𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄, 𝐆EORGE WEASLEY

{14} Harry's Birthday

Odette had taken her usual spot on George's bed, waiting for the twins to change. Turned around with her hands over her eyes for safe measure, she groaned, "Are you guys done?"
"We just got up," Fred said.
"No we're not done." George finshed his sentence.
"How the hell do you do it?" Detta asked.
"Do what?" The boys asked in unsion.
"That. How do you manage to know exactly what the other is gonna say?"
"We have telepathy." Fred smirked.
"Okay, prove it." Detta said.
"How?" George asked.
"I've learned about a new spell, and you guys are my perfect practice dummies."
"The real dummy" Said Fred.
"Is you." Continued George. "Are you trying to get banned from Hogwarts?"
"Well, a simple mind-reading spell is not going to send Dumbledore into cardiac arrest."
"It will most definitely do that to the Minister, though." Said Fred, throwing his dirty shirt at her.

"Hey!" Shouted Odette, fumbling to take it off her head without looking at the very naked twins. She realised that perhaps waiting for them to get dressed inside their room may not have been the best idea she'd ever had. "You disgust me, Fred Weasley!"
"That was George!" Fred snickered, then let out a sound that Odette assumed came from George hitting him.
"Did you guys at the very least put your pants on?"
"Uh.." She heard some rustling sounds. "Yeah." Said George.
Odette turned around to find both of them very, very shirtless, and ungodly thoughts came into her mind. She quickly covered her eyes, blushing hardly.
"Can't handle the beauty, can you, Dette?" Fred laughed.
"You two take longer to get dressed than I do!" She said. "Also, ew, Fred."
George laughed, "Oh, come on, you've seen us shirtless before, Odette. Or have you forgotten Gryffindor parties? Now open your eyes it's not that big of a deal."

"What if someone walks in? They're gonna think-"
"Okay, first off, we are thirteen." Fred said.
"Second, no one walks in here anyway but mum when it's time to eat or while we're not home." George continued.
"We have a strict policy. You're the only person allowed." Fred said. Odette smiled a little.
"I hate that I cannot use legilimens on you two now." She groaned, falling on George's bed.
"You do realise we get to go back to Hogwarts, do you not?" Said Fred.
"It gives you enough time to come up with lies."
"So use Veritaserum." Shrugged George.
"I do not have the patience to brew that." Odette looked to her right, finding a pair of dirty socks. "Ugh! Maybe you should let your mother in here from time to
time."
"Fred get your disgusting socks off my bed." George threw them at him. He then grabbed a black t-shirt, tossing it over his head. Odette regretted the few seconds she had closed her eyes.

"I can't believe Harry is almost twelve." Detta sighed. "And going to second year."
"What's so wrong about that?" Fred asked.
"One more year of worrying about his life." She said.
"You know that's not a thing you gotta worry about." Fred said again.
"Is it though? Because I vividly remember Dobby saying, Harry Potter must not go to Hogwarts this year, there's been a plot!" She said mimicing Dobby.
"A plot? What kind of plot?" George asked.
"I don't know." She sighed. "But it must be bad since Dobby didn't want Harry going there."
"You're only saying Harry, why?" Fred asked.
"Because he's my main priority, and will always be."
She said.
"But you're higher on our priority list."George said.
"And if it's got something to do with you too, we'd like to know." Fred said.
"No, Dobby never said anything about me. It's Harry I ought to worry about." A blatant lie, but one she had to tell in order to keep Harry safe.

"Well, if it comes to it you've got us to keep you safe." Said Fred.
"As much as I appreciate the sentiment, Fredrick, a fky would be a better guardian than you."
Fred looked mighty offended, but George cut him off before he could cuss Odette out, "You know I'd never let anything happen to you."
Odette smiled warmly, until right about Fred said: "Ugh go get a room."
"Fredrick!" She threw a pillow at him. "We are thirteen!"
"And I am sick of you two pretending you don't want tk get into each other's pants!"
"Shut up!" Detta threw a pillow at him.
"Is that so?" He turned around and this time threw some pants he grabbed on the floor at Detta.
"You bitch-" She said throwing another pillow this time hitting George.
"Hey!" George said. "Oh you didn't go there." He smirked throwing his shirt at Detta.
She hit it with her foot blocking it from hitting her head. "You didn't have to take your shirt off!" She said throwing it back at George.
"You threw Fred's dirty pillow at me I had to payback." He smirked.
"I'll show you dirty pillow-" Fred said throwing more stuff at George and now it was a fight. Things were being thrown all around the room and at some point they broke a lamp that was on Fred's bedside table.
Detta threw a box at Fred who suddenly launched a shirtless George at her. He grabbed him by the sides of his arms, and pushed him straight to Detta. "What are you-" George said right before Fred pushed him.

