The Chambers doing

Chapter 14 - Business as Usual

"So, we are taking matters into our own hands."

"What are you going to do?" The twins asked in unison, looking uncharacteristically solemn.

"For now," Harry started, "nothing much. Maybe we'll plan a few pranks for Ron, given he's sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong, but I don't think it will work to try and prank Dumbledore. We could always try I guess. Currently, we just want to concentrate on our studies, as strange as it sounds, and have a bit of fun. At Christmas, I think we'll visit Ragnok again, and hope he has some more information for us."

The twins' faces lit up at the idea of pranking, and they glanced at each other briefly. Turning back to Harry, they said simultaneously, "We've got some ideas for pranks - we'll get back to you soon on that so you can help plan." They sounded almost devilish.

"That sounds good, but for now, we should go have looked lunch. I know I'm hungry, and given your family trait, you three probably are too." Harry replied.

Ginny looked shocked, then her face morphed to an expression of anger and she slapped him lightly on the arm and exclaimed "Are you suggesting that my being a Weasley automatically means I crave food all the time?"

Harry looked worried, and backtracked. "I didn't mean... that is..."

Luckily for him, a small smile appeared on Ginny's face. "It's OK Harry!" She giggled at his expression. "I was just teasing you, and besides, what other impression would you have gotten, from seeing Ron forever hungry the last two years and my mum cooking a feast for every meal? I'll have you remember that I'm not like that though - usually!"

The twins had already decided though, that the opportunity was too good to miss, even with Ginny's apparent temper being revealed as a show. They had already found a way to tease the young couple. "But Ginny, he can't have meant that anyway, I mean, you're not a Weasley anymore - now you're a Potter." Fred started slyly.

George continued, "Actually Fred, I can't think of anything else that he could possibly have meant. Harrikins..." he said in a false sweet voice. "You're not forgetting about your wife already are you?"

Harry looked aghast. "That's not what I meant guys!" He protested. Ginny took pity on him.

"I know Harry, and even though I am a Potter, I was still born a Weasley. Those twin gits just don't know when to stop." She lightly snuggled into his chest where he still sat on the sofa, and a relieved Harry wrapped his arms around her. Then she turned on the twins, her expression completely different. "But you two, scaring my Husband like that. How could you?" She drew her wand quickly, and pointed it at them threateningly. They rose their hands in front of them, as if they were going to try to fend of a spell.

"Really Ginny..."

"...we didn't mean..."

"...anything by it..."

"...We just saw..."

"...a perfect oppurtunity..."

"...to tease you..."

"...and we wouldn't..."

"...be us if we..."

"...didn't make use..."

"...of it immediately!" They attempted to placate her.

When Ginny growled slightly, Harry leaned down and lightly kissed her cheek. He then whispered in her ear "It's OK. The twins are known for teasing everyone and I did kind of set myself up for it."

Slowly her wand lowered, until she sighed and put it away again. The twins relaxed slightly. Fred got a small grin. "Protective much?" He asked his sister.
