Weasley's Wizard Wheezes (takes place on 08/26/2016)

DISCLAIMER: The story you are about to read is based on the works and websites of J.K. Rowling. She can claim everything except my plot. Enjoy!

Molly guided her charges down Diagon Alley to the unmistakable storefront housing her sons' joke shop. The main entrance to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes was jammed with customers getting in and out of the highly popular shop. Molly was grateful that the twins had made a family entrance that only members of the extended family could see or enter. She glided past the wards and opened the door, opening the door for her grandchildren in, following close behind, and starting to get her bearings amid the crowd. She was in a daze, and she was NEVER in a daze. Ginny had spotted her oldest son, James come through the portal, and walked over to see her children and mother.

"Mum!" All three kids cried as they saw Ginny.

"Children, it's great to see you! Are you finished shopping?" She wrapped her two boys in hugs and kissed Lily on the cheek.

"Ginny dear, I thought you would be at work."

"I was, Mum, but I turned in my copy early on the Sweden VS. Peru match, and came here to help out. I knew you had things under control."

"And so I did, didn't I Lily?" Molly looked at her granddaughter who blushed a little, remembering the kittens that had fallen asleep in the shopping bag.

"Okay you three, here are some canary cremes. Go to the play room, please. It's busy, and I don't want you to get trampled or shoved out the door by accident." Ginny pointed to the room that had been constructed when the first Weasley grandchildren started to walk. It had become so popular that there were two full time attendants, and shoppers could get half an hour free for every 5 galleons they spent at the store. Lily ran ahead, but James and Albus protested.

"Mum, I need things for school!" James explained and Albus backed him up.

"It would be pretty sad for us to not have any WWW products!"

"I know for a fact that your uncles have school bundles for all of you kids. They will be slipped to you in Flourish and Botts bags at the station, and you each will have a new product to test and report back on, in addition to the usual favorites." Ginny explained, appeasing her sons, and directing them to the teen lounge. "Now, I need to work! Grandmamma will come get you in a few minutes, and Dad and I will see you at home. I love you all!" Ginny blew kisses, to the embarrassment of James, and the relief of Albus, who was still a little shaken from Ollivanders.

"Thank you, Mum. I really owe you. As usual!" Ginny exclaimed as she was bumped into from behind as three first year boys ran past. Then she realized that Mrs. Weasley was not herself. "Is everything okay?" Ginny quickly asked, getting straight to the point in her typical manner.

"Well, dear, everything is okay for now," Mrs. Weasley hedged, squeezing against the display stand so a preoccupied fourth year girl could get to the Wonder Witch products. Molly noted for not the first time that her daughter was giving her the same demanding look that she herself had perfected nearly fourty years ago. It was still uncanny to have a little mini-me around at times! She went on "Albus had quite an experience at Ollivander's. You should ask him about it as soon as you and Harry have a quiet moment. It will be good for him and for you to hear his account first hand, as I don't think he has fully digested the experience. After you three have talked, send Osa over and we can set up a time to meet with your father and the Longbottoms."

"What have Neville and Hannah got to do with Albus' wand?" Ginny queried, quietly asking Merlin if life would ever be "normal" and absentmindedly preventing a box of Extendable Ears from toppling over from some unseen disturbance.

"It's not Neville or Hannah, it's Alexandria," Molly replied. "But talk to Albus first. I want to know what he says as much as you should. There really is no rush or immediate danger –

"Danger!? Mother! All you were supposed to do this afternoon was pick up some school supplies!"

"Which reminds me, we still need to go to Flourish and Blotts."

"Back to this 'Danger' issue…" Ginny corrected.

"It's not immediate, Dear. Talk to Albus." Mrs. Weasley gathered up a Pygmy Puff that had gotten loose. "When you have, we can all have a cup of tea and figure things out. I promise it will be okay. Besides, we can't figure out anything here – it's chaos! Oh, and this Puff reminds me! You DO have something more pressing than Albus' wands to think about. Lily Luna saw to that." Molly handed Ginny the shopping bag and indicated the younger witch should look inside. Curled up at the bottom of the bag amid packages of every shape and size were Lumos and Nox; a little furry ying-yang of black and white.

"Oh, Mother…"
