CH 20

"Oi, Fred your scaring away the customers," a voice came from the entrance.

"George your late," Fred scorned finally detaching himself from me. As soon as George saw me he averted his eyes.

"Um, I'll take my stuff upstairs," I said quietly.

"Why is she taking her stuff upstairs?" George asked slightly confused.

"Oh, she's staying here for awhile,"

"Yeah, I got that but what about the small matter of, oh I don't know, Ron her husband your brother," he hissed.

"You know George you're not very quick on the uptake are you?" George's face finally moved from confusion to realization.

"She…"

"Yeah," I smiled, "You can't tell anyone,"

"What why?"

"Because that would look wonderful wouldn't it, 'Hey mum, I've finally found a girl. Unfortunately Ron has to get a divorce for me to have her',"

"You really love her don't you?" George asked.

"Yes,"

"Fine I'll keep my mouth shut,"

"Oh Georgie I do love you," I sang grabbing his hands and dancing around the shop.

"Fred do you ever think you'll grow up," my twin laughed.

"Nope and I am appalled that you have become so mature, I mean seriously George what happened to the prankster we used to know," I wiped an imaginary tear from my eye.

"He realised in order to get the girl he wanted he had to show a little maturity," George chuckled. There was giggling coming from behind us.

"Do you think maybe you can make Fred understand that?" Hermione asked sceptically.

"Hey, I already got you," I skipped over a placed a big kiss on her cheek.

"Damn I knew there was a reason I stayed away," she joked.

"You should have taken a leaf out of Katie's book," George joked.

"Was there a reason you came down here or was it just to insult me?" I mocked scowled.

"Yes, I have to go to work,"

"Ok bye," I gave her a quick peck, George turned away awkwardly.

"See you later I should be back by seven at the latest," she smiled.

"Hey George you don't mind closing the shop?" I asked eyeing the spot Hermione had just stood in.

"Why?"

"Because of all the times I've let you go early to get back to Katie," I grinned.

"Fine," George replied stubbornly before going over to Verity.
