Taking on the Magical World 36 Chapter 35: Back to Hogwarts 2

I cleared my throat to get their attention and they both slowed down a bit with throwing spells at each other and turned to me. Once I had their attention I asked the question that in my opinion really needed to be addressed, "What the hell are the two of you doing?"

"Oh, hey Caelum, I see that the moment has finally come and we have come earlier than you on the Hogwarts Express," said George as he ducked under, as the spell Fred fired sped over him.

I sigh, and place my hand on my forehead trying to rub away the headache that will come upon me any moment, I look at the both of them moving about and casting the few spells that they know at each other and try to figure out what on earth their goal is, but I cannot guess how these two minds work "You two did not answer my question, so let me say it slowly, what are the two of you up?" I ask again.

You may be wondering why I am overreacting to what these two are doing but at Hogwarts, we got into so much trouble (thanks to Filch) and our first year is not even over yet. I know for sure that Filch is just waiting for us to do something dumbfounding then get us kicked out.

"Well, we were cooped up in our house for so long and thanks to our dear mother we could not do any magic at home," answered Fred as he fell to the floor to dodge the spell fired at him and rolled to one side to dodge the other spell. "Now we are getting our blood flowing and getting ready for Hogwarts," said George through pants and sit down.

Fred gets up from the ground and also sits down, I look at the both of them and think to myself why on earth did I decide to become friends with these two, all the trouble I get into is not worth it, complaining to myself I take my suitcase and put it on the rack with the twin's stuff.

I grab Hedwig's cage and look inside and see that she is sleeping, I wanted to ask if she wanted to fly to Hogwarts since she enjoys being in the outside rather than being cooped up inside her cage, but I see that she is very tired from the hunting she did all night long, so I carefully put her on the rack.

"So, what did you do during the holidays, Caelum?" Fred asked me. Before I could answer him, Lee Jorden came inside our train compartment. "Hello, mates!"

"Hey, Lee it looks like you are the last one to come today," says Fred and George picks up the conversation so naturally that I am shocked yet again at how these two can finish each other sentences a part of me wonders if they could read each other minds or something. "So that means you get the only remaining seat."

"Anyways what were you guys talking about when I came inside?" asked Lee. I look at him and ask myself does he have some magical creature blood in him because that is some really good hearing he has. Man, what kind of people did I befriend.

"Oh, we were asking each other what we did over the holidays before you rudely interrupted us," answered Fred with a smile on his face, Lee just awkwardly laughed it off.

At that moment I speak up, "ignore the both of them, so what did you do over the Holidays, all I did was read some books."

Lee looked at us with what I think is stars in his eyes or I am just being a chuunibyou, "You won't believe it but there was a wizarding circus in town this Christmas and my dad took me to it and there were so many cool magical creatures and amazing spell being cast."

George sighed, "man you are so lucky all we did was play quidditch, and you, Caelum, what is this you and reading, why can't you live a little."

"Tch, do I look like a little kid to you? Anyways have you not heard the phrase knowledge is power, you got to read a lot if you want to ever become a powerful wizard."

Fred shakes his head, "You have said that phrase a million times and you should know that we do read, sometimes, but we only read things of use not any of the boring old drabs that you read."

I shake my head and get back to my book and at that, the train finally picks up and we start to leave the station. I stick my head out the window and so do the three of them and we wave our families goodbye all the way until we are far off from the train station.

As the train was moving along I heard Lee sigh and I look at him with a questioning look on my face, "What, I am very hungry just cannot wait for the trolley to come along."

As if his wish was heard a knock came on our compartment door and it was slowly slid open. We looked at who opened the door and we see that it is the trolley lady. "Hello dears, can I get you anything off from the trolley?"

Fred and George mouth hang open and they look at each other as if to confer their theory with each other. Lee looks at the trolley lady and says, "We will... have a little bit of everything... if that is alright with you."
