(taps microphone) I have planned this speech to say sorry for my bad grammer and spelling. If you could all forgive me and just read this next chapter I'd really appreciate it. Also, I did not force my sister to read and review my story, she did it on her own free will. I would like to say again how sorry I am and I'll edit this chapter more. Thank you. (crowd boos and starts throwing tomatoes at author who hates public speaking) NO! NOT THE TOMATOES! ANYTHING BUT THE TOMATOES, I'M ALLERGIC! HIVES! HIVES! (author starts itching madly) FINE! Just read the story and tell me what you think! I'M LEAVING ALREADY, STOP THROWING TOMATOES!
Thanks to all the reviewers and please accept this chapter that I have written before my summer vacation as a peace offering for all my bad spelling and grammer. On with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. All I own is the plot and I don't even think I own that. Anyway don't sue me.
Chapter 2- When the Weasly Twins Fall Down
"OH MY GOD! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!" Alicia screamed at the top of her lungs to get some unwanted stares. The guys made an excuse about getting some drinks, scared of what a drunk, happy and jealous Alicia could do.
"You're gonna get married! You're gonna get married!" Katie sang out loud.
"You and Fred, great couple. Mrs. Angelina Weasly, that sounds nice. Wait! That means I'll be the only one in our three-some that won't be married to a guy from the other three-some!" Alicia squealed.
"Well your running out of time. Go snog George before he marries some other slut!" Angelina said pushing her towards the drinks table where the guys were.
"Are you calling me a slut?" Alicia asked with a mock hurt look.
"Of course you're aren't. Just because you lost your virginity before any of us does not mean you're a slut who should have taken up prostitution as a profession." Katie said.
"Jeez, thanks. I feel so much better knowing that guys won't go out with me because they think I'm a slut." Alcia said sarcastically.
"Alicia, you just don't spread around enough. If every guy found you were the hugest slut in the world you would not get a moments peace." Angelina commented.
"Yeah, you would be cheating on the guy that you cheated with your boyfriend with." Katie said with a huge smile at her wonderful sentence.
"I need a drink," Alicia said rolling her eyes at the two.
"We'll come with," Katie said.
"God knows what a slut and George Weasly could do," Angelina said with a smirk.
"That's it, you're going down," Alicia said moving towards Angelina.
"Bring it on, sister!" Angelina screamed. (A/N That line is from white chicks and if you wanna know, I don't own that either. But it is an awesome movie that I would reccommend)
"I will but later. I wouldn't want to ruin Katie's perfect day though." Alicia smirked.
"Please go right on ahead, I could use some entertainment," Katie said.
"Okay," Alicia smirked and lunged at Angelina, knocking her down.
"Get off me you biotch!" Angelina screamed trying to kick Alicia off.
"Do you admit that I am not a slut of any kind?" Alicia asked.
"Yes! You're not a slut of any kind! Get off!" Angelina said desperate to get Alicia off.
"Yipee!" Alicia cried jumping off.
"Lets go get some drinks now, I sure need it," Katie said looking at the pair on the floor. Alicia and Angelina got up and followed Katie to the drinks table to enjoy a nice scotch on the rocks.
On the other side of the drinks table Lee, Fred and George were enjoying some martinis. "So my brother, you finally proposed! And to Angelina, who knew you had the guts?" George joked.
"Yeah, you're pretty lucky. If you hadn't gotten her first then I wouldn't be dating Katie," Lee said a bit drunk.
"Wow, you must be really drunk. If I recall after about three dates you were head over heels for that girl," George muttered.
"Are you saying you love my future wife more than your wife?" Fred asked daringly. (dare-ing-ly is that a word? probably didn't spell it right)
"No, its just that for a date Angelina would have been my first choice. Anyways, George when are you getting married with Alicia?" Lee quickly changed the subject.
George pratically spat his drink out. "Hell no, am I marrying Alicia," George said matter-a-factly, "Besides, she's probably secretly engaged to like Roger Davies or something." The thing was that George had always had a crush on Alicia and Roger Davies was his worst enemy since Hogwarts. He shivered at the thought of Alicia stading with Davies at the alter.
"So, you excited about the wedding? Are you excited about having a couple of months worth of, 'I think my dress makes me look fat' or 'What do you like better, salmon or halibut?'" Lee mocked.
"Well, it'll only be a couple of months. The only thing I'm worried about is Angelina screaming at everyone because they're not doing a perfect job and they're not on their knees worshipping her cause she's getting married. Worst case scenario is that she runs away because she's nervous. There goes hundreds, no thousands, of galleons down the drain." said Fred.
After a couple of hours and many drinks, Lee heard Katie yell, "Baby, I'm throwing the bouquet now!" Lee nodded his approvel a bit too late after many girls came running to catch it.
