Firecracker | George Weasley

Chapter 49

Scarlett arrived back to the flat at 7:30pm exhausted but content when her eyes met with Georges. She walked out of the fireplace and into George's welcoming arms

"How was my little birds day?" He asked stroking her hair

"It was exhausting but good. Bianca and I picked up straight where we left off, as if no time had passed. I met and was friendly with the three other guys on my training course, do you remember a guy called Elijah? He was in Ravenclaw." Scarlett said as she lifted her head from his chest and recounted her day

"I don't think so, what did he look like?"

"Around about Harry and Rons height, brown eyes, luscious head of hair and slightly on the lanky side."

"Who are you describing?" Fred asked walking into the living room in just a towel covering his groin.

"Guy in my training course, name's Elijah. He was in our year, a Ravenclaw."

"Rings a bell but I can't put my finger on it." Fred replied trying to piece together whether he could place him

"I think I've got it. Do you know who he used to hang out with?" George said as the memory came to the forefront of his mind

"He said he tended to stick with his house."

"Oh Godric Gryffindor! I remember him..." Fred said as he locked eyes with his twin letting George finish his sentence

"...that was a hilarious day."

"What did you two do?" Scarlett asked unamused

"He was the first person we tested our portable swamp on and..." George started, this time letting Fred finish his sentence "...in 4th year we made him and his friends books explode in their faces while they were in the library."

"So not a good idea to tell him I'm in a relationship with you."

"You didn't tell people you were in a relationship with me?" George asked, the insecurity causing his voice to break a little, his heart dropping.

"It never really came up. There was a moment when I think Lance was flirting but I wasn't sure if he was joking or not but before I could say I was in a relationship our lunch break was over. I'm not trying to hide you I promise." Scarlett reassured giving George a kiss.

"In fairness to Scar it's not like she can just walk into a room with new people and say 'Hi guys I'm Scarlett, my boyfriends name is George Weasley he owns a really successful shop with his more handsome twin brother that you should all visit.' Without coming across as really fucking weird."

"Yeah especially when you add the free advertising about the shop." Scarlett added walking over to Fred and playfully punching his arm

"You're right, I'm just being silly. Go get settled, dinner will be ready in 5."

"Love you Georgie." Scarlett said blowing a kiss to him as she walked to their room to get changed into something more comfortable

"Yeah, love you Georgie." Fred mimicked as he followed her but going into his room to get changed.

George was left alone in the kitchen/living area, he didn't like the fact a guy had flirted with her but trusted Scarlett completely, he just couldn't help but feel a little overprotective given everything she had been through. Before he could drift further into his thoughts the timer went off and he started to plate up everyone's dinner.

Scarlett got dressed into a pair of black mid length cycling shorts and one of George's tops. She wiped off her makeup before stepping out to get dinner. As she walked into the kitchen she pulled her hair out of the ponytail and shook her hair out
