[2] Molly's Wrath

[Outfit Above]

Kat stepped out of the fire alongside George and watched as he and Fred began chuckling quietly as they eagerly awaited Harry's entrance. "What did you two do...?" Kat asked with narrowed eyes. "Nothing, love." George said. "Just taught good 'ol Dudley a lesson." Fred finished with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. Before Kat could say anything else she heard familiar laughter from the kitchen. The brunette turned and her jaw dropped at the sight of the two oldest Weasleys. "Charlie!" She cheered excitedly before rushing towards him.

Fred started laughing at both Bill and George's offended expressions, as Kat wrapped her arms tightly around Charlie's shoulders and he swung her around. Charlie and Kat laughed together before he set her back onto her feet, both grinning at the other. "What am I? Bloody nothing?" Bill scoffed playfully, earning a roll of Kat's eyes before she hugged him next. "I just saw you a few days ago, Mr. Curse Breaker."

Bill shook his head amusedly as Kat stepped back towards the twins. Charlie rose a brow when George wrapped his arms back around Kat's waist and held her against his chest. "Are you sure she isn't my girlfriend Georgie? She gets more excited to see me." Charlie teased, making George glare harshly at him. "Shove off you git!" Kat bit her lip to keep back her laughter at Charlie.

"You alright there Kitty-Kat?" Fred asked with a knowing smirk. Kat nodded with a hum still trying to hold in her laughter. "Seems like Kat thought what you said was absurd Charlie." Said Bill. "She's trying to contain her laughter." Charlie scoffed offendedly. "Well, it's not bloody impossible."

"Yes, it is." Both Kat and George retorted simultaneously. Harry then appeared through the flames of the fireplace and stepped out with his hands up trying to keep from falling into the kitchen. "Did he eat it?" Fred asked excitedly, holding out a hand to pull Harry to his feet. "Yeah." said Harry, straightening up. "What was it?"

"Ton-Tongue Toffee." Fred answered brightly. "George and I invented them, and we've been looking for someone to test them on all summer..." Fred looked down at Kat who still stood by George. "Since Kat wouldn't help us." Kat stuck her tongue out at Fred in response making him roll his eyes. Harry's head then turned at the sound of laughter between Ron, Charlie, and Bill.

"How're you doing, Harry?" Charlie asked while holding out a hand for him to shake. Bill then shook Harry's hand with a smile as the three got acquainted. Besides Kat and George, Mr. Weasley popped in angrier than ever. "That wasn't funny, Fred! What on earth did you give that Muggle boy?" He shouted. Fred shrugged with an evil grin. "I didn't give him anything. I just dropped it...It was his fault he went and ate it, I never told him to."

"You dropped it on purpose!" Mr. Weasley roared. "You knew he'd eat it, you knew he was on a diet—" Mr. Weasley accused. "How big did his tongue get?" George asked eagerly. Kat swatted Georges chest lightly warning him to not anger Aurthur more knowing that Molly would soon appear. "It was four feet long before his parents would let me shrink it!" Harry and the Weasleys roared with laughter again. Kat rubbed her forehead as she held in her own laughter not wanting to get caught in the crossfire.

"It isn't funny!" Mr. Weasley shouted. "That sort of behavior seriously undermines wizard–Muggle relations! I spend half my life campaigning against the mistreatment of Muggles, and my own sons—"

"We didn't give it to him because he's a Muggle!" Fred argued indignantly. "No, we gave it to him because he's a great bullying git." said George. "Isn't he, Harry?" Harry nodded at both of the twins. "Yeah, he is, Mr. Weasley," said Harry earnestly. "And he was making Kat uncomfortable." George added. "That's not the point!" raged Mr. Weasley. "You wait until I tell your mother—" Behind everyone from deep within the kitchen came Molly Weasley.

"Tell me what?" Molly asked with her hands on her hips and narrowed eyes. Molly quickly spotted Harry and smiled. "Oh hello, Harry, dear." Then her eyes snapped back to her husband. "Tell me what, Arthur?" Arthur hesitated, no matter how angry he was with the twins they all knew he never really planned to tell Molly. Hermione and Ginny both then appeared in the kitchen doorway behind Molly, both of them smiled at Harry who returned it causing Ginny to blush.

Kat gave Ginny a small knowing smirk making Ginny playfully glare back at her. "Tell me what, Arthur?" Molly repeated, in a dangerous sort of voice bringing everyone's attention back to her. "It's nothing, Molly. Fred and George just—but I've had words with them—" Arthur mumbled making the twins freeze. "What have they done this time?" Molly asked. "If it's got anything to do with Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes—" Kat gave Hermione a look to run while they could.

"Why don't you show Harry where he's sleeping, Ron?" Hermione suggested from the doorway. "He knows where he's sleeping," said Ron, "In my room, he slept there last—" Hermione clenched her teeth as she looked at Ron. "We can all go," said Hermione pointedly. "Oh," said Ron, catching on. "Right." George slid his hand into Kat's and took a step in their direction. "Yeah, we'll come too." He said only to instantly be stopped by Molly.

"You stay where you are!" Molly snarled. Harry and Ron edged out of the kitchen with Hermione and Ginny and up the rickety stairs. George wrapped his arms around Kat from behind and placed her in front of him trying to duck behind the smaller girl though not working well. "George!" Molly shrieked. George popped back up straight as Molly shifted her gaze to the brunette in front of her. "You're free to run along dear, I don't believe you had anything to do with this madness of theirs." Kat gave the twins an apologetic look knowing that if she tried to argue with the fierce woman it wouldn't go well.
