Charlie returned to the kitchen fully dressed and sat at the table between Ron and Bill.
"Where's Tonks gone?" he asked
"She had to go home" Mrs. Weasley said placing two slices of toast in front of Charlie.
"Oh, why was she here?"
"She needed to borrow some school books off of me" Bill said
"Is she your girlfriend?" Fred asked Bill
"Do you kiss her?" George added and he and Fred laughed together.
"No. She's a year older than me" Bill sneered
"She should be your girlfriend, she's really fun" Ginny said smiling
"Yeah but…" Bill began
"He already has a girlfriend" Charlie finished
"Shut up" Bill hissed and kicked Charlie under the table.
Mrs. Weasley who had been busy peeling apples for the tart she was going to make turned around and looked at Charlie.
"What was that Charlie?"
"Nothing he's…" Bill said but Mrs. Weasley put up her hand to silence him.
"Oh you mean about Bill's girlfriend, yeah they have been going out for about two or three months now" Charlie grinned evilly.
"That's what you get for waking me up early" he added in an undertone to Bill.
Bill glared at him.
"Oh yeah well Charlie is the one that broke the kitchen window last week and blamed it on Ron and Ginny"
"Hey" Ron and Ginny said in disgust looking at Charlie.
"You said you wouldn't tell anybody about that" Charlie said angrily
Bill shrugged. "Slipped out"
"Well every time Bill babysits he brings Ashley over and leaves me and Percy to mind the little kids while he and Ashley spend the night in his room."
"Hey" Bill said
"Slipped out"
"Charlie never goes to his Divination classes"
"Bill uses his prefect privileges to confiscate things off first years so he can have them"
"Charlie helped Hagrid smuggle in an illegal dragon egg and when it hatches he's going to keep it chained up in the forest"
"Bill has a tattoo"
"Charlie…"
"THAT'S ENOUGH" Mrs. Weasley shouted, her face resembled a tomato and her fists were shaking with rage. That was a lot of information to find out about her two sons in five minutes! Bill and Charlie looked at each other nervously.
"Percy can you take Fred, George, Ron and Ginny outside please"
"Ok" Percy said getting up and gesturing to the others to follow him. Once they were outside Percy crept down under the open kitchen window trying his best to hear the argument inside.
"Percy" Ron tugged on his t-shirt.
"What?"
"Can we play a game?"
"Yeah go play with Fred and George"
"No we want to play with you"
"Ok we'll play hide and seek. All of you can go hide and I'll count"
"Ok"
Fred, George, Ron and Ginny all ran off to separate parts of the garden.
"Suckers" Percy muttered and listened closely to what was going on inside.
"And how did you get this tattoo? Don't you need parental consent?" Mrs. Weasley was asking Bill
"The guy said I only needed to have a family member with me" Bill replied
"So who was this family member then?"
"Charlie"
"Charlie? Oh so that makes it ok. Why bother tell your parents when your little brother can go with you"
"You wouldn't have let me"
"Damn right we wouldn't. Show me it"
Percy peered in through the window but Mrs. Weasley was blocking his view of Bill's tattoo.
"What does that mean?"
"It's my name in hieroglyphics"
"Why did you feel that you needed to tattoo your name on your shoulder?"
"Just in case he forgot it" Charlie sneered
"No because it looks cool" Bill snapped
"COOL? You think its cool to be scarred for life?" Mrs. Weasley bellowed. She continued to scold both boys in turn for at least forty minutes. She then grounded them for three weeks each and sent them to their rooms.
Bill and Charlie were both quiet at dinner and then when the others had gone to bed their parents came to talk to them.
"Boys we need to ask you for a big favour" Mr. Weasley said
"One of your fathers good friends passed away and we have to go to the funeral tomorrow, and it will last all day" Mrs. Weasley added
"So were going to need you to babysit"
"All day?" Bill asked
"You have got to be kidding" Charlie said
"We know it's a lot to ask for and it would be your first time looking after everyone for an entire day but we were hoping you would do this for us"
"Fine" both boys groaned
"Thank you boys and Bill your not allowed bring Ashley over, understood?"
"Yeah"
"The funeral begins at nine so we will have to leave here around seven thirty"
"Why so early?"
"We will have to visit the family's house before and then after the funeral there is the burial and then we will spend time with the family so we won't be home until about nine thirty and everyone except Percy should be in bed by that time"
"Ok so we have to like feed them then?" Charlie asked
"Yes, feed them, dress them, bathe them and make sure they don't kill each other"
"And if you do a good job we might even half your punishment"
"Really? Your not just saying that so we'll do well are you?" Bill asked
"No we really mean it"
"Alright" Charlie said
