[video]

[onlyholey]

[The video shakily opens to a view of a patterned sheet, stretched out between two chairs. The video fumbles, moving to show a stack of pillows and a wool blanket thrown over the side of a bed before it swings a final time on an extreme close-up of a very young and very freckly face, grinning wildly.]

Oi, Fred! I think I figured out what this does!

[The child waves (George, for anyone who can't put two and two together).]

I think it's like one of those felly-telly-visson Muggles things Dad told us about. But little!

A felly-telly-what, now?

[ And here comes the other one, crawling over in the small space to shove his face right up next to George's, eyes gleaming with something wicked. ]

Nice one, Georgie. I just got that lot set up over here, too. Bring your felly-telly-thingawhater.

Righto!

[The view becomes shaking again as George follows his brother through a sheet-covered tunnel into a brand new section of the blanket fort.]

Blimey! This is brilliant, Fred! Do you think we can connect it into the hallway?

Hmm, not sure that we've enough blankets left.

[ Watch the child masterminds at work as they appraise their work and break into a devious grin. ]

Ready for a bit of reconn - reconn - [ He purses his lips for a moment. Learning new words is hard, shush. ] - reconnaissance, that's the ticket. I reckon Perce's got a few we can nick.

Yeah, brilliant! I distract him and you nick?

[As he speaks, George digs into a nearby box with the familiar WWW logo on it and pulls out a smallish firework.]

You know the drill, same as always.

[ Matching grins and eyes bright, they clap their hands together in their own special brand of secret handshake before clambering off to wreak havoc upon the house, all for the sake of extending their blanket fort.

Just another day in the life of the Weasleys. ]

[ooc: The entire crop of Weasleys have been hit with Age Reversal. You thought they were terrors now. Replies coming from asplodes and kabooms. Blue is Fred, regular is George.]

[redlikecrimson]

What's a muggle?

[kabooms]

A non-wizard person.

[Duh.]

[redlikecrimson]

But what if people want to be wizards too?

[alwaystreasured]

[Oh Merlin help him.]

Children shouldn't play with what isn't theirs.

[kabooms]

But all this stuff says 'Weasley' on it. So it's obviously ours.

[alwaystreasured]

Quite the error, I'm sure.

[asplodes]

Adults shouldn't interfere in what isn't super old like them.

[ Children affairs are children affairs, good sir! ]

[alwaystreasured]

Children should learn to be careful when speaking to professors from Hogwarts.

[gonnabeminister]

Thank you sir! That's what I always say!

[asplodes]

[ Ugh. ]

Of course you're gonna agree with the grown-ups.

[alwaystreasured]

I am on my way, Mister Weasley. I want any wand that does not belong to you in my possession when I arrive.

[weasleyrunt]

None of your business!

[kabooms]

Nice one, Ginny!

[alwaystreasured]

Be careful with your tone when speaking to a Hogwarts professor, Miss Weasley.

[boutant]

[ Oh god she can't even deal with this. ]

Nice fort.

[kabooms]

Thanks! It took us all morning.

[boutant]

How much does it cover?

[asplodes]

Ta, big sister!

[ Anyone that appreciates their work is family, obv. ]

[boutant]

[ Oh. Oh she really can't handle this. ]

You're Fred, right?

[gonnabeminister]

They stole my blankets!

[look, she's an adult, okay. SHE NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.]

[boutant]

[ sldkghsg Percy ]

Could they use them for now, and then you could take them back when you need them for bed?

action! now with fireworks in the bathtub

[gonnabeminister]

WHY IS THERE A FIREWORK IN THE BATHTUB?

[all the flailing. just. all of it.]

WHO DID THIS?

[kabooms]

[Secret tittering from the bowels of the blanket fort...]

[asplodes]

[ And if you happen to notice the tail end of a bundle of blankets wrapped around Fred as he runs back into their room, you're imagining things !! ]

[weasleyrunt]

[All the giggling. ALL OF IT.]
