Chapter 2 – They start to grow


Disclaimer – I don't own, I don't know, I don't sue


I didn't get many reviews for the first chapter, so if you're out there, please, please review. Not that I'm desperate or anything. I've worked out the ages so that Charlie is 7 years old, Bill is 8 and Percy is 2 when Fred and George are born. Ron is born in 2 years and Ginny in 3


Life in the burrow was hectic for the next few days. The newly named Fred and George had taken Charlie and Bill's newly resigned place in annoying Percy.

To be fair, this mainly consisted of loud crying and crawling over his legs. But they always seemed to burst into tears around Percy

Charlie had been practicing Quiddich on his broom and was playing Bill a lot, though Bill seemed to hate heights.

Bill had gone into his Mothers room to try jewellery on Fred and George, decided it looked good on them, and tried his hair in a ponytail.

When his Mrs. Weasley came in he refused to take it off. He also demanded to have his ear pierced. Needless to say that several tantrums came of this and Bill refused to speak for days.

Percy had since resolved to shut himself in his room after the first day with Fred and George to get on with reading.

The fact that he was reading "Wizdy the Wonder Wizard, Wizdy, the Unicorn and the Billywig sting" made absolutely no difference, no matter what anyone said.

Mrs. Weasley was still in a bad mood and if any one dared to talk to her she sent straight them up to their room, no supper, lunch, tea, dinner, elevenses, pudding, dessert or breakfast, although Mr. Weasley normally took something up for them to nibble on.

In fact Mr. Weasley seemed to be the most normal person in the house, something which would stay the same for the rest of his life.

But even he couldn't avoid work with Voldemort about. He had to go off to the Ministry early every morning, and return late every night to report more killings.

He still had to report to the order for meetings, which he conveniently forgot to tell Mrs. Wesley about and always cursing his bad memory loudly.


A few months later Mrs. Weasley got a telephone call from Dave and Julia, while Arthur was working, asking if they could look after their newly born son (Lee) for a few hours while they went shopping at Hogsmead.

When the Jordans arrived they stopped for a quick chat, or rather Molly and Julia had a lengthy and unnecessary chat, Dave went off to find Fred and George to introduce them to Lee.

He found them banging on Percy's door, each with a tag around their neck saying Fred and George, evidently to tell them apart.

He quickly made a tag for Lee and left them alone, to try to pull his wife away.

The instant the adult was gone, the twins whipped out their mother's wand, that they had sneaked from her apron pocket at breakfast, and nodded to each other. A train of unheard thought passed between the two young ginger twins.

Try out the new guy?

Definitely

You or me

You

Apparently they somehow knew how to perform a crying charm, because they tapped Lee on the head, and he instantly burst into an unstoppable flow of tears.

Their Mothers and Dave heard downstairs and rushed to the source of the noise.

"Percival Weasley!" shrieked Mrs. Weasley.

In an instant Percy stuck his head out of the door and looked puzzled.

"What is it?"

"What have you done?"

"What do you mean? Who is that?"

"That, Percy, is my son Lee." Julia shrieked in anger.

"Is that my wand?" demanded Mrs. Weasley

"I believe it is..."

"Let's find out what he did."

"My thoughts exactly."

"Prior Incantato"

A thin tear seeped out of Mrs. Weasley's wand.

"A crying charm."

"How dare you!"

A silence broke out after this, Percy looking stunned. It was broken by a voice at the door.

"And how would he know a crying charm?" Bill asked

"Yeah, even we don't know any proper magic yet, why would Percy?" Charlie added

Now it was Molly and Julia's turn to look stunned.

"They have a point there dear." Dave added

Everyone was so busy staring at the two women; they didn't notice that Lee had stopped crying, and that the three infants were crawling away from the scene, to Fred and George's room.

"Well, who performed a crying charm then?" Julia asked her husband, starting to calm down a little, unlike Mrs. Weasley.

"Well, let's think. We found the wand outside Percy's room. Percy reads lots of books..."

"Wizdy the Wonder Wizard hardly counts as an education book" Charlie interjected but quickly shrank away from the sour look that Mrs. Weasley was giving him.

"Well, the only other people would have been Fred and George and I hardly think that they..." It was at this point that Mrs. Weasley realised three things

1. Her wand had always been found next to the twins whenever they were heard crying,

2. They always cried around Percy,

3.That she would never be able to trust Fred and George again.


Fred heard the noise silence upstairs and stopped, grabbed George and Lee, and took them into an empty bedroom.

Are you ok?

Yeah fine.

What about the other guy?

He seems fine.

Pity he's not a twin.

He could still "play" with us.

Yeah, I guess so.

Shall we ask him?

You do it.

Why me?

You know more words.

Alright I'll do it.

"You! Ugly! You ok? You want to play with us?"

"Sure. Fine. Just tell me if you're going to do that again. And who are you calling ugly?"

"Sorry man"

Hey Fred.

What?

Whose room is this?

Don't know.

Isn't that Mum's necklace?

I think so.

Isn't that her Bracelet?

And Bill's hair bobble?

Are we in Mum's room?

Yup.

Uh oh.

Yup.

We are screwed.

Should we tell the new kid?

No.

Why not?

You know.

No I don't.

Yes you do.

So he takes part of the blame?

Exactly.

Perfect.


That was much quicker than I thought it would be but other updates probably won't be as quick.

Same as last chapter. Review, tell me tips and recommend me to others
