RP: Nice of you to show up
Date: 16 September 1998
Characters: Ginny Weasley, George Weasley
Status: Public
Summary: Ginny shows up late for work and George gives her a hard time
Completion: Complete
George opened the shop to a see a huge crowd of....trash waiting for him. He smiled, and swept the walk in front, cast a cleaning charm at the windows and wandered around with a parchment and quill taking notes on what he was low on or what needed to be restocked. Ginny was supposed be in but she appeared to be running behind. This, actually, was no problem because there did not appear to be any customers.
Several hours later the air horn sounded and George looked up from where he'd been assembling the pieces of a muggle puzzle. It was fun, and he was thinking perhaps he could make one where the pictures kept changing ever time you commpleted it.
"Well, hello..."

She'd not woken up til almost eleven. She never slept that late. And she'd woken up rested and warm with Neville's eyes on her.
She couldn't seem to stop blushing.
And she couldn't believe she had slept that bloody late. She was usually up at daybreak and at the shoppe even before George woke up.
What the hell was he going to say to her?
By the time she got to the shoppe it was almost noon and she was flustered with herself and... more than a bit pleased with how things had gone the night before. She slipped inside, cursing that bloody air horn and maybe, just maybe, George had run an errand and...
"Hey," she said, not meeting his gaze. "Sorry, god, so sorry. I overslept. I'll make it up. Promise." She dropped her overnight bag behind the counter and went to grab one of the WWW robes.

George looked at the flushed cheeks, the overnight bag and smirked. "Oh hell, no. No making up. I just want the story, but no details." He followed her into the back room and grinned hugely. "You are my baby sister, after all. Or did Neville make a woman of you?"
She was going to kill him, but she had promised to make it up to him.

"George!" she shrieked, her face flaming as she turned to face him. She caught his eyes for a moment before looking down at her robes as she fastened them. "I... I didn't... I wasn't... you can ask mum and dad, I wasn't at Neville's last night." That wasn't true, but if he asked mum and dad, they'd tell him she wasn't. She'd lied to them about where she'd be spending the night.
Still, it would be more believable if she wasn't blushing so hard.

George raised his eyebrows so high that they nearly left his face. "Have I taught you nothing? You are either the worst liar in the history of the universe or you're suffering from a high fever." He wrapped an arm around here and tsked. "Have you been into the fever fudge?"

Ginny allowed him to wrap an arm around her and she groaned as she pressed her face against his chest. God, her face was hot. "You're a prat. And I'm a damn good liar, you and Fred both taught me well. I've just never had to lie about this before."

George hugged her and messed up her hair. "Well, hopefully you'll get better at it." He waited until she looked up at him before kissing her cheek.
"Are you being safe? Is he good to you? You do realize I'll kill him if he hurts you, yeah?"

"One can hope," she murmured, and tentatively looked up at him, blushing but pleased when he kissed her cheek.
"We are now," she said, looking away. They'd not make that mistake again. "And it's Nev, you know he's good to me. He doesn't know how not to be good, does he?" She smiled. "I don't think he'll hurt me."

"Calm down!" she said, upset that she'd frightened him. "No! Of course not! I'm not pregnant! I was just... a bit worried for a while, that's all. It was stupid. I won't make the same mistake again," she said against his cloak, hugging him back.

"Very stupid," he said, not letting her go. "Not that I won't make the best uncle ever, but not yet, yeah?" After anotehr long moment he let her gow.
"So. Should I give Neville a few pointers? You know, after the big family dinner? Few tips to please the ladies?" He was smirking again, wondering if he could actually make her hair catch on fire just from teasing her.

She stopped and looked at him. "I told you, I won't do it again. It's new to me. I'm still learning. And you will make the best uncle ever."
"No!" she said, horrified. "You're not to say anything to Nev, you understand me? Don't make me hurt you, George Weasley! You're not to say a word to anyone. Not Nev, not Ron, not Bill, and not our parents, you understandn me?" She glared at h im. "I don't want him made uncomfortable and I certainly don't want Ron or Bill or Dad trying to kill him."

George was grinning now, but he was also slowly backing away. "Okay, so I should take him aside and give him the pointers when the rest of the redheads aren't around. Got it. Perhaps I could get Percy to draw some diagrams? Have Lee tell him what he's done to make ladies moan in the past?"
George grinned broader. "Or is it you that needs the pointers? I mean, some things I could even demonstrate..."

She paused. "I... I don't know. I hope I'm all right. I don't really know, do I? I certainly don't want you demonstrating anything, I think that would make me a bit ill. But..." She trailed off and bit her lip. "I've no idea what I'm doing."

George hopped up on the counter and looked at her. There was still no one in sight. "Gin. Darling. One, of course at some point I am going to "accost" Neville and congratulate/warn the boy. You're my only baby sister."
"Two, I won't broadcast your business, but I'm in love with Lee and I've no intention of lying to him. I can decline to answer. Regardless, I don't expect he'll have reason to ask me. I will, however, lie to Mum, Dad, Bill, Charlie, the post owl, the Minister, and anyone else you'd like to name."
He cocked his head to one side. "Were you just asking for a demonstration? Because I think there's a banana in the back room."

Ginny softened a bit. "I know you worry about me. But Nev would never hurt me. I promise. I just don't want him further embarassed than he already has been, you know? Percy gave him a talking too and Charlie took him out and got him drunk and Bill scared the hell out of him. Just be easy with him, all right. He loves me."
"Declining to answer would make me happy, thank you." She looked at him. "You love him? Does he love you too?"
"NO. Please, stop," she said, putting her face in her hands. "I'm embarrassed enough." She peeked through her fingers at him. "You don't think I'm a bad person, do you?"

"Fine, I'll leave the poor boy alone. But he'd better love you or he'll deal with me."
He crossed his ankles and nodded. "Yeah." George realized in that moment that he hadn't ever said that to anyone. Made him feel warm.
"Of course I don't think that, and the banana offer stands, should you ever change your mind."
