AN: I do not own anything. :(
May 2th -111 days
Fred and George had a slight problem. No they had a big problem: money.
It seems that to mass produce their new product, gum that causes your hair to change colours with every bite, Colour Poppers they need money to by the main ingredient.
If you really looked at the problem it wasn't a big deal they could just get the money from their investor. It was the investor that is what the problem.
If there was one thing both Fred and George hated more than anything (except a bad prank) it was borrowing money from anyone they didn't know. And it seems that being unknown was the one thing their investor wanted.
It wasn't until Harry Bloody Potter had told them how stupid they were being that Fred and George decided to set up a meeting with their investor. That is why Fred and George now found themselves sitting in Gringotts waiting for a meeting with their investor.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Do you promise?" Ginny asked for the millionth time.
"Yes I promise to take a picture." Harry said in an exasperated voice.
"Fine just be nice to them and don't drag it out too long." Ginny said with a smile on her face.
"What are you doing today?" Harry asked as he finished his tea.
"I have a meeting today the boss has some big announcement to make." Ginny said.
"When is the nanny getting here?" Harry asked.
"She isn't. Mum said that she wanted to spend the day with her grandson. I think she wants to measure him for a tux." Ginny said rolling her eyes.
"Teddy has a tux." Harry said laughing at Ginny's face.
"Yes but and I quote it doesn't match the colour scheme. If I wasn't enjoying planning this wedding we would so be eloping." Ginny said putting her plate in the sink.
"When will your meeting finish?" Harry asked.
"It starts at ten and it should be done by eleven. I think I will leave teddy bear at my mom's for a bit longer that way I can pack for Hogwarts." Ginny informed Harry.
"Remember Gin we are only going for a week." Harry said knowing that sometimes Ginny went a little overboard.
"Don't worry I will only pack what we need. Oh shoot I still have to get dressed before I take Teddy to my mom's." Ginny said once she noticed the time.
"Do you want me to take Teddy to your mom's?" Harry asked noticing that Ginny was looking a little stressed.
"Oh Harry that would be great I am running a bit behind already. Thank you and Tell me how my brothers react and don't forget to take the picture." Ginny said giving Harry a kiss goodbye.
"TEDDY GET YOUR CUTE LITTLE BUTT DOWN HERE YOUR DAD IS TAKING YOU TO GRANDMA'S" Ginny yelled upstairs. Harry heard the sound of little feet running down the stairs.
"NO RUNNING DOWN THE STAIRS YOU COULD HURT YOURSELF." Ginny yelled up apparently hearing the running steps too.
"Sorry mommy." Teddy said once he got down stairs.
"Do you have everything?" Harry asked Teddy who was carrying a duffle bag.
"Yup," Teddy said happily.
"Ok I want you to be a good boy for mommy ok" At Teddy's nod she continued.
"Can I get a hug and kiss goodbye?" Ginny asked kneeling in front of Teddy.
Teddy gave Ginny a big hug and a wet kiss. "Thank you. Love you Teddy Bear." Ginny said.
"Love you too mommy. Bye." Teddy said excited to go.
"Come on Daddy lets go to Grandma's," Teddy said once Harry had picked him. Teddy had changed his hair to match Mrs. Weasley's red hair for the day.
"Bye Gin love you." Harry said giving Ginny one last kiss. "
Love you. And I'll pick Teddy up once the meeting is over." Ginny told Harry. Once Harry and Teddy had disappeared Ginny went up stairs to get ready for the meeting.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fred and George Weasley were getting very nervous. Their meeting was schedule for 10:00am and it was now 10:05; their investor was never late.
"Do you think he wants to pull out and doesn't know how to say it to us?" George asked nervously.
"No investors are heartless. He would have already told us he was pulling out by now." George wasn't sure whether Fred was saying this to reassure him or himself.
"Like I would believe that, I've only known you since ever. You're lying; you don't believe that for a second." George said as he looked around the bank.
As George looked around he spotted someone with black hair running in their direction. "Harry!" George yelled realizing who the person running towards them was.
