Age of Mischief ~ George Weasley [Harry Potter] Fanfic

Hogwarts

     ****George's point of view****

I get in the carriage and sit down next to Bethany. I smile as she looks out the window and sighs happily when she sees the castle. "It's so beautiful!" she murmurs. Fred starts joking around and I join in, making Bethany laugh.  I love Bethany as much as I love Fred. I don't love Fred in that way, but you know. He's my twin brother. I've known him all my life.

They both mean the world to me. Obviously Fred doesn't see my intimate side, but Bethany certainly sees that. I love her so much. She rests her head against my shoulder and I smile.

The journey is quite long but with my best friends its feels like ten minutes (it was probably thirty).

We goof around and joke for the rest of the journey, and when we get out I hold Bethany's hand as she sighs and looks up at the castle. "Welcome home honey!" I say as she smiles at me. I look over at Fred and wink and he stops and sees Katie Bell. He catches her attention and winks at her, whilst wolf-whistling. I hear her laugh and look down at Bethany, who's looking up at me with her beautiful hazel eyes. I kiss her cheek and we wait until Fred comes over again. "I just asked Katie out." Fred tells us as we walk into the great hall. "Congrats man!" Says Bethany as soon as he finished. "That's really sweet!"

"Well done bro!" I congratulate him too, and suddenly spot a woman who looks like a toad wearing a pink cardigan and dress. "Oh god, who the hell is she?" I look at Bethany , and I'm surprised to see that she has a grim look on her face, and she says, "That woman was at Harry's trial. She's called Dolores Umbridge or something like that." We sit down at the Gryffindor table and wait. After a few minutes, Professor McGonagall leads in the frightened first years, carrying a stool, and the old sorting hat.

"In times of old when I was new

And Hogwarts barely started

The founder's of our noble school

Thought never to be parted:

United by a common goal,

They had the selfsame yearning

To make the worlds best magic school

And pass along their learning.

"Together we will build and teach!"

The four good friends decided

And never did they dream that they

Might some day be divided

For where there such friends anywhere

As Slytherin and Gryffindor?

Unless it was the second pair

Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?

So how could it have gone so wrong?

How could such friendships fail?

Why, I was there and so can tell

The whole sad, sorry tale

Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those

Whose ancestry is purest."

Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach just those whose

Intelligence is surest."

Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those

With brave deeds to their name."

Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot,
