The Yule ball

George smirked at Fred. "So I see you're taking Angelina to the ball."

"Oh shut up, we're just friends.", Fred said good naturedly.

"Sure...", called Lee from his trunk.

Fred gave him a pointed glare and turned back to George, "Who're you taking then?"

"Katie, but were just friends. Neither of us are big on this whole ball thing.", George replied promptly.

"Well lets just get this over with, Georgie, how do I look? Absolutely spiffing as usual?", Fred asked giving a dramatic twirl.

"Spiffing of course, dear brother.", said George making a face at Fred's and his own dress robes. Lee just stomped out of the room muttering something about "spiffing", "Angelina", "dress robes", and "dancing".

"What's up with him?", George asked.

"Oh he's just being a bitter git because he hasn't got a date to the ball. He'll cheer up once he finds out what we've been making.", Fred said glancing over at the box that held there test puking pastilles.

"That reminds me of another bitter git, Bagman. How are we suppose to get our money from him?", George replied angrily.

"I dunno George, we're just gonna have to use some "friendly incentives" to get him.", sighed Fred.

Smirking slightly George said, "Oi, you think Ron's asked Hermione?"

"Of course not… Our dear but awfully naïve little brother couldn't handle that.", Fred said, now laughing.

"Yeah", George agreed, "But he better get on it, by the looks of it Hermione's probably gonna get taken pretty soon."

"You've got that right.", Fred agreed chortling, "But I doubt it'll happen. Seven sickles they're never gonna get together?"

"You're on", George grinned, "I have faith in Ron's charming personality. Well, should we be getting to the ball?"

Fred sighed, "I suppose we should."

Fred glanced around looking for his twin and spotted him laughing with Katie at a table in the corner. Fred then looked at Angelina and as the Weird Sisters started playing he had a sudden inspiration.

"Hey wanna dance?", he asked her grinning.

"Sure!", she grinned back. And with that they got up and started dancing so exuberantly that people started backing away from them in fear of injury. After a while of dancing, Angelina went over to talk to Katie.

George walked over to Fred, "I see you two are having a fun time.", he said innocently.

"I see you two are also.", Fred grinned back. Then they suddenly spotted Bagman in the crowd. "C'mon, now's our chance!", Fred hissed. They made there way over to Bagman.

"Evening Mr. Bagman.", George said glaring.

"Yeah, fancy spotting you here.", Fred added also glaring at him.

"Errr, boys, pleasure seeing you, if you'd just excuse me for a moment…", Bagman trailed off and quickly threw himself back into the crowd. Fred and George cursed at the same time.

"We lost him!", George spat.

"That slimy git…", Fred muttered murderously. They were so angry they didn't see where they were going and bumped into Lee.

"Hey where have you been?", asked George.

"I've been dancing with Anastasie.", Lee said smugly.

"Anastasie?", Fred asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Yup, French girl, from Beaxbatons.", he said looking even more smug, "now if you'll excuse me…", he left, walking back to a beautiful girl with long golden blonde hair.

"How on earth did he manage that?", the twins exclaimed together. They both sighed, "Shall we go back to our dates then?", Fred said with a smile.

"We shall.", George said smiling back.
