I know, its been an awfully long time. I've been busy with school stuff and then I just didn't write for a while. I'm back though. School is back too after a nice winter break, but all good things must come to an end.
Susan
When Susan Bones showed up on the doorstep of the Burrow Friday night, George didn't question it at all. "Bonesy! Did Ginny invite you over for dinner?" He moved out of the doorway and let the girl in.
"No, your mum did. I thought it was weird but mums are like that, right?" She twirled a strand of hair around her finger and nodded her head upward. "Is Ginny in her room?"
George nodded, a secret smile on his face. "Yeah, yeah. You won't even have to worry about her and Harry having a grope fest or nothing cause he's out tasting wines for the wedding with dad and Ron."
Susan laughed, "Yeah, how nasty would that be." She walked up the stairs and turned around, "Speakin' of, you still shagging the Asian from your dad's department?"
George laughed uneasily. "Uh, nah. Why'd you ask Bonesy?"
Before Susan could answer Ginny came down the stairs with Hermione, both of them noticing her and looking confused. Then confusion turned into peals of laughter. "Susan!" Ginny exclaimed, running down the remaining stairs and hugging Susan. "Aw, you poor dear. If I didn't invite you I know who did. Poor Bonesy. You have no idea what you're in for."
Susan knitted her eyebrows in confusion as she looked between the two giggling girls. "What are you goin' on about? You're starting to freak me out."
"Sorry. It's just too wicked." Both of them started cracking up even harder as George stood examining Susan. "No really, it's quite hilarious."
"Well this is great and all, but my leg is starting to hurt. Could we sit somewhere?" She rubbed her leg, unaware, until Ginny tapped her shoulder. She stopped and sat down on the steps. "So when do I get to hear the inside joke?"
"She's trying to set you up." George offered. He scratched the back of his neck and looked at the wall above Susan's head.
Susan smiled at him. "I might not be opposed to that." She flicked her eyebrows up suggestively and saw George's ear turn red.
Ginny watched the interaction and nudged Hermione. "It's with Percy, Bonesy. You know, Percy, my older brother, Percy."
Susan blanched. "Percy? When I was a second year he turned me in to a prefect for Hufflepuff. I don't even remember what for but I had to do detention for weeks. Holy shit." Susan looked at them all and bit her lip. "That's the inside joke, then?"
"Susan, is that you?" They all turned toward the hall, watching as Mrs. Weasley came down the hall with a bag of groceries still in hand. "Oh, it is you!" She exclaimed, shoving the bag at George, who stumbled under the new and surprising weight. Mrs. Weasley hugged Susan, managing to lift her up in the process. "So good of you to come. Look at you love, you look a little piqued darling. Come, come, let's get you some tea. Ginny, Hermione, come help with dinner. If we all pitch in it will be done when your dad and Percy and Bill and Charlie get home. That's in maybe ten to fifteen minutes. Good thing we're having pasta." She walked Susan down the hall and she looked back at all of them with a 'Dear God help me you ass wipes' look. None of them helped.
Fifteen minutes later everyone was seated and Ginny was setting the last plate of food on the table. "Dig in, everyone!" Mrs. Weasley said as she started to pass plates. "So, Susan, what have you been up to?"
Susan smiled, "Oh, just working at St. Mungo's right now. I work in the cafeteria at the moment. Only until I'm certified to work with the patients."
"Oh. that's lovely, isn't that just lovely Percy?" Mrs. Weasley asked, nudging Percy with her elbow.
"If you figure out how to do ear implants I'll give you free Weasley's Wizard Wheezes products for life." George laughed.
"George!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed. "I'm terribly sorry, Susan dear. George just doesn't know what is appropriate and what isn't."
"Ten sickles Susan and George make an exit to go get drinks." Ron whispered to Harry.
"Not worth it, we both know how it's going to turn out." Harry responded.
"Now I have to figure it out. I've always wanted a free supply." Susan responded, winking at him.
Percy turned to Charlie and rolled his eyes. "Why the hell does Mum keep bringing these girls home?"
Charlie smiled, "No idea, Percy. No idea."
Look, this good thing has come to and end too. Sure you might not think its good, but I had fun writing it. If you think its good though: you should tell me. If you don't think its good: you should tell me! Which simply puts means review. Thank you!