"Ready? One, two, three and go!" Katie screamed and launched the bouquet into the air. Angelina lunged for it but was only able to get her finger tips on it before it fell out of her grasp. The group of flowers then amazingly fell into the hands of a single Alicia Spinnet.
"Katie, your bouquet is skrewd. I think Angelina is supposed to have it, I mean she's the one engaged." Alicia said shoving the flowers towards Angelina.
"No Alicia, you should take it. Fate says you're gonna get married first and fate does not lie," Angelina said boldly.
"Angie's right, maybe you'll magically fall in love and then get married when you're drunk." Katie said
"Well thanks, but I think fate is just trying to give me some fake hope about me getting married before Angie." Alicia muttered.
"Whatever you say you dorkwad," Angelina muttered under her breath so only Alicia could hear her.
"You know what, it's getting late. I think the party is over," Katie said sadly because her magical wedding day would finally end. With that, Katie jumped up to the front where the whole crowd could see her. "I would like to thank everybody for coming but sadly, I only booked this reception for so long. On behalf of Lee and I, we would like to wish you a safe trip home. Thanks again for coming and making our day so special," Katie got down, "Guys you're gonna have to leave now." She directed this to her group of friends that included Fred, George, Alicia and Angelina.
"Yeah," said Lee from behind her, "Me and Katie have some important business to attend to."
"That's all-"
"You needed to say," said Fred and George. The group then apparated with a loud POP and never came back.
"So," Lee smirked, "We're finally alone."
"I guess we are. What do you suppose we do with our large hotel room upstairs?"
"I have an idea." With that, he picked up Katie bridal-style and carried her towards the newlyweds suite.
The next day at around six o'clock the Weasly twins were closing up their joke shop. They sweeped away that day's dust from the floor, restocked the shelves, and reheated some leftovers for dinner that night.
"Fred, we need some more canary creams for shelf five," George commented, "Do we need to make some more?"
"No problem, we have a crate full downstairs in the basement," Fred announced.
"Could you go get it? I'm gonna get a ladder to dust the top of the shelves."
"Okay."
Fred climbed down the stairs to the basement of Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes and dodged the dozens of crates filled with tons of explosives and other joke material. "Ahh!" screamed Fred as he tripped over a crate of explosives knocking the crate over to expose the contents. Then he had thought of an excellent prank to pull on George. He took out a normal exploding firework. He thought if he made it explode beside George he'd be so shocked he'd fall off the ladder.
He took out a firework that would explode about ten seconds after being lit. He crept up to the middle of the staircase and took out his wand. He lit the firework with a spell but it quickly exploded in his hand right after being lit. Fred dropped it just as his hand got burnt a little, the wooden stairs then caught fire and it all collasped. Fred fell with the stairs and passed out from the fall without so much as a scream. The fire then spread towards the other crate of explosives. Within seconds the whole basement was on fire.
George was upstairs when he saw glints of orange and the smoke. "Fred!" he cried and almost fell through the doorway where the stairs had collasped. He apparated himself down there with a POP and used a water spell to make his way through. He soon found out that water didn't work very well because the explosives were made with very powerful magic. Gradually, he made his way through and found the unconscious body of his brother. George picked him up and apparated him and Fred to St. Mungo's Hospital.
At the entrance, the line to the welcome which went all the way towards the door. He didn't know where to go but he certainly couldn't wait in that long line-up. "George!" he heard a voice cry, it was Alicia. Of course George thought. Alicia worked at the hospital and trained to become a mediwitch. "George, what's wrong with Fred!" Alicia paniced.
"There was- a fire- at the -shop- Fred is -unconscious," George said breathlessly.
"Here follow me," Alicia said leading the twins through the crowd of people, "DR. CHANG!" she screamed.
Cho Chang was doing some research on one of her patient's injuries when her apprentice, Alicia, barged in. "CHO! THERE WAS A FIRE AND NOW FRED'S-"
Cho looked at Fred to find out what happened before Alica could finish telling it. "Come with me," she said rising form her chair and leading them to her treating room. Cho examined Fred and asked George to wait outside. "He inhaled quite a bit of magical smoke, it doesn't look all that good."
"Isn't there something you can do to save him?"Alicia asked eagerly.
"He's going to need many complicated potions, cleansing spells, and many surgeries in many different places. It won't exactly be cheap either," Cho added.
"Money doesn't matter! All that matters is that you can treat him, right?"
"Yes, but it's not going to be easy. First, get that cauldron boiling and follow the instructions for a very powerful purification spell. It's in Medical Potions volume eight." Cho instructed while performing very intense cleansing spells. Alicia followed the instructions carefully but did it as quickly as she could.
"Done!" she screamed and handed it to Cho who poured it down his throat.
"Now we need to let his body rest from those spells and let the potion take effect. Tomorrow we're going to perform surgery on his lungs." Cho stated.
