"Now don't forget, take good care of the Burrow, while we're gone. I don't want to come home to a house filled with hippogriffs or any other magical creatures that don't belong here," said Mrs. Weasley, while eyeing the twins.
"Especially you two Fred and George; no pranks while we're gone," she said sternly.
Mr. Weasley and the rest of the Weasley clan along with Harry and Hermione tried hard not to smirk. They knew Mrs. Weasley was asking an impossible request from the twins.
"No pranks?" Fred and George whined in unison.
"That's like telling Olivander," said George
"Not to make wands." Said Fred
"Simply unfathomable," they said in unison with huge identical grins.
"No worries mum, I think we can handle ourselves. We are all grown adults here," said Ginny.
"I know, dear, but the last time you're father and I went to visit your brother Bill and Fleur, the garden gnomes were running wild, and all the bedroom doors were enchanted to open into other rooms than their own," Molly said, giving the twins a stern look.
"Ah, yes. Remember that one Georgie?" asked Fred
"Of course brother-o-mine. Poor Ronniekins walked in on" said George
"Harry and Ginny, ahh how shall we put it 'rearranging the bed sheets'?" they finished together.
Both Ron and Harry went red in the face, as all the Weasley men and Harry do when they've become embarrassed. Ginny just gave her twin brothers her infamous death stare. Oh, they were going to pay her back for letting that slip, she thought to herself.
Trying to spare Ron and Harry's obvious embarrassment, Hermione tried changing the subject. "I love the new purple bed sheets you got Mrs. Weasley. I'll make sure to wash the matching curtains you found stored away this weekend before I put them out. Are there any other chores we'd have to take care of while you're gone?"
"Oh yes, dear. I've got them written down somewhere. Oh Arthur, where did I put that list of chores?" she asked her husband before they went to the kitchen in search of it. Harry and Ron glanced over to Hermione and gave her a relief-filled smile. Hermione always knew how to get them out of awkward situations.
"New purple bed sheets? I wouldn't mind helping you rearrange those" Fred told Hermione with a sly smile and wink.
"Ha. As much as Mione would love to be helped by you Gred, she's well aware that I'm the better looking twin, mate. Isn't that right, Mione?" said George.
"I think you're parents are more than eager to arrange the new bed sheets themselves. It's for their new bed, I've been told." replied Hermione, with a smile of her own.
"Ugh. Merlin's pants, Mione" said George
"No need for that mental image," replied Fred with a disgusted look on his face.
Serves them right, thought Hermione.
She loved the witty banter she could carry with the twins. It was comedically challenging trying to keep up, but it was worth it when she won every now and then.
A few hours later, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had left to Bill and Fleur's beach cottage. They were staying with the couple for a few days since Fleur had just given birth and needed help around the house.
The evening came and went without much commotion. Percy had returned to his flat in London, where he had some paperwork, needing to get done for work. The twins had gone back to their store to restock supplies. They wanted to get as much work done, since they had decided to close up early the following day, Saturday, because the Weasley's were holding a small get-together for the DA members and old Hogwarts friends.
Harry and Ron were playing Exploding Snap, when Ginny decided to talk to Hermione about some party details.
"Mione, do you think we should get some Muggle liquor for the party tomorrow? I know Fred and George are bringing tons of Butterbeer and Firewhiskey, but it'd be a great idea to have some muggle liquor so we can play some of those muggle games you told us about." Said Ginny.
"Yea. I think that's good. Do you know how many people are showing up? That way we can head into Diagon Alley and then muggle London and get as much as we need." Replied Hermione.
As much as Hermione loved to see her friends, she wasn't much of a drinker. But, since the end of the war, she'd been trying to loosen up, and just relax. It was odd not being on the watch and fearing the strike of death eaters. It took some time getting used to it, but she had been having fun just being a young adult. So, she was determined to help Ginny make the party as interesting and fun as possible.
"I know Neville, Hannah, Luna, Oliver, and Lee, are coming. But, I think Lavender and Parvati might come as well. I'm not sure," replied Ginny.
"Ok. A few bottles of Vodka, and maybe some tequila might be fun. We should definitely get the tequila, it'd be hilarious once we start playing never have I ever," said Hermione laughing to herself. Ginny just gave her an odd look, she'd never heard of such a game. But, it had to be good if Mione was laughing about it.
The party was sure going to be fun.
