Chapter Two - The Offer

Edwin spent his days wondering when he would next see the two charming boys, if ever again. He wished that they would make an appearance soon as he was set to leave for a summer school in June which was now just one month away. There was nothing that Edwin could do as neither of the boys gave him any way to contact them, all he could do was keep an eye out for an odd flying vehicle.

At the moment, the only thing that kept Edwin occupied was his artwork, he was currently working on a watercolour piece of himself in long brown robes, a brown, droopy wizards hat and a magnificent staff. In the painting, he was walking through fields of long grass and multitudes of flowers, he was closely followed by a small gathering of wizards, which also featured two familiar redheads. He had just added a slight orange to the sky to represent the morning and the long journey ahead of the group of wizards. As he dipped his paintbrush into the now slightly dirty paint water, he heard a slight rumbling coming from inside his room. He pulled the needle up on his record player to stop the music as the rumbling grew closer. Suddenly a flash of green light erupted from his fireplace and out came the Weasley twins.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WA-?" shrieked Edwin as one of the twins put a hand over Edwin's mouth to stop the screaming.

There was a light knock on the door and all three of them turned their heads, "Master Edwin, is everything alright in there?"

The twins looked at him wide-eyed before Edwin finally spoke, "uh- yes thank you, Antoinette, there was just a bug, that's all."

"Very well Sir, have a pleasant evening." she spoke before they heard her footsteps trail off down the stone staircase.

The pair of twins let out big smiles and said in unison, "Woaah- look at the size of this place." They were both very excited to look around Edwin's bedroom due to its size, as well as the fact it was full of "muggle artefacts" as they called them. Edwin just stared at the two as he was still in shock, which was understandable considering he had just watched two men appear out of his bedroom fireplace.

"I didn't think I'd see you again" Edwin finally said to them, snapping out of shock.

"Miss us, did ya?" Fred smirked as he leant over to where Edwin was standing and pulled him into a headlock and ruffled Edwin's already messy curls.

"I suppose I did..." Edwin said quietly, his cheeks were now slightly red in colour as he felt a little embarrassed at the idea of missing two random strangers that he had only met once.

"So, who's this then?" George asked, looking down at the desk where Edwin had previously been working on his painting.

"UH- no one!" said Edwin. "It's nothing!" He attempted to block the twins off from his desk, but they were both towering over him, which made it pretty much impossible to hide anything from them both.

"Well, we, the wizarding community, that is, are definitely flattered," said Fred, holding back a giggle, "but trust me, we would never wear robes like those ones."

"-or a hat like that old thing!" George added, trailing his finger across the now dry painting, "It really is wonderful though." He sounded lost in thought. Edwin panicked as he realised that George may have discovered the two hidden redheads in the painting.

"What brings you two back here anyway?" Edwin asked as the twins were now making themselves comfortable on Edwin's four-poster bed, they both sat cross-legged on the bed and were slightly bouncing.

"Well-" George started.

"Mum has had enough of us-"

"One too many dungbombs I suppose-"
