Ok, so there wasn't much news news tonight, but I didn't let that stop me! Since Divya's cousin was born today, I decided to dedicate this post to my best mate (and partner in mischeif...), Divya! Now, for those of you who don't know us, Divya and I often get into trouble (miner, of course...blowing up toilets, annoying vanessa...), so about a year ago we began refering to ourselves with slightly nerdy, Harry-Potter-ish nicknames, George and Fred. Of course she made me be Fred, the one who dies, but i forgave her 'cause she lost an ear. So here, in honor of our George, are some of Fred and George's most amazing quotes and excerts from the Harry Potter series:
------------
Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins were left singing along to a very slow funeral march. (Book 1)
------------
"You haven't got a letter on yours", George observed. "I suppose she [Mrs.Weasley] thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid - we know we're called Gred and Forge." (Book 1)
------------
Fred and George, however, found all this very funny. They went out of their way to march ahead of Harry down the corridors, shouting, "Make way for the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through..." (Book 2)
------------
They were almost at King's Cross when Harry remembered something."Ginny--what did you see Percy doing, that he didn't want you to tell anyone?""Oh that," said Ginny, giggling. "Well--Percy's got a girlfriend." Fred dropped a stack of books on George's head. "What?" "It's that Ravenclaw prefect, Penelope Clearwater," said Ginny. "That's who he was writing to all last summer. He's been meeting her all over the school in secret. I walked in on them kissing in an empty classroom one day. He was so upest when she was--you know--attacked. You won't tease him, will you?" she added anxiously. "Wouldn't dream of it," said Fred, who was looking like his birthday had come early. "Definitely not," said George, sniggering. (Book 2)
----------
(ok, this one is Ron, I just had to add it)
Ron was staring at Pettigrew with the utmost revulsion."I let you sleep in my bed!" he said. (Book 3)
-----------
"Well...when we were in our first year, Harry-young, carefree, and innocent-"Harry snorted. He doubted whether Fred and George had ever been innocent. (Book 3)
------------
(Harry, just being greeted by Percy) "Harry!" said Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply. "Simply splendid to see you, old boy-" "Marvelous," said George, pushing Fred aside and seizing Harry's hand in turn. "Absolutely spiffing." Percy scowled. "That's enough, now," said Mrs. Weasley. "Mum!" said Fred as though he'd only just spotted her and seized her hand too. "How really corking to see you-" (Book 3)
------------
"Yeah, someone might slip dragon dung in it again, eh, Perce?" said Fred. "That was a sample of fertilizer from Norway!" said Percy, going very red in the face. "It was nothing personal!""It was," Fred whispered to Harry as they got up from the table. "We sent it." (Book 4)
------------
"Don't be prat, Neville, that's illegal," said George. "They wouldn't use the Cruciatus Curse on the champions. I thought it sounded a bit like Percy singing... maybe you've got to attack him while he's in the shower, Harry." (Book 4)
...and that is all the room I have. Hope you enjoted it, there's more where these came from.
