Kagome dropped the last article of the clothing she was bringing to the Burrow into her trusty yellow backpack, locking the frayed cloth lid before swinging it over her shoulder. She shoved her wand into the left side of her jeans, holding fast in the waistband before she moved though her apartment, locking it behind her and making her way to the Leaky Cauldron.
By passing the patrons, she pulled her wand out and tapped the bricks to enter Diagon Alley, making her way to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes to meet up with George.
"Hey Angelina. How are you?" Kagome smiled, noticing George's on-off girlfriend stomping her way.
Angelina huffed, throwing a glare over her shoulder, "George mentioned you were going to the Burrow. Do me a favor? Tell him to stop playing games, because I'm over them."
Kagome stared quizzically after her as she walked away, "okay?"
Continuing her trek, she ducked into the shop, George rearranging one of the displays in the front.
"I just ran into Angelina, she's not pleased with you." Kagome mumbled, dropping her bag by the door and moving to sit on the stairs.
George winced, "yeah, I got that impression as well."
"Would you… like to talk about it?" Kagome questioned, jumping when George tossed one of his items into the display.
The red head turned, holding his hair with his hands, head bowed.
Kagome sat silently, her mouth being covered by her hands where they rested on the bar as she watched him, her heart aching in pain at seeing him this way.
"I'm in no mental state to be dating and no one seems to understand that. I try not to think about it but how can I ignore it? Half of my life is gone. This place was all we wanted and now he's not here anymore. I think of something to tell him and he's not there."
George crouched, balancing on the balls of his feet, his hands loosening in his hair. The anger in his chest began ebbing away, leaving him feeling hollow once more.
Kagome pulled her legs up from under the rail and made her way silently to George, placing her fingertips on his back gently before crouching down in front of him.
George looked up, Kagome's hands moving to automatically wipe the tears from his face.
"We'll get through this together." She said.
