Closed; George Weasley

[lavender_x]

After nearly three weeks of closing herself in George's flat, Lavender's life had been set into overdrive. She let herself get completely swept up in getting her life back on track and her anxiety had almost completely slipped away which, of course, was easy when she was constantly surrounded by the people she trusted

After weeks of non-stop, packed-beyond-capacity pre-holiday madness, the shop was finally getting a well-deserved break. George had almost forgotten what it was like to be able to go from one floor to the other without having to plow through hoards of squealing children and frazzled parents, or to go about restocking shelves once a day instead of every hour. They had made an absolute killing, as always, but he was thoroughly enjoying having some time to get some enjoyment out of being in the shop again. In fact, Lavender was just walking in on him in full competition mode, engaged in a very tense, high-stakes round of who-blinks-first with the Staring Contest edition of their Slap Happy Hands

Lavender liked visiting the shop best when it was slow, right after the holidays and early Wednesday mornings when she could really enjoy the joke shop for what it was. She had always seen it as the Twin's own personal playground that they just so happened to let other people partake in as well. When nobody was around they were just as amused as the children they attracted there.

On days like this she was never quite sure what she was going to walk into. She couldn't help but laugh as she watched George get slapped right across his face. There wasn't anything quite like a little bit of physical comedy.

"Busy afternoon, I see," she mused, wrapping her free hand around them as she was swept up in his arms.

"The busiest. Working painstakingly hard over here," he nodded firmly, his features hardening into an all-business expression.

He managed to keep it up for all of a second before cracking a grin again. "So what brings you to our humble establishment today?"

"I thought that since you're so busy you wouldn't be able to run out to grab your own lunch," she explained, gesturing around to the empty store. She held up the bag that she was holding. shaking it lightly.

"So I thought I'd be a good friend and bring you my spaghetti and meatballs, freshly made this afternoon."
