Chapter Four:

George POV:

Boarding the Hogwarts Express was different this year. He of course gave his mother a quick hug goodbye and told her that he would write to her. However, he now had a bag full of contraband ready to sell in his bag.

Fred had a similar stuffed bag and was bouncing excitedly to get selling to all of the students. No one seemed to notice their strange behavior except for Hermione who was giving them a suspicious look.

When they all climbed onto the train. George ruffled Ginny's hair. "Alright, children. The big boys have to go find the other 7th years."

"We have... business to attend to." Fred smiled and laughed.

Hermione crossed her arms over her Gryffindor robes which she had already changed into. "Stay out of trouble, you two."

George winked at the girl who blushed in response. "Trouble just seems to find us naturally. We don't seek it."

They turned around on their heels down the corridors to wear Lee and Angelina were sitting. The two other Gryffindors were arguing over Quidditch styles when the compartment door slid open. Angelina lit up and smiled at the twins. "How have you both been?" She wrapped her arms around Fred and gave him a long hug. She gave George a quicker and more platonic version once she was done squeezing Fred.

"Oh just fine." Fred's eyes lit up at the sight of them. "We are ready to kick of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes."

"We would love your help." George looked at Lee and Angelina.

Lee jumped up onto his feet with high spirits. "I'm always interested in talking to others. How can I assist?"

George knew that would be his response. "We are trying to sell some of our prototype products. We have Ton-Tongue Toffees, Extendable Ears, and Puking Pastiles to be sold to people on the train today."

Angelina rolled her eyes. "What do I get for helping?"

Fred got down on his knees and held her hand in a joking manner. "My endless devotion to the most amazing, brilliant, compassionate, beautiful—"

The girl blushed furiously and forced him back up on his feet. "Alright, alright! I'll help just don't make a scene."

"Me?" Fred looked around as if to see a different culprit. "Make a scene? Never."

Angelina rolled her eyes. "I don't want to try and sell the candies, but I'll sell the extendable ears."

Fred smiled. "I'll go with you. We can split into two groups to each get half of the train. Just avoid the head boy, head girl, and the prefects."

"I'd like to see Ronald try and give me detention for selling others the candy he buys from me on a weekly basis." George snorted.

"Ron is a Prefect?" Lee laughed. "That's a good one."

George shook his head. "I'm telling the truth. We were just as shocked as you."

The older students made a plan on going through the compartments to sell. George and Lee took their share of products and started to go on their route. It was rather easy to sell to the scared first years. They told them that lies about how everyone at Hogwarts played pranks and if they didn't come prepared, they would have to load up their pockets this instant.
