A/N: Well, today is Wednesday. If you didn't know, I am in a no internet access place so I haven't been able to upload my chapters from the last couple of days. This is why; I will be updating 3, maybe 4 chapters later. Also, sorry for my rambling in the author's note last chapter.
-CONVERSATION OF THE CHAPTER-
ME: Hi Molly!
MOLLY: Hello dear!
ME: I hear you have some very exciting news to share with everyone?
MOLLY: Why yes! I do! I'm so excited!
ME: Aww! So am I!
MOLLY: Thank you!
ME: When's it going to be?
MOLLY: In the summer. We want it as soon as possible because Arthur and I are both quite worried about the group that killed those Muggles. We're worried he'll attack again and it will be worse.
ME: Yes, it's such a shame about him and his followers…
MOLLY: Yes, yes it is.
ME: Well congratulations once again. I must imagine you want to go and tell everybody the news.
MOLLY: Yes please.
ME: Bye!
MOLLY: Bye!
*Molly disappears*
ME: Aww! It's so cute! Molly and Arthur… I wonder how everybody will take to the news. Let's see… ON WITH THE STORY!
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! It has recently come to my attention that Bill Weasley was born in 1970, meaning in my story he would've been born in Molly and Arthur's 5th year. So, I have decided that Bill is going to be now born in 1972. Charlie however, was born in 1972, and Bill and Charlie aren't twins and aren't going to be. So, Charlie will now be born in 1973. They're the only differences. Percy is born in 1976 so it doesn't interfere with the story. Did you know that I work out that when Fleur and Bill got married, Bill was like 27 and Fleur was like 20? So really, I'm doing them a favour and closing the age gap. Not that I have anything against age gaps! Remus and Tonks were 12 years apart and they are awesome!
32
The prank had been successful.
The whole school had been singing their way through breakfast.
Professor Flitwick had managed to clear the smoke and goo and tried to undo the singing, but nothing had worked.
Professor Slughorn had identified the potion and had told Professor Dumbledore that he didn't have an antidote on him and that it would wear off.
2 hours had already passed when everybody stopped singing.
'Ah! Music, such a beautiful and wonderful thing!' Professor Dumbledore said. 'In celebration, let's all sing the school song!'
The teachers frowned at the headmaster and shifted uncomfortably in their seats at the staff table.
Many of the students were doing the same, except a select few, like the Prewetts' minus Molly were beaming as nothing more in the world could please them than singing the Hogwarts school song.
'Everybody stand up and pick your favourite tune!' Professor Dumbledore waved his wand and golden ribbon flew out, forming the words of the song. 'And go!'
'Hogwarts, Hogwarts, hoggy warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bold,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling.
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest, and learn until our brains all rot!'
Everyone finished at different times until only the Prewett twins were left singing in a long, shrieking opera tune.
Professor Dumbledore conducted the last few lines and when the Prewetts' finished, Gracie stood up and said loudly,
'But Professor! I don't want my brain to rot!'
The rest of the day was spent throwing fanged Frisbees and dung bombs in the hall ways at people.
It was fun until one hit Filch and they got detention.
'Detention tomorrow! My office after dinner! All of you back to you back to your common room before you hit my precious cat and take you to the headmaster!'
'Merlin, we were only having some fun.' James mumbled, once they were round the corner and out of sight.
'Miserable old git,' Sirius hissed. 'We could always go back and-'
'No Sirius. I think we've done enough pranks today.' Remus said firmly.
'Aww.' Sirius whined.
'No Sirius,' Remus repeated. 'We've already got detention now tomorrow.'
'I would like to remind you that it was actually you that threw the dungbombs at Filch.' Sirius replied.
Remus flushed red.
Shaking his head, along with Peter, James told the Fat Lady, 'Squirrel Nutty.'
The portrait swung open.
They entered the common room and to their immediate delight every single Gryffindor was talking about the prank that happened at breakfast.
'Brilliant-'
'Who-?'
'My throat still hurts-'
'OI! You 4!'
They were being waved over by Gracie and to their surprise, Gideon and Fabian.
They walked over quickly to where they were sitting. It was in a corner, where Gideon and Fabian seemed to be often.
Away from everybody else.
Or everybody else stayed away from them.
'So boys,' Gideon said as soon as they sat down and got comfortable. 'Good prank.'
'Brilliant.' Fabian added.
'Awesome.' Gracie grinned.
'Did you tell?' James demanded.
'Of course not! Have a little faith!' Gracie said, clearly insulted.
'How do they know then?' Sirius asked.
'Because we're smart.' Both of them said.
'And you asked us were the kitchens were.' Fabian said.
'Yeah and you practically agreed to be troublemakers.' Gideon pointed out.
'Getting an earlier start. We couldn't be prouder.' Both of them said.
'I helped.' Gracie shrugged.
'Yes of course you did.' Fabian said sarcastically.
'Hey! What's that supposed to mean?' Gracie said.
'Call down sis. We're just messing with you.' Gideon chuckled.
Gracie glared at them.
'Molly! Gideon and Fabian are picking on me!' Gracie yelled loudly over her shoulder.
Not even 10 seconds later, Molly Prewett ran over to them.
'Gideon and Fabian Prewett! How dare you pick on your younger sister!' Molly shouted angrily.
The twins shrunk in their seats.
'You're meant to be nice and kind to your sister and help her out! Not be horrible to her! How would you feel?' Molly asked.
'Look Molls-' Gideon began to explain.
'We were only joking-' Fabian continued on.
'Joking or not, don't do it again! How can I trust you to be nice to her now? I'm leaving at the end of the year!' Molly frowned.
