Sugar : Fred Weasley

25: Changes of Hogwarts

[victoria's pov]

The Weasley family and I walked to King's Cross station. It was officially time to go back to Hogwarts. Hermione, Ginny, and I walked beside each other as Hermione was talking.

"Why do you even need three luggage bags?" Hermione asked.

I shrugged and replied, "I have lots of personal items. One for my clothes, school uniforms, and school supplies."

Hermione sighed with disbelief.

"Come on, Victoria," Fred said and I went inside the cabin with George, followed by Lee.

Before I could put my luggage on the top shelf, Fred grabbed them. He easily put them on the shelves and sat down by the window.

"Thanks, Freddie," I said and kissed him.

He grinned and said, "It's no problem."

Lee and George grinned and Fred gave them a funny look.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Oh, nothing," George lied.

"You're both just too romantic," Lee said with his tone higher than usual, teasing us.

I threw his pillow at him (yes, he brought his own pillow. He always does.), but he just laughed.

After a long trip, we were almost at Hogwarts. The cabin was a mess after Lee and the twins had raided the trolly. They had used some of the money Harry gave them last year. We were all laughing as quietly as we could, for we've been warned to stop being so loud twice already.

We had just thrown some Stink Sweets in the Slytherin compartment. It was one of the twins' newest inventions. It only took them half the train ride to make it. It looked like a small pebble, but it wasn't. The pebble was made of plastic and inside it, was enchanted to smell horrid. All someone had to do to set it off, was to step on it, breaking the plastic seal. Fred had somehow managed to cause the smell to puff grey smoke so the pranksters can get away. George had made them in different colors, making them look like the muggle M&M's. They wanted to call it Stink Sweets.

I asked them what would happen if someone ate it and they shrugged.

"I guess we'll never know," Fred said.

"Unless we have a volunteer," George finished, making us laugh.

"I have to change into my robes," I said. "Out with all of you."

I shooed them out as they laughed, but Fred put his foot between the door as I was about to close it.

"Do I get an exception?" he asked in an innocent voice and with a sly smile.

I blushed and tried to hide it. My lips curved into a smile.

"No," I said and he removed his foot from the door.

I opened up my bag and looked for my clothes. I was puzzled when I couldn't find my clothes, so I dumped out my stuff. I forgot which bag I had put my clothes in.

"It must be in the other bag," I said to myself and put my stuff back into my bag, taking almost five minutes.

I opened my other bag and realized it was the wrong bag as well.

"Ughhh."

I put my stuff back into my bag and sighed, opening my last bag. Thankfully, it was the right baggage and I took out my uniform. I took off my current shirt and put on the white buttoned-up shirt.

Just then, the door opened, revealing Fred and George.

"Woman, what is taking you so-"

They were cut short when they saw me almost shirtless. I immediately covered myself and yelled at them in embarrassment.
