This story is based off a plot bunny by Twisted Biscuit at FictionAlley. Therefore, I don't own anything, except Marni. The plot is Twisted Biscuit's and the Harry Potter universe is J.K. Rowling's. Thanks.
" Mum, Dad," George Weasley said nervously one night at dinner. The entire table turned to look at him, as nervousness was not something often heard in George's voice. Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter joined all the Weasleys, minus Percy (even Bill, Fleur, and Charlie were there), and George reddened slightly at all the attention.
" Yes, George?" Molly Weasley asked, looking concernedly at her son. He was acting very odd. George said, " I met a girl in the village, the other day. We… we've had a few dates. And we're going steady." " Oh, George!" Molly cried excitedly, her face glowing as the rest of the table snickered. " Who is she? What does she look like? Is she pretty? Where did you meet her? When do I get to meet her?"
George gulped nervously. " Her name is Marni St.Clair. She has beautiful blonde hair. She's gorgeous. We met at the bookstore where she works." He ignored Fred saying to Ron and Harry, "A bookstore?" " And you may not get to meet her for a while," George added, and saw his mother's smile falter slightly.
" Why not?" Molly asked. George took a deep breath and said, " She's a muggle." George looked to see his mother's smile completely disappear. His father, on the other hand, was smiling widely. The rest of the table looked slightly interested. " A muggle?" Molly repeated, and everyone looked at her in surprise. Molly turned to Arthur. " Arthur, George, I need to speak with you in the sitting room."
Harry's POV:
Harry was really surprised and turned to see Hermione in shock too. Mrs. Weasley seemed… upset. He could understand her being indifferent at this 'Marni' being a muggle… but to be upset. Mrs. Weasley wasn't biased. Not as far as Harry knew, at least.
Harry watched in shock as George and Mr. Weasley went into the sitting room with Mrs. Weasley. He turned to Ron. " What was that all about?" " No idea," Ron said. " Mum probably just wants to congratulate George in private. We didn't think he'd ever start dating. He didn't even take anyone to the Yule Ball." Fred, on the other hand, looked wary.
" I don't know, Ron," Fred said. " She congratulated you and Hermione in front of everyone when you to finally got some sense." Hermione and Ron both reddened significantly. They had started dating two weeks previous and weren't allowed to be in the same room alone anymore. When Mr. Weasley had kicked Ron out of his own room once, they hadn't spoken for a day.
Remus said, " I'm sure Molly is just addressing some concerns about George dating. I know my parents did it to me when I began dating." " My parents did it to my first boyfriend," Tonks said. " Poor bloke. Brought me home five minutes past curfew. My dad tore him to pieces. Never went out together again."
George's POV:
The minute the door shut behind her, Molly said in a stern, soft voice, " You will break up with her." " WHAT?" Arthur and George asked at the same time. " What do you mean?" " I mean you will break up with her." " Why?" George protested. " Mum, you know muggles are just as worthy as wizards. She's an amazing girl. I told her about the wizarding world. And she's okay with it. And…"
" And she's a muggle," Molly said. " A muggle who is completely unable to defend herself against Death Eaters. You're a member of the Order, George! She could be in danger." " That's why I told her! She could stay with us! She could be protected! I care about her, mum." " Yet you didn't see it fit to inform us of this 'Marni' girl?" Molly asked.
George grew angrier. " I wanted to see how well I would get on with her. I'm not breaking up with her, Mum." " Fine, George," Molly said angrily. " But when she gets killed, or worse, don't blame me. And I have no intentions of meeting her." " Fine!" George exclaimed angrily. " I'll just explain to Marni that my mother is an absolute bitch…" " GEORGE FABIAN WEASLEY!" Molly shouted. " HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT HORRID NAME?"
" It's what you are," George said simply before returning to the kitchen where the entire table seemed to have heard them and were staring in shock as George entered. " Fred, I'm going back to the flat. Bye, all. I may not see you for a while. Take care." And with that said, George apparated out of the house, and out of the lives of those at the Burrow, for awhile, in his opinion.
Please review. Was it good? Did it suck? Next chapter will actually introduce Marni. This was just a beginning chapter. Is Molly really just worried about Marni being in danger? Or is it something else?
