Fred and George came walking into the house muttering and then realized everyone seemed to still be huddled around that girl.  They directed their attention to Ron who had a look on his face that told the twins he had some sort idea on what was

"Hey!" Ron shouted, less manly than probably preferred, as he was dragged backwards. He was used to it, of course, but sometimes it was safer to put up less of a fight.

As soon as his brothers had stopped, he half heartedly pushed them away. Rolling his shoulders a bit, he grunted, "What ya want, then?"

[twinsweasley]

The twins folded their arms and glared at Ron. "We want to know what you know," demanded George. "Ron, you know what's going on and we just want you to let us in on it. If you don't, you really don't want to know what we'll do to you," stated Fred.

((ooc: No worries... Happy that you're back!))

Ron made some low muttering noises, but turned around to shut the door, peeking in as it softly closed.

Facing back towards his brothers, he gave them a pointed look, "Not much more than you do. They don't tell me anything either, you know..."

"I know that girl, Sam, she's was taken in by Mum a few months ago... you knew that... she got sick, stayed at the house before going back to school for a bit... when she came back, I didn't really talk to her. She's... 4th year? 5th year? I'm not sure. Then one day a few weeks back, out of the blue, she walked up to me while I was writing an essay, started up a conversation... a very awkward conversation. Talked about Charlie a lot. Don't think I've ever heard Charlie mention her, though."

He looked back at them pointedly, "What do you guys know?"

"For once we know less than you," said Fred. The twins had looks of utter disbelief.

"We at least know that Charlie is bent even more out of shape cause of this girl," George added. "There might be something going on between them, you think?"

The twins began to pace back and forth in opposite directions, every now and then looking at each other as they passed by.

In the other room, Molly continued to make Sam take bites of the sandwich and drink some water.

Molly made a tisk and looked to Arthur. "Where is Joey? It should not take this long to get a room ready!" she said looking yet again disappointed at Joey.

Arthur simply shrugged knowing it wise not to say a word when Molly was fustrated.

Sam shook her head no weakly. "I don't need a hospital. I'm fine."

[molly_w]

Molly was getting quite fed up with Sam's poor attitude and Joey's lack of parenting.

She said in a steady but stern tone "Samantha, when you are an adult, and Joey is no longer a guardian, then you can decide for yourself if you need a hospital. At the moment, you have shown that you are not old enough to make that decision."

Molly avoided using the term immature as not to add to the tension. Arthur watch the two girls, suddenly desiring to hold his Ginny. He could not fathom dealing with a girl like this every day.

[tomboyinadress]

"Yes Aunt Molly." Sam said dully.

[twinsweasley]

"They were going out? For how long?" demanded Fred. George stood silent unsure of what to say or do at that moment. Finally George opened his mouth and asked, "So how many people knew about this and how long have they known?" Fred had an expression like he was ready to burst. How could this have been going on under the twins noses?

Hermione found Bill and the twins with Ron. She placed her hand on Ron's arm and did a mental count. "Where's Charlie?" she asked.

[bill_wolfweasly]

"Not a clue. Ask Fred and George, they seem to want to spy on him," Bill said, his feelings a bit ruffled.

[ruddy_spiders]

Ron had no intention of joining the conversation, instead choosing to quietly fill Hermione in, "That Sam girl in the next room was apparently... involved with Charlie. The twins guessed right."

Molly took the pillow from Arthur as he started to unfold the blanket for her.

Molly turned to Sam with the pillow in hand. "Lift your head up dear, this is better for your neck" she said as Arthu stood with blanket unfurled and standing ready to envelop her in it.

[tomboyinadress]

Sam lifted her head up obediently for Molly.

[molly_w]

Molly placed the fluffy down pillow behind her head and Arthur came up and threw the blanket over her. Both the Weasley parents tucked her in and then rose.

"Sam, Arthur and I are going to step out for just a second dear. We'll be back soon, and if you need anything, just say something, there is always someone within earshot of ya." she said smiling.

Sam nodded and rolled onto her side weakly, trying to sleep.
