Sloth: Ok, I don't know why, But I'm not one of those guys who take forever to put the characters up in a bad situation. It was so boring trying to come up with multiple chapters of Harry and company working at a joke shop when we all now they're just going to be spotted sooner or later. I put five days later :) Sorry if it's rushed, I feel it was rushed. But it's just in my nature to get to the point.

Oh, a little heads up, I put in some clues for another twist. My challenge is to see who can spot it.

Enjoy.

"I hate kids."

"Red, half of these kids are the same age as you."

"….I hate kids."

Autumn rolled her eyes before returning to the register. They had just opened a second Weasley Wizarding Wheezes in Hogsmeade the day before. Word got out quickly and before they knew it, they were crowded with Hogwarts students. Fred and George were right when they said that the students would come flocking. Apparently their products were very popular when the twins were in Hogwarts and students couldn't wait to buy some. At the moment, Autumn and Red were working while Raven went to get a new product the twins had invented and Bleach went to get food. She was working the register while Red went around restocking or helping people. The four of them quickly realized Red did not like third years at all.

She had to admit, this job was a lot more fun than they had first though. The Weasley twins were geniuses. They had so many amazing products, like their firecrackers and Extendable Ears. She enjoyed learning about the different gags and what they did. Although the boys just like setting some of them off. In fact, they had almost got shut down yesterday because Bleach set off a Dragon Whizzer. Had Fred and George not said it was a publicity stunt, they could have been shut down for sure. After finishing with her current customer, Autumn looked up at the entrance. Her face fell at the sight of four young students. She recognized them as the same four that ate at The Potted Blossom last week.

"See, I told you this would cheer you up," the tall, bulky one told Raven's near identical copy. The boy shrugged and the young blond girl pulled him in another direction.

"Come Nicholas. I'm sure they have something interesting over there." The girl said, pulling Raven's twin towards Red. Autumn prayed Red's temper would stay in check. He never liked Raven's family. He said that if they hadn't been focused on their "savior" Raven would have had a better life. Even though Raven said he was fine with where he was now, Red's protective instincts still made him violent against the Potters. Hell, the reason he didn't want to leave a tip was because "Lily didn't diverse it".

"Excuse me miss," she turned to see the bulkier boy. "How much is this?"

"Oh, five sickles," she replied as she inwardly prayed Red took his potion this morning. God help them if he didn't.

Red had just gotten done stacking some products when a blond and Raven came over. He was about to question his friend when he noticed Raven wasn't wearing glasses and his eyes were hazel. His eyes narrowed. If only he hadn't agreed not to violently assault anyone or to pull out his sword. Although that didn't mean he couldn't imagine it. As a cartoonish image of him chasing Nicholas Potter with his sword formed in his head, the blond started speaking to him.

"Excuse me, but do you have any Nargles?"

He stared.

"The hell are those?"

"Sorry about that," Nicholas stared, "that's just Luna's way of greeting people."

"That's an interesting greeting." He replied, trying to be pleasant. "So are you here to buy something or what?"

"Oh, we're just looking." Luna said. Red tried to hide the scowl.

"Loitering's illegal."

"What? No it isn't."

"Well it should be. People come in, come out, never buy a bloody thing. We're not a sodding art gallery. " Red stormed off to the other side of the shop, muttering about no good pure-bloods.

"Well he was a ball of sunshine." Nick remarked. Luna nodded in agreement before her ADD kicked in.

"Oh look, Pygmy Puffs. You know they sing on Boxing Day."

"Here you go. Four cheese burgers, butterbeer floats, and fries. It'll be a moment before your pie's done though."

"That's fine.

Lily handed Bleach the special take-out box. He handed her ten gallons in exchange.

The Potted Blossom had quickly become the number one eating establishment for the Four Blurs. Even Raven had admitted to enjoying the place. However the boy refused to go alone or without a disguise. Not that it mattered really since Petunia Evans had announced they would be doing take out now. The restaurant was growing quickly in popularity despite last week's fiasco. Although Lily did cover the place with so many wards he was surprise the place was still standing. And better yet, Lily didn't recognize him with his charmed cap on.

It was something they had gotten from Fred and George as the first week's payment bonus. Their caps had all been charmed to give them different appearances. As long as they wore them, they wouldn't look completely different to other people. Still, they could help but feel the twins were trying to keep them at Hogsmeade because the hats only worked in Hogsmeade. Raven, the unofficial leader he was, told them to keep an eye for those two.

"It's lovely the twins decided to put up another shop." Lily said, trying to start up a conversation while they waited. Bleach took this opportunity to get some more info on the twins.

"Really? Why's that?"

