I suddenly had this inspiration for a fic based on the scene in goblet of fire, when harry was hoisted onto the twin's shoulders. eh, but it didn't turn out well.

but here goes!

Disclaimer- i own nothing

Happy christmas

Harry was lifted onto their shoulders easily as he hoisted the golden egg above the heads of his many adoring fans. Two red headed men grinned up at him, identical faces set in the same cheery laugh.

"Go on Harry! Open it!" one of them yelled.

"Yea Harry- what's the clue?"

Harry opened it and was immediately dropped when a piercing shriek echoed round the room. Everyone grabbed their ears in agony.

"Close it Harry!"

"Merlin, I feel like my ears have dropped off!"

The next time anyone attempted to lift Harry onto their shoulders was four years later. Harry couldn't get comfortable, the two men that had lifted him this time were different heights- the younger of the two, definitely outgrowing his older brother. Harry slid onto George's shoulder with a small yelp.

"Ron!" he complained. "This isn't going to work! You're too bloody tall!"

"Yea, you're probably right," Ron grumbled. "It would have been easier if Fred were here."

Harry knew he regretted his words as soon as he had said them. George's face had gone white, his hands shaking.

Ron mumbled something about being hungry, and scrambled out of the room as quickly as possible, leaving the two remaining men to sort things out.

"I knew we shouldn't have tried that," mumbled George, staring decisively at his feet. "Shoulda' known it wouldn't work without Fred."

Harry wasn't quite sure of what to say, so he just put a hand on George's shoulder and smiled reassuringly. "Try growing a few inches," he joked after a moment. "Then it might work!"

George laughed and ruffled Harry's hair.

"God, you're one to talk," he joked. "You bloody midget!"

The two men left the room and went downstairs for dinner- but Harry could have sworn George's hand went up to the gaping hole where his left ear once was.

"Merlin, I feel like my ears have dropped off!"

"Knowing you, it probably wouldn't have made any difference- you don't pay attention anyway!"

"Shuddup Fred- You're the one who dropped Harry!"

"maybe our SHOULDERS are too alike. Maybe that's why?"

"Yea sure…whatever you say Fred."

Ok, so it's not my best. in fact, it's pretty crap...but please review!
