Wonder Wizards (Fred/George Weasley x Reader)

Veritaserum

Content warning - body shaming, mention of low mood/self esteem

The next week passed by and the twins seemed to lay off, only giving you the odd shove or jab in the side as you passed in the hallway. The near harassment and pranks you usually experienced remained at bay, which only unnerved you after George's threat. Despite this, you felt that Fred and George looked at you differently.

For instance, a few days ago you were cleaning up after dinner, dancing to the music playing on the radio. You noticed that they gawked as you swayed your hips, swatting each other when you clocked them. It almost creeped you out that they had taken such a sudden interest in you, like a switch had been flipped. They had always been your best friend's brothers who loved to take the piss out of you as if it was their favourite hobby.

It was Thursday now, and you were reading 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' in Ron's room when you heard a familiar squawk and pecking at the window. You let Olive in, giving her head scratches and treats as she dropped a letter on the bedroom floor before swooping into her cage. You eagerly opened the letter from your father, it read:

'Y/N,

I am so glad to hear that you're enjoying the summer. Business has been booming up here, I can barely keep up with the demand. It's busy times like these where I miss you most.

I hope you don't mind that I kept Olive for a few days longer than usual. She reminds me of you and it's nice to have some movement in the house whilst you and your mother are away.

Speaking of which, she's stopping home this weekend before travelling to London for her last show. We would like to invite Molly and Arthur to come and stay with us for the weekend, for old times sake. Please could you send a response ASAP. Tell them there's no worries if they can't, I realise that I've left it very late in the week to ask.

Love you always,
Dad x'

With a squeal of excitement you rushed downstairs to show Molly and Arthur the letter. Molly matched your excitement, fetching some parchment and a quill in a flash to scribble a response. Arthur was practically beside himself, spending the weekend away from the kids and being able to ask as many questions about muggles as he wanted? he almost fainted. Arthur loved his family dearly, but had been working overtime the past four weekends, so deserved some time away.

You wrote your own response, tying the two letters in twine to make it easier for Olive to carry. "I'm so sorry you have to go back and forth so much, Ol", you said scratching under her small beak. She ruffled her feathers in response, readying for flight before disappearing into the sunset.

The following day Molly was running around like a headless chicken, making sure the Burrow was spick and span before her and Arthur left for Cheshire. You helped out as much as she would allow, you listened to her titter on about how it wasn't your job to help, shooting a piercing glare at her three sons sat on the couch.

You grabbed their suitcase and loaded it into the car. Their train was leaving at 1pm and Molly wanted to be at the station at least an hour before, to make sure they didn't miss it. "Now I know exactly how I left this house", Molly warned her twin boys, pointing in their faces. "I do not want to come back to a single speck of dust out of place".

She turned to you now, "I know you'll look after the place, Y/N darling" she said grabbing your cheeks. "You can count on me, Mrs Weasley", you beamed. "There's plenty of food in the fridge, please send us an owl straight away if you need anything", she told you firmly. "Now come on Arthur, we don't want to chance missing the train!", she demanded whilst waving him over. Arthur jokingly rolled his eyes behind Molly's back, with a short "Yes dear" in response.
