Second Year,
The Twins Turn 13.

Fred and George avoided the girls, their sleepover had gotten so loud that the prefect had to warn them to be quiet. They found their conversations to be entertaining for the most, they talked about famous people they adored and their favourite music, though the talk of boys stopped them from listening.

Fred couldn't understand why Rhea liked the muggle boy. Even if he had only met Jack once, he never stood up for Rhea when his friends were mocking her. He realised that the muggle girl must have teased her a lot if it put her off being friends with other girls. Angelina and Alicia were the first girls she had ever been friends with and it was most like because of Jack's friend.

"Oi, earth to Fred," George snapped his finger in front of his face

"What? I was listening,"

"Oh really, then what did I say?"

"That I'm the better-looking twin," George rolled his eyes at him,

"What were you thinking about anyway?" he couldn't admit that he was thinking about Rhea, or could he?

"Just Rhea,"

"What about her?"

"I gave her the jumper mum made at Christmas, well, she invited me out with her and her muggle friends,"

"And that warrants deep thought because..."

"You should have seen her she was a totally different person with them, it bugged me a little,"

"I'm sure it wasn't that bad,"

"She changed everything about herself, her attitude, her hair, her clothes, just for them," George had to admit it was strange to think that Rhea was actually concerned about how she presented herself around her muggle friends, but he found Fred's irritation much more strange.

"That is weird, did you mention it to her?"

"No, I just told her, that her hair was fine how she usually has it,"

"Well, our Rhea is back, and coming to our birthday party isn't she?" George asked, they both knew that for the last few days she had spent most of her time with her sister, the pair seemed to have repaired any issues they had between them.

"We went to her birthday"

***

Rhea sat in the Owlery waiting for her present to arrive, she could hardly sit still, she was excited about their gift. She knew they'd just love it. Leaping off the bench, as Kreacher appeared, he smiled at her, 'I wonder why they sent Kreacher,'

"Miss Rhea, Kreacher bring your order," he handed her a small box that sat in the palm of her hand.

"Erm thanks, it's smaller than I thought,"

"Miss needs to cast the growing charm, to return the item to its regular size,"

"Oh, alright, thank you Kreacher," she pocketed the small box, she knelt down, wrapping her arms around him.

"Kreacher must leave now, Master Carden keep looking for his birthday presents, he still has three weeks to go,"

"He'll never learn Kreacher, see you at the end of the year," she smiled at him as he vanished,

As she made it back to her dormitory, the birthday decorations were in full swing now, she didn't have long if she wanted to wrap the present. She hurried to her room, quickly changed, she considered styling her hair, however, if she made a mess of her hair she didn't know the spell to fix it. She opted for scrunching her hair into a messy bun, leaving a few strands loose.

She held her wand up to the small box, 'Engorgio' returning the box to its normal size. She used a spell to securely wrapped their gift, she tied a bow on top. Years of helping her brothers tie their ties, made her an expert at tying bows. Rhea smiled as she wrote them a little note.

'You probably don't like to share things,
but I know you'll love this and I'm
more than positive you'll find many
wicked ways to use them,
happy birthday, my boys,
love Rhea.'

She hurried through the common room, heading straight towards the boy's bedrooms, she didn't want the prefect to see what she had bought them. On her way she spotted Ethan, Percy and Oliver, the older Weasley brother eyed her cautiously.

"Hi, Percy, is Fred and George still in their room?"

"Yeah," she nodded continuing her journey.

"Do you know what she got them?" she heard Percy ask.

"Erm, no, no I don't," Ethan told him.

"You're a liar, Burke," she smiled as he knew all too well what she had bought them and how much they'd probably annoy Percy with them.

She walked up the stairs hiding the box behind her back, as Lee passed her she smiled, holding her finger up to her lips. He grinned shaking his head as he headed downstairs to find the girls, she smiled, knocking on their door before she entered.

"Happy birthday teenagers," she sang as she held up their present.

"Thanks, Ri," George wrapped his arm around her, "Who's it for?"

"Both of you," she excitedly handed it to them, "quick open it, I want to see your faces when you see it," the pair hastily opened their gift, unable to speak at first, instead they just stared down, small smiles on their faces. "Do you like it?"

"Are you serious, this is practically the best gift ever," George said, she smiled excitedly clapping her hands.

"Good, you wouldn't believe how hard it was for me to get it,"

"We should be causing trouble for a few weeks, I'm sure of it," Fred said, he offered her a small smile, "Thank you, Rhea," she held out her arms, "Oh go on then," she hurried over to him, wrapping her arms tightly around him.

"You're really cuddly," she commented, he took a deep breath.

"I'm only letting you because it's our birthday,"

"Of course you are, Freddie"
