George bounced in his seat. His fingers tapping the desk in front of him. Fred sat in a desk next to his brother. The twins were seven. Molly was trying to teach them some basic maths skills. Fred had started working on the problem she'd written on the small chalk board. George, however, was doing everything but. So far, he'd gotten up twice, lost his chalk three times, used the tablet as a hat, and now he was bouncing in his seat using the desk as a drum.

"George, please sit still and work out the problem."

"But...I'm trying," George stated as Fred started on the second one that had magically appeared once he got the first one right.

"Maybe it you would sit still," she said softly. None of her other children had been this bad. Percy had sat perfectly still doing his work. She didn't understand why George couldn't focus.

"I'm done," Fred announced. Molly sighed watching as George fought to sit still and do his work. She heard Ginny yelling upstairs at Ron.

"Fred, George, stay right here. I'm going to go check on your sister." The twins nodded.

The minute their mom was out of the room, Fred turned to George.

"You've got this, Georgie," he stated. George frowned.

"You did it all already. There's a fly over there, and a spider in the corner." Fred nodded. He knew George noticed things like that.

"Yes, there is, and there's a maths problem in front of you that won't solve itself," Fred added. "Make it a game, George. What do the numbers do?"

"Go together."

"So what happens then?"

"I get a new number." Fred nodded. He didn't notice Molly had come back downstairs and was watching the twins from the doorway.

"See this is what mum was trying to teach us." George nodded, tapping his fingers against the desk. Fred ignored his brother's movements and continued to help with the maths problems.
