crashing down // Fred Weasley

Garden Gnomes

"Sophie." A voice whispered. "Wake up." It sang.

Sophie opened her eyes slowly and saw a familiar ginger leaning over her bed with a smile. She lifted herself out of the bed slowly and rubbed her eyes, waking herself up properly. "Why are you always waking me up?" She whined.

"Why are you always sleeping?" Ginny giggled. "You said you were gonna help me clear the garden." She smiled slyly.

"At." Sophie grunted looking over at the clock on her bed side. "10 in the morning, i don't think so." And she lowered herself back into the bed.

"Oh come on." She huffed. "I'm going to get dressed when i come back your going to be ready." And off she went into the hallway, and through to the next door bathroom.

"How does she expect me to be ready when she just took the bathroom." Sophie muttered to herself. The only solution came to her head so she grabbed her toothbrush and comb and left the bedroom sleepily and up the next flight of stairs. The girl made her way down the corridor and into the first room which read;

Fred and George

Quietly Sophie snuck into their room and again, as expected they were asleep, she walked slowly past their beds and into their bathroom. She turned the tap on slightly, slow enough that it wouldn't wake them up and started to brush her teeth before combing through her long brown locks. She put her hair into two braids before leaving the bathroom and retreating back through the twins room.

Just as she got to their door a sleepy voice called from behind her. "Came for more hugs i see?" Sophie turned around and saw Fred leaning on his beds headboard with a cheeky smirk planted on his lips.

"No." She shook her head. "I needed to use the bathroom and Ginny's in hers."

"Too bad." He shrugged. "Why are you up so early." Fred asked.

Sophie sighed before making her way over to his bed and sitting on the edge of it. "Help me." She whined.

"With what?" He laughed sitting up straighter.

"Your sister." She huffed. "I told her I'd help her with the gnomes but i didn't think she meant this early." Sophie laughed.

Fred tapped the girls head playfully before the door swung open and a very smug looking Ginny entered. "There you are." She said darting over to the girl and grabbing her wrist. "Come on those pests wont move themselves and i want to practice Quidditch after lunch."

And off the girls went, down the stairs into the kitchen where they grabbed a piece of toast each and then they ventured off into the back garden. Ginny pranced over to the back of the garden where most of the plants were and stuck her hand into a large bush and pulled out an object. It had a large head and small scrawny looking body, it's teeth were sharp and it's eyes nearly bulging out of it's head. It had a small green scrap tied around it as if it was clothes and it was squirming around trying to free itself from her grasp.

"The trick is." She grunted, shaking the gnome. "Is to make them dizzy." She spun it around in the air. "So they don't know their way back." And she threw it off far into the fields which surrounded the burrow.

"Nice throw." Sophie laughed.

"Thanks." She shrugged. "We've been doing this since before we could talk, Fred and George were always better then me and Ron."

Sophie and Ginny spent about 2 hours in the garden throwing the gnomes away and out of eyes reach. Some of them were stronger then others and put up a good fight but eventually they were all disposed off. Molly had called them back in for lunch and just in time as they had just threw the final gnome, laughing as it flung away.