"Fred George what are you two doing here?" Harry gasped, most likely due to the fact that he had been running and was out of breath.
"We have a meeting with our investor. What are you doing here?" Fred questioned Harry.
"I have a meeting with the Goblins to go over my accounts and the meeting was scheduled for ten minutes ago." The twins winced; the one thing goblins hated was people being late for meetings.
"Don't let us whole you up. You better get in there and I hope you have a good excuse." George said.
"I will go in a second I need to catch my breath. Anyway I was dropping Teddy off at your mom's for the day cause Gin has a meeting as well." Harry informed the twins.
"Harry if you had an investor that was never late once and then suddenly he was late would you be worried?" Fred asked wanting to know if their fears were reasonable.
"Oh so you listened to me. Anyway something could have held them up I wouldn't worry; it's not like they are deciding how to tell you that they are pulling out of the deal." Harry said jokingly. Instead of laughing both Fred and George paled and shared worried glance.
"Guys I was joking," Harry was cut off by a goblin telling him that they were waiting for him. Harry said quick goodbyes to Fred and George before he followed the goblin through a door.
It wasn't for another fifteen minutes before a goblin came out to speak with them. "Fred and George Weasley?" The goblin questioned.
"That's us," George said as both he and Fred stood up.
"If you will follow me please," the Goblin said and then quickly turned on his heel and went through the door behind them. It took Fred and George a few seconds for them to realize that they should be following him.
The goblin, which refused to say his name even after Fred asked, lead Fred and George to one of the offices in the bank and knocked. "They will be with you in a moment." The goblin said before leaving them.
George and Fred hadn't been waiting for more than 5 minutes when a door opened. "Mr. Weasley, Mr. Weasley I am terribly sorry for keeping you waiting. Your investor just wanted to go over a few things with us before speaking with you." said Ragnok, the head of Gringotts, as he let the twins into the office before he sat down in the chair behind his large desk.
Ragnok's words did nothing to calm the twins down; what did the investor need to talk to the goblins about without them present. "I am sure you want to know what we talked about. It seems your investor is ready for you to know his true identity." Ragnok said to the great surprise to the twins.
"When can we meet him?" George asked excited to meet the person who helped them fulfill their dreams.
"In one moment, first Griphook," Ragnok yelled. At Ragnok's yell another goblin came in; with a camera?
Before Fred or George could ask what the camera was for the door behind Ragnok's desk opened and out stepped the last person either Fred or George would think of; Harry Potter. "Hey boys," Harry said with a smirk.
Fred and George were shocked. Both Fred and George were doing their best impressions' of a fish; with their jaws touching the ground. It wasn't until a camera flashed that Fred and George closed their mouths.
"Thanks Griphook Gin is going to love this." Harry said through his laughter as he took the camera from Griphook.
"Harry you're our investor?" Fred said shocked.
Harry just nodded still laughing at their faces. Harry was unprepared for what happened next; Fred and George had pulled Harry into a hug that put Mrs. Weasley to shame and then tackled him to the ground thanking him and yelling at him for not telling them sooner.
Once Fred, George and Harry had gotten up Ragnok started the meeting. "Mr. Weasley, Mr. Weasley you called this meeting," Ragnok said wanting to get this meeting started.
"Yes we did, you see Harry we want to mass produce the colour poppers we showed you at the party." George said going into instant business mode.
Out of the two of them George was more into the business he worked on the books, the profits, and such where as Fred was the inventor. Both Fred and George came up with ideas but Fred made their dreams reality.
"Sure how much do you guys need?" Harry said. George was a little surprised normally when they went to these meetings Harry had asked a ton of questions and needed papers to show proof and what their excepted profit was.
"Um we need 50,000 gallons." George said surprising Fred who thought they only need 10, 000.
"That's fine, I just need to sign some papers but it should be fine." Harry said.
"Wait Harry how come you didn't ask for all the other stuff like you normally do?" George asked wanting to get to the bottom of this.
