A/N: Just a reminder that in this story, Angelina and Fred are a couple as well as George and Angelina. This chapter takes place probably a couple days after Oliver proposed. A week at the most.


"I'm not sure about this..."

"It'll be fine, Ali. Trust us." Alicia eyed her boyfriend warily, and he grinned. "Calm down, love. Fred and I have a lot of experience with this kind of thing."

Alicia raised an eyebrow at George while Angelina stated, "That's what worries us."

"Awww. C'mon, Angel." Fred whined.

"Awww. C'mon, Freddie." Angelina teased back.

The four young adults were in the living room of the Burrow. On one couch, Fred was sitting normally while Angelina was turned, back against the arm of the couch, legs resting on her boyfriend's lap. On the love-seat across from Fred and Angelina, George and Alicia both sat at angles with their backs in the corners between the armrest and the back of the seat. Alicia with her knees drawn up almost to her chin, and George with his legs stretched out with his feet on the table. He would occasionally reach out and take Alicia's hand and casually play with her fingers.

George sighed before taking Alicia's hand again and, refusing to meet anyone's eye, he said, "We have to do this."

Alicia nodded. "I know. It's for the best." She looked around the room. "What experience is it that you have?" The twins stared at her blankly. "You said you have experience with this sort of thing. What did you mean?"

"Oh," George started, "that."

"Well," Fred continued, "with a sister like Ginny-"

"What about me?" Fred fell off the couch, nearly bringing Angelina down with him, and spun as best he could to face where he had just been sitting.

"Erm..."

"Hey, Ginny!" Alicia said brightly as Ginny sat down in the spot that had just been vacated. Fred scowled at her before moving to sit in front of Angelina.

"Hey! So why were you lot talking about me?"

"Something about experience."

A dark look crossed Ginny's face. "Excuse me?"

Fred and George both turned red. "Not that way. Bloody hell. Even we're not that perverted." Fred muttered.

"Then what were you saying?" Ginny asked impatiently.

"We have experience in intimidating guys who might hurt our friends because of you." The three girls stared at them blankly so George continued.

"Ginny, you're a popular girl. You had guys chasing you. We're you're big brothers. It's our job to protect you." The youngest Weasley rolled her eyes. "We have experience in scaring off guys who we thought may hurt you."

"In other words, all guys who ever showed even the slightest interest in me with the exception of Harry?" Ginny inquired, sounding somewhere between frustrated and amused.

The twins hesitated. "Well," Fred started, "not exactly..."

Ginny looked confused so George explained, "You got it all in one go except there's never really been an exception..."

Angelina and Alicia burst out laughing. Between fits of laughter, Alicia managed to choke out, "Poor Harry!" Ginny just looked gobsmacked.

"What about me?"

"Harry, old friend, old pal, how are you?" George asked while jumping up and throwing an arm around the younger man's shoulder. It was obvious to the others in the room, with the exceptions of Ron and Hermione who had only heard the same amount of the conversation as Harry, that, if need be, George would use Harry as a shield to protect himself from Ginny.

"Er... I'm good, George." Harry said uncomfortably as he attempted to remove the twin's arm from him.

Ginny stood up quietly and walked over to them. "Harry, why didn't you tell me Fred and George questioned you about me?"

"Well, it wasn't exactly questioning, Gin. It was more of threatening him that if he hurt you we'd..." Ron trailed off realizing that he had just revealed that he too was involved in the terrorizing of Harry Potter.

Hermione smacked her palm to her forehead. "Boys," she murmured before walking over to sit by Alicia who giggled.

"They never get any smarter," Alicia stage whispered to Hermione.

After the two brunettes received scowls from the males in the room, the conversation continued.

"My brothers are idiots. Harry, I'm so sorry. I can't beli-"

"Dad started it."

Ginny stopped. "What?"

"Dad's the one that came to the three of us and told us to have 'the talk' with Harry. Said there shouldn't be any exceptions." Fred paused. "We're still not sure how he knew we'd done the same at Hogwarts..."

