He sat down next to Ron at the table and a loud clomping noise came from upstairs and not even a moment later Fred and George had appeared dressed and ready to get to work. "So, what are we going to do today?" Ron asked looking at Harry and Sydney. "Have you forgotten already dear brother?" Fred asked patting his brother on the shoulder and winking at Sydney. She rolled her eyes.
"Forgot what?" Ron asked. He was getting aggravated again. Harry was just now realizing that maybe Ron wasn't a very good morning person. "You told us on your first day back at the Burrow that you'd help us at the Joke Shop if we needed it." "No I did not! Mum tell them," Ron said beckoning for his mother to back him up. "Actually Ronald you did say you would help." "But, Mum that was before I knew Harry and Syd were coming. What are they going to do, sit around and wait for me to come home?" "We'll help out too, won't we Har'?" Sydney said elbowing her cousin in the ribs at the look of disgust on his face when he heard the idea. "Yeah, of course." Harry smiled at Fred and George, but when he turned back to his cousin it wilted away. Sydney laughed a little.
"Come on, it won't be that bad." "Yeah, we'll pay you guys and everything." With that Ron shot up and jumped for joy, "Oh, goody, I'm getting paid to work in my big brothers' joke shop. Just what I always wanted." It was the girliest voice Harry had ever heard Ron use. "Ginny! Breakfast's READY!" Mrs. Weasley called up the stairs. Ginny flew down the steps and looked around the room. "Morning everyone," she said happily sitting down on the other side of Harry. Her cheeks were flushed, but she didn't seem to care who saw.
"Luna's coming round today," she explained to whoever she thought would be listening. "Lovely, just what we need," George said. Harry rolled his eyes and Sydney smacked her forehead at the thought of Luna Lovegood staying with them.
They finished off breakfast quickly and apparated into The Leaky Cauldron. Picking up lunch and a few other things before they went to The Weasley's Joke Shop.
