Chapter Sixteen
The common room remained silent for a minute while everyone took in the information that had just been given to them... suddenly Sirius shouted.
"LOOKS LIKE WE'RE STAYING!"
And they all erupted into shouts and laughter! Soon everyone was hugging and cheering, laughing and in Sam's case even crying with joy...
Everything was perfect once more...
They all sat down on the couches and began talking and laughing amongst them selves...
Fred turned to Maz his ears quiet pink, he looked nervous...
"Hey Maz," He started...
"Um do you wanna go with me to Hogsmede next weekend," Fred's ears turned bright red... Maz smiled at him and leaned in closer...
"Course I do!" She said before she kissed him... When the others realized, they all sat in shock till Sirius and Remus looked at each other and put their fingers up to the lips...
At once they both started wolf whistling...
The others followed suit, until Maz and Fred pulled away both blushing madly...
Everyone was laughing once more when suddenly they heard a loud yawn from below them...
Everyone looked down at the floor to see George rubbing his eyes... He sat up...
"Oh hey guys" He said stretching... "So what'd I miss?"
They all laughed at George...it was hard to believe what a deep sleeper he was and that he could have slept through a very tense part of the evening...well that is George for you thought Harry. George looked really confused.
"Why am I always left out?" Fred laughed a little more at his brother then took pity on him
"Sorry bro but it's not our fault if you're a sleeping beauty," Fred and the others started laughing again.
Ron even fell off the couch and onto the floor.
George went red in the face and lunged at his twin. The two of them fell onto the floor wrestling.
Maz sat up straight and just watched with a big smile on her face. Sirius looked over at Remus.
"Looks like we are going to have rivals Moony," Remus grinned wickedly.
"Oh I think we can put up a pretty good fight don't you Padfoot?"
"Yes I think we can...in fact why don't we start now?" Remus caught his meaning.
"Dog pile on Fred and George!!" Everyone laughed as Sirius, Remus, Ron and Harry all piled on top of the fighting twins.
The girls all moved onto one couch to watch the spectacle from a safe distance.
"Boys will be boys," laughed Maz; Ginny nodded in agreement. Sam had that stupid smile on her face again.
"But what's better is that they are our boys," Ginny and Maz looked at her for a moment smiling.
Then they turned back and watched the boys. But soon Fred surfaced and hauled Maz into the ruckus.
"Hey Fred! Stop it I'm ticklish there!"
A laughing Sirius surfaced to claim Sam a second later.
"If memory serves Sam you are ticklish too," he laughed wickedly as she protested.
"No...no come on this isn't fair," she laughed as Sirius and Remus pounced on her tickling her all over.
Ginny watched from the couch smiling but she couldn't help feeling a little sad she wasn't a part of it.
Just then Harry with his glasses askew and Ron came up and crash tackled her to the ground.
"Don't think you could get away with not joining in little sis," Ginny laughed along with the others, they were all happy, together and having so much fun.
She wondered what Hermione would think when she heard the news.
Right now everything just felt right...
