Fred closed the book and pushed all the mints but one across the table to where George had been working on his essay. He pointed his wand at it and began to mutter as he passed his wand over it several times.
After about a minute of this the mint exploded and sent little pieces of mint across the room. One of the pieces embedded itself in Fred's right cheek, just below his eye.

George bounded over to the table where his brother was sitting and laughed. "So you've found a use for the mints?" he asked happily.

Fred pulled the mint shrapnel out of his cheek, where tiny beads of blood began to form along the cut. "Yeah," he said with a laugh as he wiped his cheek with the back of his hand, "Mustache Mints. Got the idea from your little encounter with Ron over there."

George laughed and sat down. "I love it. I think we've got enough to begin sales. I think we should debut with these when they're finished and the canary creams."

Fred nodded. "And whereas you'd just molt after a few seconds with the canary creams, I think these should last until you shave them off."

"Agreed," replied George. He pulled several towards himself and began to mutter as he passed his wand over them.

After having worked on the mints for some time Fred decided to try one. He placed it into his mouth and after a few moments he sprouted a lovely handlebar mustache. He knew something was wrong immediately for his beard also began to get longer and longer. "Blimey! That's not g-mm. MMmmmmhmhmamhmm." His words were muffled by the hair that was now covering the lower half of his face.

George began to laugh so hard he couldn't breath. He stood with his wand and walked around the table to his brother.

Fred stood and grabbed his wand, his beard now around his knees.

George pointed his wand at his brother's beard and said, "Finite Incantatem!" hoping that would be enough to stop the growth.

Fred, glad that his beard had stopped growing, grabbed it near his neck and cast a severing charm. He then vanished the hair that was now separated from his, now, neck-long beard. He lifted the hair covering his mouth and said, "Thanks. Here, you fix up that little problem with them and I'll go upstairs and shave. Be right back." Fred ran up the stairs to the dorm to shave.

George nodded, still smiling, and set to work fixing the problem with the mints.

George, hoping that he'd fixed them, ate a mint. Moments later, to his amusement, he was now sporting a wonderful Fu Manchu mustache.

Fred came back down to find a nice mustache on his brother. Smiling, he grabbed one of the mints and popped it into his mouth. Seconds later he had a fine pointy goatee along with two spears of hair on either side of his upper lip.

George beamed, "Excellent! Alright, here, you duplicate those and I'll get the canary creams ready." George conjured a basket and filled it with their canary creams.
