Chapter 1:Green Tea

"Are you making tea?" Fred asked Hermione as she pulled out a mug for herself while the kettle boiled.

"Yes. Is that illegal?" She responded not in the mood for any of his or George's antics today. She had had a stressful day at work All she wanted was to sit on the Burrow's couch and drink her green tea in peace. Although peace was hard to come by in this house, she knew that. It looked like the twins were visiting today as well. Great.

"No not illegal but something I would love to get in on though." He grinned at her and adopted a pleading look on his face. She sighed and then realised maybe she could get something out of this.

"If I make you a cuppa will you promise me you and George won't prank me for the rest of week?"

"What! Me and George prank you the great Hermione Granger war hero, one third if the golden trio!" he said in mock outrage. Then grinned again "Sure but make one for Georgie too." She smiled back at him and pulled out 2 more mugs. This small task was worth 4 prank free days. She could get so much relaxing done.

"Oh! Whose making tea?" George had entered the room immediately spotting the mugs on the counter.

"Hermione and she has graciously agreed to make us some tea too." Fred replied. He moved over to his twin and whispered something. Hermione focused back on the tea finishing them off and turning round to the twins grinning faces with their hands held out expectantly. She rolled her eyes and gave them the precious tea they so desperately wanted.

The sun was setting as everyone gathered in the garden for a full-on family dinner. Harry and Ginny were sat near Mr Weasley who was at the head of the table. They were amenably chatting. The twins were sat in the middle opposite one another which was suspicious to say the least. Mrs Weasley was on the opposite end to Mr Weasley, which was convenient as she had to go up and down to the kitchen. When Hermione approached the table, Fred spotted her and beaconed her to sit next to him. When she gave him a questioning as she sat down, he leaned into her and whispered,

"You don't want to be next to George tonight." With a wink he turned back to his twin. Hermione very quickly realised what that meant and felt bad for whoever the final member of the dinner party was.

"How's is the flat search going Hermione?" Mr Weasley's voice broke her out of her retrieve. The table was looking at her.

"Good." She replied. "I found one in London for a good price in Diagon Alley." There was a round of congratulations and a we'll miss you from the matriarch and patriarch of the Weasley family. Hermione had been living with them for the past 3 months after she had finished her final year of Hogwarts. Instead of becoming an Auror like Harry and Ron, Hermione had decided to go back to the newly rebuilt Hogwarts and finish her education. It was hard given all of the memories that place held, and the recovery Hermione was trying to go through at the time. She had manged it though. Top marks and a job offer to the equality and treatment of the magical community at the ministry was what it had gotten her.

"What's for dinner?" The final member of the dinner party had arrived. Ron. Hermione and Ron had agreed not to get together after the war as they were both suffering terrible PTSD at the time. That and Ron had told Hermione that he did not feel the same way. That had hurt. Hermione had cried and cried, but she was now at the point of not felling anything but a small bit of what if when she saw him. His coat was dusty clearly, he had been on assignment today. He and Harry had a taskforce dedicated to catching rogue death eaters and any more of Voldemort's supporters. They were paparazzi darling's the press loved them. Hermione? Well the press was more interested in her personal live then what she was accomplishing.

In fact, recently she had managed to get a law passed for the better integration of muggleborns into the wizarding society. It was a big deal supported by her friends of course but also the Malfoys, Notts and Zabini's. A big feet considering who they were. The minster himself had come to personally congratulate Hermione on this achievement but the press could care less. More concerned on if she was dating Ron, Harry (which was shut down very quickly with the announcement of his engagement to Ginny) and even Draco. The Draco one was a running joke now amongst the friends.

Molly hugged Ron and answered him ushering him to sit next to George. As Ron sat down the greatest fart sound came from his chair. He turned bright red which Hermione and Harry knew all to well meant he was either embarrassed or extremely angry.

"What was that? Molly asked in her do not mess with me tone. Her eyes narrowed at the twins full of suspiciousness. While the twins looked at her with the most innocent faces they could make.

"What was what mum?" Asked Fred.

"Yeah sounds like Ronikins here needed to let out a big one!" George said his voice full of glee. The twins burst out into laughter as did the rest of the table Hermione included. Ron turned redder. Mrs Weasley was not laughing.

"Boys! When will you grow up!" She rolled her eyes, but Hermione saw her mouth twitch. Mrs Weasley could pretend to not be happy about the twins anticks but deep-down Hermione new she was glad all of her family had made it out of the war alive. Others had not been so lucky.

"I DID NOT FART!" Ron almost yelled his voice on the cusp. The twins just grinned. The table still laughing. RON got up stormed off muttering under his breath about stupid twins and that they better watch out.

"So, what was it?" Ginny's voice cut in as she had manged to get her laughter under control.

"That dear sister was the first of our new range of muggle pranks with a magical twist." George replied.

"In honour of our dear Hermione here and her recent law she got passed. We decided now was the time to launch them. Originally, we were gonna use it on Hermione, but we felt Ron was the better target." Fred continued.

"The range is called The Magical Muggle Way!" They said in unison standing up to take bows. The table clapped and congratulated the twins on their new products. They asked them what other products they were launching in the line and dinner continued int that tone for the rest of the night.

Hermione was only glad she had escaped that prank and was internally thanking the twins love for tea. It had been a lucky escape.
