The Weasley twins are on their way to Hogwarts, ready to introduce their products to the students. The twins were sitting in a compartment on the train, sitting right in front of each other. They were discussing win what order they were going to present their products and how they were going to present them. Fred was wearing a red suit and so was George. Both had brown shiny shoes on their feet. They both believe that they had come a long way. Now, they can afford things that they never thought they could have. But what they found most important, was that they had finally accomplished their goal of making people smile, and that they would be doing that together for the rest  of their lives. 

They had all sorts of products in their suitcases. Such as their famous extendable ears, Skiving Snack boxes, Screaming Yo-yo, and Bombastic Bombs. Professor Dumbledore had told them that they would be welcomed in the great hall at breakfast time and then they would stay at Hogwarts for three days so they can show off their products. As they belong to the Gryffindor house, they will stay in the Gryffindor Common Room with their younger siblings. 

The train had finally come to a stop, now revealing the beautiful stone-made castle that was a school. George smiled at the sight of Hogwarts and so did Fred. They looked at each other and nodded. Fred stood up from his booth and slid the compartment door open, letting George out and then leaving himself. They both picked up their luggage and headed towards the open train doors and headed out. When they left the train, they got on a carriage that was now taking them to Hogwarts.

AQUILA

The world has never felt as dark as it is feeling now. I'm afraid. It feels as if life is darkening little by little right in front of me and there's no way I can turn on the light. The mark on my right arm stings once the lord calls, reminding me that I might never find a way out. I have my friends with me, but only one of them knows what I'm up to, and what hurts most is that he is in this too. I cannot tell the man that stays in my mind and heart what I am truly doing with my life at the moment as he would probably turn away, but most of all, be in danger.  - Aquila Phoenix 

I closed my black leather journal and hid it in my black wooden drawer next to my bed. I stood up from my bed and looked at myself in the mirror before heading to breakfast, which is in about five minutes. I had agreed to meet Draco at the Slytherin table so we could head to Defence Against the Dark Arts together. As his grades have greatly improved in Defense Against the Dark Arts, they have moved him to the higher year Defense Against the Dark Arts like me. Professor Dumbledore also thought it would be good for me to have someone my age around me when I'm around a group of older students. 

I left my dorm, but as I walked down the hall I felt like I had forgotten to do something. I let it slide and continued to walk towards the great hall. When I entered, I met eyes with Draco, who smiled at me lightly and moved his head signaling for me to sit down. I walked towards my seat next to him and smile back.

"Goodmorning," I greeted. Draco greeted me back and grabbed two green apples from the basket and passed one on to me. I smiled thankfully and took a bite out of it. As I bit on the apple, I heard Professor Dumbledore beginning to speak. My attention turned towards the front, now showing Professor Dumbledore standing up in front of his table. 

"Goodmorning students and teachers of Hogwarts," Professor Dumbledore said. The students and teachers said "good morning" back and the hall went silent. "As many of you may know, we will soon be receiving guests today." My heart sank. Fred. I had completely forgotten he was coming to visit Hogwarts. The chattering the students were making could not cover the sounds of my pounding heart in my chest. "So please welcome, the one and only, Weasley twins!", Professor Dumbledore exclaimed. I heard the hall doors open wide. As I turned my head, I saw him. Fred was walking right next to George with a bright smile on his face. They were both caring suitcases and were wearing matching suits. I had forgotten how good Fred looked in Red. My eyes widened as my heart began to quicken. I turned to Draco who was frowning as he took a bite of his apple and stared at the twins. People from all houses began to clap and cheer loudly, and who could blame them after last year's firework show? 

As they walked, the closer they were to me. Once Fred's steps reached where I was, he looked over to me and gave me a shy smile, and continued to walk towards professor Dumbledore. He reached the front of the hall with Goerge and then they both shook Dumbledores hand. Professor Dumbledore then signaled for them to say a few words.

"Hello everyone!" George exclaimed. People began to clap again and then the room went silent. 

"Some of you may already know us, but for those who don't, my name is Fred Weasley and this is my brother, George." Fred introduced himself enthusiastically. 

"We are so excited to be able to spend some time with you for the next three days and be able to catch up with some of our younger friends," George said as he looked over at some of the friends he and Fred had in the year below that was in the Gryffindor table. "And we are also very excited to get to know all of you." 

"We want to thank professor Dumbledore for inviting us to share some time with you lot and to introduce the products that I've been told that you are all so excited to see," Fred said as he looked over to Professor Dumbledore. Professor Dumbledore nodded with a smile. 

"Thank you." Fred and George said at the same time as they looked at Dumbledore.
