The next day, as the the warm sunlight slowly washed Ron's tiny room in light shades of yellow, Harry
groggily opened his eyes to see a fully dressed Fred and George push open the door to the room as quietly as
they could, and sneak in on tiptoe, carefully avoiding the creaky floorboards.
Harry rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed.
" What are you doing in here?" asked Harry drowsily.
This seemed to startle the twins and both of them whirled around to face Harry.
"Sssshhh! Not so loud, Harry!" whispered Fred urgently, as he crept closer to the foot of Harry's bed, so that
Harry could hear what he was saying.
" We're going to try our new potion on Ron," explained Fred, while George brandished a small vial whose
contents seemed to be frothing pink inside.
Harry raised an eyebrow as he saw the strange looking potion.
"What's it supposed to do?"
"We don't know yet....although we're sure its going to do something." answered Fred dismissively, obviously
not at all worried by the fact that one drop of the potion on Ron could possibly make his ears shrivel up, or
face turn orange, or who knows what.
Harry turned his head to Ron's bed, where Ron was sleeping blissfully, occasionally muttering things like,
"...no...not wonky-faint....its...wronsky-feint..." or,
"....the goblin rebellion...was...instigated by...Neville...Longbottom.....".
Harry couldn't help feeling sorry for his best friend as he watched, while Fred and George cautiously
walked up to Ron's bed side and uncorked the small vial. The frothy pink liquid wizzed and bubbled at once,
and Harry saw George tip over two drops of the potion over Ron's fiery red hair. Nothing happened at first,
which made the twins look very much put out, when all of a sudden Ron's hair suddenly started to grow right
in front of their eyes, and not only did it grow long, it was now a rich shade of electric blue.
The twins couldn't contain their laughter anymore, and fell to the floor laughing hysterically.
Ron woke up with a start, only to find his brothers rolling around on the floor clutching their stomachs, while
his best friend was snickering on the other side of the room.
"Whats going on?" he asked, and when he didn't get an answer,
Ron instinctively ran his hand through his hair, and to his horror, found that his hair went down to the back
of his head far more than he was used to.Ron scrambled to the mirror, and at once let out a strangled cry,
" Ahhh! What did you do to me?? My- my...hair!! Its blue! and its long! "
Fred and George were wheezing on the floor for air from laughing so hard, and didn't seem to notice that
their younger brother was on the verge of a nervous breakdown at the sight of his reflection in the mirror.
Harry got up and walked over to Ron (carefully trying not to step on the twins), and said with the most serious
expression and tone of voice that he could muster,
" It really doesn't look that bad....".
*A few haircuts and incantations later*
"Oh stop fussing, Ron." said Hermione, "You'll just have to wait it out. See, the color's already starting to fade!"
"Yeah, but my hair's still long...and mum's already tried cutting it..but it just keeps on growing ! I don't believe
this, I look like-like, some sort of outlaw !" said Ron warily.
At that moment, Ginny came in, and flopped down beside Hermione.
"Well, actually you do look kind of good with long hair..." said Ginny, teasingly. Ron rolled his eyes at his
sister,but Ginny ignored him, and continued,
"Well, don't you think so, Hermione?" said Ginny, nudging Hermione in the side.
Hermione turned a light shade of pink, but managed to mumble,
"...er..I guess so."
"Anyway, mum, says, Aunt Rebecca and Emily will be here any minute now..."
"Oh, perfect. Now she'll think I'm some kind of delinquent or something." moaned Ron.
"Don't worry, we'll just explain to her everything that happened this morning." encouraged Harry.
A few minutes later, Harry looked up from his conversation with Ron, just in time to see the fire in the kitchen
fireplace rise, and turn green. Then they watched as Mrs.Weasley swish passed them, muttering,
"Their here, their here!".
As they watched the emerald green flames die down, they saw a dainty woman in light blue robes
with brownish hair walk into the kitchen through the flames.
She had a healthy looking baby, who was gigling and smiling one of those playful baby smiles at
Mrs.Weasley,in her arms.
"Rebecca! Its so nice to see you! Come in, come in." squealed Mrs.Weasley with delight,
"Its nice to see you too! How have you been? Oh, its been so long since I've been to the Burrow! Where's
Arthur, and the children? I can't wait to see them!" gushed Aunt Rebecca.
"The children? Why, Ronald and Ginny are in the living room with their friends, and the twins are outside."
said Mrs.Weasley. She opened the window and called out to Fred and George,
"Your Aunt Rebecca is here! Hurry up and come inside!"
Then she led Rebecca to the living room, where Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were sitting,
"Rebecca, you remember Ronald. He was still a baby, when you last visited-"
" Yes, I remember Ron. You've grown up to be quite a handsome young man now, I see." said Aunt Rebecca,
eyeing Ron's hair, whose color and length had decreased noticeably. She gave him a warm smile, which
made Ron brighten up up a little.
"Ah..and you must be Ginny! My, you look pretty! " said Aunt Rebecca beaming at Ginny. Ginny smiled back
at her Aunt. Just then the back door was heard slamming shut, and Fred and George came marching in, not
bothering to brush off the flecks of dirt they had on their clothes, which they got from degnoming the garden
since that morning.
" Aunt Rebecca!" they chorused, bowing in front of her.
The cuddly baby in Aunt Rebecca's arms giggled even more, and grinned a lopsided baby grin at the twins
antics.
" Ah, if it isn't you two mischief makers...Now, tell me. Which poor fellow has had the honor of being your
latest victim?"
The twins grinned at their Aunt, while Mrs.Weasley gave them a disapproving look.
" And, Rebecca, these are Ronald's friends from Hogwarts. Their staying with us for the summer, until school
starts." continued Mrs.Weasley, motioning towards Harry and Hermione.
" I'm Hermione Granger..Its nice to finally meet you." said Hermione politely.
" And I'm Harry...Potter." Harry wasn't sure how Aunt Rebecca would react so he purposely said his last name
quietly, and it seemed to work as Aunt Rebecca didn't act surprised at all, but instead gave him and Hermione
a very friendly smile.
" All of you look wonderful! Its such a nice thing to be back here.But ,before anything else, I'd like you
to meet your cousin."
She shifted the baby, who was aimlessly waving its hand at everyone,in her arms and said,
" Ron, Ginny, Fred and George. This is your cousin Emily."
