Chapter 11
Partners in Crime
"Wait…."
"Are you telling us that…?"
"Our brother Ron,"
"Is raping and beating Harry Potter?"
"And, that Harry won't tell anyone…"
"Because he's worried our Mum…"
"Won't love him anymore?"
Neville knew they were upset because they didn't switch speaking so frequently unless they were either upset, or excited. He looked each one of them square in the eyes.
"Yes."
Fred and George looked at each other… obviously having a silent conversation Neville wasn't allowed to be a part of.
George spoke first after taking a deep breath to try to calm himself for the coming conversation. "Okay first off, how could Harry possibly think we won't hear his side of the story… sure our Mum can be rash, but never that terribly with her children… and trust us Harry is one of her children! If that hadn't been cemented before last year it sure is now."
"Harry saving first Ginny and then our Dad… you might as well have given the boy some white wings and a harp in our Mum's eyes he's basically an angel sent from heaven!"
"And even if he thought Mum wouldn't hear him out, there are six other Weasley's,"
"Not including Percy,"
"That Ron would have to convince of Harry's 'wrong doings'."
"So you believe me?" Neville wasn't too shocked, but he was surprised that it didn't take any real convincing.
"Neville…
"We've watched you grow up for five years with our brothers..."
"Never in those five years have you told a lie…" Fred looked at George for a moment as if considering… "Actually you've barely spoken at all."
"And, when you do, it's usually something worth listening to."
"If you say that Harry told you that Ron was beating him and saw the evidence yourself,"
"That's good enough for us."
It was true; Neville couldn't remember the last time he had told a lie. It wasn't his nature. He was very grateful though that the twins knew this about him though. He knew how much the twins joked and pranked, but he had hoped desperately that something involving their brothers would spur them into serious action. He was very grateful it had. He didn't think he could really do this without them. IF he didn't need them to get evidence then he would defiantly need them to help convince Harry and the other Weasley's that something very bad was happening and that they needed to hear it.
"Now… all we need to know is what you might have up your sleeve,"
"And how much trouble your willing to get the three of us in to accomplish this."
Neville smirked just slightly… it did not go unnoticed by the twins who couldn't help but share it as they thought of all the evil things that could brew in a quiet boys head.
They knew this was serious, but they couldn't help but be a little excited about having a good reason to get into some mischief!
Short and stupid chapter is short and stupid!
