Chapter 113: Kyle, Run Quickly!
A little while later, Fred and George arrived, making the compartment feel quite cramped.
"Why can't Hogwarts get bigger compartments for the train?" Fred complained.
"I heard the prefects' compartment is bigger and more comfortable," George added with a grin. "Unfortunately, none of us are prefects."
"Speaking of prefects, Percy will be a Head Boy next year, won't he?" Kyle noted.
Fred pulled a face as though Kyle had just announced that Quidditch was canceled for next season.
"As much as I hate to admit it, that's probably true," George sighed. "And I bet he'll be wearing that prefect badge the entire holiday."
With that, he stuck a Chocolate Frog card to his chest, puffed out his chest, and strutted down the corridor outside the compartment, mimicking Percy's mannerisms. His exaggerated expressions and pompous walk had everyone laughing.
The Weasley twins always knew how to lighten the mood. After a few rounds of Exploding Chewing Gum, Cho brought up the Ministry notice again, wondering if they really couldn't use any magic over the holidays.
"Well, technically you can," Fred replied, "as long as there's an adult wizard nearby. That way, the Ministry can't tell who actually cast the spell."
