Fred:
God am I bored, it's half 9 and lee and all the other whatever their names are don't arrive for another, wait, no two goddamn hours. George has just like slumped onto the sofa, face into a bunch of pillows. He looks like he's just been through a painful divorce. He needs sleep.

"Well hello sleeping beauty!", I say loudly from the doorframe i'm standing in. There's a nail poking me slightly in the hip so I walk over and launch myself at him, because why not and i'm bored. That seems to wake George from his slumber as he proceeds to play wrestle with me for a while.

A few minutes later we end with a truce and extremely messy hair and make our way to the kitchen. There should be some food by now for christ sake. I'd make some myself but i'd probably burn the house down, or at least the kitchen. In fact the last time I cooked we had to completely rebuild the kitchen. Me and cooking appliances don't mix. But Ron and cooking appliances DO mix so it's no surprise when we walk into the kitchen to be hit with a wave of sweet smelling pancake mix. My mouth fills with saliva and I plonk myself down loudly beside Percy who huffs slightly but mostly ignores me. Well that's a bit weird but I guess he's just excited to see his boyfriend again. He doesn't know we know (George, Lee and I) that he's going out with Oliver. But he's so goddamn bad at hiding it for gods sake. Anywho Ron is next to Mum at the stove and his trying to flip the pancake. Ginnys laughing at him as his face scrunches up and his tongue pokes out in concentration. Her friend Luna is already here and is watching Ron inquisitively as he try's again.

"So Ginny you didn't really go out with Colin Creevey though did you?", Luna asked in a dreamy tone, her eyes wandering back to Ginny. Her voice was light and airy but her eyes betrayed her slightly as they looked slightly strained and even a little hurt. I'll have to ponder that later.

"No of course not, he's such an idiot! Didnt you hear what he said about Eloise Midgen!", Ginny replied.
"No I can't say that I did. What did he say then?"
"He said that, and I quote 'should really wash her face more if she doesn't want her acne to scar her face and make her look like a weasley'! I swear the nerve of him! If I hadn't heard it on the train I'd have punched him, urgh fucking twat-"
"Ginny! Language!", Mum interrupted
"Mum did you hear any of what I just said!"
"Yes I did dear and I don't think he deserves any of your thoughts or time!"
"Well, thanks Mum but he still piss- sorry annoys me!"
"Much better!"
"Yes I do agree Ginny he is a dickhead."
Everyone just gawped at Luna, I don't think anyone has ever heard her swear before. She just ignored everyone's faces and drizzled some honey onto her pancake.
"Thank you Mrs Weasley, Ronald. I'm sure the pancake will be amazing.", she said as she tucked into the pancake, spearing a raspberry on her fork as she did so.

George chuckled and everyone went back to what they were doing, Mum muttering a quiet 'well thank you dear' as she went. Percys nose was behind a muggle book that was appear called 'picture of Dorian Gray'. I can't say i've heard of it before, I don't read much. God Granger would have my head on a stick for saying that.

After a few pancakes George and I, excused ourselves from the table to go and get dressed. George was being weird today, he kept glancing over to a small wooden box on the windowsill and didn't laugh nearly enough when I told him about the weird muggle fact I'd recently found out about (did you know a muggle guy who 'discovered' (I used air quotes for that) America raped a llama, starting syphillis in humans). I was going to find out what was going on.

A minute later and George had left to have a shower. Now I knew George wouldn't be back for 10 minutes at least so I went over to the wooden box and opened it, like any rational, curious person would do, right. Inside were a load of letters, usually someone would be disappointed by this but not me, oh no. We share everything so the fact that George hasn't told me about these letters means they are of utmost importance. So of course i'm going to read them. I opened the letter at the bottom of the box because that would be the one with the first letter, of course, god i'm so clever. I then proceed get a papercut but I guess that's just karma.

Dear George,
(oooh it was Lee, I recognised the handwriting)
I really miss you, I'm not sure how i'm going to go four weeks without kissing you again.
(hold up! holy shit whatdidimiss when did THAT happen! Did I miss like an entire chapter!!)
God I miss you!
Cant wait to see you again, August 1st right?
Love you,
Lee x

Goddamnit that makes so much sense now! Anyway second letter.

Dear George,
Well look who's getting excited!
(wtf did George say!)
Cant say I haven't thought about it, to be honest making out by that lake by your house would be quite nice, don't you think. But to be frank I think I might just end up kissing you whenever I can!
(urgh romance)
You haven't come out to Fred yet have you?
(well obviously not -_-)
It's just weird when he's asking me if I'd gone on any dates with muggle girls this summer.
(oh yeah forgot about that oops)
Love you,
Lee x

I could hear George coming back from the shower now. Shit shit shit! I stuffed the letters and did the first thing that came into my head. I threw the box out the window. Ok i'll admit not my best idea but eh. That was until I glanced out the window and saw Ginny pick it up and bring it inside. Shit shit shit!

George was inside now and drying his hair. I probably looked suspicious as fuck so I proceeded in quickly getting dressed and rushed downstairs. But surprise surprise Ginny and Luna were nowhere to be seen.
