I wasn't too happy with this chapter but I hope you like it :)

"These are so cute," squealed Angelina, poking a finger through the cage of miniature puffskeins.

"Yeah, well, you're going to help me breed them today," said George, setting a box on the table.

Angelina made a face. "And why would I spend an afternoon helping you breed Pygmy Puffs?"

George caught her by the waist, spun her round and kissed her breathless. "Because you want to help your adoring boyfriend who will take you on a nice date later," he whispered in her ear.

Angelina tried to keep her face stern. "I hate it when you do that, I end up doing whatever you want."

"I am pretty irresistible, aren't I?"

"Don't push it. Now, what do I have to do?"

"It's quite simple really," said George. They were standing in the back room of the joke shop. He indicated the box on the table. "That box contains some potions to…er…encourage and accelerate breeding, guaranteeing the birth of healthy offspring. That's what Fred said, anyway. Just help me feed them the potions."

Angelina looked at one of the bottles uncertainly. "Is Fred sure about this? The label says it's for rabbits. Why is there a potion to accelerate rabbit breeding anyway?"

"Rabbits, puffskeins, how different can they be?" shrugged George, feeding the puffskeins the potion.

"Should you at least reduce the dosage? These are miniature puffskeins after all," said Angelina, still looking worried.

"Nah, they should just breed faster," answered George. "There we go. We should have some baby Pygmy Puffs by the morning. Meet me in my garden tomorrow. Dad'll be at work and Mum, Fleur, Ginny and Ron are going to the village. Fred said he has to be at the shop. We can inspect the baby puffskeins in peace."

The next day, Angelina cooed over a box of three little baby Pygmy Puffs. "They're even cuter than the adults!" she exclaimed, watching them roll around in the box.

"Three in one day is pretty good," said George, looking pleased. "The last time we tried breeding them, we only got one baby in two weeks. Looks like the potion worked."

Suddenly, the Pygmy Puffs stopped moving around. "Er…George? Is it just my imagination, or are they getting bigger?" muttered Angelina as she and George backed slowly away from the box. The Pygmy Puffs were growing larger and larger.

"Angie? You may have been right about the checking the dosage of the potion. I bet Fred mixed some Growth Solution in it too," admitted George as the Pygmy Puffs grew to half the height of the Burrow.

The big pink puffskeins advanced on the two humans who drew their wands. "Stupefy!" shouted Angelina but her spell just bounced off the giant puffskein. The pink, furry monster let out a high pitched "EEEE!" and lunged at Angelina as the other two lunged at George. They both dived out of the way just in time.

"Together Angie!" George yelled, running back towards one of the puffskeins. Angelina nodded. Together, they yelled, "Stupefy!" The monster fell over with a thud.

"Get the smaller one!" shouted George, casting an Impediment Jinx on the bigger of the remaining two Pygmy Puffs. He and Angelina ran towards the smaller one, wands at the ready. Angelina glanced at George and her eyes widened in horror.

"George, on your left!" she screamed. George turned just a second too late. The Impediment Jinx hadn't worked properly and the other puffskein had crept up on his left. It took a great swipe at him. He went flying through the air, landing hard on his back. His whole body hurt and he couldn't move.

"George!" came a terrified scream. George managed to lift his head, blinking away the stars. Angelina was backed up against the wall of the Burrow. Two giant puffskeins were advancing towards her, positively evil smiles on their cute faces. There was no way she could take on both of them alone.

New strength suddenly coursed through George. He leapt to his feet ignoring the pain that shot through him. "Not my girlfriend, you numpties!" he yelled, running at the Pygmy Puffs. "Don't worry, Angelina. I won't let you die at the hands of giant pink balls of fluff!"

The Pygmy Puffs looked at him, confused. "Reducto!" George shouted, pointing his wand at the chimney above Angelina. It collapsed immediately and brick after brick fell on one of the puffskeins. It looked dazed and then fell over, unconscious. George stood protectively in front of Angelina. "Ready?" he asked. She nodded.

"Stupefy!" they shouted together and finally, the last Pygmy Puff fell over, Stunned. George turned to Angelina immediate, grabbing her by the shoulders. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?" he demanded anxiously.

"I'm fine! You're the one who went flying through the air! You must be covered in bruises," Angelina replied.

"I'm alright – ah," George gasped as the energy he'd felt when he saw Angelina helpless left him and he collapsed.

Angelina knelt beside him, her hand on his cheek. "You idiot," she scolded softly. "You landed hard enough to break a few bones. Why didn't you just lie still? Why did you have to come rushing to me when you could barely sit up?"

He placed his own hand over hers. "I love you Angelina. I wasn't about to let you get killed by puffskeins while I could do something to help you. I won't let anything harm you, be it a giant pink furball of fury or You-Know-Who himself."

Angelina smiled. "I love you too, George Weasley. Now let's get you inside and all healed up. We have to get rid of these monsters too," she added, nodding at the unconscious Pygmy Puffs.

George grimaced as she helped him up. "Remind me to kill Fred next time I see him. Who puts Growth Elixir into a breeding potion?"

Angelina looked thoughtful. "What do you think about setting one of those giant puffskeins loose on Fred and taking a few pictures while runs around the yard?" she suggested, a very Weasley-like twinkle in her eye.

George grinned. "I knew you were worth saving."

Did you like it? Please review! I received some news in college today that pretty much spoiled my whole weekend so a review would really cheer me up right now...At least five reviews again? :)