George landed on top of Odette with a thud. Her breath got taken away and she was a milimeter close to kissing George. His brown eyes pierced into hers as they tried to scramble off the shock. Their heavy breathing due to the previous fighting and dodging made the scene even more uncomfortable. George's eyes could not seem to drift away from hers, and Odette's hands that had found their way to his warm chest did not seem to move, nor could she bring herself to will them to.
"Guys, it's lunch-" Percy opened the door. "Now what is this?"
"Oh- Percy!" Fred said.
"Percy we can explain." George said getting up and helping Detta.
"Yeah, you better." He nodded looking at Odette.
"Percy, I promise it's nothing of that sort." She raised her hands motioning no with them.
"Then why the bloody hell was my half naked brother on top of you?" He asked.
"Oh we were play fighting." Fred said.
"It's not our fault you've got no friends to do that with." George said and Odette nudged him.
"It's just that Fred pushed George on to me." Detta said.
"And why would I ever stay and watch?" Fred asked.
"I don't know, you're weird. I assumed you'd enjoy it." Percy shrugged. "Put a shirt on and try to cover something up, wouldn't want mum seeing that." He smirked at George and Detta's cheeks grew red.
"Fuck you Percy!" George said flipping Percy off.
"I better get uh- going." Detta said.
"Yeah..." George said awkwardly.
"We'll see you there!" Fred snickered and Detta heard him teasing George a bit. She got to the dining table and soon everyone in the family came and sat down, including the twins.

They had not told Odette the time that Bill and Charlie would arrive back home. But somehow, she had felt it. She had gotten off the dinner table, and had run outside to see the ginger man walking in the Weasley's frontyard.
She screamed as she ran toward him, jumping to reach Bill's tall figure. "Bill!" She said, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Bill dropped his things, picking Odette up. "Detta!" He laughed, and it made her heart melt. As a child, Odette had a big crush on Bill. He spun around with her in his arms, and it was as though her childhood dreams had come true. He put her down, and she watched him hug the rest of his family.
Inside, they sat in their living room, waiting for the other man to come. Odette looked at the fireplace right as Charlie walked out of it, very obviously disheveled.
"God, I'll never get used to that." Then he looked around the room, spotting Odette. "Ah, what a pleasant surprise!"
"Why is Detta everyone's favorite?" Fred sighed.
"Of course I'm their favorite. What's not to like?" She dramatically flipped her hair.
"Haven't changed at all, I see." Bill said sitting on the couch.
"They keep getting worse." Mr. Weasley said. "The teasing and pranking never stops."
"Now, Detta, that's nothing like you at all." Charlie said. "I like it." He smirked.
"So, baby face, how are the dragons?" Detta asked.
"I've told you not to call me that." Charlie said.
"Even Ron looks older than you." She said.
"He does not." Charlie gasped.
"I do too!" Ron said.
"Do not!" Charlie said.
"And you act twice as younger." Detta smirked.
"Are you trying to start a war in my house?" Bill asked Detta sitting next to her.
"Who, me? No." She sweetly gave a devilish smile.
"Alright!" Said Molly. "Everybody off to sleep! Tomorrow's a big day!" She smiled at Harry.
"You're never this excited," Started George.
"For our birthdays." Ended Fred. Mollie stared at them and threw a slipper their way.

It was morning of Harry's birthday, and Odette had woken up at dawn to start baking his two story cake. She had woken the twins along with her, but she was coming to regret it now that they'd made a plan.
"You are not ruining my masterpiece!" She shouted at Fred, whom she'd overheard talking about shoving Harry's head into the cake.
"Oh, come on!" Fred said.
"We know you want to!" Added George. "We just want to shove your brother's head into the cake."
"If I wasn't the one making the cake, be my guest. But I am putting work into this thing!"
"We're gonna end up eating it anyway!" Said Fred.
"Just let us do it!" Added George.
"Alright, but like do it on the side to the design isn't ruined."
"You've lost me, Dette." Said Fred. "You're boring now."
"Im hand painting the Karate Kid, I am not willing to destroy it for your entertainment."
"Prick."
"Idiot."

"Happy birthday to you!" Everyone sang as Detta brought the cake in front of Harry. Fred and George quickly moved behind him and smirked at Odette.
She brought the cake in front of him and said "Now!" Lifting it up as Fred and George shoved Harry's face in it. Odette pulled down the cake and Harry's face was covered in yellow and white frosting.
"I HATE YOU!" Harry shouted.
"Now that's not a nice way to thank someone for a birthday gift." Odette chuckled.
"My cake was beautiful!" He dramatically sobbed. "I should've known when these two walked behind me."
"Yet you didn't." They said in unsion.
After a bit of laughter and annoying Harry, everyone sat down to enjoy the cake. Hermione and Ron were between one of their usual arguments while Harry was trying to talk to Ginny. Odette was enjoying every moment she got to spend with the Weasleys. And now that Bill and Charlie were here, it was a dream come true.
