Chapter 32 - expectations and the demonic twins

Dumbledore pov

Dumbledore was deep in thought.

The last teachers conference made him have a lot on his mind.

First of all, like always since he first heard the prophecy, his thought went to the chosen one, who a year after the prophecy was told became known as Marcus Potter, the boy who lived.

When he first found out from Lily and James that Marcus destroyed Tom, he was thrilled, but after seeing the scar he knew it was just the beginning, which was why he wanted to start teaching Marcus from that moment magic, but as the prophecy said it would be a power the dark lord doesn't know about which would destroy him, and Dumbledore could only think about one thing Tom would never learn is love he decided to make sure Marcus knew love instead of magic.

Yet, remembering his disastrous relationship with his siblings which left him hateful of them for a while, he convinced James and Lily that giving Harry as he was apparently a squib, away would be for the best, something which came to bite him in the a*s. as when Harry came back to the Wizarding world, he had no love for Marcus, Dumbledore thought that when he came to school he would forgive but then he became a Slytherin! Yet not all was lost, as Dumbledore learned from the teachers conference that Harry only friends were Gryffindor and that while he has a lot of Tom's qualities and upbringing, he didn't have his talent with magic and was more similar to Severus with his theoretical and potion talent, now he just needed the right nodge to bring the two brothers together and make him loyal for the light, maybe he would use the little plan he read in Quirinus head about the troll to make it happen, after all, there is no better way to create friendship than by saving someone's life, right?

Fred Weasley's pov

If there was one thing Fred was afraid of more than anything else is becoming a worker in the ministry.

Seriously, when they had a boggart in DADA a few lessons ago this was what it changed into, him working on a desk. Which was why his brother and him were now in the middle of a serious discussion about what they want to do after Hogwarts. And where is a better way to do such a serious discussion than in one of Hogwarts secret passages.

"If thinking about what I love doing, it's pranks and making people laugh."

Fred started

"Well, I actually like more the creation of magical tricks and potions."

George told him

"And of course we should work together, right?"

Fred asked

"Oh, yeah. Brother of mine, we would always be together."

George answered

"I know!"

A lumus was lit in Fred's mind

"We should open a prank store! That way we can both create stuff and make sure we also make people laugh."

"It's a brilliant idea Gred," George exclaimed "if I didn't know better I would say you got the brain out of the two of us!"

"When they left the passage they could feel a notice me not charm make them turn their heads but as pranksters you have to learn to ignore magic like that so you wouldn't get caught by teachers and other wise you would get trapped by your own prank. So while they felt the need to go left they went right, when needing to go down went up and continued going in the opposite direction till they arrived in front a door on the seventh floor, the weird thing that as the owners of the Marauders's map they knew the entire school yet there wasn't supposed to be a room in this place, they even checked the map again to be sure, that meant a new secret room never seen before by them. Right now it didn't matter who was in there they just had to explore.

They opened the door only to see a first year standing in front of a lightning shooting pole and the only word that came from their mouth was "wow"
