George sighed and stared out across Diagon Alley. Snow littered the ground and people walked around with their heads drooped.

It was a mere two weeks since the battle of Hogwarts and most of Wizarding Britain was mourning their lost. His brother Fred dropped into the seat next to him, gazing out at the Alley, at all the memories. The empty shops. The scorch marks. The people.

They had almost lost Fred during the battle but by some chance, they were able to heal him. George didn't know what he would do if Fred died. Like his father had. Like his mother had. Like Charlie had. Like Percy had.

'Is that someone moving in there? Right across?' he heard Fred ask. He pulled himself from his memories and gaped seeing three figures, one slightly taller and larger then the other two, dressed in silver, hooded cloaks walk into the empty shop. They were carrying a lot of luggage. 'Should we go introduce ourselves?' asked Fred. George nodded. He needed a distraction.

The two pulled on some cloaks and walked over to the tiny shop across from them. They both had to hold back a gasp seeing the older woman standing in the doorway. She was so sweet looking, rosy cheeks, endearing wrinkles, a beautiful smile. Her silver hair billowed out behind her like a cape of moonbeams.

'Hello dears. I'm Mary-Sue Mid'night Mauve Memosa Spring North. Please just call me Ma-Sue. Everyone does.'

'Hello Ma-Sue, I'm Fred and this is Georgie. Pleased to meet you. May I assist you in any way?' asked Fred, bowing ridiculously low. Suddenly, George felt the urge to bow to. And he did.

'Oh you're such dears, I'll call my daughters down and they can give you some jobs. Di! Em!'

Two stunning girls walked down the stairs. 'Hello I'm Diamond Sun'rise Azure Freesia Winter North.' Smiled the one on the left. She had soft, creamy skin, silver-grey eyes framed by thick lashes, soft, flowing golden hair the color of the sun and a sweet peach scent. Fred was absolutely taken by her. 'Please call me Di.' She smiled.

'I'm Emerald Dawn Tur'quoise Rose Summer North. Please call me Em.' Smiled the other girl. She too had soft, creamy skin but her eyes were green like to emeralds taken from the richest mines in the world and polished by the best jeweler in the world. They shone with humor, love and general happiness. Her ebony locks hung past her waist like a swirling cape of darkness. Her rosy cheeks dimpled as she smiled.

'Em, Di, can you find something for these two lovely gentlemen to do?' asked Ma-Sue. They nodded, giggled and beckoned for us to follow them where we spent a lovely afternoon unpacking and helping set up the shop- Mary-Sues Magical-Seamstressing.

The shop was bright, colorful, with different magical materials stacked everywhere. It was amazing.

Fred and George kissed Em and Di's hands as they left. 'Good bye.' They smiled.

'Good bye dears.' All three chorused back.

'What amazing ladies.' Sighed Fred. George couldn't agree more but something was a little off.

'Emerald, Diamond, come here.' Came the soft, deadly voice of Mary-Sue.

Her trembling daughters made their way over to their mother. 'Now dears, you know what you have to do and you know the consequences of not doing it.' Hissed the woman. In her hand was her wand. 'Crucio!' hissed Mary-Sue, watching with pleasure as the girls screamed.
