A/N: The Weasley siblings meet up for their yearly tradition. I don't know how many years the tradition has been going, let's say at least three years.

Submission for:

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry (Challenges & Assignments): Speed Drabble - twirl, shoe, shoot. "The regular?", "I think I'll take a beer.", "Ooh, fancy!"

Countdown to Christmas Drabble/Oneshot Competition!: Day 2 - eggnog latte

"You made it!" George said as she walked up to her brother and gave him a large hug and then greeted the others around the table.

"You clean up pretty good, sis," Bill added with a smirk and earning a punch on the arm from her.

"I would hope so after showering for an hour after three hours of practice," she said as she gave him a twirl.

"Ooh, fancy!" George teased, admiring her long sleeved, navy blue dress over-dramatically. Her brothers around the table laughed but she knew it was all good-natured fun. She had tried to be pretty for this little get together. It had become a tradition for the Weasley siblings and she wouldn't have missed this for the world.

"So are you going to hold a chair for the lady?" Bill asked his brother from his seat.

George gave her a gracious bow as he drew out next to him, "Milady."

She smiled as she took her seat as she picked up a menu. Bill laughed, "I don't know why you bother looking when we always get the same thing. The regular?"

She smiled and said, "This eggnog latte looks interesting though, so I think I'll get this as well."

Percy just nodded and said, "I think I'll take a beer as well."

Charlie laughed and said, "Just please don't leave another shoe here tonight, Percy. You can't handle your drink."

Percy turned red as his siblings laughed around him. Drink one too many Golden Snitches and they would never let it go.

The waitress came by with the usually round of shots that Bill had already ordered. After they had each given her their second drink order, they all took one small glass, leaving the last one in the middle of the table.

Bill held his own up high among them and said, "To Fred, who always used to tell Mum when I snuck out to go flying!"

Charlie continued, "To Fred, who encouraged me to go to Romania when Mum was so against it!"

Percy said, "To Fred, who put itching powder in my bed every morning but conveniently left the soothing salve nearby"

George took a breath and said, "To Fred, who used to wake me up with his snoring every morning but I never minded!"

Ron held his own up, "To Fred, who apologized after turning my teddy bear into a spider!"

George turned to Ron, "Hey! I apologized."

Ron shook his head, "After Fred promised to shoot you in the arse with a firework."

She cleared her throat and brought the boys' attention back to the matter at hand. "To Fred, who would have loved to be here tonight to call you all pansies!"

"To Fred!" they all chorused, clinking the glass with one in the centre before downing their shot. And so continued the Weasley sibling tradition in honour of their missing comrade, Fred.
