While Eleanor spent the majority of her summer creating as many new memories as possible with her newly constructed family, Fred found that their letters that had once gone back and forth constantly had become few and far in between. He didn't blame Eleanor, of course, it had been a shock to all of them when they learned that Professor Lupin had turned out to be her father. And in the few letters that had been sent to him, Eleanor told him that she had met her grandfather as well and was spending a lot of the summer going back and forth to his home for visits. He knew she was busy, and he was happy for her, but maybe she didn't understand how happy he was when he finally received a response from her.
In between the response time, Fred kept himself busy, along with George as they were making big plans for their future. After a couple of years of buying up prank products with what little saved money they had, over the last year, they had been attempting to develop their own products. And so far, they had been quite successful with many of them, although a lot of them still needed a name, that would come later.
However, one thing they did manage to agree on was calling their business Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
The twins were quite proud of themselves after all their hard work seemed to pay off in the best way. They actually had created enough of their products that they were looking to sell them come the new term at Hogwarts. Many nights of working in their room, suffering the side effects, and of course, trying to come up with a proper pricing list to start selling. George had even taken it upon himself to create order forms, so they really looked official. From fake wands to trick sweets, they were all set to go, that was until their mother discovered what they were up to.
It had been one day where Fred and George had been outside, enjoying the warmer weather, and Molly had taken it upon herself to clean up their room. Naturally, she found the order forms, and instantly, became furious. She demanded that they come back inside where she scolded them for nearly an hour.
Fred nearly lost his mind when Molly took to burning the order forms, telling them that they were forbidden from selling any of their products when they got to Hogwarts. And if that didn't hurt enough, she decided she would spend the rest of the time, telling them that they needed to start taking their future seriously. Wasn't it enough that she constantly brought up the fact that they didn't get as many O.W.L.s as she hoped? She wanted them to get "respectable" jobs such as working in the Ministry like Arthur and more recently, Percy.
It was then that Fred ended up losing his temper, telling his mother that he and George wanted nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic, they simply wanted to open up a joke shop. Only, that didn't go over well as Molly only argued that a joke shop was not a stable career.
From that day on, Fred found himself in a foul mood, most of it directed towards his mother. He was so tired of being constantly compared to his older brothers or being chastised for not wanting the career that his mother wanted for him and George. Sure, Bill was able to go out and become a curse-breaker and Charlie had dropped out of school to pursue a career with dragons, but a joke shop was out of the question?
