Ginny hadn't been scared of the silence for months now. Fred's stories were way too funny even if you just think about them to ever be scared again. So an almost-6-year-old Ginny Weasley was lying in bed on a very silent night not scared at all. She was thinking about King Fred and King George making Mr R Bilius Weasley clean the joke shop palace toilets while getting flower bombed. Ginny was having so much fun thinking about all the story's that she couldn't sleep. She turned over and almost screamed. Ginny quickly whipped her covers over her face.
It's just your imagination. There's no such thing as monsters and if there were they wouldn't come because they're scared of twins.
Ginny peeped out of her covers into her room. It was gone. She sat up and was suddenly too scared to scream. It was at the end of her bed. She jumped out of her bed, sprinted out of the door and burst into the twins room without even knocking.
George was asleep and Fred was sat cross-legged on his bed writing something in a notebook. Ginny assumed that he was thinking of ideas for new pranks.
Fred looked up as she came running in.
"Monsters" she told him
He gave her a 'Seriously Ginny?/Your meant to knock!/Okay I'll come and turn your light on' look as he got up.
"Y-you said they wouldn't come b-back?" she asked
"They probably forgot about me and George being twins... not that they're real" he replied as they walked back to her room.
As they reached the door Fred walked in and turned the light on and Ginny slowly followed him…
"See Gin-Gem" he now called her this whenever she was upset or scared because it was her special name in his story's "no monsters"
Ginny went and sat on her bed. She was almost crying and evidently Fred could tell.
"Hey don't cry. It's just like the time the two very handsome kings of the far-away land of Diagon Alley had to be hero's again when Mr R Bilius Weasley escaped" he said as he sat next to her and gave her a hug "Shall I tell you the story?"
Ginny nodded
(Fred's POV)
Wow. Ginny must have been really scared. As he hugged her he could feel her shaking.
"Well as I just told you, Mr R Bilius Weasley has escaped and was going to try to become the very foolish king again and it was up to me and George to save Diagon Alley. So we left the safety of our joke shop palace to find him. After a very long hard journey of about 2 and a half minutes we came to a very mysterious place. It was a bank called Gingergotts-"
"Fred that's n-not funny. Its spelled G-R-I-N not G-R-E-E-N so it d-doesn't work"
"Yes but Ginger isn't a colour plus you pronounce it 'green' so it's all good"
Ok she was really scared. That would normally make her laugh.
"Is it a h-happy ending? Do you catch Ron?"
"Well if I told you it would ruin it wouldn't it?" he said smiling at her
"Yes but I only want a story with a happy ending"
"Do you really think that a person as awesomely awesome as me would fail at catching Ron?"
"Ok. C-c-carry on"
"Well we went into the bank of course. All the goblins just happened to look a lot like Mr R Bilius Weasley (but that doesn't mean anything. His nose was the same size as Griphookies that's all. And that means abnormally long). All the goblins bowed down to us because we were the kings. But we were too busy being hero's to talk to them. We had to find Ronald. So we searched the hole of Gingergotts. He was nowhere to be scene. But there was one more place we had to look. The roof. There were some steps up to the very extremely high up roof and we were convinced that he was up there. The most handsome of the twins (Me!) was... well... don't you ever repeat these words... scared of heights. But they had to go up there to catch The very foolish ex-king. So they climbed the ladder and sure enough her was up there but he wasn't alone. He was with his partner in crime Percy the idiotic neard-"
Now Ginny giggled.
"-. So me and George had to catch them on the roof! It was really scary but we did it. And then I wasn't scared anymore because it turned out well. We caught them and now Ronald Bilius Weasley the very foolish ex-king cleans the toilets again. But now even better... we have Percy the idiotic neard cleaning toilets to"
"So once you got used to being up high it was ok?" Ginny asked
"Yeah... not that I am scared of heights or anything"
"So it's the same with the dark and silence?"
"Yes. You just need to get used to it" he replied smiling at her
Fred got up and turned the light of.
"Night Ginny-"
"No! Don't go yet"
Fred walked back to the bed and lay daw with her but it was only a matter of minute until she was asleep. He put her cover over her and creped out or her room and into his own.
The next morning (Fred's POV)
Fred was down stairs with George and Percy. Percy was off to work in a minute. His dad was already at work and his mum was out. He and George were babysitting Ginny , who wasn't up yet. Fred thought about the story he had told her last night. He felt like he was missing something.
"Right... I'm leaving now. Please try not to burn the house down"
"We're not that stupid Perce" George said
"OH SH-" Percy glared at Fred "-...UGAR!"
Percy disapperated as Fred jumped off the sofa and sprinted into the garden.
"Ginny!" he shouted looking up at the roof and sure enough she was sat up there looking like she was having the time of her life.
"Hi Fred!" she shouted back "I caught Ron and Percy"
"Ginny come down! NOW!"
How had he been such an idiot! He should have remembered that they had steps from the attic to the roof in the Burrow.
"But it's fun"
"Yes and you've caught them now haven't you. So come down!"
Ginny sighed and got up. George had now come outside to see what all the fuss was about and seemed to be in shock.
Ginny was making her way back to the steps... very quickly.
"Ginny slow down!" Fred shouted
But it seemed that Fred said this a little bit too late. A Ginny was running to the steps she slipped. Fred didn't see exactly what happened but the next thing he knew she was holding on to the edge of the roof screaming for help.
Fred gasped and George just stared open mouthed.
"Hold on Ginny!" Fred said and sprinted back into the house and up the stairs. He climbed into the attic and then up the small ladder that lead to the roof.
Ok just walk and don't look down. Walk and don't look down.
Fred almost fell over and was forced to look down.
Ok so maybe I might have told a little lie about not being scared of heights.
He noticed that George had come to his senses and had also ran full speed into the house.
Ok just walk.
Ginny was still screaming for help.
"I'm coming Ginny hold on"
God. This hero stuff is harder than it sounds Fred thought attempting to make himself laugh but failing.
At this point he could now see Ginny who had seen him and stopped screaming. He got down on his knees and grabbed her hand and pulled her up very easily. She started to cry.
"Hey it's ok" he said and hugged her. He only then realised that this was a bad idea because he was shaking.
George had now appeared on the roof next to them.
"A little faster maybe next time Georgie? "
"Hey don't blame me"
"Ok how about we get off the roof?" Fred said to Ginny
She nodded
About 10 minutes later the three Weasley's were in the living room. George had made Ginny some hot chocolate which she didn't drink. It was left on the coffee table.
"So Ginny what in the name of Merlin's skinny jeans were you doing on the roof?" George asked
"I... I was..." she looked at Fred who couldn't look her in the eye "I was exploreing"
Later that day when Percy came home from work the twins and Ginny were back in the living room again. He walked over right into the coffee table and knocked over Ginny's cold hot chocolate.
"Percy you really are such a idiotic neard" Ginny and Fred said together. They had agreed along with George to keep the 'roof incident' a secret.
xThe Endx
A/N: DON'T CLIMB ROOFS! :P Yeah the hole 'roof incident' wasn't planned until I was like half way through it. Good or bad? Pweeesee review :D
