A/N: There is one more chapter in the works before I bring Perceptions to an end. The sequel is called Changing Desires and I'm hoping to have it posted shortly after the final chapter of this book. Of course it is nowhere near complete, but the first few chapters are done.

Chapter 20: Holiday with the Wheezes

Summer Holidays started out lovely with warm weather, lots of sun and of course the loud, enthusiastic atmosphere that was always the Weasley home. All the occupants, save one, were rushing about busily, Molly was cooking almost constantly, Arthur was busy at work, the twins were flooing back and forth from their store to the house moving their things to the flat above the store. Ginny was practicing Quidditch or helping Molly, and then there was Ron.

Ronald Bilius Weasley spent the first week of summer holiday cloistered in his bedroom, the door locked to prevent anyone from barging in. If his family had bothered to check they would have heard the scratching of quill on parchment, obnoxious muttering and loud curses. Ronald Weasley was working on something.

"Well thats the last of it" George said, brushing his hands over his tattered jeans as he surveyed the small flat. Once they got their home organized they could begin to set up the shop.

"I had no idea we had so much stuff" Fred added, looking over the multiple boxes as well as the massive pile of food had prepared for them which was currently under a stasis charm to prevent it from going bad.

'Thank Gods for magic" The two said at the same time, with identical swishes of their wands objects flew pell-mell about the room, settling into their proper places. Furniture seemed to 'walk' to where it belonged, clothes folded and put themselves away, picture, cutlery and other miscellaneous goods also placed themselves in their designated areas.

"Much better" Fred said, flopping down on the couch and looking at George.

"We're going to need some help setting up the store" George said, giving his twin a sly look, "Why don't you owl Draco and see if he and Adrian might be willing to swing by tomorrow?" He asked curiously, watching his twin's cheeks tinge red at the mention of his crush.

"Yea, I'll do that" Fred said in a strangled tone as he quickly went over to a desk drawer and hastily pulled out some parchment and a battered quill. After a few moments of agonizing what to write, he finally penned a quick invite before summoning his and George's owl, Marauder, and handing him the letter.

"Take this to Draco Malfoy at Malfoy Manor" He told the lovely bird and watched, in awe, as Marauder spread his silky wings and disappeared out the open window.

"He's much cleaner then Errol is" George commented, "With Errol you'd be cleaning up a whole mess of feathers"

"Hmm?" Fred murmured, a dazed expression on his face as he turned and glanced at his twin who was suddenly fighting not to laugh.

"You got it bad Freddie"

Hours later as Fred was setting out the homemade stew Molly had made for the twins, the handsome owl reappeared through the window a letter tied elegantly to his leg. Holding it out the bird waited patiently while Fred hastily untied it before giving the owl a treat and dismissing him.

"What's it say?" George asked as he reappeared carrying two bowls and began to dish up the food.

Fingers trembling, Fred carefully unfolded the parchment, marveling at the quality of it for a moment, before reading the quick note.

Dear Fred,

Of course Adrian and I would love to come by and help set up your shop tomorrow.
We will floo in around ten or eleven depending on how long it takes to convince Father that Adrian will be perfectly safe around you two "miscreants' .

See you soon,
Draco

"They're coming" Fred said, folding the parchment back up, unable to hold back the large smile that soon split his features.

Laughing, George handed his twin a bowl and the two soon settled down, eating and conversing animatedly about the shop and everything else that entailed.

Harry sighed, reading the letter from Ron again before handing it over to Hermione.

"I think he's losing it" He said, his tone a bit monotone as he thought of his best mate.

"I mean, he doesn't even make any sense, just rants about the Malfoys, the twins and then invites us over for the weekend" Harry said uncertainty as he looked at his best female friend.

"Perhaps we should go then, maybe we can talk some sense into him" Hermione said gently, folding up the ink spattered parchment.

"Besides, he says that he's going to the twins store to help set up" She waggled her eyebrows, "I really want to see the shop" She added.

"Fine, fine we'll go" Harry laughed, he too, wanted to see WWW.

Grinning madly for a moment, Hermione quickly penned a response to Ron and sent it off with Pig who had been darting about the room hooting madly.

"I'll tell my Dad" Harry said, jumping up and rushing downstairs to inform their parents of the subsequent sleepover. Reappearing moments later, giggling, the boy informed his friend that Remus and Sirius also wanted to see WWW and would 'escort them' their in the morning.

Laughing at the thought Hermione left Harry's room, heading to the guest room to prepare for the night and good to bed, she had a feeling tomorrow wouldn't be all fun and games.

Malfoy Manor:

"Are you sure it's safe?" Lucius asked his twins, his eyebrow raised as he thought of Adrian and Draco spending the day with those insane Weasley twins.

"It's perfectly safe Father" Draco reassured, "Once the twins apologized we actually made good friends with them" He added, as Adrian nodded feverently, "Please?" Draco murmured as Adrian turned massive grey-blue puppy dog eyes on their father.

Lucius sighed, glancing helplessly at his wife whom just shrugged.

"Fine, you can go" He relented, "But if Adrian begins to feel tired or anything you're to come straight home" He added as both twins nodded excitedly.

"Thanks Dad" Adrian said, giving Lucius a quick hug before Draco also hugged the stern Malfoy patriarch.

"Behave" Narcissa added as the watched the floo spring to life and both of their children, Draco then Adrian, were eaten by the flames as they were carried off to the Weasley's new joke shop.

"Well what shall we do today?" Narcissa asked her husband, rising elegantly from her seat and looking at him.

"I don't know about you my dear, but I have a feeling a visit to Diagon Alley is in order, I seem to have forgotten a few potions ingredients last time I was there" Lucius said, a devious smirk on his face. Narcissa arched an eyebrow and then laughed, "Of course you did, conveniently the Apothecary is located right across from the Weasley's store"

Cackling madly for a moment, Lucius offered his wife his arm and the two apperated away, landing in one of the designated points in the bustling alleyway.
