Also we don't own Harry Potter or its characters.
Several days before returning to Hogwarts, Harry and Jamie teleported just outside the Leaky Cauldron, to meet with Molly Weasley, whom was waiting for them inside, and after a bone crushing hug, Molly smiled to the twins." Good to have you at the Burrow, come now, let use the Floo Network, and get home for lunch." Molly kindly suggested, and the twins nodded in agreement, as they all headed for the fireplace.
Once at the Borrow, Weasley twins greeted the Potter twins." Finally, The New Marauders bless us with their presence." Both Weasley twins said, at the same time, making Molly look not so nicely at her sons." Now you two, I don't want any pranks played while the Potters are here, do I make myself clear!" Molly sternly said." We prank the Marauders; it is US who being prank on by them." The older twins confessed to their mom." And why is that?" Molly asked glaringly as she looked to both sets of twins." Sorry Mrs. Weasley, but they had accepted a prank war between us, and them." Harry started." And unfortunately, we are winning by one-hundred something to zero." Jamie finished with a grin." Only because they somehow keep sending our pranks back at us, and we still don't know how they do it!" Fred started." And they never had yet used one of their own pranks to prank us yet." George finished." Wow, the Weasley pranksters are finally getting what they deserved." Molly smiled down at the younger twins." Good job you two, now come on, let get you two fed." Molly congratulated, as she led the younger twins to the kitchen, while leaving the older twins in shock." NOW THAT IS NOW FAIR, how come they get praised while we get scolded?" Both twins complained, as they went into the kitchen.
Just as food was being passed around, a young red haired girl entered the kitchen." Mom, is the Potter twins here?" Ginny shyly asked, as she nervously looked around." Yes dear, I just picked them up, and here they are." Molly smiled at the younger twins." Harry, Jamie, I want you to meet my daughter Ginny Weasley." Molly introduced." Good afternoon Ginny, will you be attending Hogwarts next year?" Jamie kindly asked, as she and Harry greeted the now very shy girl." Um yes, I will." Ginny stuttered." Ginny why not sit down, since we are about to eat lunch." Molly kindly suggested, and Ginny complied, as she nervously looked down.
Lunch was not an uneventful affair, as the Weasley twins try to prank the Potter twins, by sneaking some kind of prank food on their plate, but always with a bit of wandless magic, Harry and Jamie, always got the upper hand on the older twins, by sending the food back to the older twins.
After the fifth prank played on the Weasley twins, Molly decided to put a stop to the pranks." Fred, George that is enough, why not degnome the garden, while the Potters get themselves settled in." Molly scolded, and the older twins complained, as they went outside.
Once Fred and George left, Molly turned to the Potter twins." Now what shell we do about you two?" Molly said, after a thought." I guess Jamie, you can share with Ginny, and Harry can have Ron's room for now." Molly smiled at the twins, and then sighed." It's too bad Ron is at school for the holidays, I'm sure you two would've gotten well together?" Molly suggested, as she led the twins upstairs, to show them the rooms.
In Ron's room, Harry was almost blinded by all the bright orange everywhere, from posters that showed the Chudley Cannons Quidditch players, to bed covers, and walls." Sorry about this, Ron is a big fan of the Chudley Cannons!" Molly informed, as she squinted at the brightness of the room." I should be fine Mrs. Weasley, and thanks for inviting us." Harry said, sounding like he meant it." That's good to hear, now for you Jamie, this way now." Molly said, as she gently pushed Jamie to another floor, with Harry following.
In Ginny's room, there was so many articles, about the Twins That Lived, scattered about the walls, but luckily the twins already knew Ginny is a big fan of them, since Tamara had warn Harry of her crush from the last timeline." Look like Uncle Tamara had completely changed your history, since they are about twins, and not just you." Jamie telepathically sent to Harry." You are right, many of these articles date back to 1981, and none of them is about the Boy Who Lived." Harry sent back, as he wondered how Tamara changed all the articles, and history books that he had seen, to show everyone that it was the twins that defeated Voldemort.
