OH GOD I'M SO SORRY~! I know, I know, it's been SOOO long. It's just...I've been busy for school and rarely had time to work on this chapter! Yeah, I have SCHOOL. Summer vacation in my country is over, how sad. Ah, whatever! So the point is, I didn't have enough opportunities to continue, yadda yadda yadda...damn excuses. Okay, how about this...I'M JUST SO FREAKING SORRY!
Note: I revised the fifth chapter. Be sure to check it out first! Oh, and did you notice I changed the summary? :D
The car slowed as it reached the front garden of the Burrow. Ginny was staring at the window most of the ride, and now her nose was pressed against the glass.
''Careful, Gin,'' said Fred. ''Wouldn't want to lose your nose now, would you?''
His little sister stuck out her tongue. A moment later, a small figure emerged from the door, running toward the vehicle. As it grew closer, the passengers realized it was Molly Weasley. The car came to a complete halt before she could reach it. Ginny quickly opened the door and hugged her mother. Ron followed. The driver helped the twins carry the trunks into the house before leaving.
''Now,'' said Molly, ''how about you all get ready for dinner? I made roast pork.''
Ron, who was plopped down on the sofa, whooped. He ran up the stairs to his room to change, Ginny sprinting after him. Their mother returned to the kitchen, leaving the little devils in the living room.
''Come on, then,'' said George, nodding at the Hitachiins. ''We'll show you our room.''
''Yeah,'' said Fred. ''It's pretty awesome, I must admit. Just you wait when you see it.'' He and his twin brother raced to the stairs, beckoning Hikaru and Kaoru to follow. The four pranksters stopped in front of an old wooden door with a sign that reads: Keep out if you know what's good for you.
Panting, Fred slowly opened the door, George close by his heels.
''Welcome to paradise!'' cried the Weasleys. The Japanese devils raised their eyebrows. The bedroom was far from paradise.
''Oh come on,'' said Fred. ''It'll be paradise once we make a couple changes to it. After all, we just got back from school and we're quite sure Mum wouldn't be fond of our schemes.''
''She had ten months to clean this place up, and if she found out about our plans...well, it won't be much of a celebration, we can assure you that,'' said George.
''So what are your plans?'' asked Kaoru, pacing the room.
''It's a surprise,'' the Hogwarts troublemakers chorused, mischievous smiles playing on their lips. ''Besides, we haven't even been able to buy all the stuff we need for it.''
The Hitachiin twins grinned wickedly.
''What?'' demanded Fred.
''Oh, nothing,'' replied Hikaru and Kaoru innocently.
George smirked. ''Yeah, and the sun is hurdling toward this place in particular.''
The foreigners sighed in defeat. ''Well, we're not trying to brag or anything, but we're pretty rich. Whatever you need, we can probably buy it for you.''
''Yeah?'' Fred grinned. ''Well, whatever we need costs probably a thousand Galleons. When can we do our shopping?'' His voice was heavy with sarcasm, which Hikaru and Kaoru obviously noticed.
''We dunno what 'Galleons' are, but hopefully we can exchange Yens for it.''
''I'm sure you can. When someone comes to pick you two up, make sure they bring a hell lot of money.''
The Hitachiins shrugged, sitting on the edge of George's bed. ''So what are we supposed to do now?''
''You two stay away while we change,'' Fred ordered. And with that, the Japanese devils cried ''Hai!'' and left the room. The Weasley twins exchanged glances...''Weird!''
They rummaged in their trunks for clean robes and put them on.
''So...'' began George, suddenly sounding serious.
''Hmm?''
''What do you think of the situation at hand? Don't you think it's a bit...strange that they suddenly appeared from nowhere? And why Hogwarts of all places? It's all too strange...''
''Not to mention we're willing to break the Statute of Secrecy just to aid them,'' agreed Fred.
''Say, if we really are breaking the Statute of Secrecy, wouldn't Mum and Dad disapprove of letting them stay for a while?''
Fred laughed. ''I told you they weren't Muggles.''
''Quit it! I was asking a serious question.''
''Ooh! A serious George! That's something you don't see everyday.''
George gave Fred a stern look, eventually resorting to an unspoken staring contest. Soon, a nerve near his lips twitched...then the corner of his mouth...and he was laughing.
Suddenly, the door slammed open and a very ticked off-looking Ginny appeared. ''Dinner's ready. Come down now.'' Then she stormed off.
''What's her problem?'' George wondered as he made his way down the stairs.
Before the twins even reached the bottom of the stairs, they were engulfed by the delicious scent of roast pork. The moment they arrived in the kitchen, they took the nearest seats and piled their plates with food. They were truly starving.
''Tsk tsk,'' tutted their mother. ''That's no way to act around guests. Show proper manners! And you too, Ronald!''
''Bot?'' said Ron, whose mouth was so full with steak-and-kidney pie that it was a miracle he could even make any sound at all. Molly shook her head. The kitchen door opened once more and the Japanese twins walked in.
