Chapter 11 The Weasley Brothers
Two different exclamations came from inside and outside the carriage respectively. Cedric and Carl looked towards the carriage door at the same time.
I only saw that the door of the box had been opened at some point, and two little wizards were leaning against the door frame.
Peeking into the carriage, they looked exactly like they were cast in the same mold.
They all had flaming red hair, and even the expressions on their faces looked exactly the same.
"Fred, George." Cedric greeted them awkwardly, looking at Carl beside him and introducing them hurriedly.
"They are twins from the Weasley family. They are both very upright and friendly classmates. However, unlike me, they are from Gryffindor House."
He explained hurriedly, fearing that Carl would be dissatisfied with the sudden intrusion of these two guys.
Carl was not dissatisfied, or rather, he didn't even have the chance to express his opinion.
The twins were very natural and familiar. Seeing that the owner of the carriage did not drive them away, they walked in one after another.
One of them suddenly opened his arms and looked at Cedric with an exaggerated expression.
"Who is this? How come I forgot who he is?"
Another one immediately took over, "Then you are really a fool, George, you don't even know him."
"This is Mr. Diggory, the student who has been ranked first in the grade for two consecutive years, a model student in the eyes of all teachers and parents, and our most enthusiastic classmate!"
The two of them had exaggerated movements and expressions, like they were performing a crosstalk, with one talking at the same time and making Carl, who was standing beside them, chuckle.
Only Cedric, the person involved, had his ears red with embarrassment, and he saw that the other party wanted to say something.
He quickly changed the subject.
"When you two come here, shouldn't you say hello to the owner of the carriage first?"
“You don’t have to tell me.” Fred chuckled and walked up to Carl, holding his right hand. He bent over and performed a gentlemanly etiquette as if he was performing a drama.
"My name is Fred Weasley, and I greet you my lord, the noble Master Snape."
After he finished speaking, another person hurried over. His expression was even more exaggerated. He knelt down on one knee with one hand on his chest.
"I salute you my king. Anyone who can receive a gift from Professor Snape is a god in my heart. My name is George Weasley, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
Carl looked at the interesting twins in front of him and suddenly felt like playing. He slowly stood up.
Using his hand instead of a sword, he tapped George and Fred on the shoulder, then coughed twice and spoke in a deep voice with his magical performance.
"Rise up, my knights. I have heard of your heroic deeds at Hogwarts, so I specially anoint you here."
"Sir Double Star of the Weasley Family!!"
Hearing this, the twins immediately looked at each other, stood up with curiosity on their faces, and high-fived excitedly.
"Did you hear that? George, oh no, I should call you Sir George."
"Of course, my dear Sir Fred."
The twins deliberately greeted each other, and then hugged each other warmly. At the beginning, the scene was a little cold.
The room immediately became lively with the addition of these two people, and after they started talking, the four of them sat down one after another and began to talk about almost anything.
Of course, Carl and Cedric mainly acted as audience members, and the performance stage was given to the two brothers.
Carl also used the stolen gold galleons to buy a lot of snacks and gave them to the twins as a reward for being knighted.
He hid in the corner and watched how these two men bullied Cedric.
The two of them were talking to each other, talking about how Cedric was popular with the female classmates in the college.
How he excelled in his studies, and how his father showed off his outstanding son in front of their parents.
He told it all with all the exaggeration.
Poor, kind-hearted Cedric could only endure it silently, his face flushed with shame. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and had to resign himself to asking.
"Well, my father's behavior has caused you trouble this time. Tell me what I can do to let him go."
Seeing that the plan was successful, the twins looked at each other silently, rubbed their fingers and said.
"Of course, take out all your summer homework immediately and let us learn from it."
"That's right. We've been looking for you for more than half a month, but you were never home. Mother said you went to America to become a vampire and fell in love."
"I heard there's another child, is that true?"
"Of course it's fake." Cedric's ears turned red and he retorted angrily, but his actions did not slow down at all.
He took his schoolbag from the luggage rack and handed his homework to the two people.
The two brothers took over the homework and immediately started to "borrow lessons". The two brothers had a clear division of labor and their movements were extremely skillful.
It took less than 10 minutes to finish the thick pile of homework by "borrowing" from each other. It can be seen that they do this kind of thing frequently in their daily lives.
Cedric on the side couldn't stand it anymore, he lowered his voice and said.
"Can't you take your homework to your compartment? You're doing this in front of new students."
“It will have a bad impact.”
"New classmate." After completing the 'reference', Fred looked at Carl beside him, then turned to look at Cedric.
Then he shook his head frantically.
"Impossible, he is more handsome than you, and he exudes a mature vibe. You look immature in front of him."
"How could he be a new classmate?"
George quickly added, "Exactly, if you say he is a senior in the seventh grade, I believe it, but he definitely can't be a freshman."
Facing the two people's doubts, Karl did not comment and continued to speak in the same low voice as before.
"Karl Hohenzollern, 15 years old, indeed a new student at Hogwarts. My background is rather special."
"I will explain it to you in detail after you enroll. You don't have to doubt that this raven is Professor Snape."
"As a school admission present to me when I was choosing my wand."
When the Weasley twins heard this, they immediately made a look of surprise and moved in unison, as if they had copied and pasted each other.
Then the two looked at each other again, and suddenly their eyes turned, and they quickly came to Karl and said with a strange expression.
"Carl, you know what? You can't actually be considered a real Hogwarts student right now."
"That's right. Only after passing rigorous tests can one be considered truly enrolled."
Seeing the twins' actions, Cedric immediately put his hand on his forehead, but he did not interrupt the prank.
During the Sorting Ceremony, intimidating the new wizards has always been a tradition for all wizards.
Even young wizards who come from wizard families will not get any real information beforehand.
This behavior can be called the "Umbrella Tearing Operation" in the wizarding world, with unspoken tacit understanding.
This tradition has been preserved for hundreds of years, and it is not easy for him to break such an unspoken rule.
But it is obvious that the twins now want to severely intimidate Carl, after all, the other party has just been in the limelight.
Playing a prank on such a person is undoubtedly very fulfilling, but Cedric, who was standing aside, always had an inexplicable worry in his heart.
He always felt that they would be the ones who would suffer in the end due to this prank.
