Slytherin Royalty

Visiting the Burrow

The next morning, Fred, George and Alya woke up and had some breakfast before putting their uniforms on and heading down to open the shop. Much to Alya's surprise, it was just as busy as it was the day before. Alya took the liberty of sitting behind the till, much to Fred's delight. It seemed he had been cooped up on the tills a lot and dreaded it.

For a few hours, Alya was serving customers and Fred and George were walking around the shop helping customers find things and explaining what everything was, while Lee was demonstrating a few less explosive products. They each took individual lunch breaks in the office, making sure that there was always at least 3 people on the shop floor at all times. Alya saw a lot of familiar faces from Hogwarts, most of which were shocked to see her sitting behind the till at the Weasley's joke shop and not with the other Slytherins. Alya could've sworn she'd explained over 50 times that she was helping out for the day.

Finally, after what felt like forever, it was time to close the shop. Lee bid farewell to the trio before leaving the shop, and George locked the door behind him before the three of them went up to the flat to grab their bags. Fred stepped into the fireplace first and shouted "THE BURROW" before disappearing in a cloud of green smoke. George kissed Alya on the forehead before following him, and once he was gone, Alya did the same.

She could smell the comforting scent of the Burrow before she even realised she was there. She stepped out of the fireplace to see Molly and Arthur hugging the twins with huge smiles on their faces. Molly's smile only got bigger when she realised that Alya was there too, pulling her into a long hug.

"It's so lovely to see you, Alya, dear!" smiled Molly. "Why didn't either of you let us know you were coming?"

"The boys wanted to surprise you," smiled Alya. "And it's great to see you too. And you, Arthur,"

"Yes, yes, you too, Alya," smiled Arthur.

"Impeccable timing as always, dinner is nearly ready," smiled Molly, heading back into the kitchen.

"HARRY, RON, GIN," shouted Fred, as three pairs of footsteps came running down the stairs.

"Oh hello, what are you two doing - Ally!" smiled Ginny, running up and hugging Alya.

"Hey, Gin," smiled Alya, hugging her back.

"Oh yes, hello dear sister," chuckled George.

"Shut up, Ally's more important," chuckled Ginny.

"Hey, Ally," smiled Ron and Harry, also hugging her.

"Hey, Ronnie, Harry," smiled Alya.

"What are you doing here?" asked Ron.

"I was staying with the twins for the weekend," explained Alya. "I wanted to come and see your parents, then Fred said they hadn't seen your parents for a while so we came over after we closed the shop,"

"They haven't got you working for them, have they?!" asked Molly. "You've done enough for them and that shop already!"

"No, I offered," said Alya. "They were really busy and understaffed so I wanted to help,"

"It's not like we're not paying her, mum," said Fred.

"Yeah, we wouldn't let her do that," agreed George.

"You bloody well won't be!" protested Alya. "I only did a day and a half's worth of work. Besides, it's not like I need it. I was just doing you a favour,"

"You're a nightmare, you are," chuckled Fred. "I'm not even going to bother arguing with you, I won't win,"

"Good boy, you're learning," smirked Alya.
