Who: Jamie and Fred
Where: Outside of Fred's shop
What: Getting a microwave home
When: just after work today
Rating: PG for potential profanity

With a mum like theirs, you'd think that Fred and George would've inherited some kind of talent for cooking. But no, not in the slightest -- both of them were hopeless. Oh, they could manage a fine bowl of noodles or rice, and both were proficient in ordering in takeaway, but left to their own devices they really might starve.

Which is why when Fred finally figured out what this micro-wave thingy did, he absolutely had to have one as an early Christmas present for himself and his brother. The trouble was, this wasn't the tiny one, no. Bigger was better, and he got the hefty, nigh-unbreakable model to take home with him. And then discovered it was too long and too big around to carry comfortably.

Well, damn it, anyway.

He'd managed to drag it just outside but no further when someone passed by on the other side of the street. "Oi!" Fred called out cheerfully. "Give you a tenner if you help get this home."

James had been outside doing a lot of nothing...when he'd noticed that familiar shock of red hair. He'd have called him Uncle George, but he knew Uncle Fred was around, too. Smiling brightly, he said, "Well how can I say no to a family member that will give me money for helping?"

He studied him for a moment as he moved to help him with the microwave. "Hello, by the way. I'm Jamie." He was quiet for a moment before he said, "And...you are...Uncle George's doppleganger." There was a slight smirk at that. "You've got both ears." Which was the explanation for how he knew and also for the excitement rushing through his body at the moment. "Which means you're Uncle Fred."

	Fred grinned widely at that. Anyone who'd call himself a Weasley happily was all right by him, after all. "Am not," he said. "Georgie's my doppleganger. You can tell 'cos the ear makes him more evil." He tapped his intact ear and nodded sagely. He squinted at James curiously. "Which one are you, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

James laughed, smiling widely. "Oh. I see. So he's your evil twin." His smile widened a little. "Good to know that, then."

At the question, James replied, "James Sirius Potter at your service. It's a lot less confusing to call me Jamie, though. I promise you." Why he felt the need to make that a promise, he didn't know. "I'm Harry and Ginny's oldest. It means I'm the most awesome."

	"And I'm his evil twin. 'm thinking of growing a sinister mustache." He twiddled the non-existent facial hair in his fingers. "Aw, Gin was always my favorite sister." He laughed a little and offered Jamie a hand; when he took it, he'd pull him into a hug. "Awright then, welcome to the family, an' all that, Jamie. Let's get this thing back to mine."

"So you're both evil." James snickered slightly. "That explains everything."

There was a brief pause before he said, "And only sister." He let out a slight, surprised noise as he was pulled into a hug but smiled almost a moment later. It was strange to be hugging someone he'd never met, but at the same time, it was exciting. "Well, thank you for the official welcome." He glanced down at the microwave and nodded a little. "Let's go."

"Did you expect anything less?" Fred shook his head. "Sad state of affairs in the future. Would've thought we'd have made more of an impression on the impressionable youth. Should've been Wireless plays about my heroism. And evil. Really."

"Favorite, youngest, one of those," he said, "and you can tell her I said exactly that." He leaned down to pick up one end of the box. It wasn't heavy, just awkward as could be. "You ever want stories of her as ickle Ginnykins, you just say the word. There's loads."

"Expect anything less? No. Never." James smiled a little. "You should clearly bother Lee more. Not that he's here to bother, but..." Well, maybe they couldn't do much about that. Especially when it seemed like people forgot things when they left. He didn't like the idea. "Heroic evil."

Jamie moved to help pick up the other side, smiling widely at his uncle. "I always want stories of Mum when she was little. She gave Uncle George a look once when he tried, but I don't think she's here anymore, so I guess you could always tell me anyway!"

	"It'd be brilliant if Lee was about. He'd love the shop." He started moving up the street, slow and easy enough that Jamie wouldn't have any problem following. "I wish Gin was here, I really do. She's probably the clever one of us. Don't ever tell her I said that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I bet he would." James was really trying to get past that stage where he was in absolute awe of the situation he was in. That was the thing about knowing you were talking to someone you'd never met before because of...things he wasn't about to start thinking about.

"I wish she was, too. Who else is supposed to give me motherly advice and embarrass me when I bring people home to meet them?" Which gave him an almost comical image of one of his uncles dressing up like Ginny and him bringing Scorpius to meet them. He laughed a little. "I won't tell so long as you don't tell her I might not be absolutely against such...embarrassment."

	"I will never say a word. We sharpish lads, we have to stay strong against the mum-types." He grinned across the box at Jamie. "You'll have to pop by some time, George an' me, we'll give you some tips." (Reply to this) (Parent)
