Pairing: Harry/George
Harry walked into Gringotts and headed straight for the counter. There wasn't any line, so when he arrived, he immediately said, "I need to talk to someone about my accounts."
"Lord Potter, I'll bring you to your account manager. Follow me."
When he was face-to-face with Ragnok, he took a deep breath. "I never really paid attention to what I had in the bank because of the war. With it done, though, I decided I should be a little more aware of what my holdings were. Someone seems to be making regular deposits without my knowledge, and I would like to know who it is."
Ragnok didn't look impressed. "Most people wouldn't care because they're receiving money. They'd just be happy and would only start caring if unauthorized withdraws are made."
"I care."
Ragnok got the file and gave it a look through. "It seems the deposits were made by two individuals: Fred and George Weasley. They're made monthly and of course, now with Fred Weasley's death, only George Weasley is putting the money into your account."
Harry furrowed his eyebrows. "Why though?"
Ragnok gave a nasty smirk. "I know the reason of course, but you will have to ask Mr. Weasley for your answer."
Harry stood up, bowed respectively, and then left as quickly as he came. His next destination: Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
He stormed into the store. Verity was in the front, but George wasn't anywhere to be seen.
"Hi, Harry," Verity greeted cheerfully.
"Hey, Verity. I need to talk to my boyfriend. He's in the back?"
She nodded.
He waved and hurried to the stock room. George was busy doing inventory, and he jumped when, in an imperious voice, said, "Tell me why you and Fred have been putting money into my Gringotts' account."
George smiled guiltily. "Okay, it's not bad. You gave us the start up funds to open the shop, and Fred and I both agreed that we'd give you a little back each month until you were paid back in full."
Harry arched an eyebrow. "And you didn't tell me why?"
"Because we both knew you'd never accept it."
Harry couldn't deny that. "It's not like I need the money."
"We know, but we wanted to do it. You had no reason to give it to us back then. It wasn't like you and I were even dating yet."
"But we are now," Harry pointed out.
"I know, but I feel like I have to continue until you have all 1,000 galleons back in Fred's honor."
Harry rolled his eyes. "You should have told me."
"If I had, you would have found a way to give me the money back."
"True. You know you can stop, right? I won't give back what you have already given me, but you don't need to give me any more. I think there is less than 100 Galleons left before you reach the full 1,000 Galleons."
George stared at his feet. "I want to finish what Fred and I started."
"I'm not going to win, am I?"
"Nope."
Harry nodded. "Sometimes, it sucks having a boyfriend more stubborn than me."
George grinned. "It makes life interesting, though, right?"
"Interesting? That's definitely the word for it."
