George happily led Alina through the door. She hung onto him, the alcohol coursing threw her, made her stupidly happy. Happy to be out of the house for once, and happy to be talking to someone other than Ruby for a change.
They walked in the back of the joke shop, and George showed her up some stairs, opening a door for Alina.
"Is this your place?"
"No sweetheart, it's a random flat above the shop. No idea who's it is."
Alina laughed, "Oh man... you're funny." She smiled crookedly, and George couldn't help but lean in to kiss her again. This time she grabbed his neck, keeping him there. His hands ran from her hips to her back, holding her close.
George heard a small moan escape from her mouth, and felt a bulge in his pants grow. The kissing grew more fierce as their hands explored each other. George let his hand go where they want, one reaching for her ass, the other up feeling across her chest.
"Uhg. Get a room."
George jerked up, head turning to see Ruby walk in with Fred right behind her, who had a huge grin on his face.
Alina looked outraged, "Shut the hell up!"
Ruby shrugged, "Whatever. Me and Fred will drink the fire-whiskey by ourselves then." Ruby smirked as she backed herself up into Fred, who wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Whoa whoa whoa, you better share."
"Hmm?" Ruby giggled as Fred played with her neck.
"I said YOU BETTER SHARE."
Ruby started laughing at her very loud sister, who also started laughing. The Ruby opened the bottle and took a swig, handing it to Alina, "We need music!"
"Hell yes!" Alina agreed, pulling away from George and grabbing her sister by the wrist, "Time to dance!" Alina twirled, taking Ruby with her, and sipped the bottle.
She missed how George was smiling at her.
"Where's your shitty clock radio?" Ruby asked.
"In my bed room." George said, taking the bottle for a drink for himself.
Alina patted her pockets for her wand, "I got this!" She walked forward, and opened the first door she saw. She even managed to close it behind her, before coming right back out.
"That's a closet, love."
Ruby howled with laughter and fell to the floor.
Alina glared at her, "You could've warned me!"
"I wasn't looking." She giggled, wiping her eye, "I can look for something now."
"Uhhh..." Fred looked down at Ruby, who's eyes were beginning to droop, "Looking?"
"Into the future, silly!" Alina said, as if they should know.
"Yea! Alina goes bye-bye!"
Fred looked at his brother, who was laughing, but showing Alina to his room. Fred grinned and held a hand out to Ruby, "Here, I'll show you my room."
He pulled her up, and she had to lean on him to walk. He opened the door for her, and Ruby entered, taking a deep breath, "Smells nice in here. That's important you know."
"Mmhhmm." Fred agreed, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist. He let small kisses drop from his mouth onto her neck.
She giggled, and turned around to wrap her arms around him, "That tickles..." she mumbled.
Fred let his fingers play along the hem of her jeans, stopping at her button, unsnapping it.
"Oh." Ruby gasped, not quite sure what would happen next. Fred slowly pushed her back, leading her to his bed, setting her down. His hands made their way up her shirt, cupping her breast.
"You know, I'm not really a bitch."
Fred nodded, and pushed her back. He moved on top of her, kissing her shoulder up to her neck, then up to her ear. He reach down and tugged his shirt off, throwing it to the floor.
"I mean, I've- we've, me and Alina have had a rough summer." Ruby continued, "It's just... We're in a new place, and we don't have any family anymore. And it's hard for me to make friends, I just don't like new people." She suddenly gave Fred a huge smile, "But I like you. You are my exception." She brought her hand up to his face, lightly touching it, "You're super funny and nice. I like you, and I am happy."
Fred let out a breath, but not from lust. It was guilt creeping up on him. She was clearly drunk, and clearly not as into this as he was.
He pulled up from her with a gentle smile on his face, "Hey. I know you're not a bitch. You're really funny and sweet too." This made Ruby grin, so he continued, "Are you tired? You can crash here if you want."
Ruby blinked slowly, "Sleep? You didn't want too...?"
Fred shrugged, "You probably wouldn't remember in the morning, so that's just no fun for either of us."
"Do you think I'm really that shit-faced?" Ruby laughed.
Fred smiled and nodded, "A tiny bit, yea, love."
He got off the bed, and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. He thought he could already hear her snoring as he shut his door.
He inched opened his brother's, and peeked in, praying he was not interrupting anything. To his surprise, George was sitting on his bed, pants off, boxers on. Fred stepped in, "Where's Alina?"
"In the bathroom. Getting rid of the alcohol in her system."
Fred grimaced, "That's shitty." He paused for a moment, "Listen... I was thinking..."
"That this can't be right? That even though these girls are all over us, they are drunk, and maybe bedding them just isn't the right thing to do?"
Fred rolled his eyes, "Yea, I mean. Well. Yea, that's what I think. I mean, she seems willing, but Ruby isn't exactly all over me."
George laughed, "I always knew I was better looking than you. Alina can't even control herself."
"I can tell by the sounds from the toilet."
George stopped laughing.
"Ruby is already asleep in my room. Why don't you take Alina in there, and we can bunk together."
George nodded. He made his way to the bathroom when the sounds stopped, and led Alina to Fred's room. Then he, almost grudgingly, went back to his room, and crawled into his own bed. With his own twin.
"On the one hand," Fred started, "I'm really glad Ruby won't hate me in the morning. On the other, Fred Jr. is not happy with me."
"Oh god, Fred, stop talking about your dick and go to sleep."
"Mmm..."
"Hmm..?"
"Mmm..." Ruby groaned, rolling over, "Why are you in my bed..."
"We're not in our bed."
"What?" Ruby shot up, looking around the unfamiliar room, "Wait, where are we?"
"Shut up!" Alina snarled, burrowing her head under the pillow.
Ruby tugged on the pillow, "What happened again? Did we go home with those terror twins?" She poked her sister with a finger, "Why are my pants still on?"
