But this was going too far.
Look up at the twins through her green eyelashes, which clashed horribly with her now Chudley Cannon orange hair, she fingered the poke-dotted nightgown she was now dressed in and contemplated homicide.
"Aren't they great?" Fred asked her through his chuckles.
George slung an arm around his brother. "We call em Clown Cadoodles. We can't seem to get the formula for a red nose though."
"Fred… George..." The twins froze at the sound of repressed fury in their sister's voice. "Would you remind me as to when, exactly, I said you could tackle me and force a cookie down my throat?"
The boys simply stared nervously at her.
"Please, after all I would hate to forget such an important event."
Their eyes franticly darted around the kitchen, finally realizing using the corner to hold themselves up during their laughter hadn't been the best idea.
Ginny reached behind her for the frying pan drying on the counter and brought it up for the twins to see. Fred put his hands up in an 'I surrender' pose.
"Now Ginny-"
"Dear baby sister-"
"Can't you see it was-"
"Just a bit of fun?"
"A bit of fun?" She could feel her left eye twitching. She raised the frying pan threateningly and watched as two fully-fledged wizards nearly wet themselves.
Five minutes later a shout was heard from the kitchen. Ginny smiled from her position on the couch.
"Fred! George! Get up this instant! What are you doing? Sleeping in the kitchen like this!"
"Sleeping!?" Fred's indignant shout made her grin widen further.
"We weren't sleeping woman! That hellion daughter of yours smacked us with a frying pan!"
FWAK!
"George Weasley! I won't have that kind of language in this house! Out! Go help Ron and Hermione with their trunks! We leave for King's Cross in an hour!"
The twins gave the grinning redhead on the couch dirty looks as they headed for stairs. But she couldn't resist one last shot.
"Look at it this way boys, now everyone can tell you apart. George has the pan size bruise and Fred has the giant lump."
They grumbled and stomped away as she collapsed in giggles. she looked down at her outfit as it faded back into the knee length black skirt and white blouse she had been wearing. Lifting up a lock of hair she was pleased to note that her hair was red again.
Humming merrily she bounced up the stairs to get her school trunk, she wondered what her mother would think if she sent the twins a Hogwarts toilet seat…
The Hogwarts Express was bustling with activity, first years gave their parent's tearful good-byes, older students loudly reunited with their housemates, muggleborns were walking this way and that in the familiar 'you mean magic is real?' daze.
"Now Ginny dear, I want you to be careful. Don't go wandering after hours or following your brother into trouble."
"Mum! I'll be fine!"
"Of course you will dear. And Ron, take care of your sister and stay out of trouble! I am long overdue for a heart attack free summer."
Ginny tuned out as her brother vowed to behave himself. She ran her eyes over the crowd and smiled brightly when she caught sight of a familiar head of messy black hair.
"Harry! Over here!"
He turned and grinned before starting their way. She chuckled lightly as Hermione tackled him and Ron slapped him on the back at the same time, causing him to teeter unsteadily on his feet.
She still had a large smile on her face when the trio came walking back.
"Hello Harry."
"Hey Ginny, good summer?"
"Fair enough."
Ron snorted, "You shoulda seen what she did to Fred 'n George! Smacked 'em with a bloody frying pan!"
The train whistle blew at that moment, drowning out Harry's reply. The group loudly made their way to one of the entrances, laughing and reminiscing the whole way to Hogwarts.
I know, I know…it's short. But I just thought you guys would be ready to kill me if I didn't get chapter one up soon. After all, it's been one day shy of a month since I posted the prologue. * sigh * sorry.
