Chapter 10- Rebuilding the WWW
Harry and Ron made the announcement that night at dinner. This time when they made announcements, George joined in congratulating them. Actually, he went beyond that. He said that he'd offer Ron a job, if only he could continue with his work. That's when the bad news came. He said that he would have to sell the shop because he couldn't do it anymore, and then left the room. Anyone who was present was shocked; that was George's dream. But all knew why he was doing this…
"We've got to help him." Harry stated plainly. Percy looked up with him looking tired, "How do you expect to do that?" Harry admitted that he had no clue. The Weasleys thought for a moment, secretly looking at Hermione, but it was Ron who said, "I have a plan."
The next day, bright and early, the Weasley siblings (minus George), Harry and Hermione all apparated to Weasley's Wizard Weezes in Diagon Alley. What they met was horrible. The Weasley twins had gotten most of their stuff out, but not before the Deatheaters had ruined the building. Percy said that it would take all of them to fix it, so they all got out their wands and said the incantation, "repario" and the affect was as immeadiate as Hogwarts; bricks flew back into place, the doors swung open and once they got inside, some products could be seen on the shelves.
It took them the best of All Afternoon but they finally did it. Bill apparated back to the Burrow to get George, and returned with him, a blindfold over his eyes. Percy guided him to the exact middle of the store, and removed the blindfold, walking over to his place against the wall with his family.
George slowly turned on the spot, looking at everything; he stopped when he was turned from his family and stared at the 'Weasley's Wizarding Weezes' sign. There was a picture of Fred hanging there.
"We put this place back together, and I found some stuff in the back room that I could help you with. I'm not very good at what you do, but I managed to make a better price margin for more profit!" Percy said with forced cheerfulness.
Silence
"Charlie here got in some pretty good spell work for the doors so that they swing open when you walk up to them. Plus, we made these eletrador things that makes it easier to get to the stock." Percy went on before Charlie said; "I got the idea from Hermione."
Silence.
"Bill got all of the permits for the building, and did some pretty sweet spell work." Someone put in.
Silence.
"Ginny did all the decorating, and the signs, she's got a real talent for that." Harry put in. Ginny contributed, "Harry came up with the idea of making the ceiling higher, and he put up all the signs."
"Hermione did all the re-organizing so things are easier to find."
Silence.
"George," Percy started, "I know why you want to give up the shop, but you just can't…he wouldn't want you to."
Silence, until, "What did you do?" George asked. The others looked around at each other, and then looked up to see George facing them again. Even though he had tears streaming down his face, his voice and face were emotionless. He pointed at Ron, "Did you have anything to do with this?"
All eyes were suddenly on him, and Ron didn't know what to say for a minute. "Yeah, it was my idea. Don't blame them, it was me." He managed suddenly.
Anyone there at that moment would have gone running behind the counter at the look George gave Ron. But then, something worse happened than it would have if George had punched his brother. He closed his eyes, and tears streamed out of them. No one knew what to do; George still looked angry. But then fate was taken out of their hands when George said, "Thank you." And hugged Ron, crying on his shoulder.
Feeling the moment, Harry yelled, "Group hug!" and everyone consented.
George whispered in Ron's ear, "You want a job?"
A/N: ooot, ooot! I know that I already put in a George chapter, but this had to be done. Sorry it's short!
I just wanted to clarify a few things:
George is still not completely over his twin dying. That will take quite a couple more chapters, and a girl. giggles But that won't be for a while now.
2) REVIEW!!!! I've set a goal to have 20!
3) I have made the decision on whether or not they will go back to Hogwarts! At the moment, I'm putting it into chapter 12! That should be up within a week to a week in a half!
4) Please keep the suggestions coming!
