The Goddess Of Madness and Mayhem

Chapter 9

On the Saturday when the twins were meant to come down Frigga didn't wake up until 11:30am, when she realised the time, she jumped out of her bed and hurried to get dressed. She walked out of her room and went to see Tom, 'Hey did you not think to wake me up?' she asked moving to sit next to him on the sofa, 'No I figured that with everything going on with your father you deserve some more sleep.' he told her not looking up from the book he was reading, 'Oh, thanks. What are you reading?' she asked him, looking over his shoulder. 'The Hobbit.' he said tilting the book to show her the book cover. 'I didn't think you knew any muggle books.' she told him, 'I grew up in a muggle orphanage, remember? And besides this book came out when I was 11.' she said.

When Frigga heard a knock at the front door she stood up from the couch and went to answer it, as soon as she opened the door, she was engulfed in a hug all she saw was two ginger haired heads. 'Fred, George I can't breathe.' she said after a few minutes, 'Sorry, we heard from Draco what happened, and we wanted to make you feel better.' George said, 'And you thought that a hug would do that?' she asked, Fred and George shared a look and hugged her again while laughing. They went to Frigga's room, after a few minutes of talking in Frigga's room she heard Tom shouting for her. She excused herself and went to see what he wanted. 'Yes Mother?' she asked sarcastically, 'There is a village nearby and there are a few shops there that I think might interest you, I could give you some money and you could go and get Christmas gifts for Draco and Sev?' he suggested, 'Really, thank you Tom.' she said after she went to hug him.

When she got back to her room, she saw Fred holding something and she looked closer, and she saw that it was Freds wool jumper that she had stolen from him the previous year. She quickly walked over to him and took the jumper out of his hands, 'You weren't meant to see that.' she said while hiding the jumper behind her back, 'I thought I lost it, why did you take it?' he asked moving closer to her, 'I just took it one day because I was cold, and I had forgotten to give it back.' she said going to hand it back to Fred, 'Nah it's ok you can keep it.' he said moving to sit at her desk.

Frigga was sitting on her bed when suddenly George jumped up, 'Oh we forgot to give you your Christmas present.' he said, Fred and George both felt around in their pockets and pulled out two identical boxes and handed them to Frigga, 'You guys didn't have to get me anything.' she said before opening the boxes, she opened George's first and she pulled out a ring with an engraving on it, it was a purple symbol she placed the ring back in the box and opened Fred's, it was the same ring but instead of purple it was orange, she looked at them both 'What does the symbol mean?' she asked, the pair sat on either side of her bed looking at her.

'We came across this man when we were at Kings cross after the summer holidays before school and we were talking about you, he showed us the symbol on his body, and he said that it was a Parabati rune which means if you have a really, really strong bond with someone there is a ritual where you become more than siblings, you have a more profound bond, since we aren't what he is we decided to get you rings with the symbol, we charmed them so they are similar to the rune. You can essentially feel what we feel and vice versa.' Fred explained, and Frigga looked back down at the rings, 'Thank you, both of you, I love them.' she said as she moved the boxes off her lap and went to hug the pair.

Frigga put the rings on two of her fingers, she had Fred's on her index finger on her left hand and George's on her middle finger on her right hand. Frigga looked through her trunk looking for the presents she had gotten for the twins and when she found them, she asked them to close their eyes and she placed the presents in their laps, when they opened their eyes, they both saw a medium sized box, they both opened the boxes and what was inside shocked them, it was a "Kenmare Kestrels" hoodie, with their names and the number 78 on the back. They looked at Frigga and pulled her in for a hug. They both put on their hoodies before they went home, and they thanked Frigga again before apparating away.
