Hm ... me updating! Imagine that! See, I haven't abandoned everyone! I'm just moving at a snail's pace.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter! If I did I would have this spider that has been bugging me DEAD! Killed by a butler named Winston.

Rating: This chapter is pretty light. Still keeping the rating at T because I can! Uh! hah!

"How's Alan doing?" Katie asked Alicia and George as the six friends sat down to dinner that night. Alicia was sitting across from Katie and George was sitting next to the pregnant ex-Chaser. Angelina was next to Alicia, with Fred next to her. Oliver was seated on the other side of George, the guests opting not to use the end chairs.

"He's excited about staying with Bill and Fleur," Alicia answered before George could.

"Teaching Antigone and Nikolas ways to annoy their parents, is more like it," George added, "Always has had an affinity of mischief."

"Wonder why," Was Oliver's sarcastic response from the end of the table.

"Are you suggesting that one if not both of Alan's parents are mischievous in any way, dear Woodie-kins?" George queried innocently, in a quite high pitched tone at that.

"You and Alicia mischievous? Hardly," More sarcasm from the eldest person at the table caused a huff from Fred.

"Don't give them all the credit," The married twin eyed Oliver disapprovingly, "All those years at Hogwarts and you've yet to acknowledge that I was the brains of the operations."

"Hey!" The entire table, save Oliver, chorused at Fred's statement.

"I'll have you know, I am the one that thought of hexing Snape's hair into singing liberty spikes third year," Angelina defended.

"Not to mention we," Alicia pointed to herself and Katie, "were the ones that got the giant squid to start performing a musical in the middle of a particularly grueling and boring Herbology lesson."

"How did you manage that, anyway?" Oliver asked curiously, but his question went unanswered as the twins leaped to their defense.

"How dare you question our pranking abilities!" George practically growled, "I bet by the end of this vacation we can prove that the Gred and Forge are still a force to be reckoned with!"

"Alright, fine. Everyone in on this?" Alicia looked to her friends, who despite the floored look on Oliver's face, seemed to be in agreement that they could out-do the others.

"Now to be fair, shouldn't we do this in pairs?" Angelina asked the ex-Mrs. George Weasley.

"Ahh, right. Well it seems Gred and Forge are already taken," Alicia observed, "So it looks like it shall be an all-girls pairing and then someone is with Woodie."

"Nicknames, 'Licia!" Oliver pouted.

"I'll see if I can work with Oliver," Katie finally spoke up, "Though it may be hopeless," She sent him a smile, something that seemed to be becoming more frequent since she had joined up with her friends.

"You sure you want to work with him?" Angelina questioned, giving Oliver a glance, "'Tis hopeless!"

"Oh be quiet!" Oliver groaned, "I'm not that awful."

"Oliver, in school you had no sense of humor at all. The worst thing you ever did was ... was ...," George looked at his twin for assistance, "was ... er ... nothing to speak of."

"I actually concentrated on important things," Uh oh, he was in for it now, "I mean ... I didn't mean ... er ..."

"Are you implying ..." Fred began.

George continued, "That the trickery of others,"

"For purely harmless and humorous purposes,"

"Are in no way shape or form ..."

"Important in the slightest?"

"Absurd!"

"Ridiculous!"

"Ludicrous!"

"Unfathomable!"

"Unfathomable? Good one, Fred," George complimented.

"Why thank you brother," Fred nodded his approval.

"Quite the intellectual one you are," George complimented again.

"Quite right! Always had the upper hand in that department."

"Pardon?"

"Pardon what?"

"What did you say?"

"What did who say?"

"Fred!"

"George!"

"Fred!"

"Forge!"

"Gred ... huh? FRED!"

"Shut up the both of you!" Alicia interjected.

"Mind your own, thanks," Fred interrupted, causing the eye rolling of all around him.

"Brother, you wound me!" George cried.

"Deepest, sincerest apologies," Fred offered faux-sincerely.

"Straight to the heart your arrow flies ..." George exclaimed dramatically, placing a hand over his heart.

"Surely its not that bad?" Fred asked, hopefully.

"It is." Was George's brief reply.

"It is?"

"Ohh it is!"

"I'm pregnant." Angelina's voice finally, and loudly, interrupted the childish behavior of the Weasley twins.

Fred was shocked she had announced it so. Oliver, Alicia, and Katie stared at her in shock. George blinked a few times and toppled out of his chair, backwards.

The entire table, save Fred and Angelina, burst into laughter. "Good ... good one Ange," George mumbled in the midst of his laughing on the floor.

"Not quite a prank, but good!" Alicia looked at one of her friends with a laugh and a pat on the back.

"Oi, I think Fred's still in shock. Needn't be doing that to the old boy," George had uprighted himself and looked at the blank face of Fred Weasley.

"No, um, she's – she's telling the truth," Fred defended his wife who was nodding along with him.

"Oh good heavens," George squealed in a very feminine tone, before toppling backwards over the chair he had just uprighted.

"Why is he the one fainting?" Katie asked curiously, staring at the immobile frame of George Weasley on the floor and then across his form to Oliver.

"When I said I was pregnant with Alan, he was out for two days straight," Alicia added, "Remember?"

"Oh yes," The entire table chorused.

"Congratulations Angelina, Fred," Oliver was the first to tell the couple.

"Oh yes! I'm going to be an Auntie twice this year!" Alicia giddily squealed, enveloping Angelina in a hug, "Well ... sorta."

"Congrats you two, you deserve it," And with that news Katie slipped back into her funk. This is how its supposed to be when announcing a pregnancy. With friends and family and laughter in the air. Not at your husband's funeral.

"All this news and excitement has worn me out," Katie said with a forced laugh, "When you get as big as me, it won't take much to be exhausted," She directed her statement at Angelina, "So goodnight everyone." Everyone said their goodnights and she carefully moved away from the table, careful not to trample on Fred, and disappeared down the hallway to her bedroom.

"I can't believe you're pregnant!" Alicia said to Angelina.

"I can't believe George fainted," Fred added.

I can't believe they don't notice the sudden change in mood, Oliver thought to himself.

"I'm tired as well ... mud fights and pregnancy announcements are too much for such an old person," Oliver muttered.

"Night Ollie-ver!" The three called out to him as he disappeared down the same hallway. He and Katie were staying on the ground floor with Alicia while Fred, Angelina, and George were on the second floor.

However, Oliver didn't stop at his bedroom, but continued down the hall to someone else's.