''Oh, come and have a seat, boys!'' greeted Molly, waving the Hitachiins to the chairs beside Fred and George. ''Go on, help yourselves.''
Hikaru and Kaoru took their seats and, like gentlemen, added food to their plates gracefully. Ginny stared at them with wide eyes, completely forgetting about her roast pork which was halfway to her mouth. Ron's jaw slacked, drops of chewed pie falling to his plate. Even their mother couldn't help fixing her eyes on the Asians for a few moments.
''Oh, stop it,'' said Fred, pretending to be defensive as he wrapped an arm around one of the Japanese twins. ''They're not something you goggle at at a zoo.''
''The poor creatures,'' sobbed George, ''Always being stared at...life must be hard for them.''
Molly cleared her throat loudly, flushing slightly. ''Ron, Ginny, be polite. Staring is rude.'' The two averted their eyes from Hikaru and Kaoru immediately. ''I'm very sorry, dears, but there aren't many respectable people like you anymore. It's just nice to know that there are still proper gentlemen in this world.''
The Weasley twins choked on their food trying to stop themselves from laughing. Molly glared fiercely at them.
''So, may I know exactly the story of why you need a place to stay?'' Molly inquired. ''Not that I don't want you over for the summer, it's just that I was wondering why you wanted to come so early.''
Sensing danger, George quickly exclaimed ''Mum, give them a break! They've really been through a lot. Can't we talk about this some other time?''
''You do know you can't avoid this question forever?'' Molly raised an eyebrow.
''Something wrong?'' came another voice. Arthur Weasley took the chair beside his wife.
''Oh, nothing. I was just trying to get a few details about our guests.'' The light of the household smiled at Hikaru and Kaoru.
''Ah, yes,'' said Arthur. ''I was wondering...well, we didn't have time to talk at the train station since we couldn't let the car wait. So, um, we don't really understand the meaning behind...uh, when Fred and George said you were lost or something and had nowhere to go, what exactly did they mean by that?''
Hikaru and Kaoru exchanged glances. Ron and Ginny looked at them curiously.
''It's not really something we talk about in front of little kids,'' said Fred.
''I see...'' said Arthur softly.
Ginny slammed her fist against the table. ''You never let us know anything!''
''Ginny, this is none of your business!'' Molly scolded.
''But Mum, we're not 'little kids'! You should let us in on important things, even if it's not as important as some secret Ministry project!''
''Y-Yeah!'' Ron agreed, mouth full of roast pork.
''Ginny, Ron, please,'' Arthur began. ''Do not meddle.''
The two youngest redheads silently accepted defeat. Ron was quite content with simply filling his stomach, but his little sister had a sour face all throughout the meal.
Suddenly, the kitchen door opened once more and a disgruntled Percy Weasley came in.
''I was wondering when you'd show up, Mr. Heartbreaker,'' teased Fred. Percy looked taken aback. Clearly he did not expect his brothers to know about his little incident with his girlfriend.
''Been working on your How to Kill a Woman's Feelings book?'' said George.
''Shut up, you two,'' snapped Percy, taking the farthest seat from his bothersome brothers.
''Oh, don't be so down. I'm sure 'Penny' will send you a token of her appreciation for crushing her insides.''
''Probably a jar of tears as humongous as your head.''
''I SAID SHUT UP!'' Percy bellowed.
''Stop it, all of you,'' ordered Molly.
They ate dinner in silence until Ginny cleared her plate and went to bed. ''Good night, Mum, Dad,'' she said, not bothering to bid good night to her siblings.
''I'll be off now too,'' said Percy. He washed his plate and went upstairs.
When Ron was gone, and all the dishes have been cleared, Arthur turned to the pair of twins. ''Now, what were you saying?''
The Hitachiins cleared their throats and started explaining the bizarre events of the day. When they were finished entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's questions, Molly spoke up.
''So...you mean to tell us that you come from a Muggle school, touched some 'poltar' or whatever you call it, got Apparated to Hogwarts, and were took in by our sons?''
''Pretty much,'' said Fred.
''But that's impossible!'' Molly exclaimed for the umpteenth time. ''You are supposedly Muggles, you cannot enter Hogwarts!''
''Supposedly,'' Arthur intruded. ''Supposedly Muggles...''
''Arthur?'' Molly said softly. ''What are you suggesting?'' Fred and George leaned forward excitedly.
Arthur sighed. ''The charms Dumbledore put on his school are impossible to broken through by Muggles. So unless Hik — Hik — these two are magical,'' he gave up on pronouncing the names, ''they cannot enter Hogwarts' security.''
''Does that mean — '' Molly started, but Fred cut her off.
''Ha!'' he shouted with a wide grin. ''See? See? I told you they weren't Muggles!''
''Be quiet!'' his mother hissed. ''Arthur, you really think these two are wizards?''
''It's not impossible,'' said her husband. ''For the meantime, we should figure out what to do next.''
''Well, like we said, they're only staying until they can go home,'' said George.
''But how exactly are they going home?'' Molly said.
''That's the question, isn't it?'' said Fred.
