Two: Riley
If one were to walk into apartment 7on the seventh floor in the room they would see what looked like a war zone. But it wasn't a war zone at all. It was moving day for the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Weasley, and the bodies were those of the helping hands that had just tired them selves out.
Hermione walked through the small door carrying a large box labled "books" and looked around she almost had to laugh at the many people that were on her floor. She set the box near the large window overlooking a small ally and laughed out loud, waking up Fred and George who had fallen asleep near that very spot.
"You guys are lazy. The one day I ask you guys for any kind of favor and this is what I get." She complained, putting her hands on her hips angrily. She wiped the perspiration off her forehead before turning to the box and opening it to see if her prized possessions were in good condition.
"Hermione, we've carried in box after countless boxes because someone decided to move into a muggle neighborhood so we couldn't use magic to move in all this useless crap to this really small apartment." George explained muffled by the floor his face was currently on.
Hermione laughed. She couldn't quite grasp the concept of their reasoning; she liked moving the normal way. She found it really fun to lift boxes and then try and figure out what was in which box. It was like some type of game.
"Hermione, why do you have so much stuff?" Ginny asked after a while of silence. She didn't get an answer, only a shrug. George pulled himself off the floor straightened his jacket.
"Well, now I don't know about you guys but I know I have a date tonight." He said trying to make his way to the door.
"Who would go on a date with you?" Hermione laughed, forgetting about George's supposed girlfriend.
He ignored her and continued to climb over the boxes to get out of the apartment.
"Wait! George Weasley, you promised you'd stay for dinner tonight!" Molly Weasley called from her corner of sorting out Ron's clothes.
"No I didn't, I said I might."
"Well, why don't you bring your date over for dinner? I would love to meet her….or him." Hermione grinned, loving to piss him off.
George once again ignored her and toppled over the boxes in front of the door. He groaned in frustration and held up a hand to surrender.
"Fine…we'll come over for dinner. You win, will someone just help me up!" He surrendered, waiting while Fred made his way over to help him.
George's girlfriend wasn't a stranger to insanity. She had been around the Weasley family numerous times, having only met Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and not the siblings Weasley. George had avoided the actual topic of bringing Riley any where near the family, exception of Fred, who had been the one to introduce the two.
The two, walking the steps to Hermione and Ron's apartment, couldn't stop laughing. For some reason, they had started and couldn't stop. They had forgotten the reason they were laughing anyway. As they stepped onto the landing right next to the apartment door, George grabbed the opportunity to kiss Riley on the lips.
He pushed her up against the wall next to the door and resumed to make out with her. She laughed into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck and fiddling with long locks of red hair between her fingers.
They heard some one clear their throat from next to them and each opened an eye to glance at the apartment door, refusing to break the kiss. Hermione and Mrs. Weasley both stood in the doorway, hands on their hips.
"Hello Mrs. Weasley," Riley greeted lips still attached to George's. They broke their kiss apart and walked into the apartment, giggling as they glanced at the faces of the two who had interrupted them.
"So Riley, what is it that you do?" Hermione asked from across the table as the entire family looked up from their plates to hear the answer.
"George," Fred whispered, leaning over to Riley with his answer. She elbowed him in the ribs, making him move back to his spot on her left. George, who was sitting on her right, heard him started to choke on his food.
"I work at the store," She answered, completely ignoring the two and smiling back over at Hermione. She nodded a reply, and swallowed her food before asking another question.
"How come I've never seen you there before?" Ron asked, as if reading Hermione's mind and interrupting her, mouth full of food.
"Well, I-"
"She's always snogging George in the back," Fred answered, pointing at the two with his fork. George reached over and knocked his twin into his plate of food, splattering it all on his girlfriend. She just blinked, before excusing her self from the table and walking into the kitchen.
Molly looked at her sons, finding it useless to scold them, before getting up to check on Riley. She found her with a wet paper towel cleaning her wand off before pointing it at her self and cleaning the mess that the twins had inflicted on her. Before she put her wand away, she pointed it at her hair, letting it grow longer and changing the color to a black with some burgundy underneath.
She walked back to the table and sat down like nothing happened. She smiled over at Hermione, the two becoming friends fast, before noticing Harry.
"So Harry, any girlfriend for you?" She asked, before noticing his glance at Ginny who blushed in reply. "Though so," Riley answered her own question with a smile before she and George bid farewell to the family and left.
"So, what are your plans for the rest of the night?" George asked suggestively, putting his arm around her waist as they emerged from the apartment building.
"Nothing that involves you. I'm going to bed, alone. I don't feel well any way. Goodnight George." She told him, smiling and giving him a quick kiss on the lips before leaving to her apartment.
