Chapter one: The new Weasley twins.

"Ron!" Hermione Weasley shook her husband. "Ron wake up!"

"Just another minute mum!" Ron muttered sleepily as he rolled over.

"Wake up!" Hermione growled as she smacked Ron's shoulder.

"Ow! What was that for?" Ron asked his wife rubbing his shoulder.

"Your son's are at it again!" Hermione looked irritated.

"Oh?" Ron looked at her speculatively. "And why is it that whenever they misbehave their my children and not ours?"

"Because." She retorted. "This, I guess you could call it an urge to misbehave came from your side of the family, not mine."

"I seem to remember that your not the "little miss goody two shoes" that you're trying to make your self out to be love." Ron grinned. "Don't you remember that polyjuice potion incident?"

Hermione grimaced. "Yeah, well that was only one to your how many?" she shot back. "Look, we can split hairs over this all you want Ron, but that won't stop the twins from blowing up the house again now will it?"

"Okay, you're right." Ron grumbled. "I'll go stop them. What are they experimenting on this time anyway?"

"They wouldn't say, as usual. But I did over hear them talking about sending whatever it was to their uncle's shop when they were done." Hermione looked worried. "And as we all know."

"Yeah, I know." Ron sighed. "It isn't good when it's something for Uncle Fred and George's shop. We usually end up in a hotel for at least a week!"

"And don't forget poor Bilby, I never thought that poor cat's tail would ever stop smoking." Hermione looked at Ron horrified.

Ron sighed again as he got up and only made it to the door before he heard the signature explosion.

KABOOM!

"Well, too late!" Hermione sighed. "Guess its back to the hotel again."

"MARCUS! DARION!" Ron bellowed as he opened the door. "You are in so much trouble!"

Ron stormed down the hall towards the twins room. As he almost got to the door, one of the boys stuck his head out and saw the look on his father's face. With a yelp the boy shut his door and Ron heard the tell tale lock of the door.

"Marcus you had better open this door right now!" Ron shouted as he banged on the door. "Darion! Don't make me resort to magic, if I have to it will only be worse for you two!"

He didn't hear a sound out of the other side of the door.

"Hermione, bring me my wand please!" he shouted back in the direction of his room.

Hermione came out of their room with Jalisia's hand in one of hers and Ron's wand in the other. "Here." She said handing him the wand.

Ron turned back to his son's door and yelled "ALAHOMORA!"

As the door swung open he watched his son's retreating backs slip out the window. Ron ran to the window and bellowed "IMMOBULUS!" at the twins.

Both of the boys stopped in mid run, as if they were frozen on the spot. Ron jumped out the window while silently thanking Merlin that he lived in a one story house and that at the moment there were no muggles about.

"What have your mother and I told you a thousand times before about you're experimenting in the house?" he growled as soon as he was in ear shot of the twins. "That was why we are building you that shed with the guarding and silencing spells on it. All that we had asked of you in return was to wait long enough for it to be built before you experimented again, but you can't even do that much for us can you?"

He waved his wand, freeing them from the bind he had placed on them. Both boy's tumbled.

"I swear you two are turning out more and more like Fred and George everyday." Ron grumbled.

"But dad, we were just…" Marcus started but was cut short by his father's glare.

"Oh, believe me I know what you were "just" doing. I grew up with your uncle's just doing the same bloody thing!" Ron said taking both boy's by the hand and dragging them back into the house. "Your mother and I have tried to be patient with your experimentation; we have even tried to give you a place to perform them without displacing the whole bloody family. But are you ever happy with that? No. if you two can't stop experimenting in the house then I will just have to ensure that you can't experiment at all until the shed is built. I am going to remove all magical items from your room until further notice!"

With that Ron went into the boy's room and locked himself in. he then proceeded to gather all of the magical items his son's had in there room until he was satisfied. They had so many items that he had to shrink them and make them light weight so that he could manage carrying them out of the room in one trip. When he emerged, Ron grinned evilly at his boy's.

