Additional Notes: Written as a pinch-hitter for hp_kris_kringle. Will post the other pinch-hit ficlets over the next few days.


Fred and George never talked about the one time their prank backfired on them for two reasons, only secondary of which is the sheer humiliation it brought upon their reputation as pranksters to have had a joke work against them in the first place.

They never talked about it at all, in fact, not even to agree that they would never tell anybody, or to decide which of the two reasons was the primary one, or what they were to do about that one incident. Instead, the day right after the unfortunate event occurred - Friday the week before Christmas - they went about their business as if Thursday afternoon hadn't happened at all.

Fred wondered if he'd dreamt it.

George wondered if his mind had played tricks on him.

They almost convinced themselves, but when the mistletoe they'd hung above a secret corner of the living room kept Charlie and Hermione in place until they both agreed to kiss each other, Fred caught the blush in George's cheeks and George saw Fred avert his eyes. They both knew then that Fred hadn't dreamt it, and that George's mind hadn't played tricks on him.

But they never talked about it.