"Well, they've always been the little entrepreneurs. It also gives them something to work on besides the Order. I know their mother would want it that way."

"Why?"

"Oh, it's not my business to tell." Bleach nodded. At least he knew Lily wasn't a gossip like her sister.

"Can you tell me anything about the twins though? Like, what were they like in Hogwarts."

"Well, they're pretty much like how they are now. Happy, always playing jokes on people. They actually taught my husband a thing or two and James was the 'king of pranksters' in his day." Lily said, rolling her eyes at her husbands' title. "Have they not told you much about themselves?"

"No actually. They've been real busy with stuff."

"I see. Well, if you want to know more, there sister actually works for us." She pointed over to the young red head that was finishing up with a customer. "Her name's Ginny. I warn you though; she's inherited her family's temper."

"She looks young to be working here. Shouldn't she be in school?"

"Again, that's not my place." There was a ringing and Lily perked up. "Pie's ready." She walked over to the pie oven on the back counter and pulled out a freshly hot pie. After using a cooling charm, she cut a slice and placed it in a box that she handed to Bleach. "Here you go. Enjoy."

"Thank you Mrs. Potter."

"Please, call me Lily." She offered before he left. As Bleach left the restaurant, Ginny came over, putting an empty tray onto the counter.

"It sure is busy today."

"You can thank you brothers for that," Lily joked. "More kids have been coming in thanks to their new shop."

The younger red head laughed.

"Well thank you Fred and George. You know I've been meaning to go check it out. I'll probably do it during my break."

"Well why wait dear?" Petunia asked as she came over and set down her own tray. "You can take your break now."

"That's a great idea Tuny!" cutting another slice of pie, Lily handed it to Ginny. "You can eat this while you're at it. Nothing like one of Petunia's strawberry kiwi pies to brighten up the day."

"Are you sure? There are an awful lot of people here."

"Oh go Ginny before we're resorted to firing you if it means you'd get a break. You've been working much too hard lately. Perhaps it's time to hire another person Lils."

"Hmm, maybe you're right Tuny. Maybe a boy that we can later match Ginny with."

At the mention of being paired with someone, Ginny covered her ears.

"Ahh, alright, alright I'll go take my break." Grabbing a fork and the pie, Ginny left, leaving the two women laughing. They sighed as they watched her go.

"It's about time she's taken a break. She works too hard." Lily said, concern in her voice.

"Probably trying to fill that void in her heart. I remember what it was like losing a sibling. Did everything I could to fill that void, even to the point of marrying a no good husband. It's only worse when she's lost her magic and her mother's not all there."

"Tuny…"

"Well, enough talk. We've work to do. Maybe we should get the boys to help once in a while."

"Ha! That'll be the day."

.

"You look like crap."

"Shut up Blondie."

Raven shook the soot off his head. He had returned from Fred and George's workshop where the twins had been testing a new product. The product was apparently supposed to make steam. Their idea was to put it in a room and create your own little steam room. It worked at first, until it started smoking and firing soot out instead. When they had managed to control the thing, it looked like a volcanic blizzard had occurred. At least he managed to get the original product he had gone there for.

"What did you get?"

"Apparently it's a teddy bear that transfigures itself into a spider when hugged."

"For Red?"

"For Red."

They both sniggered at the memory of the first time they saw Red with a spider. They had been sleeping in the orphanage when the red head starting screaming. They had been confused at why he was jumping on his futon, trying to crush something on it. He gone on and on about a horrible monster and how it needed to die. When Raven had discovered the whole thing transpired because of a garden spider, he wet himself laughing. Ironically that was also the first time he found out Red had a good left hook.

"Good times." Bleach laughed. Raven nodded and smiled.

"Here's hoping it stays that way."

They were both about to enter the shop when a flash of red caught their sights. Looking over, they saw Ginny making her way towards them whiles he ate some pie. But that was only the first of a major problem. Another red head appeared. This one was a plump aging woman who looked like Ginny. The young girl was taken back at the sight of the woman and gave her a hug. It dawned on the boys that this was Molly Weasley. They had heard that the woman rarely left her home, and to see her right there, with Ginny, turning towards the shop, the boys' faces went pale.

Panicked, they both ran into the shop, moving out of the way of a third year. They needed to get Red out of there. He was already short tempered about the whole thing with his brothers. The last thing he needed was to see his sister and mom. The first time Red had saw Ginny he kept giving her the evil eye and not wanting to tip her. And he was in a good mood that day. Raven and Bleach both knew what it was like to run into someone they'd rather not see, but Red was the temperamental one. Especially during this time of the month.

