"Do you think we should jump on them?" Lee whispered to Tori. The two sat on Lee's bed after wrapping Lee's gifts to both the twins.

Tori, surprisingly, was up early. She had gotten up around six in the morning and found Lee standing by the girl's dormitory door.

"Took you long enough. I was afraid I was going to have to ask Alicia to get you. Can you help me with something for the twins?"

Tori had agreed, helping him wrap his gifts and it caused the two of them to talk more. Tori didn't realize how much they had in common, and she actually enjoyed hanging out with Lee.

"Nah," She replied, "Just throw something at them in the next five minutes." She ignored her stomach as it rumbled like a creature from the Forbidden Forest. "What? I'm hungry." She muttered, causing Lee to laugh.

He glanced at the clock in the corner of the dorm which displayed that it was almost eight o'clock. "Alright, let's get them up," Lee smirked. He stood up on his bed, balancing back and forth. He began to count down on his fingers before leaping off his bed and onto George's.

"Get up! I'm not letting you sleep any longer!" He shouted, jumping up and down. Tori giggled, running to Fred's bed. She grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him awakes like he had done to her many times over the Christmas holiday. "Get up!"

The Weasley twins groaned simultaneously, exhaustion written over their faces. Fred put his pillow over his face and Tori decided to go for a nicer approach. "Fred," She called in a sing-songy voice. "Come on, mate. It's your birthday!"

"Tired!" Fred replied, burying his face further into his pillow. "Come on, don't you want to see what I got you?" She asked him, a small smile on her face. She had looked long and hard and even had to pull a few strings to get their gifts. (By pull a few strings, she meant begged Charlie to buy them, with her money, from Hogsmeade.)

Fred eventually got out of bed, rubbing his eyes repeatedly as if that was going to wake him up. "Happy Birthday!" Tori squealed, hugging her friend quickly.

"Thank you, Tori." Fred chuckled, hugging her back. "Merlin's beard. You're twelve." She muttered, placing her hand on her forehead with a mocked surprise face.

"Right. And you turn twelve when? June twenty second?" Fred began to pull the sheet up to his bed in order to make it. Lee, unfortunately, was still trying to get George up. "Come on, mate." He called, poking George, who slapped him in the face with his pillow.

"June Twenty Third," Tori replied, handing him one of the pillows on the floor. "Your room is filthy. No wonder the other people left." Tori glanced at the other beds filled with books, clothes, and even some food.

"What do you mean? It's our workshop!"

"A filthy workshop." Tori scoffed, gesturing to a sock. "Now come on! I'm starving."

Owls screeched overhead, dropping mail onto expecting students. Tori hardly ever watched for them, since she hardly got mail. The Weasley's owl swooped down, dropping three letters.

Fred and George took their repeated envelopes. They began to open them when Fred glanced at the third one. "Oh, here Tori. This one's for you,"

Tori gave him a strange confused look, taking the letter from his hand. She began to open it, taking the letter out of the envelope. Tori unraveled the paper to see two types of handwriting.

Dear Tori,

I hope you're keeping those boys in check! Seriously, please make sure they don't keep causing problems! I don't want to get another letter home!

The boys must have read a similar line, cause they both simultaneously rolled their eyes.

I want to remind you once again, you're invited over this summer all summer! Please remember that!

Sending love,
Molly

p.s. hi Tori, it's Ginny! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please...

There were about fifteen more pleases.

Please come over this summer! Ron is really annoying and I miss you like crazy!

Ok, Mum's telling me to give her the letter but please write back telling me you'll come!

Bye!!
Ginny.

Tori laughed to herself, putting the letter back inside its envelope. She turned to both twins with an amused look at both of their faces. "Love you too Mum." George scoffed, putting down his letter.

"She has a point you know..." Angelina leaned over George's shoulder for him to give her a weird look. "Don't read my letter."

Tori helped herself to a delicious plate of pancakes as breakfast continued on. "Are we giving gifts now? Or later?" Alicia whispered to Tori.

"Um, later." Lee poked the girl gently. "You're just hoping that the glue on your packages dry." Tori chuckled quietly as she watched the boy nod. "Absolutely."

✧    ✦    ✧

"Okay! Okay! Open mine next!" Lee shouted, getting up to reach under his bed. He pulled out two brightly wrapped gifts before handing them to each twin. They thanked their friend and began to open the gift.

Tori leaned against one of the pillars holding up the top of the bed. The group was all in the boy's dorm since the boys couldn't get into the girls.

The twins thanked Lee once again, holding up their new gifts. "Alright. My turn." Tori announced. She turned next to her, grabbing an orange gift and handing it to George before giving a red one to Fred.

"Alright, open it."

The twins nodded and began to unwrap the paper. They tore it open to reveal a couple of sugar quills, screaming yo-yos, and each of them got a hat with their first initial on it. "You want people to tell us apart?" George joked, putting it on to see if it fit his head.

Tori shrugged, chuckling herself. "It would make it easier sometimes." She got a hug from her friends as they thanked her. "Thankful Charlie was willing to get them from Hogsmeade." She told them. "I just told him what to get and paid for them, he went out to buy them."

"Well, thank you. You really are the best!" Fred told her, grinning. Tori gleamed as they all got up. Abruptly, Alicia ran down the stairs and shouted up to them.

"Last one of the quidditch field is cleaning the boy's room!"

"Bloody hell, no!"
