We Found Love
134. You Make Loving Fun
She couldn't help the laughter that escaped. It only lasted a minute or two, but it was an imagine that she would treasure and reflect upon with a giggle or two. A sheepish George Weasley took in the lab with a smoking caldron and singed hair. It was worth pointing out that he had bright pink skin and his normal red hair was replaced with a glittering rainbow.
It was a sight that caught Verity Blake off guard.
And it was something she loved every second of.
As she laughed, the expression on George's face threw more sheepish and he looked a little defeated by the end.
"What are you working on?" she asked, struggling to compose herself.
George muttered something, eyeing the caldron with a closed-off expression.
Watching her boss, Verity tried to recall each product in development. There were a few, but none that changed skin tones and none that changed hair. As she looked over the mess, she noted the presence of fir needles and newt's eyes.
"Please don't tell me you were stupid enough to combine fir needles and eye of newt," she said.
The expression turned sheepish as George tried to offer a shrug.
Verity sighed, shaking her head. "This is why you don't combine those," she said, indicating to burns and scorch marks.
George nodded, staring down at his feet.
"You go change," she began, "and I'll clean this up."
"Thank you," George muttered as he moved to leave.
"Don't thank me until you what it's going to cost you," she told him in a sing-song voice.
He stopped, turning to look at her. "I am the boss, you know," he reminded her.
"You are," Verity agreed, pulling out her wand, "and I'm the stellar employee who went above and beyond."
He thought for a moment before deciding to agree. It seemed like the less painful option. "What would like?" he asked.
"Dinner at Lady Tramp," she answered with a smile.
"Whatever you say, dear," George responded dutifully. Lady Tramp was a new restaurant that opened a few doors over, owned and operated by Mercurio Wight, George's rival and ex-roommate from Gryffindor.
