Chapter Sixty-One

Thea stood frozen in place as the group took in the sight in front of them. The windows of Weasley Wizard Wheezes stood out like a firework display in the colorless Diagon Alley. Pride quickly took over Thea, getting rid of all her nerves. Although Thea hadn't been actual friends with the Weasley twins for long spending most of their lives as enemies, she knew that this had been their dream for as long as she could remember. They had now created the dream for themselves. The whole store was a dazzling firework. The window closest to the group was covered in a large poster with flashing yellow lights that drew attention to them almost immediately. 

WHY ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT

YOU-KNOW-WHO?

YOU SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT 

U-NO-POO--

THE CONSTIPATION SENSATION 

THAT'S GRIPPING THE NATION!

At the top of the store was a sole statue that represented Fred and George, capturing their flaming red-hair and their freckled face. Thea's heart dropped at the sight of such familiarity. The statue lifted his hat off, revealing a rabbit then a loud bang of fireworks would explode overhead. Thea looked over to Mrs. Weasley who let out a faint moan, shaking her head back and forth repetitively. Her lips moved silently, mouthing the name "U-No-Poo". 

"They'll be murdered in their bed!" She whispered, angrily.

"No, they won't!" Ron cried, happily. "This is bloody brilliant!" 

Ron and Harry led the group into the store and as soon as they had disappeared into the store, Thea quickly looked around her before pulling the Invisibility cloak out of her pocket and over herself, entering the shop herself. 

Thea's eyes went wide as her mouth dropped open as she looked around at the shelves that surrounded the room. Products filled the shelves, a firework occasionally bounced across the room and a miniature Umbridge on a unicycle, flew overhead, chanting "I will have order." Thea had to try her best not to bump into people or laugh too loudly as the shop was packed full of people. She looked over at all the products, many that she had watched the twins create or had become quite popular when they were selling them in Hogwarts. 

Thea followed the trio further into the store, stopping when she saw Hermione gazing curiously at a light pink stall, filled with different girlish products. 

"Patented Daydream Charms." Hermione read aloud. "One simple incantation and you will enter a top-quality, highly realistic, thirty-minute daydream, easy to fit into the average school lesson and virtually undetectable. Not for sale to under-sixteens." Hermione gazed at the label, looking up to where Harry stood. "You know, that really is extraordinary magic!" 

"For that, Hermione," A voice said behind her. "You can have one for free." 

Thea froze as she looked up at the source of the voice, relaxing when she realized it wasn't who she thought it was. She just hoped the invisibility cloak was covering all of her. Fred Weasley stood in front of Hermione and Harry who were all quite unaware that Thea was standing nearby watching them. He was wearing bright magenta robes that clashed horribly with his red hair, Thea could only assume that George would be wearing a similar set. 

She could hear Hermione and Harry have a conversation with Fred but Thea wandered off continuing looking around the store in her own little world, only freezing when she heard someone call her name. 

Thea turned around to see Harry with Hermione and Ron at his side, whispering her name down the aisles hoping to find her. 

"Thea. Thea." 

Thea slowly walked over to the trio still invisible as she pulled on Hermione's hair slightly to alert them to her presence. 

"Thea. We need the cloak back, is that alright?" Harry whispered quickly. 

"Sure, no problem. What do you need it for?" Thea whispered back. 

"Oh, nothing."

"Does it involve Malfoy," Thea asked, looking to the trio as they all guilty nodded their heads. "Then make sure to punch him in the face for me if you can," Thea said, pulling the cloak off her and handing it to Harry. "Also don't do anything I wouldn't do." Thea smiled mischievously at the trio before they disappeared off into the store. 

"Tut, tut. Honestly, Thea, it's our job to prevent people from getting into danger instead of encouraging them to do it." 

Thea smiled to herself before turning around and seeing who it was although she already knew.

"What are you doing here, Elliot?" 

"Tonks came and got me, said you needed some moral support." 

"I do not need moral support, thank you very much!" 

"Sure." Elliot smiled back at her. 

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. Nothing." Elliot replied holding his hand high in surrender. "You should feel bad."

"What?"

"I was studying for our course tomorrow but Tonks had to drag me out here to help you." 

"LA LA LA LA LA." Thea cried loudly holding her hands over her ears as customers looked over to her in concern.  "Don't make me feel even more guilty than I already am. It was nice to see everyone and all but I kind of wish I was at home studying. Gosh, does that make me a bad person?"

"Of course, Thea." Elliot started but stopped when he saw Thea glare at him. "No, not at all." 

Thea glared at Elliot playfully, which he took as a queue to run away. "Elliot! Elliot! I was joking! I'm not going to kill you, well maybe." 

Fred Weasley stood with his mother and father who were congratulating him while scolding him. He didn't even think it was possible. George had been caught in a similar predicament on a few moments before but had run away to go help any customers. It was in good time too as he studied the woman who appeared in front of him, slightly out of breath.

Thea looked up to see Mr. and Mrs. Weasley standing there with someone extremely familiar. Thea faltered for a second, before forcing a smile back onto her face. 

However, it didn't go unnoticed by Fred, who noticed Thea's slight slip-up. She had changed a lot since he had last seen her, she didn't seem as pale and the dark purple circles under her eyes were less prominent. However, Fred's eyes widened when he saw someone that he didn't recognize standing behind Thea. 

"Oh Thea! And Elliot?" Mrs. Weasley asked when she saw the boy appear behind Thea. 

"Hi, Mrs. Weasley. It's good to see you!" Elliot replied. 

"You too, Elliot!" Mrs. Weasley started. "Now Thea, I just wanted to thank you for coming today. I know you didn't have to as it is your day off but I think everyone quite enjoyed your presence. And I was also wondering if you were coming back with us or not?"

"Of course, it was no problem. It was good to see everyone. But I think I might head home to study because I'll get an ass-whooping if I don't."

"I keep trying to tell her." Elliot chimed in.

"If I want your opinion I will ask for it." Thea turned around, teasing Elliot. "We better head off, Mrs. Weasley."

"No problem, dear. I suppose I'll see you sometime this week with Tonks." 

"See you then," Thea replied smiling broadly before her and Elliot exited the store. 


"It's was good to see her on her day off. She always looks so dead in the morning."  Mrs. Weasley said turning to her son. "But she seemed happy, it was good to see her with Elliot again as well."

"You do know that she broke up with George only a few months ago, right?" Fred questioned looking at his mother in shock.

"Oh of course, I do!  But Thea and Elliot aren't dating, just really good friends!"

"How on earth am I going to explain this one to George?" Fred muttered.
