"ALRIGHT, RORY

"ALRIGHT, RORY..." The girl smiled, "Fred and George request that you stay down here closing up with myself and Verity. They didn't say why. But I assume it has to do with your nasty nineteen celebration."

Rory rolled her eyes, "Kirsty, stop calling it my nasty nineteen. I told them not do throw anything together!"

Kirsty just shrugged in response, a smirk painted across her lips. Ever since the murder of her parents, Kirsty had practically begged Fred and George for work. Her grandmother was lovely but she couldn't spend all day cooped inside her cottage on the coast. So, she became part of the staff at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

"Well, considering they closed the shop two extra hours early and are making you hide down here, I think they threw something together." Verity said.

Rory groaned. She just wanted to spend time with her friends and family on her birthday, nothing special. It was just her nineteenth birthday, after all. What was so special about turning nineteen? Her last year in her teens, but she had become of age two years ago. If anything, it was just an extremely confusing birthday.

The time was five o' clock when George came down the steps and stepped into the shop with a mischievous grin.

"Oh, hello, birthday girl." He smiled.

"Hello, Georgie." Rory nodded.

"We're ready for you."

The girl nodded again, "Great."

"You two are invited to join us, if that's alright with you, Rory?" George asked, gesturing to Kirsty and Verity.

"Of course it's alright!" She smiled, walking towards the steps where George was.

"Well I'd love to, but my grandmother is having a pizza night." Verity sighed, grabbing her jacket. "I can't miss pizza night."

Kirsty giggled, "How sweet. I have no pizza night, so I'll be able to come up and celebrate. I love myself a good old fashioned nasty nineteen."

THE TWINS PULLED THROUGH as they always did. There was just minimal decorations and a minimal guest list of everyone she cared about. Members of the Order as well as her best friends from school were in the flat, sipping butterbeers and eating Mrs. Weasley's cooking.

Remus, Tonks, Bill, Fleur, Andrew, Cory, and the Weasley parents along with Angelina, Marina and Lee sat in various places around the flat.