"There, I'm done and I can guarantee that you won't find one single magical item in your room." He told them giddily. "Have fun!"

Ron laughed as he went back to his room.

"What's so funny?" Hermione asked, eyeing Ron suspiciously.

"I have just banned our two explosive experts from magic!" Ron told her giddily.

"You what!" Hermione shrieked.

"I thought you'd be happy." Ron said taken aback.

"Happy? Why would I be happy that you banned them from magic?" she practically shrilled. "our life revolves around magic and you want to deny our children!"

"Calm down Mione. It's not permanent." Ron explained. "It's just until we can have the shed finished."

"But they start Hogwarts next month Ron." She told him exasperated.

"Is it really that close?"

"Yes Ron. And how are they to attend if they can't perform magic?"

"Well then I'll give them their wands back when we get to the train. But I will not give them back before then." Ron promised.

"I guess I can live with that." Hermione sighed.

"Look at it this way love, at least we won't have to go to the hotel and Bilby will remain in one piece for another year." Ron sighed as he sat down on their bed and began removing the confiscated items from his pocket. "But better than that is when the boy's do start Hogwarts we'll finally be able to get some peace and quiet."

"Yeah, but I can't help but feel sorry for the professors. I mean I know that Dumbledore has retired and Harry can handle his nephews but poor McGonagall and Snape. They're not going to know what to do with these boys." Hermione had begun to rummage for a chest to place the items into.

"McGonagall I can feel sorry for. But Snape?" Ron grew a sour look on his face.

"Oh Ron, do you honestly hate Snape enough to wish our two demons on him?"

"Let me think about that." Ron paused. "Yes I do. I mean come on, Snape made our lives hell at school Mione. Always lurking and taking points away for no good reason. Of course I wish our two on him, serves him right."

Hermione shook her head as she placed the items into a trunk she had found. She then placed a locking spell onto it to prevent the twins from picking the lock, another habit they had seemed to pick up from their uncles.

"Well we should gather up the children and head to get their school items." Hermione placed a kiss on her husband's cheek.

"Right." Ron jumped off their bed and made his way back to the boy's room. "Marcus, Darion get ready and meet your mother and I down in the kitchen in five minutes. We're going to get your school things." Ron then turned to his daughter's room and knocked softly on the door.

"Yes?" came the soft reply from the other side.

"Lissie?" He opened the door. "Lissie, honey can you get ready and meet mommy and I in the kitchen please?"

"Why? Where are we going daddy?" Jalisia looked up form her muggle tea party set her parents had given her.

"To get your brother's school things." He told her.

"Okay daddy!" Jalisia beamed.

Five minutes later Jalisia came skipping into the kitchen with her brothers trailing behind her, deep in conversation. As soon as they entered the kitchen they stopped talking and glared at their father.

"Now don't look at me that way! You brought this on yourselves." Ron told them sternly.

"We don't want to go and get our school things!" Marcus crossed his arms defiantly, still glaring at Ron.

"Yeah, we want to stay home!" Darion stated.

"Oh yeah? Well I know why you want to stay home." Ron growled. "And I'll be damned if I am going to leave you here and give you the opportunity to try to break into our room to get your stuff back!"

"Mom!" both of the twins turned towards their mother.

"Oh no you don't." Hermione shook her head. "I'm with your father on this boy's"

Both boys gaped at her in shock.

"Oh come now, your mother has backed me plenty of times before this." Ron glared at the boy's. "So why are you acting so surprised?"

The boy's simply shook their heads in reply.

"Alright then, lets get a move on shall we?" Ron moved to the fireplace. He took a pinch of floo powder and threw it into the fire. "Mione, you take Darion and Lissie with you. I'll take Marcus."

Hermione nodded and grabbed Darion's arm as she and Jalisia made their way to the fire place. Hermione took Jalisia's hand as she stated "Diagon Alley!" and disappeared.

Then it was Ron's turn. He took Marcus by the arm and threw in some more floo powder. He then stepped in dragging his son with him and said "Diagon Alley!"