''It's late, and our parents should be worried,'' Hikaru interrupted. ''They're probably sending troops to look for us.''
''Troops?'' Arthur repeated excitedly.
''Now is not the time to fascinate yourself with Muggle rubbish!'' Molly scolded.
''We still have our phones, but there's no signal here,'' continued Kaoru, taking out his cell phone from his pocket, which Arthur stared at in awe.
''Maybe we can go to a Muggle village to check if there's signal there,'' Hikaru suggested, taking out his own phone. ''I remember Fred and George talking about living near one.''
''Nice plan, only there's one tiny flaw,'' his twin said sarcastically. ''It's a freaking village!''
It took the older of the Hitachiin brothers to figure out what Kaoru meant. When he did, he sighed. ''Oh yeah. Guess that won't work.''
By that point Arthur had leaned forward. ''So what are we talking about? Cell phones? Signal? What's the connection?'' Before he could ask further, his wife slapped the top of his head, hard.
''I told you we can deal with all this riff raff later!''
''Right you are Molly,'' Arthur surrendered, rubbing the spot where she hit him. ''So, you were saying?''
Hikaru cleared his throat. ''We were saying our parents are probably sending the police to go look for us.''
''But will they find you here, far from your home?'' Molly wondered aloud.
''It's not impossible,'' the foreign redheads chorused. Fred yawned.
''Well, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen,'' said Fred. ''It's getting late, how 'bout we go to bed?''
''Yeah, sleep's good,'' George agreed, faking an unbelievably convincing yawn.
Their parents met each other's eyes and locked the contact for several moments. Finally, Molly said, ''Arthur? What do you think?''
The balding wizard sighed. ''I don't think we'll be able to do anything now. And like they told us, the pol-police? Police? Is that right? Okay, police are looking for them.'' Arthur seemed like he was looking forward to trying out the Muggle term on his own tongue. ''How bad can it be? They may be Muggles, but you can't deny they have talent. I mean, just look at all those little gadgets they have! Interesting, eh?''
''So does this mean we can go to sleep now?'' said Fred impatiently.
''We never told you to stay up with us anyway!'' Molly snapped. Then she turned ever so kindly to the Hitachiins. ''Thank you, dears. Now let me get you to your room, shall I?''
''No need, Mum,'' said George, wrapping an arm around Kaoru. He saw Hikaru shoot them a strange look. ''We'll escort them.''
His mother seemed reluctant but agreed in the end. ''Very well. Now you should all get going, it's late!''
''That's what I said,'' Fred grunted. He and George showed the Hitachiins to Charlie's old room.
''So this is where you'll be staying,'' the Weasley twins said in unison.
''We're sorry if you're not accustomed to poor people's lifestyles, but that's the way it is,'' Fred told them. ''We don't know what kind of fancy beds you sleep in, so I hope you're not the complaining type.''
Hikaru grinned at Kaoru and said something in their language, which made them both laugh their heads off like there's no tomorrow. In fact, they laughed so long it seemed utterly ridiculous. When about a minute has passed, the very weirded-out Weasley twins backed away slowly.
''Okaaayyy...'' Fred whispered.
''We'll come back when you two become sane again,'' murmured George.
Then he and his twin retreated from the room completely. It was their turn to laugh. Mental, ludicrous, and bonkers were only a few of the words they uttered while choking on all the humor in their bodies. When they have finished their laughter session, they decided to go back to the Hitachiins' bedroom. But when they did, the most disappointing yet intriguing sight possible for that moment met them: Hikaru and Kaoru sleeping side-by-side in a rather small bed with the front of their bodies facing each other. It was a usual thing for family to sleep together, but in this manner...they were sleeping like a couple. The mere thought made the Hogwarts pranksters want to puke. Which they almost did. The just covered their mouths to stop themselves from actually puking. Then they remembered the two boys in front of them were twin brothers. Both part of the same family, both boys. They shut their lips tightly while searching for a plastic bag or anything in which they can vomit. But when they did, it was a good thing they didn't have to use them, though Fred and George still felt a little sick. Just a little.
''Is this...'' began George. ''Is this...''
''What they call 'incest'?'' Fred continued for him.
''More like twincest,'' said George.
''Come on, let's get out of here. I don't wanna get infested with incesisitis.''
''What?''
''Oh, never mind!''
The Weasleys exited the room once more and headed to their own bedroom. After pulling on their pajamas, they hopped into their separate beds and swore to themselves never to speak of the scene they recently witnessed unless the time of necessity to use it against the Japanese twins comes. But it was truly hard for them to keep that promise since they were haunted by dreams about homosexual incest, and those last two words never even visited their thoughts. Was the presence of strange visitors poisoning their minds? Guess they'll find out soon enough.
Rushed, terrible ending, boring content...go on. Airihs is a bad author, and she should be punished by receiving mean reviews. So if you guys have anything to say, spit it all out. Now, while you go type all the anger and hate into your comments, allow me to spank myself with a frying pan for the next two minutes or so, please.
