"You never told me you were THIS popular," said Kagome as they looked through the window in the kitchen of the Burrow. "There must be over at least a few dozen people here."
"The more the merrier!" chirped an already a little tipsy Shippou, coming from somewhere behind them. "Why are you peeking at the window? Come outside and celebrate!" He raised a bottle that previously laid on the counter and took a sip. "Hm, this is good."
Kagome stared at him, suspiciously. "Shippou," she called, sniffing the air and raising an eyebrow, "how much did you drink?"
The fox youkai made a scene, his right hand on his chest, shaking his head, looking hurt. "Who do you think I am? I'm just celebrating! Nah, don't give me that look! A dozen fire whiskey shots, give or take a few. Don't worry, human drinks can't make me dru-drin-drun-k," he said, a goofy grin on his lips.
"Yeah, right," she said, giving him a scrutinizing stare.
George, who did his best to not laugh at Shippou's behaviour, just snorted when the youkai took a second sip of the drink. It wasn't the typical fire whiskey but one of the famous special brands from Romania that Charlie liked to bring when he came home. He could bet it wouldn't take long for the alcohol to kick in, even if Shippou wasn't human.
Kagome's sweaty hand kept a tight grip on his own when they stepped outside. Many faces he did recognize, even some he wasn't expecting to see there. He couldn't help the grin on his face when he introduced Kagome to McGonagall.
"Mr Weasley," she said, a proud smile on her lips, "Guess you are no longer a babbling, bumbling baboon, after all, but a family man now. Mrs Weasley, may I expect your presence at Hogwarts soon? I've heard about the recent events."
Kagome blushed, sending a nasty look at George, who just pretended to not have seen. "It's not as if I have many options, you know? I don't want to be a threat to my own child."
"You are absolutely correct, Mrs Weasley. When is the expected due date?"
Kagome put her index on her chin. "I've just entered my fifth month so, hmm, late August at most. She will be a summer child," she said, patting fondly her bump.
"That's great news, child. Have you decided on a name, yet?"
George froze. That was a topic he didn't like to bring up.
