CHAPTER SEVEN- GOING TO THE PARK
The next morning Bill awoke to find both twins on top of him. "Fred?" He asked, yawning. "George?"
"Morning Bill." They chorused.
"What are you doing?" He asked, sitting up.
"We're hungry but you said not to cook breakfast again." George said.
"Very hungry." Fred added.
"Okay, okay. Breakfast." Bill pushed himself out of bed and somehow managed to get downstairs with both twins holding onto his legs. He made pancakes and they sat at the table, happily eating. Soon Percy appeared. "You feeling okay, Perce?"
"Yes, Amelia fixed me up. And no I won't tell mum. It was an accident anyway." Percy said as he sat down. Bill felt relieved. If his parents found any of this out. yeesh.
"BILLBILLBILLBILLBILLBILLBILL!" Ginny screeched happily. Bill smiled as Ron and Ginny came in.
"I got her out of her crib." Ron said.
"Thank you." Bill put Ginny in her highchair.
"I want pancakes with chocolate chip-"
"No." Everyone (even Ginny) said and Ron sulked.
"Chocolate make Ron demon." Ginny said, licking syrup off her fingers.
"Just one little bite?"
"NO!"
"No what?" Charlie walked in, rubbing his eyes.
"No chocolate for Ron." Ginny said, splattering her hands in the syrup.
"Good." Charlie said, sitting down. "Good idea."
"I feel sorry for him." Bill said, looking at the scowling Ron. "I wonder how long till it stops affecting him like that."
"Chocolate doesn't affect me." Ron said brightly.
"Yes it does." Percy said, sipping his milk.
"So what's on the agenda for today?" Charlie asked.
"Agenda?" Ginny asked him.
"It means what we're going to do." Charlie said, pulling the fork's handle out of her mouth.
"Wanna play with kitty." Ginny said, clapping her hands and getting the syrup on Charlie.
"Ugh." Charlie said, wiping it off.
"Its nice again. Maybe we should go for a walk." Bill said hesitantly.
"WALK! I wango for walk!" Ginny screeched.
"Me, too!" Ron said.
"I think some healthy exercise is adequate." Percy said.
"Percy are you even human?" Charlie asked. "What eight year old says that?"
"Let's go for walk." Fred said.
"Yes I want to go on a walk." George nodded his head furiously.
"Okay, after breakfast." So after they finished and got the kids cleaned up and dressed, the seven went outside.
"I don't need a stroller cause I'm a kid, not a baby." Ron said as Bill put Ginny in her stroller.
"Ten to one I carry him home." Bill muttered in Charlie's ear, who nodded in agreement. The seven set off down the street, saying hello to neighbors.
"Oh no! Cheek-pinchers!" Ron whispered in fear as five old ladies walked towards them.
"What?" Percy asked.
"Ohhhh! Aren't they just the cutest?" The ladies surrounded everyone but Bill and Charlie, rumpling their hair and pinching their cheeks.
"Look at the red hair oh that is so cute!"
"And the freckles! Oh I could just eat you up!" Bill and Charlie looked at each other in horror.
"Remember when that happened to us?" Charlie asked.
"Yep. I wouldn't mind females flocking about me as long as they're my age." Bill said with a grin.
"I'm beginning to feel that way, too." Charlie said quietly. Finally the old ladies left, leaving extremely miserable Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny.
"My cheeks hurt." Fred whimpered, rubbing his cheeks.
"Let's just keep going. Let's go to the park in town." Bill suggested. Soon they arrived. The twins and Ron began happily playing on the playground equipment, while Ginny played in the sand. Percy, ofcourse, brought a book to read.
"Baby-sitting?" Bill looked up as a Muggle girl (a pretty one) his age appeared.
"In charge of my brothers and sister for a while." He said.
"Oh. I'm baby-sitting my neighbors kids." She pointed at a seven year old on the swing set, and a five year old on the slide.
"At least you'll get paid." Bill joked and she smiled.
"I've only seen you around here a few times before."
"I live in the country." Bill said with a shrug.
"What school do you go to?" She asked, sitting on the bench by him.
"Oh, uh, Boarding School. It's the holidays."
"Right. I just go to the local school." The girl crinkled her nose up. "Its not that good. I'd love to go to a Boarding School and get a great education. I'm Sarah Brahms."
"Bill Weasley." Bill said, shaking her hand.
"I've heard about you guys. The Weasleys. They say-" Sarah stopped.