As the twins silently looked around, Molly was slightly embarrassed about what Ginny had about." Sorry about this, I had forgotten that my daughter is a big fan of you two." Molly apologized, as the twins looked to her." It's alright Mrs. Weasley, as long as she doesn't get too star struck, we don't mind at all." Jamie informed a very relieved Molly." Then I will leave you two to get settled down, and later we'll decide what to do, for the remainder of your holidays." Molly informed, and left the twins to unpacked.
In less then a half an hour, the twins were settled down, and went downstairs to see what Molly had planned for the day." Good that you two are done, I thought maybe you both want to head to Ottery St. Catchpole village to explore around, and Ginny can be your guide." Molly informed the youngsters, making Ginny blushed at the idea." Good idea, we love to explore." Jamie explained, as Molly smiled." Then have a nice time, and be back before five alright!" Molly warned, and the three quickly left for the village.
As the twins and Ginny walked silently walked down a long dirt trail, the twins were telepathically speaking to each other." Harry, we must break this crush she had on us, maybe it'll help with next year?" Jamie sent to Harry." You are right Jamie, but you try talking to her first, and we'll see what happens after that" Harry suggested, and Jamie nodded, as Harry walked ahead some distance.
Once the two girls were alone, Jamie spoke to Ginny." Hey Ginny, you don't need to be shy with us, we are just as normal as you and your family." Jamie started, as they continue walking." Even almost the whole school already stopped seeing us as The Twins who Lived, which is really a stupid title if you ask me?" Jamie shaking her head at the mentioned title." Why it is so stupid, you did after all destroy He Who Must Not Be Name and that made you both famous." Ginny asked, as she looked shocked at what Jamie just said." Fame isn't everything Ginny!" Jamie started with a sigh." Just think for a second, both Harry and I lost our parents that night, and even though we barely knew them, do you think we would want to be reminded of their deaths, every time when we hear that title, or the reason behind that title." Jamie finished, as Ginny gasped." You both don't really like being famous do you?" Ginny asked, as Jamie shook her head." No, you see many people who read about the Twins who Lived would sometime see us as icons, or saviors, that they need to worship or other such nonsense." Jamie started as she sighed." We don't want to be treated that way; we just want to be treated like any other normal person or child in our case." Jamie informed Ginny, whom now was lost in thought. "Then would you mind being my friend, I promise I won't go shy or anything!" Ginny firmly said, as she blushed a bit." Then lets start over again, and introduce ourselves." Jamie started, as she stopped before Ginny, with her hand towards her." Hi, my name is Jamie Potter, nice to meet you." Jamie pleasantly said." And my name is Harry Potter, happy to know you." Harry smiled, as he also stepped up to Ginny." Hi, my name is Ginny Weasley, nice to meet you both!" Ginny smiled brightly at the twins, as she shook their hands." Now that settled, lets head to the village, and see what we can find." Jamie happily informed, as Ginny led the way.
The snow covered Ottery St. Catchpole was a large lakeside old fashion like village, with hundreds of different types of modern boats docked or afloat on the water, and the twins was impressed." Wow, almost like we step back into time." Jamie said, as she looked about." Yes it does, but we do have some modern Muggle shops." Ginny informed, as she pointed to side of the village." Then lets go, and explore." Jamie excitedly said, and the three friends entered the village.
Half an hour before five, the twins and Ginny entered the Burrow property, each laden with packages of things they bought from the village." We should do this more often." Jamie happily said, as Harry groaned, since he was carrying a package that was heavier then the girls." Next time, you can go without me!" Harry complained, as they came across the Weasley twins." Oh goodie, guests bearing gifts." Weasley twins said, as they headed towards the friends." And where were you, when we left for the village?" Ginny asked, almost sounding like her mother." We were degnoming the garden, and we didn't see you leave." Fred quickly answered." Then you are forgiven, here a peace offering." Harry said, as he grabbed two ice-cream cones, form his package, and threw one to each of the Weasley twins." Have fun with those!" Harry said, as he and Jamie smiled, and then dragged Ginny into the Burrow." Hey, why did you give those brothers of mines ice-cream?" Ginny complained, as she went into the Burrow." Just wait and see." Jamie informed, as Molly noticed them." My word, did you buy out the village stores?" Molly asked, as she went to look into the packages." It's only some Muggle foods, and souvenirs Mrs. Weasley." Harry happily informed, as he and Jamie started unloaded their bags.
