DUE TO THE JOY THAT the family's guests brought them, the Burrow was even more spirited than usual. They had lunch outside and hung out in Fred and George's room afterward. The twins had a row of candies laid out on their bed, prompting their siblings to take a vow that it would not reach the earshot of their parents, especially their Mum. "We tried out one on that cousin of yours, Dudley. Wish we'd been there to see it, though the way Dad was so frantic, we reckon it was brilliant."

Harry chuckled boyishly, his head running an imagination of his guardian's faces, freaking out as Dudley's tongue continued to grow. He leaned on the bed's headboard next to Ron, legs sprawled out and his mismatched, loose socks propped out on another. "Mum will have a fit once you tell her your plans," said Ron.

George snatched a prototype of candy from Ron's hands and said, "Yes, that is why you lot will keep your mouths shut." he said, looking over at his siblings, then to Harry and Hermione. The latter had more reservations than the rest of the group.

Ally sat on the opposite end of the bed with her legs crossed, her fingers fiddling through the ends of her twin's hair, with Ginny on the floor next to her, and Hermione on the other side.  "How'd you come up with those flavors, anyway?" Ginny asked while flipping through a book, her teeth loudly chewing on a gum.

Fred dived on the middle of the bed, his head peering through Ginny, "A few years in Hogwarts will give you a good idea on what these kids need." he said.

Ally took the opportunity to stretch her legs on Fred's back, which made him grunt and turn around, tickling the girl's feet. "Sod off!" she grunted, giggling through her words as Fred held up her feet, tickling.

Ally had kicked him hard in his face, making Fred stumble backwards and caress his nose gently. He grabbed the pillow behind Harry's head and smacked it across Ally, making her head snap sideways. "You git!" she shouted, hair rollers falling out and loosening.

The siblings had been laughing jovially at this whole exchange, while the non-relative guests were slightly disturbed with the amount of physical force and name calling. "You hit me first!" demanded Fred, hiding behind his own twin.
