Sore Feet
''Good day ladies, what can I do for you on this beautiful day?'' George asked cheerfully to the two pregnant woman in front of him. His sister was getting her second child and Hermione was finally getting her first. Smiling he thought back at Ron's frustration on Hermione being more busy with her career than their relationship.
Returning back to the present he looked as the two ladies made their way through Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, looking at the various products and trinkets the joke shop offered. Not getting a response George went back to help the other customers walking around in the shop. After an hour it was time for George's break so he went to find Ron, who would look after the shop for the rest of the day so he could take a break and try out some new products he was developing. Things had considerably slowed down when Fred had died at the Battle of Hogwarts.
He found Ron with the two girls in the back, all three seemed quite agitated and he stepped in before bad things could happen. ''What's going on here?'' George asked carefully, not wanting to make one of the girls fall out to him with their pregnant hormones. ''I was just asking if Ron would be in time for dinner and Ginny wanted to know if he had seen Harry,'' Hermione said to her brother in law exasperated as if it was one of the hardest things in the world to deal with. ''And all Ron has been doing is rambling nonsense about helping out here and being too busy to notice what Harry is doing,'' Ginny butted in harrumphing at her brother.
This made George sigh, he had gone through the same thing when Alicia was expecting little Fred and two years later Roxanne. Grumpy women with their swollen feet and crazy appetites. He knew the perfect thing to help these two wind down a bit. ''Well that's a bit of a problem isn't it,'' George chipped. ''I had just spoken with one of of the new shop owners down Diagon Alley. The one opening a spa resort for witches!'' He said. George had heard of spa's for the first time from Hermione and the girls had gone there on n outing when Angelina was pregnant with little Fred.
She had gone again again with Roxanne several times to relax and leave some stress out. It had done great wonder on how she reacted to the littlest things that would have her upset if she wouldn't have gone. ''So how do you feel about going today for a test run?'' George said as he walked to his office to floo the spa owner. ''I will call the dear man and let him know you are coming over.'' Not waiting for a reply he threw in some floo powder and stuck his head in the flames.
The man had been delighted to have a war hero and the wife of the Boy-Who-Lived come to his spa. It would be great marketing for his new business. So it was decided that the two girls would spend the rest of the afternoon and some of the evening at the spa getting massages, pedicures, manicures and magical core treatment to settle their magic from the stress their pregnancies gave them.
Of course when the two got back at Potter Manor Harry had asked Ron and Hermione to live in with them as the Manor was that big days could pass without the two couples seeing even a hair from each other. Hermione had to complain on wasting half of the day doing nothing, but still she had to thank George for the idea of sending her to the spa as her feet hurt much less and she felt a lot more content than before. As was Ginny; instead of berating her husband on ditching her for the day she welcomed him home and had some quality family time with him and baby James.
