The Evil Spawn

𝙸𝚅

        12 Grimmauld Place became extravagant with noise on August 2nd as people from the Order were coming in and out of the front door and gathering inside the completely closed-off kitchen. 

As Alexis walked down the stairs, she was stopped by an arm roughly pulling her into a room. When the lights flickered on, she had already pulled out a dagger and positioned it at the neck of whoever had touched her. 

"Woah!" Alexis looked around to find one Weasley twin staring at her with wide eyes while the other had his hands up and backed away from her slowly. 

She sighed and put the dagger back into its place on her thigh. "What do you guys want?" 

"Well, we brought you here to—" 

"—help us find out what's going on down there." 

Alexis raised one of her brows and looked between the twins. "Who is who?" 

The twins looked at each other and gave a mischievous smile. The twin on the right stepped forward. 

"Forge Weasley." 

Then the other twin stepped forward. "Gred Weasley." 

Alexis sighed, closed her eyes, and tilted her head towards the ceiling to try and calm herself. When she opened her eyes and looked at the twins, something was different. she furrowed her brows and looked closer. 

She rolled her eyes. "Switch back." 

The twins looked shocked and returned to their correct positions. Alexis pointed to the right, "Fred Weasley." She then pointed to the left. "George Weasley." 

"How'd you—" Fred started. 

"—figure that out?" Finished George 

"Your noses. George has a downturned one, while Fred has an upturned one; like a mouse." 

"Wow, you're observant." Fred ran his fingers through his hair and looked at George. They stared at each other for a bit until Fred cleared his throat and looked at Alexis. "So—"

"—will you help us?" 

Alexis pursed her lips together and narrowed her eyes. The twins were fidgety and switched their weight from each foot, every 5 seconds. "Okay, I'll try." 

Their eyes lit up as they smiled broadly. George shot his fists into the air and twirled around while Fred looked at Alexis with a look of appreciation. He held his arms out in front of her. She looked at his arms and then stared into his eyes. 

She furrowed her brows and had a slightly disgusted twitch in her eyes. He mouthed, 'hug?' and shook his hands slightly. She immediately mouthed back 'No'. 

Apparently, Fred did not care, as he swooped her into his arms and hugged her tightly. She realized that she could have easily dodged him, but decided not to at the last minute. After a while, her fists that were balled together at her sides, relaxed into a flat hand. 

She went to hug him back but glanced at George first. He had calmed down already and was now fixing his shoes. Alexis panicked and pushed Fred off of her. George turned around a split second later as she gulped nervously. 

"What's going on here?" 

"I just—" Fred pointed at Alexis with his thumb. 

She cut him off immediately. "I should get going. I'm sure you want the information as soon as possible, and me being here doesn't help." Alexis finally looked around the room.
