The Weasley Twin's Best Friend (George Weasley x OC)

Chapter 36

Monday, 12 August 1996.

The day was finally here. It was opening day for Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. The event was so hyped up by everyone. There are even ads being published in the Daily Prophet. I was so excited. I got up before the sun had come up and made breakfast for me and the twins. I made eggs, bacon, and toast with jam. Fred and George came and sat at the bar when they smelled the food cooking on the stove. I plated the food and put a plate in front of each of them, and then I made my plate and began eating. As soon as I was done, I hopped in the shower, washed my hair and body, got out, got dressed in a professional-looking dress, dried my hair with my wand, and went to do the dishes.

I went downstairs with Fred and George and to our surprise, there was a long line of people, main kids with their parents, waiting for the store to open. It was 8:55 am, and the store didn't open for another five minutes. I went behind the counter and started to get things ready. I made sure there the change was in the register, boxes were under the counter, and I had pens and gift wrap.

At 8:59 am, Fred, George, and I walked to the front door, flipped the sign on the door from closed to open, and unlocked the door. We backed away, I went back behind the counter, and the customers flooded in. They flocked to the different sections of the shop and began browsing. My first customer was a little boy, about nine years old, and his mom. They purchased about a pound of our joke sweets.

"That'll be four sickles, please," I said boxing up the candy. The little boy handed me the money and I wrote them a receipt. They left the store and a line began to form at the counter. I helped every customer with a smile on my face. I heard people coming down the stairs that were to my left. I looked over and saw the entire Weasley family, Harry, Sirius, Hermione, Cedric, and Angelina walking down the stairs. Molly came behind the counter and gave me a huge hug. 

"Hello, dear. How are things going?"

"Things are going great, Mom. It's a lot right now, but I can get used to this." I was working with a customer while I was talking to Molly. After I was done talking to her, I dealt with more customers. After about six more hours it was time for the store to close. 

"Attention customers, the shop will be closing in five minutes, please make your way to the counter and make your final purchases," Fred announced to the customers in the shop. A few of them left but the majority of them came to the counter and I helped them with their purchases. Once everyone was out of the store, I closed down the register and cleaned my area before I noticed that George was standing right in front of me.

"Hello, love," he greeted me, then kissed me deeply.

"Hello, I feel like I haven't seen you all day. I missed you."

"I missed you too. Fred is ordering takeout. We can restock until it gets here." As soon as George said that Fred came running down the stairs.

"How much did we make today?" He asked me. I opened the safe below the counter and pulled out the bag of money. I began counting it, and when the takeout delivery person came and delivered our food, Fred paid him and I went back to counting. I didn't eat until I was done.

"Two-thousand galleons," I told the twins who dropped their forks in their take-out container. 

"Two-thousand galleons!" They yelled at the same time. I put the money back in the safe.

"Yeah, I know. It's amazing, but it's not always going to be this great."

"Bloody hell! I knew we'd do good, but not this good." Fred said. We went back to eating our food but talking at the same time. After we were done eating we turned out all of the lights, made sure the door was locked and went back up to our flat. We locked the door and turned out all of the lights in the flat and went to bed.
