Moon and Stars

two

Walking around Diagon, the girls got a few books, extra quills and parchment, and whatever else Ginny desired. They passed by Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, also known as the twin's greatest achievement.

The shop was a huge success, and there hasn't been a bad review about it yet. Aurora occasionally goes in whenever the twins are working, but it's currently closed for renovations after the war.

Walking by Knockturn Alley, Ginny spots the shady witches and wizards, giving menacing looks and grimy smiles. She naturally leans closer to Aurora, and they walk faster. Ever since Harry shared about the time he accidentally traveled to Knockturn Alley by floo powder and described the people around him, the Weasley family has been cautious. Everyone knows that the people who reside there aren't the greatest people, and should be avoided.

Ginny spots a few classmates and waves hello, but they finish and travel back to the Burrow, hearing the familiar sound of the arguing brothers downstairs. Ginny puts her things on her trunk, before her and Aurora trot down the stairs, coming into the den to where Ron has returned.

"Bloody hell, George! Piss off, I don't want to test any joke shop items!" Shouts Ron, shoving George's hand, which has some dessert in it, away from his face. The twins have smiles on their faces, insisting that he tries the small pastry looking thing.

Ginny and Aurora watch from the stairs, amused at the fact that the boys are too occupied to notice their return.

"You could've stayed with Harry for longer if I knew they'd be...themselves." Jokes Aurora, nudging Ginny. She laughs quietly, making the boys turn in their direction.

"Lovely, you're home." Says George, looking to his twin. A smile creeps on Fred's face before he turns back to Aurora, taking the pastry from his brothers' hand and bringing it to her.

"New item for the shop possibly, I need a test subject," He says, holding the small pastry out to her face where she scrunches her nose, "Try it for me, Rory? I'll give you ten galleons for it." He bribes, raising his eyebrows and waving the pastry in a supposed intriguing manner.

"I'm not barmy, you know? I'm not eating anything you give me without knowing what it's purpose is." She retorts, pushing his hand away. He rolls his eyes, giving it a whiff himself and smirking at her.

"I'll do you one better. If you take a bite, I will too." He says, slowly putting his hand back out to Aurora. George's eyes widen slightly, but he composes himself with a cough, crossing his arms over his chest and matching the smirk on his twin's face.

Aurora eyes the boys carefully, before looking back down at the pastry. It looked like a regular strawberry puff that she adored, but knowing George and Fred, there was definitely something wrong with it. She looked back to Ginny and Ron for support, but they just shrugged.

"Fine. You have a deal, Weasley." She said, sticking out her hand for him to shake. Fred smiles, grasping her small hand with a firm shake.

"Ladies first, McGonagall." He said, putting the strawberry puff in her already outstretched hand. Aurora hesitates for a moment, before taking a bite out of the pastry. She passes the half eaten puff back to Fred, and he downs the rest.

A few moments pass and she feels completely normal, but Fred's hair begins to turn a bright yellow. She widens her eyes and grabs a piece of her own hair, seeing it turned a deep indigo. Ron and Ginny burst into a fit of laughter, and Aurora hastily ran her fingers through her hair, wondering if the color would come out or if it was going to last.

"Fred! George! What have you gits done to my hair?!" She cries out, turning to Fred, "and your own hair too, for that matter!" She finishes, reaching up and touching his now bright yellow locks. The twins laugh, messing with the newly colored hair.
