Fred was the first to talk.
The family was in the midst of an argument. Two year old Percy was shouting at Charlie, accusing him of ruining Percy's colouring book. Three(nearlyfour) year old Charlie was protesting vehemently, while Bill shouted at both of them to be quiet. The twins were lying on a blanket nearby, babbling to eachother. Molly was standing in the middle of the room, struggling to be heard over her five sons. She finally exploded.
"All of you be quiet THIS INSTANT!"She yelled, and all five of her sons fell silent. Then-
"Shush!"A voice demanded. Molly glared at her sons.
"Who said that?"She asked warningly. Bill, Charlie and Percy all shook their heads.
"Shush!"The voice demanded again. Molly spun around, and to her surprise found the owner of the voice was none other than six month old Fred Weasley. Fred was frowning at her, his arms wrapped around George who had tears streaming down his face, evidently caused by the yelling. George was crying, shying away from the rest of his family, hiding his face in Fred's arms. Molly and Bill stared at them.
"Did he just-"
"Was that his-"
"Fred's first word!"
"Shush!" Fred reprimanded again.Laughing quietly, Molly bent down to scoop Fred up in her arms. A few seconds later, George, who had quietened down, burst into tears again.

Plot; the Mischief began before Hogwarts…

Once Molly had settled George once more by placing Fred beside him and sorted out the colouring book dilemma saying that maybe Percy did have a habit of going out the lines and Charlie hadn't been near the colouring book due to the lack of dragons in it.

She finally contacted Arthur about the great news. She'd settled all five of her sons with the aid of milk, good old fashioned milk, now Bill and Charlie where both sitting with a glass, Bill laying on his front reading a book of fairytales and Charlie taking some milk then giving his plush Dragon some milk.

Percy had a Sippy cup and was sitting at the kitchen table colouring in on his new colouring book, one Molly had casted a spell on getting rid of all the colouring and starting it a fresh.

The twins had a bottle each and where both lying on the blanket as before taking unified sips out the bottle and slowly falling into a sleep.

Molly had sat watching whilst explaining the events to Arthur, she whistled to the family owl then gave the letter to it telling him where to go, she sent him off then glanced around her sons again.

She set the kitchen to work on the boy's dinner, then settled the twins in the cradle in her and Arthur's room, after telling Bill he was in charge if anything happened. Molly soothed the boys whispering a soft lullaby to them.

She then removed there bottles and replaced them with dummies, she watched as Fred cuddled himself into George, George burying his head into Fred's chest. Molly smiled stroking both their heads in turn.

"Sweet Dreams" She whispered and pulled the blanket up so it covered both of them. She kissed both their heads lightly then went back downstairs.

Expecting mayhem and being pleasantly surprised, all three boys where still occupied as they where before, their dinner was almost done and Molly could relax.

She set the table and called the boys through they came one by one, Bill first who came with his empty glass requesting more, he held the glass up to Molly then asked her quietly for more, she refilled his glass after making sure he was holding it properly. He took a sip then slid it onto the table; standing underneath it for a few minutes making sure the glass didn't topple over and fall off the table. He nodded in approval then climbed onto the chair and picked up his fork.

Then Charlie who placed his glass on the nearest chair, due to the fact the table was to high for him, he climbed onto the seat almost tipping the chair. Then stood on the chair and placed the three quarter full glass beside his plate. He then pulled the chair forward and knelt on it picking up his knife and fork with the wrong hands and stabbed the sausage on the plate in front of him with his knife.

He then grinned as Percy came in sucking on his empty sippy cup he climbed onto his own chair knocking the sippy cup onto the floor then whining lightly as the lid of the beaker popped off and rolled under the table. His bottom lip quivered then he sniffled. Molly picked up the lid then reattached it to the cup, Percy nodded in approval then pulled his chair towards the table, he lifted the fork and inspected it. Molly looked at her son with a raised eyebrow thinking only 'Cheeky'. When Percy decided that the fork was suitable he scooped the sweetcorn up and began nibbling on them.

After dinner time came the dreaded bath time, Molly took the three boys into the bathroom then stripped them all down to their underwear, she casted a spell on the bath so it'd fill up to the perfect height at the perfect temperature for the three boys, She made them share the bath time mostly so they wouldn't waste water and so Molly could keep an eye on all three of them. She knew the twins where still soundly asleep so she didn't have to worry about them.

She first lifted Percy into the bath then tried to detach the plush dragon from Charlie's clutches. He squealed and grabbed harder onto the toy.

"Charlie, let go of the toy" Molly weaned; Charlie looked at her and sniffled slightly. "You don't want to get him wet do you" she said, Charlie considered it then shook his head handing over the toy. Molly nodded and laid the top on the pile of Charlie's clothes. She then lifted him into the bath also, then just about stopped Percy from trying to eat the bubbles. She then looked at Bill who was standing smiling.

"Go on get in" Molly said, Bill nodded and climbed into the bath and instantly splashed Charlie who giggled and splashed him back. Both boys grinned at each other and continued to splash each other as Molly washed Percy, when she was satisfied with the cleanness of her son she moved onto Charlie who squealed and protested repeatedly, once he was done she moved onto Bill who from many years experience accepted the scrubbing.

When all three boys where satisfactory Molly let them be for a while, watching as Bill and Charlie engrossed themselves in A Splashing war; the war distressed Percy who began whining again.

"Stop it, STOP IT" he squealed hitting his hands against the water splashing himself and making him whine more. Both Charlie and Bill laughed and splashed together drenching Percy and making him whine. Molly scowled the two boys making both of them whine themselves, Molly sighed as all three began crying loudly.

"For Gods sake" Molly murmured then heard more crying from her room, the twins had woken up, Molly sighed. Then heard her husband soothing the twins in their room, she sighed a sigh of relief then tended to the three in the bath who where sobbing.

Arthur walked into the bathroom and smiled at the sight. The three boys noticed there dad and stopped there crying abruptly.

"DADDY" All three squealed, Molly shook her head in amazement as Arthur smiled at the boys helping Molly get the three out dry them then dress them in their pyjamas. They took them into their room and picked up the book The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

All three boys squeezed onto the one bed trapping Molly in the middle of them. She opened up the book and began reading the story of Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump.

"Along time ago, in a land far, far away, a King decides to keep all the magic in the world for himself. In order to get all the magic, he needs to gather all the witches and wizards in the world, so he forms the Brigade of Witch-Hunters, armed with packs of wild dogs. But first, he needs to learn how to use magic, so he calls for someone with magical abilities to teach him. No real wizards or witches respond, but a Muggle pretends to be a wizard, and offers to teach him, despite not knowing any magic himself…"

Molly looked at her three boys, Percy had fell asleep during the story all cuddled up in a cocoon in the quilt. Charlie was slowly dropping, trying to resist the sleep that was threatening him; he had his plush dragon's ear in his mouth and was nibbling on it lightly. Bill however was still wide awake wanting another story or the story again. Molly smiled and lifted Charlie taking him to his bed, the lower bunk below Bill's, she lay him on the bed as Bill climbed up and got comfortable.

She then walked back over to Percy and tucked him in, each boy had a normal duvet and pillow but each of them had a knitted blanket over there duvet, Bill's was green and had a giant yellow B on it, Charlie's was mulberry and had a giant beige C on it and Percy's was royal blue and had a giant white P on it. Molly had made them for each boy last Christmas.

She smiled at the three boys and wished them a good night then turned out the light.

She walked back into her and Arthur's room and looked at the twins then smiled. She loved all her boys.
