Chapter 214 - 213- fifth year’s Christmas (part 3)

BILL'S POV

Seeing them twins move their attention to their gifts, Bill sighed in relief.

While the twins said their dad, Charlie and him deserved to know the secret partner, they didn't know.

In fact, the secret partner of the twins was the best kept secret and the biggest bet the Alley workers.

'Well, at least I won the bet on the house of the partner.' Bill thought with a smirk, looking at Charlie's who seem to notice that fact with a wince, 'That's what? 10 Galleons?' Seriously, while his dragon-living brother was smart as hell, he seem to have been outside the country for too long if he thought their little brothers would only make a business partner with a Gryffindor.

"Merlin's beard!" Their father woke him up from his thoughts with a yell, making everyone to turn towards him, who was looking at a book like it's one written by the founders of Hogwarts themselves.

"What is it dad?" Ginny asked, looking up from her position near the tree and reading the book's title before making a face of disgust.

Their father, seemingly not hearing the question, opened the book and started searching the index before flipping the pages as quickly as possible before stopping and starting to read.

Looking at the cover, Bill and the rest of the group joined Ginny with their own look of disgust when they managed to read the title. '100 recipes made out of troll's flash'.

The twins, of course, started laughing, which was when everyone noticed that the book was the present they got for their dad.

Ginny couldn't help it, he started laughing, soon joined by Bill, Charlie and Neville, one of Ron's friends, with the rest of the fifth year students looking upset.

"So dad," the twin with the Christmas tree-like beard said excitedly, "did you like the present? It took us a while to convince Ha-our partner to make you a copy, and even than, it will only last till new year before it disappears."

Bill noticed the slip-up, and immediately started to make a mental list of all the rich pure blood whose name started with Ha.

"So your partner made this?" Their dad asked with understanding filling his eyes. "That makes sense, he is great with muggle objects."

"Would you two get rid of the charm on the book so we could see what it is about that made dad excited?" Charlie asked looking at the twins, who shook their head.

"It's not us who charmed the book, it's our partner, anyone except the one who is allowed to read the words of the book will read about troll's meat, it's a fail safe." The other twin who smelled like a mistletoe explained.

"You should read page 69, it has the best muggle pranks." The Christmas bearded twin said.

Bill understood what a great gift it is, with their dad's love for muggles but no one to truly explain everything about them to him, it is probably the best gift anyone could get for him.

"That's not fair!" Charlie seemed to complain jokingly. "You are buying dad's love, what about me?"

The twins' grin became even larger.

"I don't know," one of them said. " Fred, do you think our dragon loving brother is worth trying to buy his love?"

"I'm not sure, dear George, maybe he should open his own present?"

No one wasted anytime at opening the gifts the twins have to each of them.

Looking at the deck of cards that was in the gift wrap, Bill gasped.

"Is that?" He looked at the cards they gave him, all of which were tomb based except for one, one humanoid card that was called curse breaker and had a painting of him as the monster.

Looking at his other siblings, he saw each of them held either one card or a deck in their hands, and apparently, so did Ron.

"Why did I only get one card when Charlie and Bill got an entire deck?!" His head became red in anger.

"Oh, shit!" Fred said. "Our mistake, give me the card." Ron with a winning smile face the card to their brother who immediately pulled out his wand and burnt the card.

"Why did you do that for?" Ron screamed.

"Because you are a d.i.c.k!" George said, and their father immediately shouted "language!"

"You think you deserve everything? Do you know how hard people work on each new card? Bill, Charlie, please tell him!"

"Days, even weeks sometimes, only in information gathering, no one truly knows how the cards are created." Charlie said, understanding about the amount of work they must have pulled to make the cards, and his gratefulness grew.

"Thank you guys." He hugged them, joined by Charlie and Ginny, with Ron, in his anger, taking the rest of his presents and going upstairs, his friends looking awkward as they run after him.

CHARLIE'S POV

"It's small and box like, another earring?" Fred asked.

"Doesn't really matter, the effect does." George said. "I think it's a broom-less flying device."

"No way." Fred rejected the idea. "He was too busy with the arithmancy to have the time to work on the needed runes to replace the broom, plus, we only proposed that idea last week."

"What are you talking about?" Bill asked. "Whose the gift from?"

"Our partner." They said together.

'Of course it is.' Charlie thought, their partner seemed like a generous man.

"Well?" Ginny said. "Open them!"

The twins didn't waste a second more, ripping the wrapping, before opening the small jewelry boxes and taking out two bracelets, with notes in their hands as well.

"No freaking way!"

"I feared Luna had no chance!"

The twins said as they put the bracelets on with glee.

"What is it?" Charlie asked.

"This, my dear brother." Fred said as he pulled his shirt up with one hand to reveal a his bell, which had abs quickly forming, while with the other he was quickly devouring the food the elves of the house left a while ago, with George doing the same. "Is a birds magnet." He said as he swallowed the bit of food before both of them removing the bracelet, each having a 6-pack which seem to almost grow into 8-pack.

"Merlin's beard!" Charlie exclaimed "It created muscles!"

"We know!" The twins said.

"That's incredible!" Bill said. "Can I try?" He reached to one of the bracelets before being zapped.

"No, you can't, bracelets seem to be made for each of us specifically." George said. "Something about each body working slightly different and can cause Death…"

"Well," Bill asked, clearly thinking about Fleur, the Vella from Gringots who he is smitten with. "what are the chances you can get him to make me one?"

"I would all love one, there is this girl, Kristen, she has the most amazing a.s.s and-"

"Come on!" Ginny interrupted him. "I'm right here!" And that was it, they all started laughing.

When they finally stopped, Ginny said "I wouldn't mine one…"