'Molly we'll look after her. We promise-' Fabian said firmly.
'Yeah, fight off all the boys that ask her out.' Gideon smirked.
Sirius paled.
James snickered at him.
'And when we leave, we'll get James here to do it for us!'
And suddenly both of the twins' had an arm each around his shoulder.
Molly raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes.
'We're getting off topic. Back to picking on people, I know it was you two- maybe three- that pulled that prank this morning!'
'It actually wasn't.' the twins said together.
Gracie however, looked quite proud that she was accused.
'Am I really meant to believe that?' Molly asked.
'Yes,' Sirius said, surprising everyone and by the looks of it himself. 'We walked with them to breakfast and even sat with them. Last night we saw Gracie talking to them in the common room as well. Remus even went over to ask for help on his Charms essay.'
Everyone nodded along with his story.
'Hmm. Well-' Molly started.
'Molly dear. Are you ready to go?' Arthur Weasley came up behind Molly beaming, but also looking a bit nervous.
Now that James looked closer, Molly also looked nervous as well…
What was going on?
'Yes. Let's go. Behave.' Molly gave them one last stern look before leaving with Arthur.
Gideon and Fabian sighed in relief.
'We owe you one.' They both said. 'And you, we will get revenge.'
Both twins got up and left.
'We'll see about that…' Gracie mumbled to herself before skipping, yes skipping, away.
'Well it's getting late. We better be off to bed.'
The next day, that happened to be Easter, flew by quickly.
All it really involved was secretly eating chocolate in classes when the teachers weren't looking.
After dinner, they headed over to Filches office to see what they had to do for detention.
James never wanted to enter that office again.
The 'miserable old git' as Sirius had put it, made them clean the trophy room.
Luckily, they finished quiet quickly.
Filch reluctantly let them leave and they raced back to the common room, nursing over worked arms.
Then suddenly a very load scream was heard.
A scream that sounded suspiciously like Gracie.
'SQUIRREL NUTTY!' Sirius bellowed, pulling his wand out.
The fat lady shrieked, think she was going to curse her.
'Okay! Okay!' she swung open.
Wands out in front of them, they burst into the common room.
To see…
Gracie dancing around happily.
They lowered their wands.
Sirius rubbed the back of his neck.
James ran a hand through his hair.
Peter whistled innocently.
Remus shifted uncomfortably.
Every that had seen stared at them weirdly, they put their wands away and everyone turned back around.
'We really need to learn the difference between Gracie's 'I'm- in- trouble –help –me-please!' scream and her 'Oh- my- Merlin- something- great- just- happened!' scream. You know, so this doesn't happen again.' Remus said thoughtfully.
Gracie spotted them and bounced over.
And screamed.
Again.
'Molly'spregnantandArthurproposedan dthey'regettingmarried!' she said in a rush and for added effect, she also squealed.
'Err- what?' Peter blinked confused.
'Arthur proposed! Last night!' Gracie said happily.
'Congratulations.' Remus grinned as Molly and Arthur walked over to them.
'Thank you.' Arthur smiled.
'When's the wedding?' Sirius asked.
'Sometime in the summer. We wanted it as soon as possible. You'll all be invited of course.' Molly said kindly.
'Awesome!' James cheered.
'Oh! You can watch me Maid of Honour!' Gracie announced.
'Gracie! I thought we've been over this! You either be Maid of Honour or Godmother!'
'Godmother?' James echoed.
'Yeah. Molly's pregnant as well. Didn't you know?' Gracie explained.
'No.'
'Oh. I think I'll be Maid of Honour because you're only going to get married lots and you're obviously going to have 7 kids…' Gracie decided.
'7 kids?' Arthur paled.
'I've always wanted a big family…' Molly said wishfully.
'Let's talk about this more later Molly…' Arthur stuttered.
'So it's settled. I'll be Maid of Honour and Godmother to your second kid or something and then in a few more years you'll ask me to be Godmother to another one of your kids, and you'll have a girl a name her something beginning with 'G' to honour me! You'll also have twins, two boys with names beginning with 'G' and 'F' to honour Gideon and Fabian, who both will also be the twins' Godfather'. It's settled!' Gracie boasted.
'Well, you're getting a little bit ahead of yourself there Gracie…' Molly said softly.
'You'll see.' Gracie said firmly.
Molly smiled. 'Well, we better go and tell everyone. You were the first we told.' She left with Arthur (who was still pale).
'I'm honoured!' Gracie called out to their backs. 'But Arthur, a piece of friendly your- my- future- brother- in- law advice, you might want to have your wand and protection gear on you when you tell Fabian and Gideon! Second thoughts save your protection gear for when you tell dad!'
Gracie giggled.
'Now you boys listen,' Gracie turned to face them, arms crossed and her voice now serious (no pun intended). 'None of you 4 are allowed to have 7 kids. The whole place would be ciaos.'
Everyone seemed to take a minute and imagine what it would like to have 7 kids running around…
Each.
They all shuddered.
'See? Kids are cool, but not to many,' she boldly looked at Sirius. '5 at the most.'
She then left.
They mouthed wordlessly at her.
'Did you see that?' Sirius asked stunned.
'Yeah. Looks like she might just fancy you back mate.'
James patted Sirius on the shoulder.
A wide grinned spread across Sirius's face.
'5 kids? I think I can work with that.'
'Your 12 and you're planning kids? You're not even going out with her!' Peter protested.
'Yet. Peter. Not yet.'
James didn't think anyone in Gryffindor tower got sleep that night.
