"HARRY!" Jessica Potter screamed. "IT'S TIME!"
Harry gasped and grabbed Jessica's arm. He had had enough experience with Apparation to know that regular Apparation wasn't safe for pregnant women. He quickly snapped his fingers and concentrated on Saint Mungo's. In less than a second, they were there. He hurried his wife up to the front desk.
"Please, ma'me, my wife is pregnant and in labor!" he burst in one breath. The witch's eyes widened and quickly nodded.
"Follow me. Quickly!"
She then hurried away, with Harry half-carrying his wife along behind her. Exactly 24 hours later, two healthy baby twins, girls, were born. They each had a small ring of soft brown hair on their heads, and their eyes were bright green. The helpful MediWitch placed the twins into Jessica's arms. They were wrapped in soft pink blankets.
"What should we name them?" Jessica said looking at Harry and smiling, her curls damp from labor.
"How about Georgia and Fredericka?" Harry said, smiling. Jessica shook her head.
"I was thinking more along the lines of Ginger Ronald Potter and Holly George Potter," Jessica said. "Fine. But I get to choose the godfathers and godmothers," Harry said.
"Okay, Fred, George, Ron, and Sirius for godfathers and Hermione, Ginny…" he trailed off.
"And Mrs. Weasley and Prof. Mcgonagall for godmothers," Jessica finished.
"Okay," Harry said. Just then, the entire Weasley family, Sirius, Draco, and Hermione burst into the room. Mrs. Weasley rushed over to Jessica, looked at the girls, and cried out, "Oh, they're TWINS!"
Fred and George high-fived each other.
"What are their names?" Hermione asked as she tickled one of them on the foot. The baby giggled.
"They're names are Ginger Ronald Potter and Holly George Potter," said Harry. George and Ron cheered.
For the next half-hour, people cooed, cuddled, and spoiled the twins. Draco had just gotten Ginger when the MediWizard came in and asked them, politely, to leave.
"The twins must spend some time with their parents."
Draco handed over Ginger, and Ginny snatched Holly from her mother's deep purse. She gave Holly to Jessica, took her daughter Brittany's hand, and everyone walked out, Mister and Mrs. Weasley looking very dejected. The next day, Jessica got out of the hospital. The couple went straight to the Weasley's house.
"Oh, they are just the CUTEST little things!" squealed Lavender and Parvati.
"What are their names?"
"This is Ginger Ronald Potter," Jessica said, holding up the baby in her arms. "And that is Holly George Potter."
Ginger and Holly gurgled and laughed as Parvati and Lavender tickled them. Prof. Mcgonagall stepped over to them. She smiled and said, "They really are quite adorable."

"Oh, Mum, can we please go to Hogwarts?" pleaded ten-year-old Ginger Potter at Platform 9 3/4, seeing off all of her cousins. The ten year olds were growing up to be beautiful young girls, with thick, curly dark brown hair and dark green eyes that were large and slightly almond-shaped. Their father, Harry Potter, smiled and said, "Ginge, you and Holly are too young. You'll be able to go next year."
"But Dad," whined Holly, crossing her arms and pouting exactly like her twin. "Brittany gets to go!"
Brittany Malfoy was Ginger and Holly's snobby cousin. She smiled snootily at the twins. She had long, strawberry blonde curls that cascaded down to her midback and ice blue eyes. The twins glared back at her.
"When she comes back, we'll get 'er," Holly muttered to Ginger. They were notorious pranksters, having learned many tricks from their "uncles," Fred, George, and "Uncle Paddy".
"Girls, give your cousins good-bye kisses, and we'll go see a movie, then we'll go to Uncle Fred and Uncle George's shop, okay?" Jessica said, gathering her twins into her arms and lifting them up to kiss their cousins, Bill Jr., Bill and Fluer's oldest and Charlie Jr., Charlie and Veronica Weiss's middle child, on the cheeks. They were in their third year, and TALL. Then they kissed Brittany, and when they did, Ginger pinched her back and Holly tugged at one of her strawberry blonde curls. Brittany yelped, but the train whistle covered it up. She stuck her tongue out at them, and was immediately reprimanded by Ginny, her mother.
"Brittany, leave your cousins alone!" she scolded sharply, fighting down a grin. Her little goddaughters were growing up to be just like Fred and George, who hadn't seen the girls in almost a year, what with being so busy with the shop, Angelina, who had married Fred, and Katie, who had married George. Then all of their cousins got on the train and they waved good-bye to them, laughing as Bill and Charlie waved vigorously at their sons.
"Now, what movie do you want to see?" Jessica asked.
"WE WANNA SEE UNCLE FRED AND UNCLE GEORGE FIRST!" they yelled happily. Harry laughed and Jessica rolled her eyes and smiled. Harry picked up Ginger and Jessica picked up Holly and they Apparated to Diagon Alley, where Fred and George worked. The girls, as soon as their parents dropped them, raced over to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, which was packed with customers. Harry and Jessica ran after them.
"Come on, you two," Harry said, and, taking them both by the hand, led them into the shop.
"Hello and- bless my soul!" cried Fred as he opened the door. "George! Look who we have here!"
George came running out of the back room and over to Fred. He spotted the young girls, and, laughing, picked them up and hugged them.
"Holly! Ginge!" he cried. "How're our favorite twins?"
He put them down and stood next to Fred. They still looked exactly the same, with flaming red hair and mischievous blue eyes, which had small wrinkles around the edges. Fred turned to George with an expression of mock surprise.
"Are you SURE that these are our Holly and Ginge?" he asked. "I mean, they're so big and pretty!"
Holly and Ginger giggled, and Fred picked them up and whirled them around.
"We haven't see our favorite twins in more than a year!" he cried. He put them back on the ground and looked at their parents.
"Do these little ladies still have the singing voices they did a year ago?" he asked. Harry smiled and looked at the young girls.
"Knock 'em dead, sweeties," he said. Holly hopped up and down, saying, "Me first!"
Fred and George nodded and yelled, "Excuse us, everyone! Our goddaughters have kindly agreed to sing for us!"
The shop cheered. Holly and Ginger stood, basking in it all. Then Holly stood on the stage that Fred had created and took the microphone. She smiled and sang just a short part of a song.
Every memory of looking out the back door
Have a photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say, it's time to say it
Good-bye, good-bye
Every memory of walking out the front door
Found a photo of the present I was looking for
It's hard to say, it's time to say it
Good-bye, good-bye
Everyone in the tiny packed store cheered and clapped. Ginger slapped Holly on the hand and walked up to the mike. "Give it up for my twin, Holly!" she yelled.
The crowd burst into fresh applause. Ginger grinned and began to sing.
Is everybody going crazy
Is anybody gonna save me
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong
Everyone clapped and cheered.
"They still got it!" Fred and George said happily. Fred magicked the stage away and hugged the young twins again.
"How old are you two?" George asked.
"Ten, as of yesterday," Ginger and Holly answered, grinning.
"Oh, bugger!" Fred exclaimed. "We forgot about it!"
"We noticed," Jessica, Ginger, and Holly said at the exact same time.
"Well, to make it up to you, how about we spend the entire day doing whatever you want?" said George.
Holly and Ginger looked at each other, grinned, and shouted, "BAM!"
