Another chapter

Thanks for the review Kira/Fred (you know who you are)

So it's short
Yes, I like keeping people in suspense. Deal with it

Chapter 4.....

The two identical figures walked up to the house in the darkness, arms around each other. George was still shaking, tears leaking from his eyes. Reaching the house, Fred pushed the back door open and the twins slipped in. The house was dark and quiet, it’s inhabitants in bed.
‘C’mon,’ Fred grinned, making his way to the rickety wooden stairs. His twin hesitated, wanting to keep Fred to himself a little longer, they were twins after all. But seeing his eager face, he gave up and followed, not worrying about the large amount of noise they were causing.
‘Heck, Mum’s gonna be a wreck,’ Fred sighed as he rapped on the door.
George snorted, chuckling a little as he tapped his foot impatiently on the floor.
‘Where is she?’ he asked, pushing the door open. Their mother usually woke at the quietest sound...
‘I’m going in,’ said Fred impatiently, lighting his wand and walking into the dark room, floorboards creaking.
‘George?’
‘Mhm,’ came a quiet reply from right behind, George had followed Fred in.
‘Where’s Mum and Dad?’
Both twins pointed their wands at their parents bed. The covers were crumpled, and the pillows even felt slightly warm, but Molly and Arthur were not in the room.
‘This is weird, I don’t like this,’ Fred said uneasily, returning from his check of the bathroom. ‘They don’t just go out in the middle of the night...’
‘Let's wake Ginny. Or Ron, or Percy,’ George suggested, looking round in the darkness as though expecting them to appear.
‘Okay,’ Fred whispered and not bothering to keep quiet anymore, yelled through the house. ‘RON? GINNY? PERCE? GET DOWN HERE....’
But the shouts echoed emptily through the house.
Running up and down the stairs, the twins checked each bedroom in turn, only to find them in the same state as their parents’.
‘What’s going on?’ Fred whispered, his eyes wide and face white. ‘People don’t just disappear...’
Realisation fell like a ton of bricks in George’s stomach as he looked at his twin, not meeting his eyes.
‘What?’ said Fred, seeing his expression. ‘George, what do you know?’
His voice was soft, yet suspicious as he looked at his twin.
‘Well...,’ George began, staring at his feet. ‘Fred... this was an accident... but... well,’
‘What?’ Fred said, now more harsh, impatient even.
‘To get you... I uh... had to kinda do a swap....’
Something in Fred Weasley’s mind clicked.
‘WHAT?’ he yelled, having to restrain himself from hitting George. ‘YOU SWAPPED THE ENTIRE FAMILY. FOR ME?’
George gulped, looking at the floor as new tears formed in his eyes. How could he be so stupid?
‘YOU IDIOT, GEORGE FABIAN WEASLEY, YOU SELFISH PIG,’
‘I... I didn’t mean it,’ he tried to reply.
‘YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING. AND YOU JUST KILLED SEVEN PEOPLE TO GET ME BACK. IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT,’ Fred continued to yell, glaring at his twin.
‘No, Fred, it’s not like that, it was an accident...’ George trailed off.
Fred raised an eyebrow. ‘Well, I’ll be in my room.’ He said coldly. ‘If you can manage without me...’ and he walked into the twins’ room, slamming the door behind him.

George dissolved into tears. It was an accident. He’d been stupid, so stupid, and now he had no family except a twin who’d locked himself in his bedroom. Shaking, he slumped against the door hugging his knees like a child. Fred was most defintly on the other side doing the same, except fuming with anger, or throwing things, but the silence except for his own stifled sobs gave him the impression Fred was doing the first.

Not even trying to communicate with Fred when he was this angry, George stayed slumped against the door as the hours snailed by. Maybe he could talk to his twin once he had calmed down. It was scary seeing Fred so angry, George couldn’t help but hate it when Fred yelled at other people, but when the anger was directed at him, it was a thousand times worse. What made it harder was the fact he could see Fred’s reason; he had been an idiot, and in Fred’s words, a selfish pig. How on Earth had he not realised that he was going to give up his entire family for his twin?
