Fred and George Weasley decided to visit the Burrow for a while. Everything had been excellent at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, but the twins still wanted to have a promotional day. They decided the promotional day would be on Monday and they would need to take in an extra hand. The two of them wanted to ask their sister, Ginny, for her help on the day so this was why they ventured home.
The two apparated into the living room of the Burrow. The usual popping sound of the apparation caused someone to run in to see whom it was. Mrs. Weasley was this person. She had been in the kitchen fixing breakfast. She smiled at the sight of her twin boys and quickly scooped them up into her arms and hugged them. "How wonderful to see my boys!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed.
"Oh mum. We always come over and stay for awhile." Fred said.
"Yes, I know, but I always miss my sons. Anyways, how long are you staying for?" Molly asked.
"We're not sure. We were testing one of our products and the flat above the store kind of became destroyed." George explained.
"Oh dear!" exclaimed Mrs. Weasley. "Well, as long as you two are alright and you can stay as long as you like."
"Great mum. We'll make sure not to do the same to the house." Fred said laughing.
George snickered so Mrs. Weasley hit them both upside the head. "You best not!" she scolded, in her usual way. "Breakfast will be shortly so don't cause too much trouble when I go back in the kitchen."
"We won't mum." Both of the twins said in unison with a smile on their face.
Mrs. Weasley went back into the kitchen to finish cooking breakfast. At the same time, Fred and George heard someone coming down the stairs. They turned around and saw a girl they had never seen before. In reality, she wasn't a girl, but a young woman with medium-length brown hair, a slender waist, and long legs. She was wearing a pink tank top, black short shorts, and was barefoot. The twins checked her out from head to toe, and as she approached closer, they could tell she had green eyes.
Once the girl had reached the main floor, George whispered something to Fred. They both nodded and then proceeded to each grab one of the girl's arms. She tried to squirm free but the twins just smirked. "I see we have an imposter in the house." George said.
The girl still continued to squirm free. "Let me go!" She exclaimed.
"Oh. I see we have a feisty one here. She must be a Death Eater." Fred joked.
"Or a Slytherin." George mentioned.
"I'm muggle born!" The girl exclaimed, stomping on George's foot really hard.
"Ow!" He shouted, still having a hold of her.
Fred laughed, and just then, Ginny came running down the stairs. She looked mad as she pulled the girl away from her brothers. "Leave her alone!" She demanded.
Ginny took the girl aside and the twins overheard them. "Are you ok?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah. My arm just stings a little." The girl said, rubbing her arm.
Ginny glared at her brothers. "Oh come on sis. We're sorry." George apologized with a half-smile as if he didn't mean it.
"Well you better get used to her being around. She's staying the whole summer until we go off to school to become Healers." Ginny explained.
"If she's going to be staying here, does she have a name we can call her by?" Fred asked with a smirk.
George snickered and Ginny kept glaring at them. "I'm Danika. Danika Adamske." The girl said with a light British accent.
"I'm Fred, and this is George." Fred said, pointing to himself and then his brother.
Just then, Mrs. Weasley entered the room again. "Breakfast is ready everyone," she explained, before turning to Ginny. "Ginny dear. Go wake up your brother."
"Yes mum." Ginny said, running up the stairs.
"I better go with her. He might have to be dragged out of bed." George said, grinning.
George walked up the stairs and Mrs. Weasley went back into the kitchen. Fred and Danika were left standing there. Silence swept over them because Fred didn't know what to say. He didn't even know her so he felt strange having to share a house with her. He was used to Harry and Hermione because he knew them, but this was different. He cleared his throat because the silence was annoying him. "So you are the same age and year as my sister?" He asked.
"Yes." Danika replied.
"What house were you in?" He asked.
"Hufflepuff." She answered.
"Well, we better go sit at the table," he suggested. "It could take forever to wake Ron up."
With that said, the two of them made their way to the kitchen. Fred sat down on one side, while Danika sat down on the other. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley sat at the ends of the tables, one on each end. A few minutes later, Ginny and George came rushing down the stairs followed by a yawning Ron who was still in his pajamas. George sat down next to Fred, and Ginny sat next to Danika. Ron was the last to make his way over and he plopped down next to George.
Once everyone was settled, they started filling their plates full of scrambled eggs and sausages Mrs. Weasley had prepared for breakfast. Mr. Weasley was reading the Daily Prophet as he ate his breakfast. Ron was shoving enormous amounts of food into his mouth as usual. Fred glanced over at Danika a few times but she didn't notice. Everyone was silent until an owl swooped in with two letters. Molly Weasley took the letters and the owl flew away. She quickly read both and everyone else watched her as she did. "It seems we will have a full house this summer," explained Molly. "Harry and Hermione will be arriving in the evening to stay for the entire summer."
Ron and Ginny seemed beaming at the thought of their significant others arriving and staying for the whole summer. "I'll have Hermione share your room, Ginny, and Harry will be in your room as usual, Ron." Mrs. Weasley explained.
"That's going to be a tight fit having Ginny, Hermione, and Danika all in one room mum." George mentioned.
"Danika has been staying in Percy's old room." Ginny explained before her mother could.
"Oh that reminds me," said Fred. "We're having a promotional sale Monday at the shop and we were wondering if you would want to help, Ginny."
"Well, I don't want to leave Danika here." Ginny said.
"I can help too if you want." Danika offered.
"Great! Then you can both help." George said.
Ginny and Danika both smiled, as did the twins. It was settled so both Ginny and Danika would help for the promotional sale on Monday at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Everyone continued to eat and Ginny picked up a plate of muffins. "You want one Dani?" She asked.
The twins snickered. Ginny glared at them again. "What's so funny?" She asked.
"Dani? It sounds so boyish." Fred commented.
"It's a nickname my parents gave me when I was younger." Danika explained.
"So? It doesn't mean people have to still call you that." Fred stated.
In that instant, Danika stood up from the table. She turned to Mrs. Weasley. "I'm not that hungry. May I be excused?" She asked politely even though she seemed slightly upset.
"Yes dear, you may." Molly answered.
Danika left the table and walked up the stairs. Once she was out of sight, Ginny threw a muffin at Fred. "What!? What did I do!?" He exclaimed.
"Her parents are dead." Ginny replied.
Fred's expression changed. He felt bad because he didn't know. Mrs. Weasley turned her attention to Ginny. "Is this true dear?" She asked.
Ginny nodded. "Yes."
Molly Weasley turned to her son Fred. "Fredrik Weasley! You march yourself up those stairs and apologize this instant!" She shouted as her cheeks turned red with anger.
Fred quickly sat up from the table. He grabbed a muffin and started to walk towards the stairs. He felt his family's eyes watching him as he walked up the stairs and he made his way to Percy's old room. He contemplated what to say in his mind. He didn't know her, and yet he had said something rude to her. He wasn't good at apologizing because he was such a prankster and was always pulling jokes on people with his brother. He didn't want Danika to end up hating him since they would be living under the same roof for a while so he took a deep breath and knocked on her door.
