Written in the Stars - Fred Weasley

his older brother

After I got cleaned up the twins made me explain what exactly happened with my mum. I hated telling them, it was embarrassing and I refused from mentioning it was their family she insulted. I told them she just started insulting wizards in general and then me.

They decided I needed a cheering up and they brought me to their room. I walked past Ginnys' room and peaked my head in.

"Ginny! Hermione!" I squealed as I ran over and hugged them. Hermione and I were about the same height and very close. We were both the tops of our classes and I took comfort in studying with her even if she was two years below me. Angelina, Lee, and the twins didn't really care for school. Not that they weren't smart cause they were brilliant but they just applied themselves in other areas than school work. Angelina was a bloody good chaser, the twins had their pranks which Lee was always helping with.

"What happened to you?" Ginny frowned at me as she scanned my arm and face.

"Long story." I huffed, I didn't want to have to explain it again. Ginny reached for my arm to pull me to sit on her bed but someone else grabbed me first. George grabbed my hand and pulled me out.

"She'll explain later" He called out once we were already heading up the stairs. I was tripping over my feet as he tugged my arm up the stairs. I hit his shoulder and he let noticed me falling and let go of my hand. The stairs were cold as I didn't have any shoes on. We made it to the second to top floor, where the twins room was. Fred opened the door and shooed us inside.

"Okay so what is this purposal you have for me?" I looked at the twins and they were grinning. Fred grabbed a big box from under his bed and opened the lid. I knew it was their box of pranks since we always pranked Percy whenever I stayed the summer. Inside there were all sorts of new candy looking things, but I knew better then to think that they were just regular candy. Fred picked up one of the purple wrapped candy and handed it to me.

"Want one?" He smirked and I just rolled me eyes. I took it from his hand and exaimned the packaging then opened it. Inside was a sort of toffee.

"What's it do?" I asked while looking at the purple candy in my hand. They were amazing at making it look normal. I even wanted to eat it but I wouldn't.

"Ton-Tongue Toffee" The twins said in unison.

"It makes your tongue grow! Multiple feet long!" George gushed proudly. "Although we aren't sure exactly how long, we haven't had anyone to test in on" He winked at me.

"Absolutely not!" I laughed setting the candy down. "Why not Percy? You know he loves a good prank." I said sarcastically getting a chuckle from the twins.

"Mum wants us to throw out all of our pranks so if she found out we tested one on Percy, she'd freak." Fred looked at me with wide eyes and started pulling out more inventions.

"Why so many new inventions?" I asked curiously while looking through their box careful not to set anything off. The twins looked at each other and I lifted my eyebrows. "Hm?"

"Well that's actually what we wanted to talk to you about." George started nervously.

"Yeah uh we were thinking, since school isn't really our thing. After school we want to open a shop." Fred continued and stared at me waiting a response.

"Oh cool what kind of shop?" I asked smiling.

"A joke shop." They said together.

"Really!" I got up and hugged George then Fred.

"Yeah!" They were now grinning at me.

"Did you think I wouldn't like it?" I asked confused. Of course I would support whatever they wanted to do. "Cause I think you guys would run the best joke shop in London! Better than Zunkos!"
