Through His Eyes(G.W Story)

17. SUMMER BEGINS

Here is some progression in my life. Well... where should I start? For starters, my life has been going great so far. No more nightmares or trouble sleeping, I start socializing more, I've been controlling my emotions and I have not gotten a panic attack for a long time, I'm no longer single. Everyone was happy that I was having Arya as my girlfriend, especially mum and Ginny. My therapy sections are going well and I just finished making a new product line called "sickly sucks" and "coughing cocoa" for my muggle branch that I will launch during summer. Did I mention that I'm no longer dying my hair brown and let it be red? I stop colouring them a few days back for an unknown reason. Maybe I just miss my red hair who knows? Mum was happy since she always nags, saying that our family hair colours are the rearrest and so on. So, I've given it a try. I thought I still look like him whenever I look into the mirror. The only difference is the reflection is missing an ear.

Fast forward a few days and now it's summer. It's almost been, which means kids will be flouting through the alley of Diagon Alley. Every day the shop filled with kids and teenagers getting something mischievous to prank their fellow mate and family. From puking pastels to getting a pet Pygmy Puff. It was busy as ever.

"George, Sickly sucks and coughing cocoa just ran out. Where did you keep the rest of the stalk?" Ginny shouted from the other side. "It's in the storeroom. Ask Roza to take them" I replied and when back to serve some customer. Ginny and Hermione on the other hand just had finished their final year in Hogwarts. While the trio had decided to go to Australia together, Ginny insisted that she wants to spend time here and try out for the Holy Harpies with Ange but till then mum told her to help me around the shop which she agreed.

After a while mum came in with lunch for us. Ginny and I ate in silence when Ange barge into the house with a big smile on her face. "Good ginny is here. I have exciting news for you two" I exclaims and turn to my sister excitingly. "Oliver talks to the Holly Head Harpies coach and guess what. We have a place for a tryout!" Ange sequels and jumps up and down excitingly while Ginny was copying her with the same emotion. "Oh my! I can't believe it. When is it?" I ask her. "It's next week Tuesday since we will be trying out with other tryouts." She answered. Both girls were talking happily and cheering when my girlfriend came in with Kat.

"Wow. What is this positive energy going around here?" She brightened while hugging Ginny and Ange and came my way to peck my lips. "Well for the record babe, your best friends here got themself a tryout for the. And only. Holly Head Harpies!" Ginny shouts, held Arya's hand as they both jump up and down. Arya's eyes extended with her mouth wide open and started to attack them with hugs. "Ohh, This cause for a celebration. Wait here. I'll bring some deserts. Ange can you help me a bit. "She clapped and the girls went to her house leaving Kat here. Ginny eyed Kat while the kid was messing with one of my fake wands. "Ginny is anything wrong?" I asked her as she still hasn't taken her eyes off her. "How old is she George?" my sister asked. "Well, she will be turning nine in two weeks. Why?" I replied with a confused tone. "She reminds me of teddy," she said with a cracked voice.

In case you haven't known Teddy was Lupin and Tonks son, who also died in the battle of Hogwarts leaving Harry as his legal guardian. The kid is a year old now staying with Mrs Tonks. Poor women lost her husband, daughter and son-in-law just like Arya's mum. "The similarities between the two. Both pure blood Slytherins fell in love with a muggle-born Hufflepuff and had kids. Only to die for the same reason, leaving them alone with a child. At least one of them had a sibling to survive." Ginny said with a sad tone. I hug ginny by the side as she let out a small cry. "I miss him, George. He would have been so happy with the news we just have." Ginny let out a sob. I was trying to hold my tears as she was still crying. "I miss him to Gins. He would have been so proud of you" I consoled her while smoothening her ginger hair.

The door sound broke our little sibling moment as Arya and Ange came in with a bunch of desserts and pastries in a basket with a big smile. "Alrighty then. Let's party! Kat, come here sweety" my girl shouts with excitement. "You have no idea what this girl has in her secret party stash. Like mate. You can feed the whole wizarding world with that." Ange jokes as we laugh. Ginny was back to her usual self again and crack a conversation with the girls when suddenly Ron's owl, Pigwidgeon, came in the living room through the window with a bunch of letters from the trio.

"George look. Ron wrote that they have already restore Hermione's parent's memory and harry took lots of pictures of them. Here" She hands me the pictures that they took. I look at every one of the pictures with a smile plastered on my face. All three of them were finally happy and relaxing without any stress or fear of danger. "There is a letter address to you Ginny." I hand her Harry's letter. I wrote back to Ron and gave him some of the Sickly sucks and tied them around the tiny owl. I set the owl free and we both went down to continue our busy day.

After closing, Ginny apparated her self with mum after she gave some dinner. I did my usual night routine and went and took a shower. After a long relaxing shower, I sat down on my study table and begin to write on the small notebook about my fillings today.

Today I was happy for my best friend and my sister who got a chance to show off their skills in quidditch. I also felt sad that Fred is not here to share this with us. He would have been teasing Ron for what he's doing right now or he would have been hyping ginny up. There are times where I completely forgot about my grieve and live my normal times but these are some of the times where I truly miss him. I also feel some type of feeling towards Arya. Like I'm falling for her. It's been more than two months and we just made it official like half a month ago. Is it too fast to fall in love?

After writing my 'Feeling journal' I kept everything aside and went to bed. I let my sleep took over me as I felt so tired from today's sale.