"What do they say?" Bill asked.
"Odd stuff happens around you guys." She said quietly.
"It does." Bill said, shaking his head.
"You should see that one after eating some chocolate." Bill said, pointing to Ron who was about to dump sand on Ginny's. head? Wait a minute! "RON!"
"It wasn't me!" Ron shrieked, dropping the bucket on Ginny's head who began wailing. Bill went over and picked her up, brushed the sand off and brought her over.
"This is my sister Ginny." Bill said, sitting down.
"She's cute." Sarah said.
"I think you're cute." Bill said and Sarah blushed.
"Thanks. I-"
"KITTY!" Ginny shrieked as a cat walked by.
"Ginny, don't squirm. Ginny... stop! Ginny!" Bill yelped as she wiggled out of his lap and chased the cat. "Be right back." Bill ran after Ginny and picked her up.
"Don't want Bill! Want the kitty!" Ginny screamed, flailing her arms and legs.
"Ginny, shh." Bill insisted and turned to see, oh horror of horrors, some kid giving out chocolate to his friends and Ron had joined the small crowd. Luckily Bill got him just in time.
"I want chocolate!" Ron wailed, flailing his arms and legs. Bill looked at the two kids in his arms and sighed. Oh well. He's been through worse the past couple of-
"BILL! BILL! GEORGE BROKE! GEORGE BROKE!" Fred yelled. Bill looked over and saw George had fallen off the jungle gym and hit his face. His mouth was bleeding pretty badly, and he was crying. Bill went over and saw a tooth had been knocked out. "See? George is broken. He's falling apart." Fred said, pointing to the tooth.
"George, I-"
"BILL!" Percy ran over looking enraged. "Some kid stole the book I was reading!" He pointed to a bunch of kids.
"Okay I'll get your book back. Where's Charlie?"
"I don't know." Percy said diligently. Bill put Ron and Ginny in Percy's arms and went to retrieve the book. After he got that, he turned and saw Fred ramming himself into the jungle gym.
"What are you doing?!" Bill yelled, making a beeline for him.
"I want my mouth to break, too." Fred said.
"It hurts, Billllll!" George whined.
"Okay definitely time to go home."
"NO WANT GO HOME!" Ginny screamed.
"Yes, home." Bill somehow managed to put her struggling body into her stroller and turned to get Ron. But he had once more disappeared. 'Please don't find any chocolate!' Bill begged in his head as he searched for Ron. He found him by the brook, giving flowers to a little girl and kissing her cheek. "He's taking after me." Bill said to Charlie. The girl pushed Ron into the brook.
"Oh yeah does he take after you." Charlie said, laughing hard. Bill scowled and fished Ron out.
"We're going home."
"But the girl!" Ron whined.
"You're a little too young to start dating, Ronniekins." Bill said.
"Dating? EW! NO! I just wanted her chocolate bar." Ron said. Bill rolled his eyes and went back to the others.
"Everyone here?" Bill asked, counting the heads. The twins were missing.
"Twins there." Ginny pointing her finger, and saw the twins fighting with some kid. Bill got them separated and counted heads again.
"Everyone here, let's go."
"Piggy-back ride, Bill." Ron said so Bill hefted him onto his back and carried him and pushed the stroller, while Charlie held the twins' hands and Percy read.
"Hey Bill." Sarah ran up to him.
"Yes?" Bill asked, setting Ron on the ground.
"When'll you come back to the park?"
Bill smiled. "I might. I-" He looked at Ron who was giggling. "What?"
"It tickles."
"What tickles?"
"There's a frog in my pants." Ron said.
"Well get it out!" Bill said.
"It might bite me."
"Frogs don't, and can't bite." Percy said, shaking his head. "For self- defense they secrete a poison on their skin and-"
"POISON!?" Ron screamed and began crying. "I'm poisoned! I'm poisoned!" He began running in circles.
"Ron, stand still." Bill made a grab for him but missed.
"Help me!" Ron cried and ran into a tree, knocking himself out.
"You know what, I think it might be a while before we come back." Bill said, picking Ron up. Sarah just raised her eyebrows, turned and walked away. Bill sighed and shook the frog out of Ron's pants. It turned out to be a clump of grass and mud.
The next morning Bill awoke to find both twins on top of him. "Fred?" He asked, yawning. "George?"
"Morning Bill." They chorused.
"What are you doing?" He asked, sitting up.