"He's gonna be okay, isn't he?"
"I don't know. Much better doctors than me have tried but failed. He might not live through this but if he does, he'll need to endure alot more. Go out, tell George the news and some of his friends and family. I'll get Fred to his room, believe me, he's in for a rough night."
Alicia stepped outside. "George, he inhaled alot of magical smoke and we just performed many powerful cleansing spells and have him drink a purification potion. Tomorrow he's gonna need surgery on his lungs but the surgery is known to be life-threatning. If he survives he'll need to go through alot more surgeries and were scared that he'll die during one of them. This procedure isn't going to be very cheap either."
"What?" asked George, "You mean he might not live?"
"There's a possibility. C'mon lets tell Angie, she'll need to know."
Alicia and George apparated to Angelina's place since there was no telephone. They knocked on the door, "Hey you two, what you doing here. If you wanna know Katie and Lee already left. Come in, I just made dinner. You feel in the mood for pork chops?" Angelina asked allowing them to enter her flat she used to share with Katie.
Both of them kept silent not knowing how to tell her what happend. "You tell her, she knows you better," George muttered.
"Ummm, Angelina, there's some bad news," Alicia said in a gloomy voice," There was a magical fire at the joke shop and Fred passed out. He inhaled alot of smoke and right now he's in St. Mungo's after some spells and a potion. He'll need to go through alot of surgery and we're not sure if he'll make it."
Angelina dropped the plate of pork chops she was holding. "Do you mean he might die?"
"There's a possibility," George recited Alicia's words from earlier.
"Can I go see him? I have to go see him!" Angelina said not feeling very well.
They apparated to St. Mungo's and Alicia led Angelina to the room where Fred was staying. "Don't be too hard on him, he's in for a rough night," Alicia warned.
"Alright. Can me and Fred have a moment alone please?" Angelina asked.
"Course," Alicia answered.
While Alicia and George sat outside they thought about alot of things. "Alicia, where am I going to live? I mean, I lived on top of the joke shop and now my house and job are gone." George thought aloud.
"George hun," Alicia said taking his hand and squeezing it, "You can always count on me. Why don't you stay at my place until you have enough money to get back on track. You don't have to pay any rent." She still held his hand because she thought that was what good friends do and George needed all the friends he could get at the moment.
"Thanks," he replied and squeezed her hand as well, "I'll pay you back and I'll help you all I can if you get into trouble." She smiled back at him in a silent thank you. Then she leaned in for a hug, it might not have been a kiss but it was just wonderful for that moment.
"George, you wanna maybe shower or something? It'll make you feel better," Alicia suggested.
"Thanks," was all he answered.
Alicia's place wasn't the most cheerful home at the moment. She had rented a little apartment on top of a robes shop. The shop itself was so big that the owner was able to fit an apartment at the back and had rented the top floor to Alicia. When you walked in on the right you could see a little open kitchen, a bookshelf, a sofa and recliner and a fireplace you could travel by floo powder in. Behind the kitchen was door that was were Alcia kept some canned foods and where she washed her clothes. On the right was a line of three doors. The first two were bedrooms and the last on, at the back, was a bathroom
When George was done showering he walked out and saw Alicia doing something in the kitchen. "Here," she said putting an egg and ham sandwich on the counter in front of a high stool, "You want some hot chocolate?"
"Okay, thanks," was all he could say.
"I asked Mr. Anmark, the man who owns the shop below, if I could buy some robes and pajamas for you. I told him about the fire and how you lost eerything." she explained and pointed towards a pile of clothes on the sofa, "Save your money, you'll need it for Fred."
"Okay," he said again.
"It's been a tough day, I'm going to bed. When you're done just put the dishes in the sink and soak it with some water. I'll wash it in the morning." With that she walked towards the bathroom to brush her teeth.
George finished with his meal and washed the dishes so Alicia wouldn't need to do them. He picked up the clothes and pajamas and walked to his room with them. He put on some fresh underwear and put on the pajamas. He lay in bed and thought. He was finally going to live with the women of his dreams so why wasn't he happy? I miss home he thought. He remembered helping Alicia move out of the flat she shared with Angelina and Katie to get closer to work. Soon his mind drifted back to Fred. He's going to be okay, he's very strong he told himself. The question was, why wasn't he convinced?
A/N Wasn't that a cute little chapter? I'm sorry if you're sad because you think that Fred might die. To tell you the truth, I'm making this up as I go so if I feel like making him die, he might die. Anyway we'll start off the George and Alicia stuff next chapter so wait patiently. I hope this chapter was long enough, I've been trying to fill it up. Now press that button and tell me what you think.I have about 1 1/2 weeks of school left but if you review enough I might update sooner. Well it's almost 12 and I have a tummy ache
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
