Who: Ron and Fred Weasley.
What: Ron has an emergency.
Where: Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
When: Thursday 8th September, after work.
Ron was not, usually, the kind of person who thought about birthday presents very much in advance. Christmas was easy to remember, because there were displays and advent calendars with little chocolate shapes and people talking about it all the time. Birthdays, in Ron's opinion, snuck up on him in a very unsporting way. It wasn't at all unheard of for Ron to buy presents the day of, which meant they were never very good presents, constrained as they were by Ron's lunch hour and his pocket book. For Lavender, though, Ron was making a very special effort. So special, in fact, that he'd actually finished the carving of her present nearly a month before it was needed.
Just carving wasn't enough, though. Ron was determined to make the jewellery box extra special by having it alarmed to cry out if anyone other than Lav touched it. Except, the spell must have gone wrong somewhere as Ron was adding it, because now the box wouldn't stop wailing. Ron had tried stopping it every way he knew how - which wasn't a great many - and had only stopped himself from throwing the box at the wall because it had been weeks of work.
When Ron's ingenuity failed, he knew where to go. He apparated to the twins' workshop, neither knowing nor caring whether the shop was closed for the night. "Fred!" He had to shout to make himself heard over the box's noise. "George! Help!"
