The Measley Twins and The Masson Family Curse

Chapter 2: Flying Brooms and a Promise

Margaret was in the kitchen cooking dinner. Charlie was setting the table while Ben was in the living room working on summer homework. Anthony was outside in the garden with Ronnell and Ruby, the two youngest Measley children. Peter was upstairs with Fred and George playing a game of chess in the twins room when George heard a knock at the front door.

"Uncwe Fabian and Gideon are hewe!!!" He jumped up, scattering the pieces all over the carpeted floor, and ran out the bedroom door and down the stairs.

"How did he hear that?" Peter asked.

Fred shrugged his shoulders then got up and ran after George, Peter followed.

The livingroom was small. There was a fireplace adjacent to the wall the door was on. The first thing guests see when walking into the house is a giant bookshelf filled with pictures of the family. The pictures were arranged in order that they were taken in, at least one could assume they were anyways, judging by who was in the pictures and the age they appeared to be. In front of the fireplace was a small rectangular coffee table, a couch, and a chair on either side of the couch, as well as two stands with matching lamps sitting on them.

The twins jumped the last step of the stairs and ran towards their uncles, who crouched down with their arms out to catch their nephews as they jumped into them yelling, "Uncwe Fabian, Gideon!!!"

"How's our favorite nephews," They replied messing up the twins bright orange hair.

Margrete came in from the kitchen. "Hello Fabian, Gideon," She said as she hugged the brother on the right and then the one to her left..

"Hey Molly." They said hugging her back.

"Actually, Molly. I'm Gideon," said the one twin on the right. "He's Fabian."

"Oooh, sorry."

"Mummy aways gets us wong too." said the boy in Gideon's arms.

"We'z fink it's funny," said the twin in Fabian's arms.

"We have a surprise for you two," Said Gideon.

"You two are going to love this," added Fabian as they both sat the boys on the ground.

They stepped outside and returned with two packages.

"You didn't," Margaret said with a slightly irritated expression, knowing exactly what was in the packages.

"Molly, you and Anthony got Ben and Charlie one at the age of three," Fabian replied.

"It's their fourth birthday. It's not going to hurt anything," Gideon added.

"They're dangerous," she said', slightly irritated with her brothers'.

"Every kid should have one!" They both said.

Margaret turned angrily and headed back to the kitchen.

"Now..," Fabian said. "...Who's who?"

"He's Fred, I'm George," Said the one that Fabian had been holding.

Fabian handed the package in his hand to Fred, and Gideon gave his to George... or so they thought.

As soon as the packages were handed to them, the twins switched with each other, and began to unwrap the presents.

"Wait. You said that you are Fred," Fabian said pointing at the one twin.

"And you are George." Gideon said pointing at the other.

"Apwil Foows!!!" The twins yelled.

Fabian and Gideon hung their heads irritated with themselves than glanced at each other and said, "We should have know."