As Molly looked to see what her guests bought, the entrance to the Burrow opened, to reveal two identical but slowly melting snowmen." Please Harry, Jamie; return us to normal before we melt." The snowman begged the younger twins, as they humorously bounce up to them." FRED, GEORGE, what have you done to yourselves now!" Molly sternly asked, as she failed to hide a smile." We didn't do anything this time, we promise!" The snowman cried out to their mom, then turn to the twins." Please return us to normal, and the prank war is over and we declare you the winners!" The snowman begged." Then lets shake on it, and the war is over!" The younger twins said, as both snowman brought their arms" which is now tree branches" forward." Deal, you win, and we declare you master pranksters of Hogwarts!" The snowman said, as the four shook on it." Good, now that this war is over, we can focus on other matters." Harry informed the snowman, as he smiled." Yes, we can go back to prank the bullies!" Jamie happily informed everyone, as they headed upstairs, carrying several bags, with Ginny following.
As the younger twins disappeared up the stairs, they were quickly called upon." Hey wait, what about returning us back to normal!" Both snowmen yelled, as they tried to follow the youngsters." Oh don't worry, it will wear off, once you fully melted, which will be about an hour or two!" The twins called back downstairs, making the snowman looked to each other." Darn, if that what it took, we could've continued the prank wars till the end of the year?" Both snowmen said, just as Molly came up to them." Alright you two, OUTSIDE NOW, since I don't want you to get everything wet!" Molly scolded, and the snowmen quickly bounce their way out the door, causing Molly to laugh out loud.
In about half an hour later, an older red haired man entered the Burrow." Molly, I'm home!" The man called out, and Molly greeted him." Arthur, how was work." Molly asked as she helped put Arthur things away." Hectic, oh by the way, do you know you have two talking snowman outside in the backyard." Arthur asked, as he looked puzzled." Oh that is Fred and George; they were prank on, by the Potter twins." Molly informed her husband." WHAT? Our family pranksters, finally met their match?" Arthur questioned unbelievingly." It appears so, since I heard this been going on for a while." Molly informed, as she started on dinner, as a very shocked Arthur went to his room, to get clean up.
The remainder of the Holidays, spent practicing Quidditch, for Harry and the twins, and having girl talk between Ginny and Jamie, and thanks to this, Ginny seem to lose her shyness towards the Potter twins, and started talking openly to them, and became their best friend, by the end of the holidays.
Last days of the holiday was uneventful, and while the Potter twins was inside resting, the Weasley twins was Degnoming the garden, when a dark red hair teenage girl, wearing Muggle clothes, step up to them." Hello there, are you the Weasley twins." The young woman kindly asked, as the twins blushed." Yes we are what we can do for you." Both twins asked politely." I been hearing that you like to do pranks, and I have a prank that would top anything you might have done so far." The young woman said, as she pulled out a light blue glowing sphere from her purse." This will animate anything, once the sphere absorbed into it." The young woman started, as the twins looked interested." And once it is absorbed, you'll be able to control it, and make it do anything you ask it." The young woman finished." What can this animate?" Fred asked, as he looked at the glowing sphere." For an example, the suite of armors, that is lined in the hallways of your school, just one of these spheres, will put all the suits of armor in the hallway under your command." The young woman informed, making the twins smile widely." This will be great, and thanks." George quickly said, as he took the sphere, and for awhile both started talking about the uses, before looking back at the woman, but she disappeared." That is odd, where did she go?" Fred asked, as he quickly looked about." Never mind her, we can use this at the end of the year, to do a prank that would end all pranks, and not only that, we can get the upper hand on the Potter twins." George informed, as he put the sphere away, and they again started on Degnoming the garden.
Unknown to the Weasley twins, during this time neither notice, two set of eyes watching them from the top windows." This will be great, they will not suspect anything till they use that sphere." Jamie grinned as she looked to her brother." You are right, and we'll get the last laugh at the end of this school year." Harry grinned back, and they started finishing making plans for the sphere, which they had giving the Weasley twins.
