------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fred's POV

I stood in the living area waiting for y/n to get back and tell us if the toffee worked. 

There was a loud woosh and y/n came tumbling out of the fireplace. I came forwards and pulled her to her feet. She was laughing loudly and pushing some of her h/c hair out of her face. 

"Did he eat it?" George asked excitedly. She ignored the question and laughed harder.

Woosh.

I pulled Harry to his feet while asking, "Did he eat it?"

"Yeah! What was it?" He said, straightening himself. 

"Ton-Tongue Toffee. George and I invented them, and we've been looking for someone to test them on all summer..." I trailed off looking over to y/n.

She had refused to try any of them but didn't stand in our way when we said we were going to test them on Harry's cousin. She hated the way Harry was treated by his relatives and agreed that his cousin deserved it.

Everyone exploded with laughter and y/n had tears streaming down her face from laughing so much. They made her e/c look brighter than usual and I caught myself staring. Again.

"How're you doing, Harry?" Charlie asked him. He shook Harry's hand and after so did Bill. 

Before Harry could respond a popping noise was heard and dad appeared by George's shoulder. He was extremely angry and his face had gotten red. 

"That wasn't funny Fred!" 

Why am I the only one getting blamed?

"What on earth did you give that muggle boy?" He shouted.

I tried to keep the evil grin off my face but couldn't. "I didn't give him anything." This is technically true.

"I just dropped it... It was his fault he went and ate it, I never told him to."

Dad's face was getting redder by the second and matched his hair fairly well. 

"You dropped it on purpose! You knew he'd eat it, you knew he was on a diet-"

"How big did his tongue get?" My twin asked.

"It was four feet long before his parents would let me shrink it!" 

Everyone roared with laughter again and y/n was clutching Ron's shoulder for support.

"It isn't funny! That sort of behavior seriously undermines wizard-muggle relations! I spend half my life campaigning against the mistreatment of muggles, and my own sons-"

"We didn't give it to him because he's a muggle!" I said indignantly.

"No, we gave it to him because-" George started.

"He's a great bullying prat! Isn't he Harry?" Y/n asked.

Dad shot y/n a small glare. "You were in on this?" He asked quietly. She stopped laughing, "Maybe... A little... He deserved it?" It was more of a question now. 

"Yeah, he is, Mr. Weasley." Harry backed us up on the question from earlier.

"That's not the point! You wait until I tell your mother-" 

"Tell me what?" 

Oh no. Please, Merlin, no.

Mum entered the kitchen where we all were. Her eyes were narrowed in suspicion as she looked straight at George and I. 

"Oh hello, Harry, dear." She smiled, then looked back to dad. "Tell me what, Arthur?" 

My father hesitated. Of course he would never tell mum what had happened, no matter how angry he was.

He eyed mum nervously while a tense silence hung in the air. 

"You're in it now." A voice whispered beside me.

"Like you aren't." I whispered back to y/n. 

Ginny and Hermione had now entered the room. They both smiled and when Harry returned it, Ginny turned scarlet. Y/n and I shared a knowing look, knowing very well that Gin fancied Harry.

"Tell me what, Arthur?" Mum repeated in a dangerous tone.

Stay strong dad. 

"It's nothing, Molly. Fred and George just- but I've had words with them-" He mumbled.

As soon as he spoke our names mum went a bit red in the face. "What have they done this time? If it's got anything to do with Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes-"

"Why don't you show Harry where he's sleeping, Ron?" Said Hermione. 

"He knows where he's sleeping, in my room he slept there last-"

"We can all go." She responded gritting her teeth. 

"Oh. Right." How daft is my brother?

"Yeah, we'll come to." George said hopefully.

"You stay right where you are!" Mum snapped.

We didn't move a muscle as Ron, Harry, Hermione and Ginny ran out the door. Y/n tried to edge off behind them but Charlie saw her. 

"Not so fast, y/n," He spoke loudly, "You had a part in this too." 

She gave him a look that could kill and came and stood by me again. 

"Nice of you to join the party." I mumbled. 

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." She responded sarcastically.

"Alright. Arthur, what happened?" Mum asked.
