oo9.

[ video || backdated to the morning of 12/08 ]

[For a moment, there's only the view of a closed door and the faint whispering of someone counting down. 'Three, two, one' - and the door is flung open to film one sleeping Ginny Weasley, but not for long. Immediately thereafter, fireworks start booming outside her window, brilliant lights and colors flashing across the room as George, Harry and Fred barge in, throwing confetti all about the room and cheering unintelligibly.

Ginny was fast asleep — in her own room, mind, not Harry's because she knows they would never have any peace and quiet otherwise - completely oblivious to the fact that Something Wicked This Way Comes. She isn't in a warzone, hasn't been in one for years; but when the room erupts in noise and light and maniacal laughter, she reacts...reflexively.

The youngest (not so youngest) Weasley bolts upright with her wand in hand before she's even entirely awake, firing off vicious hexes in the direction of the shadows moving in her bedroom. One of which being her signature Bat-Bogey Hex.]


EAT BOGIES, YOU BLOODY PIECE OF—

[Shouts and yelps as the highly deserving intruders attempt to evade her attacks. There's a shout - is that George? - to 'Retreat!' but the cameraman goes down, sending the device scattering off to the corner of the room to catch the tail end of Harry and George's escape as Fred rolls around on the floor, struggling with something on his face.]

... Fred? [This is what you get for surprising your sister. She makes an irritated noise and throws another hex his way for the trouble.] You arse!

[Fred barely manages the counter-spell in time to free his face from the bogeys and narrowly dodge the second attack, but he lays on the ground aching in pain anyway, laughing tiredly and dragging himself towards the device.]

Worth it. So bloody worth it.

's right. Our own brand of wizard fireworks, in fact.

I'm--[She takes a moment to think about it, smiling a bit back at him] quite well. Thank you.

[ Something about that sentence makes her wary, but she just snorts. ] Please. I am an architecture student. You are a wizard who went to school in a castle. [ Thank you, Harry's big mouth. ]

Well, yeah, I can think of plenty. But can't a girl sleep in on her third anniversary? I've been stuck here long enough, I deserve a few more hours of kip at least.

What work?

[She gestures to the flashing window filled with explosions and light.]

I didn't ask you to pull anything from stock for me. I'm just your sister.

'cause baby you're a firework

[If there's anyone who could invent fireworks to hold in your palm, it's Fred and George Weasley. Their sister cracks a reluctant grin, the warmth and gratitude for the gesture of what the boys have done spreading from her heart now that the initial shock has worn away.]

What am I ever going to do with you lot? Hopeless. All of you.

[She finally chuckles, closing her eyes.]

It was brilliant, Freddie. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised you kept track.

Glad my moment of heart failure provided some amusement, then.

You know I'm always up for helping you get them back.

I think I can teach them this lesson on their own, but I do appreciate the offer. And I suppose it was sweet of them, in their own stupid way.

Have fun. [ She doesn't ask the occasion, though she wants to -- really, she can guess, what with Ginny having told her about the City and the first curse she experienced. She'd better keep an eye out for mistletoe within the next few days. ]

I just—

[HUFF.]

What would you do? If it's someone's City anniversary? Your first instinct wouldn't be fireworks, would it? Seems a bit much, even for a Weasley.

It'd depend on who the person was, I think. I live with a lot of... [ morbidly depressing ] serious-minded people, so not fireworks for them. But I guess it depends on if you want to let them be unhappy, if that's how they feel about the City, or if you want them to have a good day, too.

Harry did. Actually, he said I should ask you to about it -- about all I got from him was that it's a Scottish castle and there are secret passageways and moving stairs. No real details, which is just cruel to an architect.
