Bedfellows (some time after Chapter 27)
The five glasses on the table were nearly empty. Ron and Harry had joined George and Lee Jordan at the Leaky Cauldron for an evening round and to catch up on current events.
Ron picked up his glass, polished off the last of his beer and put the glass back down with an air of finality. "Well gents, I'm off."
Lee looked surprised. "It's barely ten mate, calling it already?"
George smirked. "Ah, I see the little woman at home is cracking the whip."
Ron smiled and shook his head. "It's not like that."
George wouldn't let up. "Sure it isn't." He elbowed Lee. "He's got a tattoo on his arse that says 'Property of Hermione Granger'."
It got a big laugh from Lee and even a snigger from Harry. But Ron just calmly smiled at George. "George is just jealous. I have a lovely, warm girlfriend at home to crawl into bed with. And all he's got is…" Ron looked to George, "well, what do you call your left hand?"
This got an even bigger laugh from Lee and Harry, while George glared at his younger brother.
"Wanker."
Ron's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "You call your left hand 'wanker'? Well that's not very subtle."
George had no response to Ron's jab, so he just shook his head and smiled. If nothing, George could appreciate when he'd been out maneuvered- and by Ron no less.
Ron left a few knuts on the table, gave Harry a pat on the back and a handshake to Lee. He left the Leaky Cauldron for the flat above the shop- and his lovely, warm girlfriend waiting in their bed for him.
A/N: a little something to tide you all over until the next chapter of AUF. I've had this idea for quite a while now and it was finally time to set it free. Hope you all find it as funny as I do. Yes, I crack myself up. Sigh.
As with all my drabbles, I am solely responsible for the composition, grammar and spelling. So if there's anything wrong with it that's because Microsoft Word didn't underline it.
On the other hand, J.K. Rowling is responsible for Ron Weasley, George Weasley, Lee Jordan, Hermione Granger, the Leaky Cauldron and that Harry fellow. I made George left handed. Seemed appropo.