When they got in, they found Autumn taking care of some costumers, but Red was nowhere to be found. They ran over to their female companion.

"Autumn, where's Red?"

"In the back room why?"

"Ginny and her mom are coming!"

"What? Why?"

"I don't know, maybe because this place is called Weasley Wizarding Wheezes. They must think they'd get a discount or something."

"Or that Fred and George might be here."

"Well the only Weasley here doesn't want anything to do with his own family," Autumn said. "We've got to act fast….uh, uh…Bleach go distract them, Raven go lock the back room."

"What about you?" the blond asked.

"Someone's got to be here and make sure nothing too terrible happens." The boys nodded and started to leave, but Autumn quickly stopped Raven. "Wait, before you end up doing any stupid, your brother's here."

"What? Why would you tell me?" Raven asked, his face turning into a slight scowl.

"Because when you get angry, you can control it, Red can't."

"Good point. Do you know if Red took his potion?" Seeing his friend shrug he sighed. "Wish me luck then." He left, but not without Autumn telling him not to shoot anyone.

As he got to the back door, it was starting to open and he had to slam himself against it, forcing Red back inside.

"Oi! What the bloody hell are you doing?"

"Uh….stay boy?"

"Raven? You lost your bloody mind of something? Open the bloody door."

"Believe it or not mate, but this is for your own good. It's only for a little while anyways."

There was a deep, animalist growl from the other side of the door and Raven knew this had not been a good day for Red. The boy must have been holding a lot of anger that would normally be filtered out by now through drinking or raiding. Since Red obviously has done any of that today, he was slowly building up like a coke bottle rocket. Someone just needed to drop the mentos in so they could watch him blow up.

"Raven, I'm very tired and your git of a brother has been rubbing me the wrong way. Now, you can either let me the fuck out or I can sick Cerberus on your pansy white ass! What's it going to be mate?"

Bracing himself for the explosion, Raven smirked. "I'm not that white."

Boom.

Before Red's explosive escape out of the back room, Bleach had managed to intercept the Weasley women, smiling broadly.

"Welcome ladies, to Weasley Wizarding Wheezes! How may I help you today?"

"Oh, such a polite boy. But we're fine." Molly said. "We just came by to see the twins. Can't be too careful with them around."

"Oh, no you can't." Bleach said, looking behind where Autumn was distracting Potter and his friends from venturing towards the backroom. "But…they're not here right now."

"Oh? They said they wanted to see me. Well I guess I best be going then…" Bleach sighed in relief.

"Oh come on mum, this is the first time you've gotten out of the house. The least you could do is stay a while. Maybe they'll show up later."

"No!" they stared at him. "I mean…Why don't you go get something to eat. You look famished."

"Well, I am feeling a little puckish." Molly said softly. She turned to her daughter, "And I did come here to have tea with you dear."

Bleach smiled proudly at his work. "Mum I'm eating pie right now. And I've been forced to take my break." He frowned.

"Well maybe you can go shopping. Over there." They stared at him, one with a raised brow and the other with a suspicious glare. "Just saying is all…"

"Why so interested in what we're going to do?" Ginny asked him. She started advancing on him and Bleach found himself walking back. The fiery girl was reminding him of Red on a bad day. No wonder they were related. "Maybe we want to just browse around. My mum's supposed to meet Fred and George here. Wonder what they would think of their employees if they found out they were bossing customers away from the shop." She was on him, standing on her tip toes to glare at him.

Yup, this was definitely Red's sister.

"Ginny dear, it's alright." Molly said, tiredly walking over to her daughter. She gently pulled the girl away from the paling blond. "I need to tell you something in private anyways. We can go to the Blossom and have a nice chat. And I would enjoy a pit of pie too. Petunia makes the best. The flavors just explode in your mouth."

An explosion rocked the shop.

"Red! You stupid boy!"

Smoke started to dissipate out of building. Raven was glad that Red had thrown a product in testing instead of using his Release spell. He pulled himself out from under the fallen door, brushing dust and soot off himself. He really needed a bath after all this. Autumn had run over from behind the counter to start yelling at the boy when she froze. Raven looked up. He followed her gaze to Red where was standing red faced. Cap missing.

"Uh oh."

"Uh oh is right! What the bloody hell were you thinking trying to lock me in there?"

"Red…"

"I've had a long day and that's how you repay me?"

"Red…"

"It's bad enough I have to work for two idiots, but now my friends want to lock me in a bloody closet?!"

"Red!"

"What?!"

Raven picked up the boy's fallen cap while Autumn pointed a thumb behind her. Right at two staring red headed women. His face paled. And he had no Instant Darkness on him.

"Oh shit."

And that's how their first day on the job went.
