Even though Charlie's Christmas present was already packed and ready, Molly couldn't ignore the fire in her son's eyes while he pleaded for a toy dragon as if it's a true treasure.
She couldn't even imagine how this silly little toy would determine Charlie's entire future.
Happy birthday, Charlie!
my art may never be as good as i want it to be, but i have hands and a pencil and i will make that everyone else’s problem
Ah, teenage love. I'm sorry.
Never tried to tell a story through animation before. It's rough and more like a few looped frames than an actual animation, but I'm proud I managed to do something. I was looking at animation for a long time now, but couldn't figure out what I want to show or say. Not like I know now, but at least I made a move.
Hope y'all like it because I'll make a few more.
p.s. If someone wants to write a proper fic, please do! We all need some new Glee content
We all know Percy was incredibly ambitious and wanted to work his way through the leadership of the Ministry. I don’t think he would have just upped and quite his job at the Ministry, and I think he would have put all his energy into rebuilding the Ministry after the war. To helping Kingsley in any way he could and righting the wrongs that he and Fudge had helped put into place. And while the allure of power and prestige, to make something of himself, would still be there, grabbing his attention at various time, but I don’t think his heart would have been in it.
I think Percy’s drive to attain glory and prestige would be irrevocably damaged after the war. After he realized all the damage he had personally had contributed to by working in the system without questioning it. All the families he tore apart by assisting Umbridge. The immense amount of pain he caused his own family. He would funnel his ambition and rive into helping people and righting his wrongs, but he would prevent himself from attaining positions of power. A bit like dumbledore. After Fred had died, even though he’d forgiven him right before, Percy just couldn’t figure himself and the goals that had always driven him forwards broke.
He didn’t really plan to join George at WWW. It started a year after George reopened the shop (which took a while after the war, being filled with just too many memories for George). George asked Percy if he would help him with filing the shop’s taxes (yes wizards pay taxes). And while Percy huffed and rolled his eyes when George presented him with a mess of loose receipts and ledger rolls and notes hastily scrawled for orders, he of course helped him.
That’s how it first started. Percy was appalled at the state of the shop’s finances, not that George didn’t have a handle on it, just it was organized chaos and Percy does not do organized chaos. Percy is a strict rule follower and lives by color coded folders. So he spent four days organizing WWW’s finances and filing their taxes. After that he insisted on regular meetings with George to go over the finances. Because “I know you’re just going to ask me to do your taxes next year, this is at least saving me some time later by keeping everything neat now, George.”
So Percy continues to manage the shop’s finances on a regular basis and George is happy to let him. Over time George starts coming to Percy for more than just taxes help and financial advice but asks him his opinions on various business related ideas. Percy is the one George takes with him when he checks out buildings to expand into Hogsmeade, Percy is the one he asks for help organizing customer insight groups, he asks Percy to help him set up employee benefits, or even just his opinion on the new employee uniforms.
This continues for five or so years. George never asks Percy to come on full time but increasingly asks for Percys input and help while Percy gives his time more and more without George even asking. One day, George is surprised to find Percy at the shop during the middle of the day, asking him what he’s doing here. “Oh well this shipment of doxy eggs was coming in after it accidentally got shipped to Bulgaria and after all the trouble I went through to get it here I needed to make sure it was the correct order.”
“Perce, you didn’t have to do that. We have staff they would have figured it out. You didn’t have to leave the Ministry in the middle of the day,” said George.
A nearby employee shouted out “yeah you’re making us look bad and you don’t even work here!!”
“Maybe I should,” Percy mumbled more to himself than anyone else.
“What” George said, seeming rather stunned.
“I don’t know,” whispered Percy not quite making eye contact with George, “I just thought you would have asked by now. You know, asked me to come on full time. But I get it, it was always yours and Fred’s thing”
But George cuts him off from saying anything more with a hearty chuckle and a shake of his head. Percy just stares at him, at a loss for words, not quite sure why George is laughing at him. “Damnit Percy. If I had known.”
“Known what?” Percy asked perplexed.
“Known you had actually wanted to work here! I never offered because I didn’t want to get in the way of your grand plans to rule the universe.”
Percy looked at him, just observed his brother and took him all in. He looked slightly flabbergasted, but then a small, sad smile crept on his face. “No. I... no. My plans for power broke pretty quickly after... well... and the war... and... you know.”
