Chapter Forty Two - Magic III

George had to split his time between working and house hunting. With no internet connection (something he missed more than he would ever have imagined) and his shop open from Monday to Saturday, it left little time for him and Kagome to look for a place. They ended doing things in old fashion way: muggle newspaper. Kagome refused to skip work saying she was an employee like the others and didn't need special treatment.

Verity turned to be a good manager and assisted Kagome to get to know the items. In less than half a week, she was familiarized with almost everything. She had a particular way with children and parents and he had yet to see one leaving the store empty handed when she was in charge. George missed having his wife all to himself like in their last weeks in Japan, but he had products to make and he was just too lucky for Kagome taking work too seriously.

One day, after the store was closed, he was preparing some fireworks and Kagome was with him observing his work.

"What would happen if I use a wand?"

"I think nothing. You can't do magic right?"

"I don't know if I can't do magic, never tried to. Not your kind of magic, I mean. I know how to make incantations and potions."

"How's that the Ministry never got you to be properly educated?"

"My powers awakened only when I was fifteen. Even then, most of it was sealed away by Magatsuhi. When they came to me, I was too depressed to bother with the fact that there was a whole magic community around." George understood. He felt very similar after Fred's death, not wanting to deal with anything. So much that he ended in Japan and lived as a muggle until he found will to work again. "Also, I wasn't married to a wizard and working in a magical shop." She winked.

"Wanna give it a try? It's not the best thing to use someone else's wand, but for now it will do."

"Sure! Tell me some simple spell."

"Fine. Try Lumos." He explained her how to do it and she said the word. From the tip of his wand, a bright light filled the room. So she did have magic, to what extent, he would have to find out.

"I did it! It's so cool!" She was bouncing out of joy. She was just like him when he discovered the wonders of muggle technology, marveled and curious. He was entranced watching her when a knock in his window called his attention. There was an owl holding a letter addressed to 'Kagome Weasley, the cellar under Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes'. He handed it to her.

"I'm warned and requested to present myself to the Ministry for unregistered use of magic."

"Not again…"
