Taking On The Magical World

I put place a hand on Fred"s shoulder and the other one on George"s shoulder. This will teach them a good lesson about not playing with me.

With a bright smile on my face I speak in a kindly warm elder tone and say to the both of them, "listen up here guys, right now, at Hogwarts, you guys are just the little kids, so n.o.body will be following you or for that matter be even taking you seriously, but as you get older and you become 5th, 6th, or 7th year students all those little bright-eyed first years and second years will look up to the both of you like role models. But, word of advice, you shall need something to differentiate you from the rest of the crowd because there is like what, 20-30 first years alone in Gryffindor. Now that means there are around 80-120 first years in Hogwarts, and if you were to count the whole student body that would be 560-840, so you would really need to have a thing going on for you that makes you guys stand out from the rest of the student body then you will not need to fret over being obsolete or mundane. Then after you have your thing it would be your time to shine."

I looked at both of them right in the eyes and asked, "kapch kapsh, hmm." They looked at me with questioning looks on their faces, it would seem like they did not understand, so I try to clarify, "It means do you understand."

"OH, yes, yes, we did, so anyways you are saying if we have a "thing" then we will be popular," asked Fred.

I nod my head slowly for just a tiny bit, "Yeah, I guess, sort of."

They look at each other and ask me at the same time, "Well, us breaking into Filch"s office would take us to the top no matter what."

"Yeah, while we are at it let"s break into the library and get ourselves some wickedly powerful spells."

Hey, all I wanted to do was get back at you guys with a small joke and damper your moods a little bit, not sprout out bold aspirations in your hearts. f.u.c.k I really did shoot myself in the foot.

--------------------

"Listen up here," I shout angrily at the twins then I remember myself and where I am in, the Gryffindor common room. I speak up again but this time in a whisper, "I am not taking part in your plan at all, we will get caught no matter what if we go through with it, so count me out.

I lay back on to my chair and turn to stare at the fireplace just so I could ignore those two, but I cannot shake them off since I keep on hearing the both of them slowly whisper my name"Caelum, caelum, c . ae lum!"

I take in a deep breath and let it out, I turn to them and ask in the best calm tone I can, "What do you need Fred, George?"

"We just wanted to say that, if the both of us get caught you too would be implicated in it, so come with us or stay here, we will all be in trouble if the two of us were to be caught."

My eyes narrow, "you guys wouldn"t." My mind spins as thoughts ran through then I catch on to one and say to them smugly, "even if you blew me out I wouldn"t get in trouble since I wasn"t with the both of you, hah!"

Both of them look at me with a knowing smile and then Fred speaks up, "That is not really the point Caelum, ever since we were kids, the three of us were always together and we did nearly everything together so when we are caught, Filch will absolutely make to point you out and why wouldn"t the Professors a.s.sume it because they know that the three of us always stick together."

Dang I think to myself as I rub my nose bridge trying to hold back the ma.s.sive headache, I know what these two d.a.m.n devils are saying is true, I turn to George who continues on from where his twin left off, but what nearly bursts my nerve is that he is absentmindedly picking his nails as if there is ain"t a thing he gives a care about in this world. "If we tattle or not, you, Mr. Lovegood, will be implicated, either way, if we were to be caught," George says.

"Hey, hey listen up," I say trying a different approach, a more soft tone "that right there is blackmailing, you guys wouldn"t do that to your best friend would you, huh?"

Both of them place their hands on their chests and put on shocked expressions, Fred speaks up "We would never blackmail a good friend, all we are doing is stating the facts anyways it is you that I am worried about, abandoning your friends while they risk their necks for you."

I looked at them confused, "What do you mean by "we are risking our necks for you"?"

"We are trying to get you very useful magical artifacts from Filch"s office and even powerful spells to boot! Anyways we know you want those cool toys and powerful spells, Caelum."

I really do what so see what Filch has in his office and gets some useful spells, but there is no way I am admitting that to these devils. "Okay look we cannot hit both the library and Filch"s office that would be stupid since we will be drastically increasing the chance of us being caught so lets just hit Filch"s office and we can hit the library some other time."

They look at me with smiles on their faces, "So you are on board?"

I snort and say, "what other choice do I have."