He made eye contact with George and words were passed effortlessly between them, without anything needing to be said aloud. They embraced each other in a way they’d never truly done before; as brothers and as a support system for one another.
“So what do you say? Should we get you an apron now? Or do you need to resign from the ministry before I put you to work” George chuckled to Percy.
And the rest is history. Percy joining the shop allowed George to focus on the stuff he was passionate about: inventing the products and marketing (because he really does have the eye for that). Percy gave feedback and a few ideas of his own every now and again. But really he was there to keep the whole place running smoothly and organized (something he revelled in) and act as George’s sound board, his confidant, and his partner. Something he needed more than all the rest.
Not giving up on weasels, no worries!

Ginny and Fred being cute lil dorks
I believe she joined each and every prank the twins did before they went to Hogwarts. She demanded to be included in the gang or she'll spill all their dirty secrets to mom. The twins were absolutely 100% terrified of little Ginny. She knew everything. Their lives were in her small hands.
Well, actually, most of the time they only let her think she's oh so scary and hold some kind of power over her older brothers. George and Fred love to have her around and adore her witty brain, her humor, her perseverance. She is a perfect partner in crime. Her blackmail has nothing to do with it, though they figured she gains some confidence from this and thought it won't hurt to let her be in charge.
This bond sort of faded after twins spent their first year in Hogwarts and when Ginny went to her first year she found "more mature people to have around". But they built a new, more powerful connection. They often work on WWW products together. Someone has to control those mad scientists, right? Both Fred and George are the best to put anyone into good spirits, support ideas. Fred sucks in comforting, though. She taught their dumb asses how to actually treat someone you like. "No, those pick-up lines weren't any good, Bill definitely pranked you." Ginny translates mom's speeches to Gred and Feorge's language. She's the reason they stopped fighting. They listen to her. Still not mom, no, have to keep rebels reputation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (George's secretly a mommy's boy, although no one needs know about this, especially Fred)
Gee ♥️
I really love him with a messy bun help

So, first of all, I do NOT believe, that these two dumbasses had no scars from all explosions and experiments. You can disagree and say that they could probably wipe away scars with magic. And I'm not saying you'll be wrong. But think about it, why would they do that if sCaRs lOoK sO CoOL aNd mAnLy? That would be the official reason for the public. The real one? I believe this could be their way to add more differences between them. Also, for some mysterious reasons (spoiler: someone should learn how to stop his uncontrollable brother and also start to say no at least sometimes) George has the worst and most noticeable scars. Bet poor Molly pulled all her hair out.
Earrings? Fred and George would absolutely 100% look up to and imitate Bill in some ways. What're the most obvious "Bill" things? Long hair, the earring with the tooth and scars. You see my point? Parrots.
I'm a big sucker for long hair. I'm also a sucker for George. Yes, yes, I hysterically ship him with Lee, I know. Don't try to find any logic, I don't have any. It's the only reason we have George with long hair. I can't think of a proper one.
And the last thing. I do love the idea of George with the bump on his nose and Fred with a straight nose. Also, I think Fred would have a crooked nose. Because it's broken quite often. Again, for mysterious reasons. Everyone agreed it's one of his things at this point.
I have no idea if I did it right and kept everything in the right places. There's a chance that I messed it up, oops
I kept drawing different faces for George and thought duck it, I need a proper design. I have zero patience and too excited to wait till tomorrow to make it sparkle with some necessary details, so you might expect a kinda similar post later 🙄
Sorry, I have a thing for long hair, so it was called. Also, I once read a fic where George had a mole on his upper lip and I can't stop thinking about it
p.s. Might change every single thing later idk
p.p.s. It's my vision of the twins(for now at least), it's fine if you don't vibe with it
I have this headcanon that Fred has ADHD and at a young age, it was impossible for Molly to make him pose for family photos. Also, I believe he was much more active than George, which annoyed the latest to no end when he wanted to chill and enjoy the moment and his twin only wanted to "FIIIIIIIIGHHHHT POO FACE!!!!". They built a friendship a few years before Hogwarts when George snapped at him for being too much and for the first time he saw his brother so vulnerable and so hurt. They talked for hours about their feelings. Since then Fred knew when to give George space and George knew that Fred's behavior is not in fact about him being insensitive and annoying on purpose but the lack of understanding and support. He tried his best to make life easier for his brother for the rest of his twin's days and after his death created a line of officially allowed at Hogwarts WWW products for kids with ADHD to fidget with during the classes.
