Author's Note: Hey, sorry about the long wait! Anyway, here's the next installment!

"Weasley, Frederick!"

This hall is so big, I bet it'd make a really terrific place for a fireworks display! Or maybe—I know! Food fight on brooms—like Quidditch, but tastier. I can't believe we're finally at Hogwarts—it's a fitting spot for our genius!

'Our genius? Ah, yes, the brother. Well. You certainly are confident. Where to put you?'

Gryffindor, of course. Everyone knows they're the best.

'Do they? You're really too creative for them, you know. They'll only narrow your mind, and that would be a pity, what with all that 'genius,' wouldn't it?'

'Perhaps. But you could go far in Slytherin.'

Yeah—like to the other end of this hall and all the way back to the Burrow at a sprint! I'd rather be with ickle Ronniekins and baby Ginny than in Slytherin.

'Very well. Take good care of yourself and your schemes in—
