crashing down // Fred Weasley

What Order?

Fred and Sophie had just entered the house again by the time Molly had started preparing their dinner. So as quietly as possible they snuck through the kitchen, as she had her back turned and into the living room. Sophie took her seat again next to Ginny who had moved from making chains to reading a book 'Gilderoy Lockhearts guide to household pests'.

"Reading that for?" Sophie asked peering over her shoulder. "What are garden gnome's?"

"Little gits out in our back garden." Scoffed George who had replaced Harry, playing wizards chess with Ron.

"Yeah they really are pests." Ron laughed.

"Fancy helping me get rid of them tomorrow." Ginny asked closing the book.

"Sure." Sophie nodded. "How hard can it be."

"Oh hard." Fred sniggered. "Good luck."

"They're here." Harry said bluntly walking down the stairs. "Just apparated right out side."

And he was right, because moments later two tall men entered through the front door, glued to each others side with huge grins of their faces.

"Hello." One of them beckoned. This one was the smallest, he had curly, long dark brown hair laying on his shoulders matched with a neatly done moustache. The other one didn't speak, just smiled as Molly came into view from towards  the kitchen. He was taller then the other, he had short brown hair, with a hint of grey. Like Bill he had scars all over his face, not looking nearly as fresh as the Weasleys did, his eyes blue as the summer sky looked over to Sophie and nodded, she politely returned his greet.

"Dinner will be ready in 10 minutes." Molly said. "Till then, make your self at home."

"Sirius." Harry smiled wrapping his arms around his torso and hugging him deeply for a minute once they had released each other Harry looked over to his sister and nodded for her to come over. "This is-"

Harry started but Sirius cut him off. "Sophie." He smiled wrapping her into a bone crushing hug. "How's school?" He asked letting go.

"Great actually." She smiled.

"Remus can i have a word." Harry butted in completely ignoring Sophie staring at him.

Lupin just looked between the siblings confused at the tension going on. "Er." He hesitated. "I would love to Harry but i really need to talk to Arthur." He scratched the back of his neck before walking off rapidly into the kitchen where he greeted Bill and Arthur.

"What was that about." Sirius laughed.

"Nothing." Harry muttered.

"Is it so impossible for me to know something that you dont't?" Sophie asked with crossed arms. "Why can't you just let me talk to him."

"Because." He started but stopped himself quickly sneaking a glance at Sirius as if to say 'not here'. But they never got the chance to talk privately as Molly invited them all into the kitchen for dinner.

"So." Arthur clapped as they all took a seat at the table. Two extra seats had been placed on it's side. Arthur sat at the head while Bill sat beside George, who was next to Fred who had sat next to Sophie. Ginny, Harry, Ron and Molly sat facing them whilst Remus and Sirius sat at the opposite end. "What've you two been up too?" He said smiling up at the guests.

"Well i've been looking for work and." Remus started.

"Hiding." Sirius furrowed his brows. "Still."

"Surely they'll clear your name soon." Molly said sweetly.

"Yeah you'd think." Sirius growled. "Still think I'm working with those daft death eaters."
