"hey y/n, can we test something on you?" the weasley twins ask. "um... what is it?" "we want to see if you know which one of us is who" "oh of course i do, you're Fred and you're george" you point to each as you say their names. "ha! you're wrong, i'm George, he's Fred" you watch them and shake your head. "no... you're fred" they both look confused.

"okay you're right but how did you know?" "i can tell, you're different" "no one else can tell" George says looking at Fred with confusion. "i don't know why you guys just... i can tell who you are" "okay what if we get changed and change our hair" "i will probably still know but you can try" "okay stay here y/l/n!" Fred shouts as they both run off.

you just laugh at them and stay standing there, watching the people around you. they come back about 10 minutes later and you're still standing there, watching Seamus and Neville practice spells against eachother and failing extremely hard. "we're back! guess who is who" you turn to the twins.

one of them is wearing a bunch of raggity old clothes and messy hair while the other is dressed in a nice suit with their hair slicked. you just laugh, "Fred" you say smiling at the boy in the suit. "George" you smile at the boy in the clothes with holes. they both look incredibly surprised. "how do you know this?" "i have no idea" you laugh, not thinking it's a big deal.

it's a huge deal to them because everyone mixes them up.

"hey finnigan, which twin am i?" George asks. "um... Fred?" "no... i'm george" "how would i know? you look the exact same" he responds as he goes back to messing around with Neville. "well Fred does have a crush on me so maybe it's the way you look at me that helps me tell" "hey i'm getting over that" Fred says offended.

you just laugh, "do you guys know where Ron is? he left his potions book with me" "probably off kissing Hermione somewhere" they both laugh. "really helpful, thank you boys" you respond as you begin walking away, "you're doing a good job Neville, just relax and tighten your grip" you suggest as you keep walking.

you see him tighten his grip and relax his shoulders, doing a spell again and it sending seamus to fall on his ass. everyone laughs except Seamus, and Neville thanks you. you make your way to find Ron and see Pansy staring you down on the way. "see something you like Parkinson?" you ask, catching her off guard. Blaise and Draco laugh, while she looks embarrassed.

she slaps both of their arms as you walk away smiling, seeing Ron and sighing in relief. "Ron!" you run up to him and hold out the book, "here". he looks at it and gasps, taking it. "oh thank you, i was looking for this" "you left it with me" "that sounds about right" you smile then look at Hermione, who is avoiding eye contact with you.

she hasn't spoken to you yet, even in your room. you roll your eyes, honestly feeling fed up. "i'll see you later Ron" "where are you going?" "anywhere else" you smile, walking away. he knows that smile was fake, so he sighs. "give her a break" "she's friends with Malfoy Ron." "and?" Hermione scoffs, "are you serious?" "look i get he's a bully but he makes her happy weirdly enough."

"how can Malfoy make her happy? he used to say mean thing to her to" "i don't know, but he does. bloody hell just back off a bit 'mione. you're her bestfriend" "no, you are Ron". "well i'm not getting in the middle of whatever this is, so be mature and handle it yourself". she stays quiet for a moment, not expecting Ron to be so harsh.

he kisses her cheek before walking away, he can never stay mad at her.

you try to find any decent person who isn't going to judge you for your choices and stumble across the twins again, they're back in their uniforms with their hair semi normal. "you got changed fast" "yeah, didn't feel like myself... speaking of which, who am i?" "George i know it's you" "how?" they look extremely confused again.

you just laugh, "you guys are like the only people making me happy today so, can i hang out with you?" "yeah sure, wanna talk about it?" Fred asks. "you're so soft" George jokes, earning a nudge from Fred. "that's okay, i just need some fun" "well you have come to the right people"

for the next hour or so, the weasley twins do many adventurous things with you, you have the best day until class comes around. you sit alongside Harry, wondering if he is gonna act weird too. "Harry?" you whisper, he shoots his head up to look at you with a smile. "you good with me?" you say softly, he looks confused but nods. "of course i am"

it means a lot to you that harry is okay with you. while Ron is your best friend and feels like family, there's something about Harry.

you've had such a weird connection to him since you met. he feels like blood, even if you aren't the closest with him. you look over and see Draco concentrating on his work, you find yourself accidentally smiling, and stop immediately when you realise.
