Harry took in a deep breath and smiled happily once he entered the office. Ron was sitting in his desk working and so were Dean and Seamus. "Nice to be healthy again, eh?" he asked and Ron shot him a grin and agreed. They had been sick for just a few days and it had cleared up just in time for them to get ready and recruit new aurors. Ginny entered the room with some paper work in her hands.
"Where's Hermione at?" asked Seamus. "She was suppose to explain the new system to us." Said Seamus as she placed the paper work on his desk. Ginny sighed and pushed a few strands of hair out of her face.
"The twins are still sick so she'll be a bit late until Alex gets back home from her part time job." Answered Ginny. Ron let out a sigh and Harry looked over at his best friend. The twins had been sick the longest and Ron and Hermione had to send Jordan to stay with George and Alicia until they got better. Alex and John volunteered to stay home to help take care of them.
"So, who are we recruiting this year?" Harry asked to break the silence. Ginny looked at the list in her hands and smiled a bit.
"Jessica Thomas, Chris Finnigan, Joshua Potter, Patrick Ward, TJ Wood, and Jonathan Weasley." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione sat silently looking at the twins lying asleep in her bed. She brushed a few strands of red hair out of Mike's sweaty face. They were breathing heavily and both their faces were pink. She smiled a bit and placed a cold wash cloth on both their foreheads before getting up and leaving the room. She stood at the sink working on her tea and didn't hear the person entering the kitchen. "Mum." she jumped and dropped her glass. John used his wand to clean it up.
"What are you doing home so early? I thought you and Chris were going to practice for a Quidditch match." She said. The red head shrugged and smiled a bit down at her. He had grown up to be pretty tall, much like his father, so he towered over his mother much like Ron did.
"Something's were more important I suppose." He said and looked up. "How are they doing anyway?" he asked. Hermione smiled sadly.
"A bit better than three days ago. I'm starting to worry." She answered.
"C'mon mum. They're Weasleys. Real troopers." John informed, trying to cheer her up. She looked up at him before bursting into tears. He stared in shock. It wasn't often he would see his mother cry and it kind of scared him.
"My babies are sick and nothing is helping!" she announced. "No muggle or wizarding method is helping and I don't know what to do." The kitchen door opened and Alex stepped in, dropping her bag on the ground with a sigh. Then when she spotted her crying mother, she ran over to her.
"Mum. what's wrong? Are the twins ok?" she asked.
"I don't know." She answered. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ron looked up from his paper work at a picture sitting on his desk of all his kids. Harry had gotten all of them into doing it, saying that it reminds you not to kill yourself on one of those stressful days, so the basically all had pictures of their wives and kids on their desks. In the picture John was holding the twins in headlocks with Jordan on his back making stupid faces. Alex had an arm around his neck while Hermione leaned against him. They were all grinning like mad, the twins waving. Harry placed a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Don't worry, mate. I'm sure those two will pull out of it soon enough. It even took Lily and James a few days." Said harry. Ron forced a smile, though it was a sad one.
"Thanks mate." He said, then grinned. "I can't believe we're about to train our boys to be aurors." He said and Harry laughed, nodding in agreement. Harry let out a laugh.
"Neither can I. As soon as he graduated, Josh said he was going to be a Quidditch player." Said Harry. "And if I remember correctly, Hermione was ranting not too long ago about John wanting to work with dragons along side Charlie." He asked, raising an eyebrow at his friend. Ron shrugged.
"He told us when he was younger he was getting an adventurous job. I guess he notice becoming an auror will be more work." said Ron. Then he grinned. "When his mother sees that list she's going to have a told break down." Harry laughed and looked at Ron.
"She still seems to be trying to take in the fact her kids are growing up quick, eh?" he asked and Ron nodded.
"Thing is, when John turned twenty, she cried for hours. Then Alex graduated Hogwarts, that's a story all its own." Harry grinned. "And now that the twins are about to start." he shook his head.
"Isn't their birthday right before they start?" asked Harry.
"Yep, August 31st." answered Ron. "But hey, its nothing like how you took to the fact your daughter is getting married." Harry scowled.
"I told you I don't like that boy."
"Wasn't he a Ravenclaw" asked Ron and Harry shrugged.
"I honestly don't care. I don't like him." He answered. Ron rolled his eyes and went back to his paper work. "I wonder what he does for a living anyway." Ron looked up at his friend.
"You know, you're right. Sara's never talked much about that has she?" Harry scowled even more, and was about to say something, but was interrupted when Dean came in.
"Major case, you guys! There's been a break in at Gringotts and there was Death eaters and dark magic involved." He informed and they all got up, grabbing their cloaks and following Dean out. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Alex smiled as her younger brother old her about their strange dreams. Their temperatures had went down, but not enough, and they were still pretty sick. Matt sighed and looked up at his sister. "You know Alex, you don't have to stay here and watch our every move." He informed. Alex raised an eyebrow at her younger brother.
"And why shouldn't I? You two are my younger brothers after all."
"Because we aren't little kids." Answered Mike. "And besides, what's up with everyone?"
"What are you talking about?" asked Alex with a sigh.
"We saw mum crying downstairs earlier." Answered Matt. "We may be young, but we aren't dumb."
"She thinks we're gonna die, but she doesn't have to worry about that." Alex looked at them in confusion.
"What are you two on about?" she asked weakly.
"We aren't afraid of dying Alex." Said Mike, looking at his sister with a serious expression. "Dad told us once that death wasn't anything to be afraid of, and we believe him." Said the Weasley boy. Alex bit down on her lower lip to keep her from crying or yelling at the two boys.
"Dad only told you that because you were young and he thought he was going to die on one of those missions he went on." She informed and looked them over before making them lie down. "Mum says you two need all the rest you can get. so get to sleep, ok." She watched them, and it wasn't long before they fell asleep. They had actually fallen asleep faster than she had ever seen. When she left the room, John was coming up.
"Hey, Al." he said, and she stopped him. "What's up?"
"John. the twins are so sick they think they're going to die." She informed, the tears finally coming. He looked at her in confusion.
"What makes you think that?" she looked up at her brother with a serious expression.
"They just told me. They said they aren't afraid of death and all this other bull." John sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
"You know how those two can be. They pay too close attention to everything around them. They'll be fine." He assured and she nodded.
