around?" The bushy haired girl replied, unimpressed.
"obviously. She basically told us they all think the chamber of secrets is real and there is really some BAMF beast rolling around petrifying people !" Hermione grabbed a newspaper of the table and started to hit him with it.
"Are you a complete moron?!" She seethed "You went looking for the big beast that's petrifying people?! You're actually hunting for it's home! What if it petrifies you ?! What if it kills you" She yelped continuing to hit him with the paper.
"Calm down you daft bint!" George yelped jumping away from the newspaper. A smile still on his face "It won't attack me i'm pure-blood" He said it without thinking and saw her eyes darken.
"what so since you're pureblood you're above being attacked? You arrogant pig!"
"It only attacks those salazar slytherin though where unworthy. Muggleborns. I didn't mean anything like that by it!" George insists.
"Really because last I heard cat's and ghosts aren't muggleborns" Hermione spat glaring daggers.
"Wait ghosts ? What do you mean"
"Justin and nick where attacked today"
"nick?" Georges brows furrowed in confusion. "bu-"
"See. It's not just after 'unworthy people' it's attacked two things who aren't Muggleborns. You don't know it won't attack you" She replied. Looking up at him nervously. "Listen to Mcgongall and stop sneaking around" She ordered. Still looking nervous. "please?" She begs quietly. Looking up at him through her lashes as if she said something ridiculous that he could scold her for saying.
"Okay" George mumbles back. "No more sneaking around." George is shocked to realize he actually means it. "I'm gunna" He points behind him towards the stairs and she nods.
"Same." For some reason there's an awkward moment. Them both standing looking at each other. George still pointing behind him.
"Well uh...night Granger" and with that he leaves, running up the stairs to his warm bed. Thinking of a way to tell Fred, no, he couldn't skip quidditch practise tomorrow to look more for the chamber.
So if you wanna review that'd be awesome. Because reviews make me smile, and smiling is a good thing! :D
