A: Absolutely Amazing
George Weasley had just finished cleaning up the shop… alone… again, as Fred went to visit Angelina… 4 hours ago… again. Not that he was counting. As he finished wiping down the front counter, an owl swooped in the open window, and knocked over an aisle. George groaned as he grabbed the letter off of the owl's leg. It was a serious-looking barn owl, the large amber eyes blinked up at him impatiently as he opened the letter.
Fred & George,
Guess what? Hermione's coming to visit this year! It totally stinks, since I'm going to be in school, but she's coming to stay at the burrow since her parents are vacationing in Australia to visit some of their old friends who she doesn't like! Isn't that Awesome? I know it is! So come and say hi, she should be here around 4:00.
Lots of love,
Ginny!
George grinned at his sister's enthusiasm. Ginny had a lot of friends in her own year, but since Hermione spent many summers at their house, the two girls had become very close. And it was Hermione…
The clock read 3:15, 45 minutes was enough time to pick up the aisle, and clean up all of the supplies. He let this idea fester for a few minutes, and then chuckled to himself, and waved his wand. As soon as that was clean, he closed up the shop and locked up the register, then apparated back to the Burrow.
"Hey Ginny, is she here yet?" George asked, smoothing down his hair slightly. Ginny turned around, and Hermione came in from the other room. George took a moment to look her over. She had grown about an inch or two, her hair was still adorably bushy, but a bit calmer, and she wore a headband to calm it. Apparently she had spent a few weeks in the sun, because her skin was a bit tan, and had a smattering of freckles across her nose.
"Hey George." Hermione said with a smile, George stared a moment, and he could practically feel his ears turning red.
"Hey Hermione." He responded, mentally patting himself on his back, "How has your summer been so far?"
"Pretty good, Mum and Dad left early, so I stayed with them for a few weeks, but I decided to let them spend time with their friends." She shrugged, with a slightly sad look in her eyes, "how about you?"
"Oh, you know… working at the shop… and… you look absolutely amazing." He stuttered out. Hermione blushed slightly and George took a moment to look back on the past minute, and decided to move past it.
"Is mum in the kitchen?" he asked Ginny, moving quickly through the door.
He heard Ginny giggle behind him.
