"Did he eat it?" said Fred excitedly, as Harry arrived.
"Yeah," said Harry, straightening up. "What was it?"
"Ton-Tongue Toffee," said Fred brightly. "George and I invented them, and we've been looking for someone to test them on all summer..."
The tiny kitchen exploded with laughter;
"How're you doing, Harry?" Said Charlie, shaking Harry's hand.
Bill got to his feet, smiling, and also shook Harry's hand.
Before any of us could say anything else, there was a faint popping noise, and Mr. Weasley appeared out of thin air at George's shoulder. He was looking angrier than I had ever seen him.
"That wasn't funny Fred!" he shouted. "What on earth did you give that Muggle boy?"
"I didn't give him anything," said Fred, with another evil grin. I just dropped it...It was his fault he went and ate it, I never told him to. "
"You dropped it on purpose!" roared Mr. Weasley. "You knew he'd eat it, you knew he was on a diet-"
"How big did his tongue get?" George asked eagerly.
"It was four feet long before his parents would let me shrink it!"
We all roared with laughter again.
"It isn't funny!" Mr. Weasley shouted. "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!" said Fred indignantly.
"No, we gave it to him because he's a great bullying git," said George. "Isn't he, Harry?"
"Yeah, he is, Mr. Weasley," said Harry earnestly.
"That's not the point!" raged Mr. Weasley. "You wait until I tell your mother-"
"Tell me what?" said a voice behind them.
Mrs. Weasley had just entered the kitchen. Her eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"Oh hello, Harry, dear," she said, spotting him and smiling. Then her eyes snapped back to Mr Weasley. "Tell me what, Arthur?"
Mr. Weasley hesitated. I could tell that, however angry he was with Fred and George, he hadn't really intended to tell Mrs. Weasley what had happened. There was a silence, while Mr. Weasley eyed Mrs Weasley nervously. Then Hermione, Ginny and Bailey entered the kitchen.
"Tell me what, Arthur?" Mrs. Weasley repeated, in a dangerous sort of voice.
"It's nothing, Molly," mumbled Mr. Weasley, "Fred and George just-but I've had words with them-"
"What have they done this time?" said Mrs. Weasley. "If it's got anything to do with Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes-"
"Why don't you show Harry where he's sleeping, Ron?" said Hermione from the doorway.
"He knows where he's sleeping," said Ron, "in my room, he slept there last-"
"We can all go," said Bailey pointedly.
"Oh," said Ron, cottoning on. "Right. "
"Yeah, we'll come too," said George.
"You stay where you are!" snarled Mrs. Weasley.
Harry, me and Ron edged out of the kitchen, and we set off along the narrow hallway and up the rickety staircase that zigzagged through the house to the upper stories.
