Matt leaned over his twin and stared at him hard as he slept. It was extremely annoying to have some one looking down at you like this at any time of the day, and Mike always seemed to have a sixth sense about these things. The boy frowned in his sleep and rolled over. Matt shoved him. "Wake up! It's our birthday!" he announced.
"I don't care! I'm sleepy!" the boy announced. With Ron always out and John with him and Alex playing nurse, not to mention Jordan having to do his Hogwarts work and Hermione always having work to do, the twins figured a birthday was the last thing on any ones mind.
"Come on, Mike. We're eleven and we'll be starting Hogwarts tomorrow. What would mum and dad think if we weren't acting our age?" Mike lifted his head and looked his twin in the face, his hair standing on end.
"Matt, we haven't acted our age since we were five. Why start now?" Matt sat back down and shrugged.
"I just thought that would get you out of bed, that's all." He confessed. Mike scowled and lay back down.
"And besides, I bet you anything they're all gone and Janet is down stairs babysitting us yet again." He said bitterly. Matt got onto his knees.
"Then maybe she'll do something for our birthday then." Matt pressed on. Mike sat up and glared at his twin. "C'mon Mike! Birthday presents!" he announced desperately.
"Yeah, you're right about that. Lets go!" Matt grinned and they ran out their room and instead of to their parents' room, down to the kitchen, but didn't make it far before John grabbed them both and held hen under his arms.
"What do you two think you're doing up so early?" he asked.
"Nothing that involves you." Answered Mike. John chuckled.
"You two really think you can scare someone, don't you? When I was your age, I wasn't nearly as tiny as you twerps." The twins scowled.
"Let us go before I tell mum." Ordered Matt. John snorted and dropped the twins to the ground. They both scowled as they got up.
"You're such a swot, Matt." Muttered John and went into the kitchen. The twins followed, but their parents weren't there. Mike shook his head.
"What did I tell you?" muttered Mike. Matt looked at the ground sadly.
"Well I figured a woman that went through 25 hours of child birth would have remembered a day like this." Matt informed his twin. There was a knock on the kitchen door and John opened it. Ron came stumbling in with packages in his arms, followed by Fred, George, Harry, and Percy.
"Sorry we're late. Had to make a quick stop to Diagon Alley." Said Ron and stopped when he noticed the twins were looking at him intently.
"What's up with the packages dad?" asked Mike, reaching for one of them, but George pulled it away.
"Sorry kid. No peaking." He said brightly. The boys frowned a bit. Hermione entered with a box in her arms and smiled at he sight of her youngest boys.
"Morning boys." She said, placing the box on the counter and going to kiss them on the cheek.
"What's that, mum?" asked Matt, rubbing the cheek she had kissed. Hermione looked over her shoulder at the box and shrugged.
"Something for later. now why don't you boys go upstairs and wash and dress. We've got guest."
"They're family, though. They should be use to seeing us in night clothes." Hermione gave them sharp looks and they sighed, going up to their room.
"You'd think she could be a LITTLE nicer to us on our birthday." Said Matt and Mike rolled his eyes. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione had just made her way up to the twins' room when the door opened. She smiled at them as they pulled their robes on, looking as identical as ever. Unlike their older siblings, they resembled Ron the most. possibly more than John. "Why so sour looking?" She asked.
"No reason." Answered Matt casually. Hermione crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at them.
"You don't really think you can keep secrets from me, do you?" the twins looked up at her and shrugged.
"If dad has, we probably can." Said Mike. Hermione had to admit, the boys' personalities were so much like Ron's, it was scary. She smiled and kissed both their cheeks, causing them to scowl and wipe it off.
"That's disgusting, mum!" announced Matt. "We're not babies anymore, you know!" She rolled her eyes.
"Come on now. We can't sit here all day when we have family that won't be seeing you until Christmas after tomorrow." She looked over her shoulder as the boys followed her down the stairs, whispering to each other. She stopped outside the door and crossed her arms. They looked at her expectantly, but she just smiled.
"What's going on?" asked Matt. Hermione cocked an eyebrow at him.
"I dunno what you're talking about. I just wanted to see how you two looked before presenting you to people." She teased. The boys smiled a bit, but rolled their eyes.
"What ever you say mum. They went into the kitchen and everyone yelled surprised. There was a flash when Mrs. Weasley took a picture of the two shocked boys. Hermione was about to enter the kitchen when someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her close. She grinned when she noticed it was Ron.
"I thought you were going to be in the kitchen celebrating the 11th birthday of our two boys." She informed. Ron grinned and kissed the side of her neck.
"I just wanted to make sure we still have plans for later on, that's all." He said. Hermione pulled away from him and turned around, kissing the tip of his nose.
"Looking forward to it." She said, and entered the kitchen, where Angelina was crushing them both into a hug and Lily and James were having Kevin help them get the cake. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
John yawned and picked up Matt and Mike, carrying them up the stairs to their room. They had fallen asleep a while after the party had actually ended, but of course family was still over. He struggled to drop them gently on their beds when someone came up and took Mike out of his arms. "I thought you might need my help." John looked over his shoulder and smiled at his girlfriend.
"You know Janet, my mum would go mental if she caught us up here together." He informed, a small smirk playing across his lips. She rolled her eyes as she placed Mike into bed and pulled his robes and jeans off before covering him.
"You make it sound as if I'm up here with you in your room." She informed. John went up and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her shoulder.
"That could be arranged you know." He whispered in her ear. He could tell she was blushing as she went on to take care of Matt.
"You're a prat." She muttered. John grinned and was about to say something, but was interrupted.
"I could have told you that." Alex was standing in the room door way with her arms crossed and an eyebrow raised at her older brother and his girlfriend. She moved over and rolled Matt onto his stomach. "He sleeps better this way. And mum wants you BOTH down stairs now." She added, looking her brother up and down. Janet nodded and left. John was about to when Alex grabbed his arm.
"What?" he asked.
"You really shouldn't be playing these games if you don't plan on being serious and getting married." She informed. John rolled his eyes.
"Janet IS serious." He informed.
"Yeah, that's what you said about that Megan girl." Alex muttered and left the room. When they went back into the living room, the adults were talking about the twins starting their first year.
"They're Weasleys you guys. They'll instantly fit in.," said George knowingly. "We always do."
"The twins aren't like you and Fred were." Alicia reminded.
"OY! What was wrong with the way we were?" asked Fred.
"You play too much." Answered Angelina and they all laughed. Fred grinned and kissed her cheek.
"You act as if you didn't like that about me." He said with a grin. Angelina smiled and shoved him. She turned to Hermione with a grin.
"Don't worry Hermione, they'll do just fine." she said.
"That's right. They'll fit in just like they're at home."
