Through His Eyes(G.W Story)

11.THE INVITATION

I woke up the next day feeling quite happy and well-rested. For the first time in forever felt calm and normal. I cooked breakfast and coffee for myself and went to work downstairs. My workers start cleaning up the shop as usual. I went to arrange some stalks of products on the shelves. I was about to do it with magic but then I remembered what Arya told me yesterday.

"Doing it in muggle way is much for fun. The joy of swinging around the room doing our chores while the music blasting through the radio. It's a different feeling." He smiled at the memory, but my wand back in my back pocket, and started doing it by hand. After a few minutes, I got frustrated and use my wand instead. 'Maybe next time George.'

I was doing my work, as usual, serving customers, and I heard someone calling my name. "Hello son" my mum greeted me with her sweet voice. "Hello, mum. What a surprise" I hugged my mum and notice that her shopping bags are filled with groceries and other cooking materials.

"Well since you're not replying to any of our letters or our muggle phone calls for few days, I came by to see you," mum said with a worried voice. "Are you alright George? Is there something wrong?" I shake my head in defense of what she said. "No mum. Everything is fine. In fact, I've been getting better" I ensure her and she relaxed a bit. I invited her into my apartment and went and do some of her favorite tea.

"George, come by for dinner tonight. I'm making something special tonight since Charlie and Ginny are coming home." mum said. She was telling me that everyone missed me and how dad is excited about showing them something about muggle technology that he found in his office tonight when we heard someone was knocking on my door. I excuse myself from mum and approached the knocking door.

I open my door to my surprise; it was Arya and Kat. Arya was holding a basket in one hand and Kat's hand in another. "Hi, George," Arya said with her pretty smile. I felt someone tackled my legs. I look down to see little Kat hugging my legs. "Hello Georgie" Kat smile at me and I picked her up and spin her around. She let a squeal and giggle. I was actually happy to see Kat. that kid kind of grown on me. "How's my favorite kid doing?" I asked her with a playful voice

I invited both of them inside and closed the door. Arya let out a gasp from her lips when she noticed my mother was sitting on the couch looking at us shocked. Shit! I completely forgot that mum is here. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you had company. I will leave now." Arya quickly said with a shy voice but was stopped by mum "nonsense sweetheart. Come here." my mum hugged Arya then Kat. "George. Introduce me to her." My mum tells me as her eyes studies both of the girls. "Well, Arya this my sweet old mother. Molly Weasley. Mum. This is Arya. She lives across from me in her shop and that kiddo there is her niece, Kat. short for Katarina."

My mother's eyes widen when I mention her shop. "You mean the bakery that Ron and Harry bought those delicious Pastries?" My mum exclaims as she approaches Arya with a bunch of compliments. "Arya sweety. You are very talented with your baking skills. Merlin, I really love those lemon tarts you did." Arya's cheeks have a hind of red as my mother keeps complements her. "Thank you, Mrs. Weasley. If you like I can teach you how to do the lemon tarts." she offers with a humble tone.

They were talking for a while when my mum suddenly said something that made me spill my tea out. "Arya. Why not you come by our house tonight for dinner. George can pick you up." she said with her sweet voice. I was about to protest when she gave a stern look at me which cause me to shut up. "As long George is fine with it," Arya answered. I just gave a small nod without trusting my words. 'What the hell George. You could have said no.' My mum gave a big motherly smile to her.

"Well, that is settled. I aspect three of you to come by tonight." My mother said excitingly. I was felt as if there's this life crisis when I think about Arya meeting my family when we only went on one date. We're supposed to take things slow not this.

My mother left after a few conversations which just left me, Arya, and little Kat. "I'm sorry if my mother." I apologies. "Are you kidding me? Your mum loves my lemon tarts. Something I thought no one likes. If anything. Your mum gave me a confidence boost." she pads my shoulder and giggles. "Besides. I like her." She smiled. I was relieved with that statement and look back at Kat and the basket. "oh. I actually came by to give you some of my new recipe for you to try." Arya said while keeping the basket on the kitchen counter.

"I'll pick you up tonight then." I awkwardly said while running my hands through my dyed brown hair. "All righty. Come on Kat! Grandma will come by anytime now!" Kat pouted and huffs. "Why. I don't want to. Georgie. Tell Aunt Ar I don't wanna go" Kat whines giving us puppy eyes. "Sorry kiddo. Your aunt's rules." I said which cause her to dramatically roll her eyes. I let out a small laugh at her behavior and look back at her aunt, "she really likes you. I've never seen her close to anyone this fast".

"Well, what can I say. All the kids love me" I cockily said which cause a punch in the arm from her. "See you tonight George." She smiled and walk out of the door along with Kat. I closed the door once she was out and when to continue my work. But then it hit me. OH, MERLIN BEARD! Arya is meeting my family tonight.
