WWiBL? Chapter 11

As the girls made their way downstairs, Fred and George made their way back up to Ron and Harry. They, knowing that the door to Ginny's room was always cracked, listened in to what the girls were talking about. They figured out the girls had been spying on them after they got yelled at by Percy for being too loud. They got back up to Ron's room and both yelled out, "Ron, have we got some news for you!"

"What?" said Ron looking curious. He wondered if, coming from Fred and George, the news could possibly be good. Usually their news was annoying and/or bad.

"We just got yelled at by Percy..." started Fred but Ron interrupted.

"Yeah, happens a lot to you, doesn't it?" asked Ron. He looked smug all of a sudden.

"That's not all, Ron! We were being quiet and he came out and yelled at us. We figured out the girls had been up here spying on us and they heard Ron saying he liked Lily." At this point Ron's face went a bright red, "Well, we went and listened through the crack in Ginny's door and we heard them having a conversation about what they had heard. Ginny asked if Lily liked you and she said, 'Do you really want to know?' and Hermione and Ginny said, 'Yes,' and Lily said yes! Then we left because they were going to go down to the kitchen," finished George.

Ron looked at him as though he had just told a very bad joke and all the red had receded. "Yeah, right. You're just saying that!" said Ron. A pink tinge returned and Harry knew that he would go red in a second if the conversation persisted.

"We did! Go get some truth potion from Mum if you don't believe us!" George said truthfully. Ron stared at them and, right on cue, went red.

"Did she really yes?" he asked.

"Yeah, she did. Cross my heart and hope to be punished," said Fred. At that moment he and George made an X across their chest.

"Wow, Lily likes you? I didn't think it was possible for her to like somebody," said Harry. Fred, George, and Ron turned to look at Harry.

"She has changed a lot, more than in looks. She doesn't talk as much now. You know she used to help us out with our pranks all the time but so far she has acted like she barely knows any of us. Including you, Harry," said George. The all knew it was the truth. She was acting very strange indeed.

"Well, you know Lily. She'll be back to normal in no time. Just give her time to get used to us again and she'll act like she usually does," said Ron. They knew Lily probably needed time to get used to them again since she had been with Harry at the Dursley's all summer. She always got kind of strange before school started and this year was, obviously, no exception.

"Let's go down and help Mum with dinner. She'll be mad if we don't," said George. Usually they had to help their mother when they had company.

The boys made their way down while the girls were already outside with the forks, spoons, and napkins. They were supposed to be setting the tables but they were watching as the two oldest Weasleys, Bill and Charlie, had a fight in the air with the tables. As Fred, George, Ron, and Harry walked out, Bill's table caught the leg of Charlie's and it fell off. With a crash it fell to the ground and Percy stuck his head out of the window. "Please keep it down," and he went back in without another word.

Bill and Charlie brought their tables down and magically tablecloths flew out of nowhere and Charlie magicked the leg back onto his. The girls set to putting the spoons, forks, and napkins down while Fred and George made their way around with knives and plates.

"This is going to be some dinner," thought Lily. She had already got a crush that she knew liked her back, made friends with the people who were supposed to be her friends, and learned to like her new brother.
