"You know what's kinda fucking me up?" Ginny said one day as her brother George and herself were just relaxing on the sofa in the Burro.
"What's that Ginny?" George asked with a grin, "Speaking personally, I would assume a lot of things."
Ginny suddenly stared daggers. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Woaw, calm down Ginny, it was just a joke," George tried to rationalise her.
She took a deep breath and took an annoyed breath. "You know, not everything has to be a joke."
"You're not actually offended, are you though, Ginny," George asked with a hint of concern. "You know that was only just a joke.
Ginny crossed her arms and pretended to be seriously vexed. Ginny was famous for her serious grudges within the family, especially with George. But oh how she loved messing with her brother, he was going to be so annoyed when he realised what had happened.
There was a pause in the conversation as a particularly loud bang came from the kitchen. Clearly, their mother was having fun with the dinner for the family dinner later that evening.
"But do tell, dear sister, what is indeed 'fucking you up' as you so politely put."
Ginny huffed: "Well, I don't know if I'm going to tell you, now that I'm mortally offended."
George bought into her game: "Oh deary me. Well, I guess I'll just have to be extra nice to you then."
"Oh you would do that for me, dear brother?"
"Of course."
"Then I guess I must tell you all my woes. If you must know, my Quidditch team, the Harpies, needs a sponsor to be able to compete in the Quidditch Leagues this year as our last one went bankrupt."
George chuckled. "Oh, yes Quidditch. Who would(ve thought that of all us Weasleys you would've been the one to go professional."
George was straying from the subject. But Ginny didn't mind, she was sure she would be able to steer it back to where she wanted it to go. "I really thought Charlie had a career going. Maybe I'll be able to convince him one day…"
"Maybe…" George agreed. Then suddenly he perked up: "Remember that time you we first let you fly a broom?"
"You mean that rickety old broom you had pranked and which exploded in mid air."
George sighed with a touch of nostalgia. "Oh, I will always treasure the memories we made."
"I almost died," Ginny deadpanned.
"That was the best part!"
"I am now even more mortally offended, and I demand retribution!" she exclaimed.
George laughed. "Fine, what do you want?"
Ginny gave a sly grin, now this was it. "Well, I need a sponsor, and you have a successful company."
"What?" he almost shrieked.
"Come on George, you wouldn't want me to be mortally offended with you your whole life."
George groaned then conceded: "Fine, I will consider discussing it."
"Perfect!" squealed Ginny, "Your mortal offense has been erased! The meeting is at 9AM tomorrow!"
"Hang on to your husbands, girls!" George laughed, "The Holyhead Harpies and Ginny are coming to town."
And they bickered a bit more until later at the dinner table, a realisation hit George. "Hey! You manipulated me into doing that!"
"What?" asked Ginny innocently.
"You tricked me! How Slytherin!"
"Nonsense, dear brother. I'm a Gryffindor through and through."
"Ugh. I'm not doing it actually."
"Oh but think of all the wonderful siblingy bonding we'll be able to do!" Ginny continued sweetly.
"I hate you."
"I love you too, dear brother!"
