I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters. They all belong to J.K. Rowling.







Chapter Twenty Three: Fred And George Eat Chaos For Breakfast

Lottie's Point of View






"Oh my god, it's their birthday like seven days."

"So that's a week then?" I asked Alex. She was studying the calendar on our dorm room wall instead of her Divination text book, "Shit, so it'll be April soon?"

"Well, yes! Their birthday has always been in April! Since they was born! Has, is and will be! That's how a birthday works!"

"The twins'll be eighteen then?"

"We need a party." Alex concluded, jumping up off the bed, "We need a party with balloons and decorations and firewhiskey!"

"You've certainly put some thought into that one." I nodded, sitting up and laying down my Transfiguration homework, "Well, you run into Hogsmeade and collect whatever you feel we'd need and I'll set a date and get the word going around."

"Great, bye." Alex rose a hand then zipped out of the room. You don't need time to organise a birthday bash, you just need an Alex.

The first of April inconveniently fell on a Monday, so that meant 30th March was a Saturday and became solely dedicated by Alex to be the a whole day of the twin's birthday celebrations. I had brooded over breakfast about why 18 was more of a special birthday than 19 and 20, as well as later dragging 21 into the mix. I had also ended up in Hogsmeade again swapping lollies with George and the four of us taking shots in the Three Broomsticks. They would have gone all afternoon until I steadied Alex who steadied the twins, and we made it back to the common room for six o'clock where Harry had let off a popper and confetti was raining down, "SURPRISE!"

"You was mean to wait for the cue!" Alex snapped. Confetti landed in her hair as she stared Harry down. He cowered back behind the couch and mumbled several apologies before Alex forced him to speak up and finally accepted it. She then spun around and proclaimed, "PAAAAAAAAARRTTAAAAAAAYY!"

It was getting on for midnight when everyone finally went to bed and we could start our clean up operation. It took until quarter to one, and the four of us opted for a fifteen minute rest before going to the dorms, "That was awesome."

"Don't thank me, thank her." I pointed across to Alex. Surprising, I believe the three of them was more intoxicated in the Three Broomsticks earlier that afternoon than they was at that moment, but Alex raised a bin bag to the twins when they stuck their thumbs up in her direction,

"Alrighty! It was Lot who spread the word!"

"So it wasn't all Alex!" George pointed an accusing finger at me and I shrugged,

"I can run about and talk to people quickly. Easy."

"It spread like wildfire." Alex said as she took a seat next to George on the opposing couch to me and Fred. I first began to suspect something was up when I noticed George and how he had began to awkwardly fiddle with his thumbs,

"Look." Fred started, leaning forward from his slouchy position, "There's something ... me and Georgie gotta tell you both."

"Oh Merlin, you're pregnant." Alex placed her hands on her cheeks and was beaming, "Congratulations!"
