A quick update before studying for finals!
My Muggle Girlfriend 79 - A Matter of Patience
Up, down and a double punch, it was a hit. Jump plus reverse fireball and another deadly attack landed on Souta's character. George was a patient player, always working on his adversaries mistakes. Like the overconfident eleven-year-old he was, Souta made many of them.
As much as they didn't like to admit, the Higurashi siblings had much in common and when George calmly broke through all of Souta's strategies, the boy lost his composure. Biting his tongue and with a frown marring his young features, Souta bent forward, as if getting closer to the telly would give him an advantage.
His disadvantage, however, was the fact George had watched several of his live streamings while learning how to play and, while George wasn't a pro-level player, at least against this adversary, he could hold his ground.
The match ended with a cursing Souta, a gleeful Kagome and a several official and honorary Weasleys sniggering at the display of attention Kagome paid to her husband. Even Arthur, who George found out later he clicked on twelve different pages explaining the function of a rubber duck, stopped his research to send him a fond glance. George knew his siblings and soon-to-be siblings-in-law were laughing at his expense but he couldn't care less.
Surrounded by his family, old and new, George forgot about the war, about the scars covering his body, about losing his other half. He forgot that it would end soon. Forgot about Fred's funeral, about his own tears at seeing the ghost of a laugher on Fred's lips as his dead body was held by an equally crying Percy.
He saw Ms. Higurashi comforting his mother in the kitchen. He couldn't hear what they were saying but he dared to claim he knew his mother enough to know. Those were tears of joy. His family had time enough to deal with Fred's death and to understand that moment was a God's gift, literally, and that it was the last time they would be like that.
The weight of the upcoming ending didn't sadden him, though. Maybe it was Kagome's baby bump on him, or her always comforting energy that filled every inch of their house, or maybe even the closure he sought, but when he saw the understanding eyes of his wife he knew he didn't need the answer. Life moved on and all he could do was enjoy the little heaven he had at that moment.
Thank you for all reviews! I'm sorry it took so long and that it is unbeta-ed but I didn't want to end the month without an update.
After my finals, the updates won't take to long, pinky promise!
Thank you again. Please Review!
