Just a short one-shot to (belatedly) celebrate our beloved holiday.
Disclaimer: I never use these. I suppose I should, huh? Uh, all of the characters you'll see here belong to our beloved JKR, except the attendant. Haha, I love her. Butif I could write that well, I'd be published, not posting on ffnet.
"Come on, Molly!" shouted Arthur encouragingly. "Come on!"
Molly grimaced at him and promptly began cursing the traditional ideals of large wizarding families. "It's your fault, Arthur! Entirely your fault!"
"I think you may have had something to do with it, my dear," he replied. Arthur shrunk back from her glare. "April Fool's! Just kidding…No, I think that I'd better…go check on the other three. I'll be right back, love." He sprinted from the room, his long robes streaming behind him.
Molly cursed and strained. Then stopped.
Arthur cautiously crept back into the eerily silent room. Molly glowered at him. Arthur took several steps back until he was outside the door.
"ARTHUR!"
He crept back in with his head ducked down. He glanced up at her, then quickly snapped his head back.
"Congratulations," said the attendant, but she said it as more of a question. Then: "on your healthy twin boys." This was said in a rush so that it sounded more like, "onyrelhywinoys."
"Ha ha. I get it. April Fool's, right? You're joking, right?" asked Arthur weakly.
"Uh, no."
