The Years Between || G.W

2004- George's POV

***A/N*** hey! Welcome to part 2 of "The Years Between"!  This second part focuses on the time between Part 8 of "That Damn Weasley Charm" and the "2016" prologue found at the end of "That Damn Weasley Charm!" I strongly suggest going back to read "Part 8" of "That Damn Weasley Charm" before reading this chapter just so you all have a refresher about what happened because I will not be repeating that year in this book. I will however be covering the one-year time jump between "Part 8" and the Violet x George wedding as well as these two lovable idiots raising their kids!

Now that all that is said and done, this chapter takes place at the same time that "Part 8, Chapter 10- Birthdays or Lack There Of In Some Cases" takes place in "That Damn Weasley Charm" this will be the only chapter that takes place during that year! Okay, enjoy! xx

"George?"

Ron's dumb fucking head pops into my room and he smiles, "Is Violet here?"

"She's at the dining table mate. Did you really not see her when you walked past?" I pull on my jumper and fix it a bit, "What'd you want?"

"Are you planning on opening the shop again?" He asks me.

I furrow my eyebrows together, "Why do you care if I'm opening the shop again or not?"

"Sort of need a job."

"Aren't you an Auror?"

"Technically."

"Then technically you don't need a job."

He rolls his eyes and comes into my room, sitting on the bed, "By all means Ronald, make yourself at home. It's not like I have the fittest girl in England downstairs waiting for me to take her out for dinner or anything."

"Don't tell Mione but..."

"I hate conversations that start with 'don't tell Mione but' what the fuck did you do?"

"I just... I really hate working for the Ministry."

"Don't let Percy hear that."

Ron laughs, "Well I hate it, and I want another job but I don't want to quit till I have another job so I mean if you're opening the shop again..."

"I dunno mate. With Violet back with me, I don't think that we'd need another body in the shop once we open."

"So you're thinking about opening?"

"Yeah. I've been thinking about it for years. But now I know I can do it."

"Please mate."

I sigh, "Ron..."

"Look, I get that I'm not the brother you shared the joke shop dream with. And I get that I'm not even your favourite brother now that he's gone. But I need this G. I need you."

I look at my little brother long and hard and sigh, "Yeah sure mate. If I open the shop you can have a job."

"Really?"

"Yeah, really. But never say that you need me ever again. Hated that," I move for the door and Ron steps out of my way, "Mione going to like you coming to work for me?"

"Probably not," he says as he follows me down the stairs.

"Hey," I stop in the middle of the stairs and turn to look at Ron. I lower my voice and talk in a whisper, "Don't tell Vi I'm looking at getting the shop set up again eh? It's a surprise."
