[ 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.

[ Just. Laughing hysterically. Oh god she's sorry Ginny but that was sort of beautiful. ]

[feorge]

[And Fred is totally laughing right back. This may be one of his favourite pranks yet.]

[boutant]

[ Doubled over in laughter. Oh god. ]

Well at least-- [ Still laughing. ] At least I know what that hex--

[ Yeah she can't finish her sentence. ]

[feorge]

[Rude! But he's still laughing.]

Glad to have given you your first lesson in offensive spellwork. Just you wait 'til you reach the first hand interactive lessons.

[boutant]

Fred, you've really got to stop threatening me. One of these days I'll think you mean it.

[ She's grinning, though. ]

[feorge]

I've already said I could never dream of it, love. You can trust me. I never lie.

[He gives her a wink, still grinning widely because nothing is going to being today down. Except for maybe witnessing a lover's spat later on.]

[boutant]

Uh-huh. Just remember, power tools. And steel-toed boots, for that matter.

[ Really, she's still just glad he came back after the whole Weeping Angel thing. It's going to ruin her day, too. ]

[feorge]

Anything else I ought to add to the List of Things Not to Get Ariadne for Christmas?

[...Oh my goooood I still haven't replied to Harry's post. ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ]

[boutant]

No idea what you're talking about. [ Innocent big brown doe eyes.

<333 ]

[onlyholey]

Glad someone appreciates our artistry.

[boutant]

[ Your artistry or your sister's skill at hexes? The world may never know, because Ariadne currently cannot breathe enough to form complete sentences. ]

The look-- [ incoherent noises-- ] face--

[ Laughing. Laughing forever. ]

[onlyholey]

[Ah, the sweet sound of laughter. It's moments like this that George revels in.]

Sorry love, what that a sentence?

[boutant]

[ Holding up a hand. She's not sure why she's laughing so hard -- maybe because it was so unexpected, maybe because she finally got to see Ginny's temper and the Bat-Bogey Hex, or maybe because it's early in the morning and everything is currently hilarious.

Okay. Okay. Breathing. Oxygen is good, Ariadne. ]

She is going to kill you.

[onlyholey]

She already took her best shot.

[boutant]

Not if she decides to let you think you're safe before springing something really terrible on you.

[ Which Ariadne may help with, as she's offered to before. Girl solidarity. ]

[onlyholey]

Of course she'll try that. She learned from the best.

[boutant]

And you're not at all worried?

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Oi! Whose side are you on?

[boutant]

I just-- Did you see the look on Fred's face?

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

I was half-awake.

[So no, not really. But she can imagine it was perfection.]

[boutant]

It was beautiful. I see what you meant about that hex now.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

[SO PLEASED NOW.]

Well, it is my favourite. And they deserved it.

[boutant]

[ Don't get her wrong, the fireworks were great. But watching Ginny go to work was a real treat. ]

I wouldn't be too pleased if they'd woken me up, either.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

[Being a terrifying baby sister is what she does best.]

There really wasn't any reason for it, either!

[Well, alright, not entirely true. But the reason doesn't seem like a good enough reason to be up at the arsecrack of dawn to this witch.]

[boutant]

There's never much of a reason to wake someone up that early.

[ She still has that student mentality; mornings are something best left for sleeping through. ]

If it helps, I don't think I've laughed that hard in ages.
