Chapter 4: Lost
Angelina watched George explain his newest product to an eager looking young wizard. It was obvious that the boy was new to the magic experience just by the way his eyes lit up at the objects around him. George caught her eye as he sent the boy towards Verity with his purchases. "Hey Angie, can we go upstairs for a minute?"
"Sure George, what's up?" Angelina looked worriedly towards him as she indicated to Verity that they would return shortly. As she reached the top step, George enveloped her in a tight hug.
"I'm sorry Ang, I just had to get out of there. I just felt so… so lost all of the sudden." Tears filled his eyes as he continued, "That boy just reminded me so much of how Fred looked the first time we went into Zonko's, like he was finally home." George sighed, wiped the tears from his eyes, and kissed Angelina slowly. "Thanks for understanding." With that, he turned and headed back downstairs, leaving Angelina puzzled behind.
"But I never said anything!" she finally shouted down the stairs.
"You didn't have to!" came the reply, causing her to smile.
