Angel eyes - George Weasley X Reader

part 43

we had been preparing the shop for our opening day and was nearly ready, i was stacking the last of the skiving snack boxes onto the shop when fred called me from the back room. i knocked on the door and entered, seeing him sat at the desk with his head in one of his hands whilst the other was scribbling all sorts of numbers on paperwork with glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. " what can i do for you? " i asked, as he looked up at me and smiled. " would you mind doing the paperwork on the deliveries? you know what we've had lately and i'm stressed with trying to work out these bloody financial thingy's " he chuckled, leaning back in the chair and resting his hands behind his head. " yeah of course! where's the paperwork? ". " here, you can do it in here if you want " he said, handing me the stack of papers. " it's alright, i'll give you peace and quiet " i said as i walked to the door. " thanks doll ". " that's new " i laughed. " yeah well, don't it do you?" he shrugged. " not at all ".

" skiving snack boxes yes, ton-tongue toffees yes, fever fudge yes, canary creams... yes, basic blaze box... yes, decoy detonators yes, extendable ears yes, fainting fancies yes, headless hats yes, instant darkness powder yes, nosebleed nougat yes, love potions... of course " i murmured to myself as i went through all of the papers, ticking the boxes of the products we had. " pygmy puffs... what? since when did we have those?" i questioned as i walked back to fred. " just wondering, when were we supposed to get the pygmy puff delivery? ". " at some point today doll, they'll go in front of the windows as new stock " fred replied, moving his paperwork to the side and standing up. " alright thanks, i'll hang around for a bit and wait for them to come " i smiled as he followed me out to the desk. " lee should be here soon " he said, jumping up to sit on the desk. i smiled and nodded as i leaned on my elbow against it and looked up at him. " i don't know where george is, i haven't seen him " i chuckled as he looked around the shop, peering round the corners he could see whilst still on the desk. " little fucker " i heard him mumbled as i stifled a laugh.

" where the fuck have you been? " fred asked loudly as george finally came down into the shop. " i've- uhm- i've been uhm-". " we've been working our asses off down here ready for the fucking opening day and you've been doing merlin knows what!" fred snapped as he stepped in front of me and closer to george. " fred, it's okay. we've managed haven't we? it wasn't a lot anyway " i said, trying to soothe the situation. " no it's not okay doll, you're not even in ownership of the shop and you've done more for this place than both of us combined " he said, turning to me. " and that's okay. you know i'm happy to help you in any way i can, even if that means working a lot. i just want the best for you both with this place. you've worked so hard all your lives and have made a living out of this stuff and it's been wonderful to even be a part of that. you've been dreaming of this place for so long, the least i can do is help you achieve it! " i smiled as he took a deep breath and hugged me. i rubbed his back comfortingly before he pulled away and turned to george. " i'm sorry mate ". " don't worry about it, you're stressed. i know that ".

" well well, look who's here " i heard someone behind me say. i smiled before i turned around with a stern look on my face. " lee jordan ". " y/n black. always a pleasure " he spat as he falsely smiled as the twins looked between us wondering what had happened. " come here then you fucking bitch! " i shouted laughing as he screamed and ran to me, throwing himself into my arms. " what just happened?". " no idea " the twins spoke to each other and lee and i pulled away. " if it isn't my two little favourite twins " lee said as he jogged to them and squeezed their cheeks. " bring it in then " fred smiled as he pulled lee into a big hug, shortly followed by george.

" thank you, have a good day! " i smiled as the delivery of the puffs just got in. the twins were helping lee settle in upstairs so i was left downstairs by myself to get the last of the deliveries. i set up the cages next to the window stock and started making their homes. after i had laid down the straw for them to lay on and given them food and water, i began moving them into the glass boxes for the display. i was three out of seven boxes done when lee came down. " need any help?". " please " i replied as he laughed and began playing with the puffs as he moved them. " lee! get your ass up here now!" george shouted as he ran downstairs laughing and threw lee over his shoulder before taking him back upstairs. " thanks for your help george! really fucking appreciate it!" i shouted as i heard the door to the flat slam shut. i rolled my eyes and huffed in annoyance as i continued my job. " i'm sorry about george, he's just excited " fred said as he came down. " here, let me do that ". " no i've got it " i replied bluntly as he began helping me.

" come on, we're done for today " fred took my hand and led me upstairs, walking into the flat. " heyy love " george smiled and came to hug me before fred stood in front of me. " you've hardly spoken to her all day and you haven't even bothered to help her with the deliveries, nor did you help you unpack your boxes and sort out your room " fred said as i walked towards our bedroom. " i'm going to shower " i called down the hall before slamming the door and going to shower, climbing into bed and falling asleep, ready for opening day tomorrow.
