"Dear brother, you realize this means our secret is out to at least four students at Hogwarts."

"Our secret, your secret, or my secret?"

"All of them."

"Oh dear, dear, dear brother, whatever shall we do?"

"I suggest another sale, perhaps on fake wands?"

"And just want in the bloody hell will that do to solve our problem?"

"The increased income stream should be enough to offset the bribes we will need to pay for the remainder of this year, and help us develop a better plan of distribution for next year."

"I've already figured next year out."

"You have?"

"Good thing Mum already knows."

"You mean?"

"Yes."

"With the?"

"Yes."

"And she will?"

"Yes."

"Bloody hell, you are brilliant!"

"Thank you. Now we just have to convince them."

"Did you see him at Christmas? Shouldn't pose a problem at all."

"So, do we want to continue with the fake wand sale?"

"Would be a nice distraction before NEWTS, and I always like to be helpful!"

"Did you get your birthday present, brother?"

"Did you get yours?"

"Yes, thank you muchly!"

"No - thank YOU muchly!"

"No - I insist, thank you muchly!"

"Yes, thank me!"


A/N: I am loving this drabble-type format. All praise be to Droxy who inspires me to write these short, quick stories (if you haven't read her work, I strongly suggest it). It is a challenge and a nice break from my longer fics!
