Ginny was used to strange sounds coming from closed doors – having grown up with Fred and George – but the sounds stirred her out of her work when she realized the noises were coming from her youngest son's room.
She calmly climbed the stairs and waited outside Al's door. The sounds of grunting, and pain, and was that an explosion?
"Al, what are you doing?" she asked, trying to keep panic from her voice.
"Beating James for once." Al called back through the closed door.
Ginny opened the door in a rush. James and Al were standing next to each other, holding short, white objects. They were facing the square box Ginny remembered was called the Television.
"What is this?" she asked, less panicked now that they weren't killing each other.
"It's Mortal Kombat."
"On the Wii."
"Dudley gave it to us."
Ginny watched her boys playing together in a setting where they weren't causing physical harm to each other or their sister…
"Yes, well, carry on."
