The characters of the Harry Potter universe belong to Ms. Rowlings, and I'm borrowing them for my own imagination.

Fraternal Differences - Part 1

"It's not true." Five-year-old Roxanne said as she sat playing with her three-year-old cousins Rose and Albus.

"Mummy says to ignore them. There just mean boys." Rosie told Roxie frowning at where Fred and James were playing nearby.

"It is true. Dad, Mum and I are going far away and never coming back." Freddie told his twin sister.

"It is because you don't like pranks." Jamie added. "I'm more like your dad then you are."

"So, Daddy and Mummy love me. They always cuddle with me." Roxie said.

"That's cause you're a baby. Daddy doesn't like cuddling. He just doesn't wanna hear you whine." Freddie said.

"Such a whiny baby." Jamie added.

"Don't be mean." Albus said growled at his older brother.

"Who's being mean?" Jamie said. He and Fred both faces full of innocense.

"You will see when we don't come back." Freddie said.

"I'm gonna get a drink of water." Roxie said stood up frowning as she left the room. She was almost to the kitchen when she heard her aunt open the door.

"Hey, George come on in." Ginny said allowing him entrance to her home. "Fred, your dad's here!"

"Thanks, is Fred about ready?" George asked. "Ron said he would pick up Roxie with his kids."

"Yes, Rosie has been talking nonstop about the sleep over, apparently Ron has promised to set up a tent." Ginny said. "I think Al would be jealous, if Ron hadn't already promised to have him over tomorrow night."

"I glad Ron and Hermione were willing to take her. Roxie wouldn't enjoy the trade show like Fred will, and Angie is going to be out late with training." George said following Ginny to the kitchen table. "It amazes me how different Freddie and Roxie are."

"Because they are twins?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah, Fred and I were so alike. And I know the Patil twins were in different houses, but they were more similar than Freddie and Roxie are. She doesn't like pranks." George said amazement voice.

"She takes after Angelina." Ginny said before being interrupted by the door opening.

Harry walked in and glanced around. "Good, it's safe." He walked in followed by Ron.

"It's safe?" Ginny asked her eyebrows raised.

"Been a long day, I didn't want to come home to another James disaster." Harry said.

"Daddy!" Hugo called out banging his hands on the edge of the playpen he shared with Lily.

Ron picked his son up lifting him high in the air and blowing raspberries on his neck before settling the year-old boy on his hip.

Lily screamed out in protest, and after giving his wife a quick kiss to his wife, Harry moved over to pick Lily up and showered her with his attention.

"She is definitely her mother's daughter." George said and Ron nodded his head in agreement.

"And what is wrong with that?" Ginny asked glaring at her brothers.

"Nothing, Gin." Ron and George answered in unison. Harry kept his face turned away from Ginny so she wouldn't see his smirk.

"Dad, are we going now!" Freddie asked as he burst into the kitchen followed by James, Al, Rosie and a quiet Roxie.

"Shortly." George said patting his son's head. "You ready to have fun with Rosie tonight?" George asked opening arms to Roxie.

"Uhhuh." Roxie said nodding her head as she went to him and hugged him tight. "You'll be back tomorrow, right?"

"Yep, Uncle Ron is going to bring you into the shop, and I'll pick you up at four." George told her as he hugged her then tickled her. "Rosie, you gonna to keep my Roxie entertained tonight."

"Yes. We're gonna camp in the living room. Daddy is gonna put up a tent and everything." Rosie informed him enthusiastically.

"Sounds like lots of fun. You girls have fun and I will pick you up tomorrow." George told Roxie giving her a kiss before taking a hold of Fred's hand.

"Bye, Daddy." Roxie responded with a wave.

"We need to get going, too. We're going to pick up pizza on the way home." Ron said.

"Yeah!" Rosie called out taking her daddy's outstretched hand. Roxie took hold of Rosie's other hand.

"Have fun." Harry and Ginny called out to them as they left.
