... "Mrs. Weasley, the kitten is your present. Everything needed to take care of her is mine." Molly almost protested, but decided it wasn't worth it, and just sighed and nodded. As they left the store, Harry glanced down at the kitten. "What are you going to name her?" he asked curiously. Ginny bit her lip, considering. It wasn't until they reached the door to Fred and George's shop that she came up with an answer. "Selene," she replied firmly. "Like the goddess of the moon." Harry nodded, smiling. "I like it." Molly's moan drew them out of their conversation. The Weasley matriarch was staring with dismay at her sons' new shop. "What were they thinking?" she muttered. Harry and Ginny looked at the storefront, and started chuckling. The whole thing was done in a mess of clashing colors – purples, and oranges, and greens… it looked horrible, and yet, it was so the twins. "Come on," he opened the door. "Let's get inside." Once inside, it became apparent that Molly would not need to worry about her sons supporting themselves. The store was packed. Harry recognized a few of his classmates as he and Ginny split their focus between looking at the wares on the shelves, and searching for their friends and family.

"We figured there were others like dad, who are fascinated by muggle things, and they might like it as well. It probably won't be a big moneymaker, but it'll amuse some people." A shout drew his attention away for a moment, while Harry continued to look around. He picked up a Skiving Snackbox and looked it over. "Anything you want, it's on the house." Harry looked back up and saw Fred standing next to him again. He shook his head. "I can pay," he argued. Fred just looked at him sternly. "Anything for our silent partner," he said, his tone giving no room for argument. "Pick whatever you want. We won't accept any money from you." Harry wanted to argue, but Fred hurried away at another shout, so Harry just shrugged and turned back to the shelf. He added a few more products to the Snackbox in his arms, and moved on, running into Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, who were checking out the Extendable Ears. "These are remarkable," Hermione commented. "The magic the twins have used to create all of this is really quite extraordinary." Harry smiled. "Most people don't realize how brilliant Fred and George really are," he replied.
