Chapter 4
"Arggh!" Ginny grieved, "How can they do this to me?"—what do you mean, 'how can they do this to me?'; they're Fred and George, she thought. "Maybe they are trying to help, though." She said to herself and then thought, and maybe I should stop talking to myself. She heard a knock on the door.
"Ginny, we're sorry!"
It was Fred. She didn't say anything, but she still wanted to hear what they had to say.
"Yeah," George agreed, "We're not going to use any Extendable Ears or any of that sort anymore . . . well, in your case at least."
"You shouldn't have done that to me in the first place!" Ginny replied.
"Well, we thought that--" Fred started.
George finished, "That there was someone else in your room!"
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Perhaps I was using the fellytone." She didn't quite believe their claim, but she opened her door anyway. "Well, if you are really sorry then . . . get me a cat for my birthday! Siamese and a girl!"
"No prob, Bob!" the twins said in unison. They walked into her room, and Ginny felt confident with telling them about her confusing predicament. She admitted all her dreams and feelings about Harry. She was close to her brothers, but when she wanted to talk to someone about her troubles, she usually summoned Hermione for advice. Hermione was spending part of her holiday with her parents. She was going to visit the Weasleys the day after Harry arrived.
"Our ickle Ginny-Winny is growing up!" Fred teased.
"Ginnykins has a boyfriend!" exclaimed George.
"It gets old, guys!" said Ginny.
"Well, when Harry comes, we can try to find out what he really thinks of you," Fred offered.
George agreed, "Yes, and we'll try to get him to like you."
"This all has a price-tag on it, though," Fred informed.
"And what is that?" Ginny asked.
"Don't tell Mum that we put flying spell on the chickens," George answered.
"Yeah, that's why they're missing, but they'll come back once their wings shrink to normal," Fred added.
Ginny smiled and shook hands in agreement.
