Title: hopping mad
Pairing: none
Disclaimer: Weasleys are not mine. **is sad about this**
Fred was finishing his costume when George ran into the bathroom and whirled him around, grinning like mad. He held out his hand, which contained several red jelly-beans. "For the ‘trick-or-treaters’, Try one." The whole Weasley clan, Harry included, to a muggle Halloween party. Harry had explained the concept or trick-or-treating to them earlier that week.
Fred raised an eyebrow but grabbed a bean and popped it into his mouth, eyes going wide instantly. "Bloody hell George, my tongue is on fire!" His complaining was halted, however, when he began bouncing on the balls of his feet involuntarily.
"What the hell is going on, George?!?" By now George was hopping around as well.
"Sorry, forgot to mention. It's the side effect. They're mexican-flavoured jumping beans."
Fred groaned at the bad pun and swiped playfully at his twin, who dodged it and hopped down the hall laughing. Fred’s mind was made up to be cross; he needed to finish his costume, but couldn’t if he couldn’t stop bouncing long enough to get a clear look in the mirror.
Still, he found himself smiling in spite of himself. It really was a brilliant idea. Those muggle kids wouldn’t know what hit them