"Well you guys are family now so I trust you. I normally asked for all of those things so I could make sure everything is in order. I have been doing business with the both of you long enough to know that you only ask for what you need." Harry told them with a shrug.
"We really only need 10,000 gallons Harry I just wanted to see how giving you were." George said slightly ashamed for not believing his reasons.
"Oh I see would you feel better if I ask for all of that stuff now. I guess if you want I can keep it totally professional and we can act like we aren't family." Harry suggested.
"I think I like that idea. But we have to agree that the business stuff stays out of the family stuff." Fred said wanting to make sure things didn't get weird.
"Well I still want to know about what pranks you guys are working on so how about we say no money talk anywhere but in Gringotts." Harry suggested.
Fred and George quickly agreed to this and then Ragnok got out the papers for Harry to sign and gave Fred and George their check for 10,000 gallons.
"Harry how would you like for us to take you out to go get a couple drinks?" Fred asked once they were out of Gringotts.
"Maybe a quick one because Gin is excepting me home in an hour," Harry said looking at his watch.
Fred, George and Harry made their way to the Leaky Cauldron for a couple of drinks. George and Fred had closed the store for the day so they had nothing but time. When Harry went to the washroom Fred had ordered a bottle of Fire Whisky for the three of them to share. Harry point blank refused to drink anything because he didn't want Ginny to kill him when he got home but that didn't stop Fred and George from drinking the whole bottle themselves.
"TAKE ONE DOWN PASS IT AROUND 90" "NO WE ARE AT 56" "RIGHT 56 BOTTLES OF FIRE WHISKY ON THE WALL" "HOW ABOUT ANOTHER BOTTLE TOM" Fred and George slurred.
It seems that Fred and George had gone a little overboard on the whisky that is why Harry Potter was now trying to get the twins off the table and back to their home.
"FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY GET DOWN" Harry yelled over the noise. Fred and George just kept on singing it wasn't until Harry threatened to tell their mother that they let Harry take them home.
"Who gets piss drunk at 12 in the afternoon?" Harry said with a shake of his head once they made it to WWW.
"Oh lighten up Harry" "Ya somewhere in the world it is after 6" The twins said in the twin talk.
"Idiots" Harry mumbled to himself before he left with a crack.
When Harry arrived home he was greeted by an excited Teddy. "So did you have fun at Grandma's?" Harry asked as the two of them went to met Ginny in the kitchen for a late lunch.
"Ya I did. Grandma let me bake cookies with her." Teddy said happily. As Harry and Teddy made their way to the kitchen Teddy rambled on about what he did at his Grandma's.
"And then Grandma said I looked very handsome." Teddy said as he puffed out his chest proudly.
"Yes you are a very handsome boy." Ginny said from her spot at the table.
"Hey Gin how did the meeting go?" Harry asked after he gave Ginny a quick peck.
"It went really well. Apparently being your fiancé and writing a quidditch column has perks." Ginny said almost as excited as Teddy when he talks about anything really.
"And what would those perks be?" Harry questioned.
"Guess who gets to commentate your next quidditch game?" Ginny squealed. It seems Ginny had wanted to tell Harry this since he walked in the door.
It took a minute for Harry to understand what Ginny said but once he did he gave her a huge hug. "Congrats Gin I think you will do amazing. Plus you can advertise your column. Hmm what will we do with Teddy maybe Ron can come and watch him?" It was now Harry's turn to start rambling.
"Harry Harry... First off we can worry about it after we get back from Hogwarts the match isn't until June 14th so we have time. And second I would never leave my child with Ron, the quidditch maniac, at a quidditch game. Teddy would be hurt or something terrible." Ginny said while Teddy laughed at the idea of going to a game with his Uncle Ron.
"Oh please mommy can I see daddy play wif Uncle Ron?" Teddy pleaded.
Harry had to cover up his laugher while Ginny explain to Teddy why his Uncle Ron wasn't able to take him to a quidditch game.
Harry seeing that Ginny and Teddy were getting nowhere decided to pull out the photo of the twins that Griphook took for him. Soon the little family was talking, laughing and enjoying their time together.
