George's grip tightened on his wand, Kouga's eyebrow cocked as his head tilted.
"Man I like you, you're not scared to take on a demon." Kouga smiled, his serious demeanor melting away quickly.
"Come on and sit down, like I said if I wanted to kill you you'd already be dead. You hungry?" he asked.
George opened his mouth; a large growl from his stomach had him shifting uncomfortably.
"Come on, there's a place not too far from here, I want to get to know the man that Kagome likes."
George reluctantly lowered his wand and followed Kouga slowly, "won't they wonder where we went?"
Kouga shook his head, his long ponytail swinging slightly. "Nah, Misa knows."
They walked in silence, George sizing up the demon beside him.
"So, how are you?" Kouga asked as they found a corner booth in the small café.
"Fine." George clipped, he wasn't sure what to expect with the man in front of him, he seemed a little bi-polar from what he witnessed in the shop.
Kouga shrugged and nodded, "alright, listen, I've known Kagome for a while… kept tabs on her while she was away at school; especially when her and her mom had that blow out in the summer before fifth year. I just want to make sure she's being taken care of."
"Is this the, 'you hurt her, I kill you' speech? I've heard it a few times already."
"You can be snarky… I like that. Yeah, you could say that it is. Kagome's important to me, Kagome's happiness is even more so. I think you both can make each other happy for the rest of your lives… I was actually rooting for you over your brother, Buddha rest his soul." Kouga said.
George watched as Kouga lounged back, his arm draping over the back of the booth beside him.
"Fred loved her." George said.
"I didn't say they didn't love each other, they were together long enough. I'm saying I think she was with the wrong twin… especially after he cheated on her." Kouga said.
George stiffened, "he didn't cheat on her."
"That's not how it looked. But, the way you handled the situation showed she was definitely with the wrong one, not saying your brother handled it wrong, it was a delicate situation."
George rubbed the back of his neck as sweat broke out along his brow the way it always did when the situation was brought to light. Somehow the situation in question remained with the three of them inside Hogwarts' walls, the place secrets were never safe.
Kouga shoved a bite of food in his mouth, chewing slowly and watching him.
"Are you a werewolf?" George asked, grasping at anything to change the discussion.
Kouga broke the glass in his hand, "are you kidding me? do you know how insulting that is?"
George shrugged eating a bite of egg, "just curious, couldn't have you asking all of the questions."
Kouga growled and pointed his fork at George's plate, "shut up and eat."
