I really should have put this at the beginning, but here it goes.
the characters and stories belong completely and wholly to the wonderful jk Rowling, I've just let them out of the box for a bit :)
this is my first attempt at writing Fanfiction and would really really appreciate some feedback! So please review if you like it, review if you hate it or review just to say you were here!
and on with the story
George Weasley leant back in his chair holding his sides laughing as the boy in front of him recounted the prank that he had pulled on his older sister.
"Honestly uncle George, you should have seen the look on mums face when it started to sing! It was hilarious!" Hugo giggled. "Although I now have to spend the weekend with grandad organising his plug collection, I bet it'll take hours..." He sighed turning morose
George wiped the tears from his eyes and asked
"What about the glitter? Was there enough?
"Enough? I overheard mum telling Dad that she had to scourgify Rose's sheets three times! I don't think she enjoyed that though the blue sparks were in her hair at that point even dad looked scared and he's really brave!" Hugo said his voice rising as his enthusiasm returned.
"Your dad? Brave? Watch this!" Laughed George "Ron can you come here a minute I need your help?"
"George, I'm really busy out front what is it?" Asked Ron looking harrangued
"Can you just pass me the bucket over there I can't leave this" George said pointing at a cauldron with its glass stirrer turning clockwise at a furious pace.
Ron turned to the bucket scowling as he went muttering something about lazy brothers when suddenly he let out a girlish high pitched scream "spi...spi...spi...SPIDER!" Ron yelped as a large brown spider came tap dancing towards him. Ron ran backwards at an alarming rate his eyes fixed on the prancing spider what Ron didn't realise though was that he was careering towards the bubbling cauldron.
"Watch out dad" Hugo shouted as Ron knocked over the cauldron the contents of which landed all over his work robes.
Slowly the robes which Ron was wearing began to change colour, it started at the edge with a deep purple fading into the most garish shade of pink Hugo had ever seen. George vanished the spider and turned to face his brother. The sight before him had George struggling to contain his laugh, he noticed Hugo with his hand clamped over his mouth as if it would be enough to keep the laughter from escaping, it didn't work Hugo's laughter pealed out across the room causing George to start guffawing aswell.
Ron looked down at the now ruined robes at then glared at his brother. "Change. Them. Back" Ron said menacingly. Ron whipped round and looked at his son with such ferocity that the boy stopped tittering as abruptly as if someone had cast a langlock curse on him.
Ron heard George speak up. "No can do oh brother of mine, it'll wear off in time although that shade does suit you? Maybe we should consider changing the work robes to this?"
Ron turned to advance on his brother his face and ears turning as pink as his robes when he suddenly heard a little voice pipe up.
"I'm sorry dad, I'll help you in the shop. I'll stack the shelves and you can stay behind the till that way you can hide the robes"
Ron turned to look at his son who was looking bashful and slightly afraid. Ron looked down at the robes and sighed. "Come on then, what do you reckon your mum will think of them?"
"She'll hate them" smiled Hugo
"Well all the more reason to wear them" smirked Ron
Ron took his sons hand and walked through the double doors leading into the shop. George watched as his brother and his nephew walked away hand in hand chattering to each other about all the things that Hermione hated.
George whispered to himself "oh Freddie I wish you could meet Hugo, he would make you so proud"
George smiled sadly and turned to clear up the rest of the spilt potion.
