Chapt. 7: Weasley's Wizard Wheezes

After lunch and a short break, Ari led the way to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

"Come on Mum! I want to meet Uncle Fred and Uncle George," Ari said dragging her mother closer to the store.

"Now, Ari. I don't know if they still work here," Hermione said as Ari opened the door.

They were greeted by bangs of fireworks, and loads of confetti falling from the ceiling. And from that mess came two tall Weasleys who looked absolutely identical, called Fred and George.

"Welcome to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. You are Our 100th customer today!" said Fred, looking at Ari, as she was the child.

"I'm Gred and this is Forge. Or maybe that's the other way around," George continued, Ari stared at them in awe.

"What can we help you with today?" Fred asked Ari, Hermione slipped behind the twins and into the store, unnoticed.

"Umm…I want extendable ears, canary creams, fake wands, nose-bleed nougats, and anything else I can carry!" Ari smiled.

"I like this girl," Fred grinned and led Ari into the store.

"I thought you might," Hermione said as she walked out from behind an aisle of fake wands and extendable ears.

George looked at her as though he seen her before he just couldn't put a finger on it exactly.

"Hi Uncle Gred, Uncle Forge," Ari said brightly before running to the shelfs of fake wands.

"Do we…know her?" Fred asked his brother as he stared at the girl.

"You know her. More or Less," Hermione answered, trying not to laugh at their faces.

"Wait, do we even know you?" George asked looking at her like she was crazy.

"I'm her mum," Hermione simply replied.

"Yeah, I think we got that, but who's she?" Fred asked, his eyes glancing at Hermione.

The 4 adults stared at the auburn haired girl. Ari was oblivious to the stares as she filled her arms with everything she could. Hermione was still trying to hold back a laugh while the twins looked at Ari in shock.

"Mum, why are they staring at me like that?" Ari asked, finally looking up at the adults.

"Excuse me, what's your name, honey?" George asked.

"You know me, Uncle George," George looked at her in surprise, hardly anyone could tell the twins apart, hell not even their mother could, but this girl could.

"Sure we do dear. But what's your name?" Fred asked.

"Ariella Molly Granger," Ari said and Hermione smiled.

Fred and George looked from Ari to Hermione and from Hermione to Ari, in pure shock.

"Hermione?" George finally said, after what seemed like forever.

"Hey guys!" Hermione answered.

"But…what happened? Hermione, it's been 11 years," Fred said hugging her.

"Everyone's been looking for you. Ron, Harry…everyone," George told her as he hugged her.

"I've been in America, with Ari," Hermione explained.

"Ron's been worried sick about you. Wrote letters to you all the time, he never sent them though. I think he thought you were really dead," Fred explained.

"So…I'm guessing she's Ron's?" George said, nodding at Ari.

"Yeah, she is," Hermione nodded.

"Figured. Ron told us what happened the night before Graduation. He reckons that's why you left. Don't think he got any since then," Fred said and Hermione laughed.

"So what brings you back to England after so long?" George asked.

"Ari's going to Hogwarts. And I'm teaching Charms there," Hermione answered. Fred and George exchanged a look.

"You always were the smartest, I figured you'd be a teacher some day. So, what was life like in America?" Fred asked.

"I moved to a small Magic community up there. Had a job as Asisstant Editor for Witch Weekly. Ari just turned 6 when you opened shop close to our home, so she couldn't wait to meet her famous Uncles," Hermione explained.

"You told her about us?" George asked as he gazed at the 11-year-old.

"Yeah, she knows about everyone, she had to know her other family somehow," Hermione answered.

The 3 caught up on things that happened the past 11 years. Hermione found out that Bill and Fleur were living in France and had 2 kids. Charlie was married to a witch named Britney and they had a daughter and twins on the way. Penny and Percy had a son. Fred was engaged to Angelina and George to Alicia. But they said nothing about Ron, Harry or Ginny.

"Mum! Can I have a Pygmy Puff?" Ari squeaked as she saw the Pygmy Puffs sitting in a cage by the front counter.

"Well…I suppose so," Hermione nodded.

Ari picked out a pink one and named her Rizzo, after her favorite muggle movie Grease.

"How much do I owe you?" Hermione asked, taking out her wallet as the twins put all of Harry's purchases into bags.

"Free, for our newest, most favorite niece," George said grinning at Ari.

"It was nice to meet you, Uncle Fred and Uncle George," Ari said giving them both a giant hug and kiss on the cheek.

"See you both at Christmas," Fred said brightly and hugged Hermione as he ushered them out the door

"Should we tell Ron?" George asked as Fred walked back inside after the 2 girls left.

"Nah, let's make him sweat," Fred smirked.


Hope you liked it. Gee I wonder what Fred & George know that Hermione doesn't? Anyhow I love F&G's reactions so very funny. Hehe. PLEASE REViEW!