"I have no idea why you would think asking your sister that would be a good idea."
"I distinctly remember Fred being shirtless."
Alina grunted, "Well hot damn for you."
Ruby had a huge grin on her face, "He could've done it, and he didn't."
Alina sat up, "That's exactly what I was hoping for."
"Aww. Poor baby," Ruby crooned sarcastically, "Was too drunk to say yes, and the poor baby didn't get any."
Alina swatted at her twin, "I was not too drunk!"
"Oh right. I forgot you're a huge slut."
Both girls started laughing, which prompted a knock on the door, "Morning ladies."
Alina's breath caught short as George peered past the door, wearing nothing but boxers, and a shirt. His hair was a mess, but could tell they had been up for a bit longer than the girls, judging by the smell of coffee floating in.
Alina rushed, a little too quickly in Ruby's opinion, to give him a hug, "Good morning." She said as she slipped her arms around him.
Ruby rolled her eyes and stood up as well, pushing past the two. Fred was in the kitchen in only boxers, wand out, moving eggs around a pan. He glanced over his shoulder, "Not as good as mum, but it'll do."
Ruby shrugged, dropping down at their dining table.
"Where are the others?" Fred asked, trying to get a conversation started.
Ruby, again, rolled her eyes, "Probably finishing what didn't happen last night."
Fred's eye brows raised, as he poured Ruby and himself a cup of coffee, "Yea, well, about that..."
"Yea, about that." Ruby said as he sat across from her, dropping a plate of eggs, "I..." She paused. She could hear the tone of her voice and tried to keep it neutral, "Appreciate that... you didn't do anything."
Fred nodded, "But I kinda-"
"But you didn't."
"But-"
"Dude, I'm trying to say I like that you didn't, and I like you, ok?" Ruby busied herself with pouring sugar and cream in her coffee, staring down at it.
Before Fred could start again, Alina came out of the room giggling, with a smiling George right behind her. Ruby groaned, gulping her coffee down. George led Alina by hand to the counter and poured them coffee as well.
"How'd ya sleep, Ruby?" George asked, noticing the stale movement in the room.
"Meh."
"Don't mind her," Alina said, waving her sister off, "She's probably moody because she doesn't like new places. Or people. Or things for that matter."
George laughed, "She should've looked into the future, and seen she was staying the night, shouldn't she have?"
Both girls whipped around, "What did you say?"
Fred nodded, "Yea, you told us last night Ruby was a Seer. And Alina... goes bye-bye."
Ruby groaned and let her face fall in her hands, while Alina turned pure white. Ruby shook her head, "Who blabbed!"
Fred pointed at Alina, while George pointed back to Ruby.
"It's not that bad." Fred commented, "Being a Seer is great! But as for bye bye? What does that even mean?"
"I'm not just a Seer. I can see almost everything, and I don't need visions and I don't make prophecies. I see it when ever I want." Ruby folded her arms, staring straight at her twin, "I see all possibilities, and while I can normally judge what will happen with accuracy, peoples choices change, and I cannot foresee free will." Alina stared back, not sure what to do. Ruby glanced at George, then gave a shrug.
Alina let her shoulders shrug, her eyes glowed for one moment, and then she was gone. George dropped the mug he was holding. Alina appeared back with a sullen face. Ruby nodded her head toward the door, ready to make their escape. Even among the magical community, their gifts haven't always been welcomed.
George walked over to Alina, lightly touching her shoulder, "That... is something, huh?"
Ruby stood up, "To be perfectly honest, it's more of a something than you have, so if you're not ok with it, then we'll just leave."
"No!" Both the boys said together. George threw up his hands, "I didn't mean.. I mean.. it's..." He laughed nervously, "I think it's great."
Alina let herself relax, "Really?"
George smiled softly, "Yea, of course."
The mood in the room relaxed, and George accepting her sister let Ruby accept him just a bit more. The girls sat and picked at the eggs, but favoring their coffee, with the conversation moving toward school once again.
"I really do want a kitten." Ruby stated.
"There is a great pet shop right around the corner."
Alina shrugged, "I'm not really down with cats. Or owls."
"You can get a toad." Fred chimed.
Alina gaged, "No way." She nudged Ruby, "Wish they allowed dogs. Remember Dolly?"
"Oh Dolly." Ruby sighed, "She was a good dog. She use to wake us up every day at 8am, on the dot! I swear that dog could tell time." Both girls started laughing.
"Or how she use to always come home with rabbits from the woods?"
George gave a look, so Alina continued, "No, not dead or anything, just live little bunnies. Cuddle them for an hour, then let them go, and hopefully they made it back to their little nest."
Alina downed the rest of her coffee, "We should probably go soon. After being out all night."
"We have floo powder, you are more than welcome to it."
Ruby slumped on the table, "No, I don't want to. Let's stay here."
Fred grinned, "That sounds like a great idea to me!"
Ruby raised an eyebrow, "Sorry to burst your bubble, but anywhere is better than there."
Alina shook her head, "It's not that bad."
"It's horrible, and I hate it, and I never thought I would be happy for a boarding school in my entire life."
"Really that bad?" George asked.
"You have no idea." Ruby whined.
Grudgingly Ruby stoop up, and headed to the fireplace. While Alina was squeezing the life out of George, Ruby gave Fred a hug, and a small kiss on the cheek, "I suppose you aren't so bad."
"I really am, once you get to know me."
Ruby laughed, and took a handful of the powder. "Spinners End!" And was gone in a flash.
"Spinners End?"
"Isn't that where Snape lives?"
"Well, yea." Alina responded, taking some powder herself, "He's our guardian until we're seventeen. Hey, I'll be sure to owl you soon, ok?" She threw the floo powder in, and followed Ruby to home.
