George unwrapped Kagome's arms from him, laying her gently onto his mattress. He wasn't expecting her to fall asleep the way she had, curled up against him after waking from her own nightmares, but he wasn't surprised with how exhausted she looked.
"Sleep well." He murmured, bringing the sheet up over her and walking to the door.
'Another early day.' he thought. Making his way down to the shop, he yawned before taking up the parchment and quill he abandoned the previous night when Kagome came in.
Rolling the parchment up he made his way out of the office as Ron apparated into the middle of the store. "George, Hermione found her parents. I need to take some time off."
"Why do you need to go? Isn't she capable of reversing the memory charm?" George asked confused.
"Of course she is! I need to go though, I'm going to ask her dad if I can marry her." Ron explained.
George smiled and slapped his brother on the shoulder, drawing him in for a hug. "Well done mate, I'm happy for you."
"So about that time off…" Ron pressed.
"Don't raise your voice, Kagome's sleeping. Of course you can take time off, you're a partner now… you don't need to ask, just send an owl." George sighed.
"Kagome's… Sleeping?" Ron asked, his brow furrowing.
George shrugged, "she came by last night and I gave her the spare room. Why are you giving me that look? Why does everyone give me that look?"
"I'm not giving you a look, I think it's brilliant you two are still close." Ron mumbled.
"Don't tell mum." George stated, his eyes narrowing.
Ron shrugged and held his upper arm as George shoved him, "I mean it."
"Fine." Ron exclaimed, shoving his brother back.
George nodded before holding his hand out, "good luck, mate. I hope he doesn't say no."
Ron smirked and grabbed his hand, "thanks."
Turning back to the door, Ron paused, "listen, I'm not against you two together, I think it'd be good for you. I'd rather her be with you instead of Malfoy."
George clenched his jaw together and sighed heavily. "I feel as though that was not meant to be an insult so I'm just going to tell you to have a safe trip."
