Chapter 6- Tweezers!

Ginny paced nervously around the kitchen of the Burrow, listing off in her head everything she needed to make sure was finished. Harry's birthday party was just a few minutes away, guests would be arriving, and everything had to go flawlessly. For the past three days she had been working on making everything perfect, and if everything went according to plan, it would be. Some of her brothers had taken Harry out to play Quidditch so he wouldn't see his party being created. Mrs. Weasley was in charge of food, so that was bound to be delicious. Ron had invited the guests, so that was one less thing she had to do. The twins had provided music ( They said it was called a CD, and they used something called A-Tunes or O-Tunes or something like that. Supposedly it was a muggle gadget, though Ginny wasn't sure whether to believe them) (A/N I was talking about I-Tunes, if you didn't get that) and might try to come up with some games they could play. With Hermione in charge of decorations, all Ginny really had to do was make sure everything came together, which, surprising enough, was harder than it sounds.

"Ginny!"

"Ron, don't shout from the living room, come in here and talk to me!"

Rushing in with a guilty look on his face, Ron shouted in a jumbled mess "I think I forgot to invite Hagrid! How did I forget Hagrid! I mean, he's one of Harry's best-

Ding-dong.

"Ron, shut up for a second! People are starting to come!" Ginny snapped, fuming that her prat of a brother had forgotten to invite one of Harry's best friends, and only remembered 3 seconds before the party.

" Hi professors! Thanks for coming!" Said Ginny through her half-forced grin.

"Hello Ms. Weasley." Came from the thin lipped smile of her transfiguration teacher. " May we come in?"

"Of course, professor" Ginny opened the door wide for Professor McGonagall, Dumbledor, and tiny Flitwick to enter, followed by...Hagrid?

"Hagrid! Hi!" Came the relieved and surprised voice of Prat #6. "Never mind, Ginny!"

"Stupid... making me worry... can't even remember...biggest prat..." Ginny mumbled under her breath along with a few colorful choice words here and there before going to meet the crowds of her boyfriends friends waiting to be welcomed warmly into her home.

Something is diffidently up. All day people had been acting strange. For one thing, he hadn't seen hide nor hare of Ginny, Mrs. Weasley or Hermione all day. And for what he had seen of everyone else after they had played quidditch, there had been more whispering, shuffling, and nervous smiles than normal even for such an odd family. 'I'm probably just imagining things.' Harry thought, mentally shaking himself. 'I'm overreacting' But he couldn't shake the feeling that he wasn't over reacting, and that something was up. Then, a horrible thought entered Harry's mind. 'What-what if the Weasley brothers were planning some type of initiation? That must be it! I knew they really couldn't have excepted me dating Ginny! What are they going to do to me?' Harry let out an involuntary shudder. Before Harry could start thinking of things they might experiment with, Harry heard voices around the barn.

"You want to take out his funny bone out? With tweezers? It's amazing what some people can come up with!" Came an amused voice of Fred.

'They're going to take out my funny bone out? With tweezers? That's just wrong! They wouldn't do that to me, would they?' Harry thought frantically, not believing what he was hearing.

" I wonder if this was used as some type of muggle torture? Maybe Harry already know's about it?"

"Either way, George, I'm sure we'll diffidently surprise Harry!..."

' They're coming this way!' Harry ran around the barn in time and peeked around to see the twins walking towards the Burrow, bent over a board on which Harry could see the outlines of a drawing of a man and the Weasley poking him with tweezers. 'Probably practicing' though Harry gloomily. 'I have a very long summer ahead of me.'

A/N They were talking about the game Operations

With no more invitation mishaps from Ron, everyone Ginny could think of to invite was here. Which was diffidently good for Harry, and a coordination disaster for her. And the Firewhiskey hadn't even been broken out yet! Not that they were planning on having any, but with Fred and George around, it was a given.

Other than that, though, everything was going pretty good. The food was, of course, delicious, and the decorations looked superb. Even with Sirius, or lack there of, on a lot of people's minds, everyone was still having a good time. And as far as Ginny knew, the birthday boy still had no idea what was going on.

"You'll never take me alive!" shouted Harry, eyes closed, a stick pointing out in front of him like a sword, at what he had believed to be the Weasley brothers, but had actually turned out to be a rabbit coming out from a bush. Ok, so maybe he was a little bit paranoid. Ok, a lot bit paranoid. But, you would be too if they Weasley brothers and their tweezers were coming after you. From the time he had seen the Weasley brothers until now, almost 20 minutes later, he had been secret-agent-ing his way towards the Burrow, so he wouldn't be spotted. With lots of summer-salts, tiptoeing, crawling, and pointless shouting like the example shown above, Harry had slowly but surely made his way towards the burrow in his paranoid state. It was a little- well, a lot- weird, but he liked his funny bone attached to his arm and planned to keep it that way.
