Fred And George's Joking Ground

Fred And George's Joking Ground

"Those two boys are hopeless!" Mrs Weasley said as she put down the delicious Apple Pie on the table. Mr. Weasley just nodded and grunted. Harry and Ron dug into the delicious pie eating as much as they could.

"Where are they anyway?" Arthur Weasley asked.

"Have you been listening?" Molly said slamming down the pans in a flutter. "I CAN'T FIND THEM. They should have been back from this meeting thing hours ago! I shouldn't have let them go! What was I thinking?" Mrs. Weasley sat down and missed the chair narrowly, she fell to the floor and slammed her hand down in furry. Arthur helped her up.

"They will be back soon." He had no sooner said it when the front door burst open and Fred and George burst in.

"Guess what?!!!!" Fred said in pure delight.

"Mr. Booshee said our inventions were amazing so we sold some and made millions! MILLIONS! IN ONE AND A HALF HOURS!"

The two twins hugged each other.

"We set up a stall in Diagon Alley for a bit. We got 50,000 galleons! Can you believe it! In one and a half hours! We know have a shop there and we start work immediately from tomorrow isn't this exciting?!!!"

Arthur was white as a sheet.

"50,000 galleons? That's… amazing!"

"We gave 10,000 for the shop so we have machines to make our products!"

Harry and Ron sat gobsmacked. They looked for Mrs. Weasley but she was lying on the floor in a dead faint.

"Would you look at that." Fred said raising his eyebrow. "That shut her up!"

****************

Harry, Ron, Fred and George went up to bed after the news. Ginny was over at a friends for the summer which Harry found relieving. Fred and George had massive grins on their faces. After accommodating themselves in Ron's room. Ron went and came back later with Fred and George.

"What are you going to do with the money?" Ron asked Fred and George eagerly.

"Well." Fred said thoughtfully. "Where giving mum and dad a lot to pay off their debts." George continued by saying. "Where keeping a bit of it. And we want to fix up the house a bit, we are going to give some to you, Harry,"

"No!" Harry said. "Don't worry. There are more important people to give the money to."

"But Harry!" George began.

"NO" Harry said stubbornly. Fred and George sighed and carried on.

"I you insist." Fred said in mock sadness. "It only means we get more!" They all laughed.

"Go on!" said Ron "Your giving it to me…"

"Oh yes." Fred said impersonating Percy and sticking out his chest. They all started laughing again. "I'll say it simply." This took a god minuite to get through with all the laughter. "We are going to give some to all the family."

Harry and Ron woke up next morning and went down to breakfast.

"These summer holidays are going rather quickly aren't they!" Ron said merrily.

Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen making bacon and eggs. She was humming the theme tune to who wants to be a millionaire.

"Good morning Mrs. Weasley!" Harry said taking off his glasses and wiping his eyes.

"Hi mum." Ron said as he sat down at the table. Mr. Weasley was already there reading the Daily Prophet.

"Good morning Harry, Ron." She said cheerily. "Bacon? Eggs?"

Once everyone was at the table including Ginny who had blushed rose red when she saw Harry. Mrs. Weasley stood up.

"We have an announcement." She said unable to stop smiling.

"Really?" George said a hint of sarcasm peeking in his mouth.

"I thought we were going to have a daily gathering to discuss how we were going to dispose of Percy."

Everyone laughed apart from Percy and Mrs. Weasley. Percy stuck out his chest and said.

"I could call that a violation."

"Percy really!" Arthur said chuckling this is a family discussion. Percy frowned and slouched over his bacon and eggs.

"Continue Molly."

"As I was saying. We are going to move house! We have the money and this place is falling apart! Look at this." She grabbed the wall paper and pulled.

"Mum I tried that to get your attention to move house! It doesn't budge!" Fred said smiling.

"We don't need persuading! We are very happily out of here!" Ron and George said in unison.

"The thing is." Molly said swallowing. "We need a bit more money from you two.." Everyone looked at the twins. Fred and George looked at each other.

"Trust us mum. As long as we approve we will DEFINITELY give you the money!" Everyone gave a sigh of relief.

"But!" Fred said slyly. " We have to approve of the house and we get our own rooms!"

"They have to join together though!" George added. "With onsuit bathrooms!"

"Woah!" Arthur began.

"It's not like your giving us THAT much money!"

"Who said?" Fred and George said together looking sly and innocent at the same time.

****************

The Weasley family and Harry walked into "houzeIt" the wizards housing society.

"Hello! Arthur!" A man with floppy brown hair walked towards Arthur. "How are you?"

"Fine, fine!" Arthur replied.

Several minuites later they were using flu-powder to reach what looked like the perfect house.

It was a Tudor Style house with big black beams and small windows. It had a thatch roof and many small windows. It had many window boxes with blossoming flowers. The garden was beautiful with a Quidditch Pitch at the back with a lake and small stream going through a rock garden leading to a water fountain which lead to a lake. There was also a swimming pool in the most peculiar shape Fred and George had ever seen. The front door was brown with a small window. The house itself was rather big. There were two staircases, one leading to one side of the house the other leading to the attic. The attic was the size of the entire house with a bathroom and balcony. The other staircase led to a hallway. On the right hand side where doors leading to bedrooms four to be exact each with a bathroom and balcony of it's own. The other side had small storage rooms and two big rooms. All the rooms were ornately decorated and the doors were white. Downstairs was divided into four rooms. A kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and a door leading from the kitchen which turned out to be a massive larder. They met outside the front door 1 hour later.

"We love this house." Fred, George, Ginny, Harry, Ron and Percy shouted across the garden to Molly and Arthur.

"Good." Mr. And Mrs. Weasley shouted back. "Because it's ours now!"

All the children looked at each other witch wicked faces. They ran into the house and too the nearest fire place. Fred took some flu powder from his pocket and threw it into the flames. In a whizz they were back at the Burrow.
