Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my imagination and Julia,

A sad and fun morning

"So you've been to the meeting in Gringotts yet dear?"

George was half asleep and half awake when he heard his mother speak in a hushed voice.

He kept his eyes closed so no one would know that he was awake, he didn't want to interrupt the conversation, and especially not if it was something he really wasn't supposed to hear.

"Yes," he heard Julia say and a sigh followed "la... last Monday,"

"How did it go?" Mrs. Weasley asked kindly in the same hushed voice as before.

He heard someone give a sob, and he guessed that it was Julia when she whispered "that crazy woman left me everything," and another sob followed.

"Julia dear, your aunt wanted you to have a good life, without having to worry about money"

"I don't need it," Julia sighed, she was never happy about having to talk about money with people.

Her family had been one of the most wealthy wizarding families in England, almost as rich as the Malfoy's, and when her family had been killed, they had left it all for Julia to have.

"Please Molly, you and Arthur could take it," she almost begged "please, you need it more than I,"

"Julia, we could never accept that," Mrs. Weasley sighed, "you know we couldn't"

"But please, what in the world am I going to use it for?" Julia sounded like she was about to cry, "They've all left me so much."

"Don't worry dear, you just put them in the bank and save them" Mrs. Weasley said.

"Please Molly, it would mean the world to me if you would take them"

He heard a door closing and assumed that Julia and his mother had walked out into the kitchen.

He turned over and opened his eyes and started to stare at the ceiling.

For every time he heard Julia's voice, every time he saw her face, every time she smiled or laughed he would fall more in love with her.

And for every time she cried, or every time she looked sad, he wished that he could take her in his arms and tell her that everything was going to be alright and that he would be there to protect her from all the evil in the world.

And for every time he thought the same thoughts as he did now, he wished that she would feel the same as he did.

But he knew that that wasn't possible, she would properly never love him more than a friend.

He sighed and closed his eyes, still thinking about her.

"George," the kind voice, that he loved to hear, said and he felt someone shake his shoulders softly.

He growled and turned over in his bed.

"George" Julia laughed softly at him "wake up, breakfast's ready"

He turned over again, rubbing his eyes and opening them to see her stand over him, smiling.

There were no signs left in her face that showed that she had been crying earlier.

"'morning," she smiled "did you have a good night's sleep?"

He smiled back at her "yeah," he said, and sat up in his bed.

"Good" she smiled again, "I'll just go and wake the others up, see you in a bit," she said and walked over to wake up Ron.

He stretched his arms, yawned and looked over at Fred who was still sleeping.

"Fred wake up" George called, Fred grunted and pulled his sheets over his head.

George took a pillow and threw it at Fred who quickly got up and threw a pillow back at George, grinning.

"Ooh, right in the face" Fred said with a triumphant look when the pillow hit George in the head.

"It's pay back time" George jumped up and took another pillow.

"Bring it on my dear twin" Fred said and grabbed a pillow.

"Aargh" Julia's voice sounded, Fred and George turned to look what had happened and saw Julia lying on the floor next to Ron's bed.

She was laughing very hard and Ron's face had a bright red colour.

"I'm so sorry Julia, I… I really thought you were someone who was after me" he said embarrassed and helped her up, she kept laughing.

"That's alright Ron" she smiled "it's always nice to start the day with being thrown onto the floor".

The other Weasley's started to laugh and Ron turned, if possible, even redder and smiled embarrassed.

A little later they all sat around the table in the kitchen and ate breakfast.

Ron and Charlie were talking about Quidditch, Mr. Weasley were telling Julia something about a rubber duck while Ginny were laughing silently at how enthusiastic her father sounded.

And Mrs. Weasley were talking to Fred and George, "I really think you should remove that sign in your window" she told them "it gives the wrong impression and it could get you killed"

"Mum, you said the same thing to us last year" George said.

"and we're still not going to take it down" Fred continued.

"But… but…" their mother said.

"Don't worry mum, they'll be fine" Ginny cut in "like you-know-who would want to kill two joke shop owners"

"Ginny!"

"What?" she said looking at her mother confused.

"Don't talk about you-know-who while we're eating" her mother said looking sternly at her.

"You started it," she mumbled under her breath and started to eat again.

George looked over at Julia who was looking interested at Mr. Weasley while he told her about how some rubber ducks could make small peep sounds.

Julia turned her head, trying to hide a grin and caught George's eyes.

How was it possible for her to catch him almost every time he was looking at her?

He needed to learn how to hide it better if he was going to look at her.

She smiled at him when his father made an imitation of how exactly a rubber duck would sound.

Ron, Charlie and Fred were all laughing hard, Ginny was trying to hold it in but couldn't hold it for long and burst out laughing.

Even Mrs. Weasley was looking amused, though she tried to hide it, but failed at it.

George and Julia were the only ones who weren't laughing, they just sat and looked into each others eyes.

The butterflies inside his stomach started to fly around as he was looking into her warm eyes.

"Now," Mrs. Weasley said after some time "you three better eat up if you're going to open your shops on time"

Julia moved her eyes away from George's really quickly and instead looked at her watch.

George saw a scared glimpse in her eyes and she gasped.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go" she said and hugged them all quickly "I hope I'll see you all again soon" she said and disappeared with a small Pop.
