The next morning brought it to New Year's Eve day. Ashleigh and George were woken with a start as they heard Fred yell "Bloody hell!" They looked at each other and jumped out of bed. George pulled on a shirt and they opened the door and went to Ginny's room.
"Fred, I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were there", they heard Hermione say. They opened the door and laughed at the site of Fred holding his crotch with a look of agony on his face.
"What the hell are you doing in here anyway?" Ginny asked, trying not to laugh.
"I dunno! I remember falling asleep in my bed and then being woken up getting stomped in the balls!" He yelled. George and Ashleigh started laughing. "It was you two!" Fred yelled.
"Do you have any idea what he's talking about?" George asked Ashleigh.
"Nope, no clue", she laughed.
"What is going on?" Ron and Harry asked coming up to the door. They started laughing at the site of Fred.
"Fred here, seems to have been stomped in the bollocks by Hermione", George laughed.
"How did that happen?" Harry asked, trying to contain his laughter.
"Again, I dunno. I fell asleep in my bed and woke up here when Hermione went to get out of bed, she stomped on the floor, only it wasn't the floor", Fred told them. They all started laughing. "I know it was you two. And I'll get you back", He snarled, pointing at George and Ashleigh. They just kept laughing at his expense. They all headed downstairs and Molly asked what the ruckus was about. They explained and started laughing again, both Molly and Arthur laughed, which caused Fred to get angrier. "You two aren't supposed to laugh at your child's pain", he grumbled, sitting down for breakfast.
"I'm sorry Fred. But it is kinda funny", Molly laughed, Arthur agreeing.
"Some parents you are", Fred mumbled and silently ate his breakfast. George grabbed some ice and handed it to Fred.
"You might need those so you might wanna ice them", he laughed. This caused everyone to laugh at him again.
"George, I will seriously kill you. What has gotten into you, we prank and joke together, now you're against me", Fred mock pouted.
"Sorry bro, I just get good ideas that I need to put into action and you're always at the receiving end", George told him, patting him on the shoulder.
"Whatever", he grumbled and finished eating.
A few hours later and everyone except Molly and Arthur were sitting in the living room. Molly and Arthur had gone to Diagon Alley for a day out away from the chaos. No one blamed them. Ashleigh and George were sitting on the large sofa next to Fred and Hermione. The twins being together in the middle.
"So seriously, how did you end up in our room?" Ginny asked Fred. George and Ashleigh looked at each other and started laughing.
"I knew it was you two", Fred said, glaring daggers at them.
"George levitated him once all three of you were out cold. I made sure you two didn't wake up to ruin our plan", Ashleigh told them. They all laughed and high fived them. When George leaned forward Fred noticed something at the top of his back. "What's that?" He asked George.
"What's what?" George asked, confused.
"On your back".
"I dunno. I don't think I have anything on my back Fred", George said, still genuinely confused. Ashleigh did her best to look confused and normal, hoping Fred would drop it. But George stupidly stood up and lifted up his shirt. Everyone burst into laughter.
"Georgie's back is all scratched up!" Fred yelled. "I wonder why", he added and looked knowingly at Ashleigh. Ashleigh shrunk back into the couch cushions while George looked in the mirror on the wall.
"I seriously have no idea where I got those", George said nonchalantly.
"Yeah, sure you don't", Fred said sarcastically.
"I'm being serious", George said examining the scratches as best as he could. Ashleigh was surprised he was able to keep such a straight face.
"I'll get it out of Ashleigh tonight", Hermione smiled.
"No you won't. There's nothing to tell", Ashleigh told them with a straight face. She was impressed with herself.
"We'll see", Hermione laughed.
"Where'd that hicky come from then?" Fred asked, pointing to Ashleigh's neck. She tried to pull her shirt up but Fred jumped over and pulled it down a bit to show everyone else.
"A hicky doesn't mean we slept together", Ashleigh told him, glaring at George. He smirked at her.
Arthur and Molly arrived home around dinner time, so Molly whipped up a quick meal, which consisted of soup and sandwiches. No one complained. Hermione couldn't wait to corner Ashleigh later on and find out if she was the reason for George's scratches. After dinner, Ashleigh ran up to Ginny's room to hide from Hermione. Unfortunately, Hermione saw her escape and followed her.
"Damn, I didn't think you saw me", Ashleigh sighed when Hermione walked in and closed the door.
"Well I did. Now spill chicky", Hermione said, sitting down on her cot.
"There's nothing to spill, for the millionth time", Ashleigh told her.
"Oh come off it Ashleigh. We know why you pulled that prank on Fred, to get the room to yourselves", Hermione said.
"Yes. But that doesn't mean anything happened", Ashleigh told her.
"That's true. But I know better. And I know the way I looked after and you could tell right away. I can do the same thing", Hermione told her.
"Fine!" Ashleigh finally broke. "Yes. Okay? Yes. Is that what you wanted to hear?"
"Exactly what I wanted to hear", Hermione squealed. "I want details", she said, sitting beside Ashleigh.
"Only if you promise not to tell Fred. Please?" Ashleigh asked.
"Okay, I won't. But I think he'll manage to break George down", Hermione told her.
"Thank you. Now what details?" Ashleigh asked.
"Size? How long? Good or bad?" Hermione rushed out.
"Big in both ways", Ashleigh blushed. "Just over an hour and amazing", she blushed deeper.
"That's longer than Fred and I", Hermione said. "I'm happy that you came out of your shell and got comfortable. But when I gave you that talk, I didn't mean for you to do it now", Hermione told her.
"I know. But last night after levitating Fred we were just gonna lie in bed and sleep but then we were talking and I kinda said he was hot and he returned the favor. Then he kissed my neck and I discovered that was another turn on spot, which I assume is for most people. But I shied away and was absent mindedly drawing circles on his chest and stomach so he said don't be embarrassed about being turned on, because he was too", Ashleigh told her.
"That's funny", Hermione giggled. Ashleigh was happy to have a girlfriend who she could talk to about stuff like this.
Over in Fred and George's room, Fred laughed when George took his shirt off to change and he saw the scratches again.
"You do realize that I know exactly where those came from?" Fred laughed.
"I don't know. So how could you?" George asked, still managing to keep a straight face.
"Oh shut up George. We're not daft" Fred said, flopping down on his bed and started laughing. "Especially, when there's a pair of lacy panties under your bed", Fred burst out laughing and lunged to grab them before George could.
"How do I know that those aren't Hermione's and you planted them there?" George asked, knowing full well that they belonged to Ashleigh.
"They could belong to Hermione. But if her and Ashleigh are sharing panties, that's just weird", Fred continued laughing.
"Okay, enough. Give me those", George said, grabbing them from him. He couldn't handle Fred twirling them on his finger anymore.
"Busted!" He said in a singsong voice.
"Whatever", George rolled his eyes and walked across the hall. He knocked on the door and Hermione answered.
"So I hear you've joined the land of the men", Hermione laughed as she let George in and shut the door. He stopped and looked at Ashleigh.
"Sorry", she said quietly, looking to the floor.
"Not as sorry as I am. Fred found these under my bed", George said holding the panties up.
"Oh my god!" She screamed. Blushing violently she grabbed them from George and put them in with the dirty laundry.
"I guess the cats out of the bag", George said wrapping his arms around Ashleigh.
"Definitely is", Hermione agreed.