"I can't-"

"Believe it?" George finished. "Yeah. Don't worry though. Harry passed with flying colors."

Her brothers all smiled at her charmingly as if that would keep them out of trouble. Ginny opened and closed her mouth a couple times before settling on, "Fine. Just let me know if there's a next time for some reason."

"Deal." Agreed Ron.

Ron, Ginny, Harry, Fred, and George all found a place to sit down and, once they did, everyone stared at each other. "So..." Started Angelina.

"What were you guys talking about that got this whole thing started?" Hermione inquired.

The twins and their girlfriends squirmed a bit. "I- I dunno if we should tell you." Alicia said timidly. Hermione and Ginny looked a bit offended. "It's just... we're not too sure about it ourselves so... to involve a bunch of others that aren't necessarily..." Realizing she wasn't making things any better she trailed off and placed her forehead on her knees.

"We're going to make sure Katie's safe." Alicia's head shot up, and everyone turned to stare at Fred except Angelina who instead of looking just smacked him upside the head. "What?" Fred asked.

"This is none of their business! Katie's our friend and-" Angelina said angrily before she was cut off by Harry.

"She's my friend too! But what are we even protecting her from?"

"No!" Alicia interrupted before anyone could answer. "You don't get it. We... we failed her and now we've got to make it right. You're not a part of this!"

"Yes, we are." Said Ginny determinedly. "We've all been a part of this since right before Oliver proposed. Harry even some time before that as he was the one she went to in order to get an owl to send that damned message to him!" Harry, Ron, and Hermione all instantly figured out exactly what was going on. The twins, Angelina, and Alicia were trying to prevent Oliver from hurting Katie again.

"I want in." Harry said and Ron nodded.

"Same." Said Ginny and Hermione instantaneously.

The four older friends glared at their younger counterparts who glared right back. "This is on us." Alicia spat out.

"Let us help or we'll do it on our own." Ginny replied just as venomously.

They went back to trying to stare the other side down when they were interrupted by a visitor. "Um... what's going on?" No answer. "Um... guys?" Silence. "Helloooo?" The girl resorted to waving her hand in front of Angelina's face.

"What do you want, LeAnne?" Snapped Angelina.

"To know what's going on?" LeAnne replied sounding unsure. Hermione explained through various interruptions from the twins. Once finished, LeAnne looked at them and said, "You're all idiots."

"What?" They asked together.

"We should let both groups make sure that Oliver knows he can't treat Katie like that ever again. You don't have to plan it together or anything. I mean, it'd probably be better not to. You'd have two perspectives then. One from those who were always trying to look after Katie because she's 'the baby' of the group." She nodded towards the older group. "And then those who sort of look up to her, but are still protective because she's still their friend." She inclined her head toward the younger group. "Besides, I was planning on having a go at him just myself. No." She stated firmly. "Don't interrupt." Alicia and Angelina closed their mouths grudgingly. "She's my best friend and I know she's yours too, but it's different for us. Yeah, we're in different houses, but we're the same year. Once you lot all graduated, she wasn't about to dump everything on the younger lot. She's just as protective of them as you are of her." She paused. "Besides, if Oliver thinks that we didn't plan all this together then he ought to be terrified. Three groups of people saying they'll go after him if he hurts her? One of which has the Weasley twins, one that has the Boy-Who-Lived, Chosen-One, or whatever the hell he's being called now, and then me which... I have 4 older brothers who are all horrible so..." There was silence for almost a minute before LeAnne risked asking, "Team?"

"Team." Everyone echoed.


A/N: I'm sorry it took forever to update. There will be two more chapters before this is (finally) completed. I'll hopefully be updating more quickly as I'm going to try to write a bit everyday. I'm not going to bore you with excuses of why it took so long to update, but I really am sorry.

Anyways, I really hope you like this chapter and, if you could review, I will love you forever.
