June 1st - June 19th
It's almost summer! The last few weeks of school have come, and students will need to study hard for their final exams! Don't let up yet, or your grades won't be what you want them to. Of course, the weather is almost perfect and pristine, in attempts to lure students away from their studies.
The Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
12 years ago, Fred and George escaped from Hogwarts, which at the time was under the rule of Dolores Umbridge. Since that point in time, they monopolized the joke industry. Though out of their old regards for Zonko's from their years in Hogwarts, they refused to put them out of business, and took the chance to welcome some friendly competition.
Though Zonko's never was as popular as it used to be since Fred and George opened up the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes (now with locations in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade). With the millions of galleons made from their new business, Fred and George built their parents a new home at the exact location where the Burrow once was, making a mansion to rival that of the Malfoy's.
Though Ron Weasley always had his pride, and he refused to take even a knut from his brothers. He continued to work for the Ministry in the Games and Sports department, making a fair amount of money with just enough to provide him a decent home and a few luxuries every now and then.
Though once a year, Fred and George sponsor a family trip to the pyramids in Egypt.
