Chapter Fifty - Hunting
George was surprised by Kagome's adaptation. Besides going to London from time to time to charge her phone and call home, his wife didn't minded at all living without technology. He shouldn't be surprised, though; she endured five hundred years in the past with a bike and a mini skirt. On the other hand, George was missing a lot of things. He never imagined coming back would be so tiresome.
One day, he had enough. He has been back for over two weeks and they have yet to look for a new home. George got things done in the previous day and left Verity in charge for the rest of the week.
Kagome had an appointment with the doctor in the morning. Once again, that weird thing being introduced in her and by a man this time! She made him promise to behave by threatening to not bring him in the next appointment, so he just focused on the screen showing their little vampire and the sweet sound of his or her heart beats. The overwhelming feeling inside his chest made George want to hug and kiss the love of his life like there was no tomorrow. Just a few more months and this treasure would be in their arms. One more reason to hurry and find a new place.
Newspaper and phones in hand, they went looking for a place to call home.
Too small, too expensive, too far, too spooky, there goes the list of problems in the places they visited. Thankfully, his time in Japan taught George how to walk in muggle cities. While it was pretty different from Tokyo, thanks to his wife he knew how to properly use the subway and buses. Since he needed a bank account when renting his condo months back, he also learned how to use credit and debit cards.
They were almost giving up for the day when an advertisement was put in a building right across the famous magic inn.
"Want to give it a try?" her tired voice indicated that it would be their last visit for the day.
"Just one more won't kill us."
The doorkeeper said it was an apartment just put to rent that same day. The owners were an elderly couple that was moving to another country and wanted to sell fast. It was a three bedroom, two bathrooms flat, with separate kitchen with a very attractive price because for some unknown reason (probably the magic flow from across the street) no one seemed interested in living there. The young Weasleys asked to see the place and the gentleman dialed to the owner.
"... Mr. and Mrs. Weasley wish to see the flat...right… yes, sir, thank you. You may go up. Second floor. The door is open."
The place was perfect. The master bedroom benefiting from an en-suite bathroom with a huge tube and a private balcony with the backyard view. Big windows, modern kitchen, freshly painted walls. And the right location. He have yet to tell his wife, but George have already gotten information about mortgages in Gringotts with Bill and Fleur. As now the sole owner of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, he have enough income to afford buying a house.
George embraced his small wife from behind, her head barely reaching his chin. "What you think, love?"
"It's perfect. I can already see our children running here."
He kissed her cheek. "Children?"
"Do you want to stop with only one? I bet we can beat your mother." She said in a playful tone.
He didn't had the chance to answer because a man with white-gray hair and hazel eyes entered. By his side, a woman with fair skin, silver-gray hair and freakish purple eyes. Both seemed to be in their late sixties. But what really called his attention was the glare the couple was giving to them, or to Kagome, to be precise.
"Inu… Inuyasha."
I hope you liked it!
Still a few more weeks to go in college, so no scheduled update yet.
