Mrs Weasley (George Weasley)

Chapter 24: flour

"Are you ready?" The school year had come to a close and we were leaving Hogwarts to head home.
He nods and grabs my hand. We got on the train and sat in a compartment with Fred and Fred and I started playing cards.
"Do you have a Fred of Spades?"
"What?"
"A Fred of Spades."
"What the bloody hell is a Fred of Spades?"
"A king of Spades!" I laugh at how ridiculous he is.
"Go fish Fred."
George lays his head on top of mine and I snuggle into his shoulder a bit.
After we finished our game and Fred won I started getting nervous. My brain was back on George seeing into my life. Lee Jordan bursting into the compartment didn't even cause me to flinch.
"Darling are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine I'm just tired."
I could tell by the look on his face he didn't believe me but he wasn't going to push in front of people.

Once we got off the train we said goodbye to the other Weasleys including Arthur and Molly who came to pick up the others. My house wasn't far from the train station so we walked the rest of the way. I see George looking around concerned once we enter my neighborhood. I try to ignore it and I open the door to my house.
"No one is home. You'll sleep in my room we have to keep the couch open for Debbie."
"Who's Debbie?"
"The girl next door. She's 9," I tried to pretend like I wasn't offended by the shocked look on his face.
"My room is down the hall first door on your left. I'm going to clean up and then I'm going to go down to the park and say hi to everyone. You don't have to come I'll be quick."
"What is with you? You're acting like I'm a rat living under the couch."
"I see the look on your face George. We may not live in a mansion but the people around here are like family. Well other than Debbie's parents. My grandma has to work 12 hour shifts so the house isn't always clean when I'm not home. But we make do."
"I'm sorry I don't mean to judge. I mean our house isn't glorious or a mansion either. I'll be more open minded."
"Thank you."
I get on my tiptoes and kiss him.
"Come on I'll show you my room. It's a lot cleaner than out here."
I grab his hand and take him to my room. The purple walls and ugly green carpet the same as always. Everything is neatly in its place and the large bookshelf is covered in different knickknacks.
"Yeah this is definitely your room," he says with a laugh.
"What do you mean?"
"It's clean, the bookshelf, the pictures. It screams Emily."
I laugh with him and grab his hand again.
"Come on I want you to meet everyone."
I pull him outside and over to the park down the road. Once I walk through the gates I see Debbie running towards me. I get on my knees to hug her.
"Emily! You're home from boarding school!"
"Only for a couple weeks but I had to come see you."
She pulls away and runs back over to her friends. I walk up to the beaten down ice cream truck step and tap on the closed window. Once it creeks open I see Mattie my best friend growing up.
"Hey loser."
He runs around to the door and opens it climbing out and hugging me.
"Blimey, I missed you! You didn't come home last summer."
"Yeah I stayed with my Friend Ron and his family. And then I stayed with them during Christmas."
"Is this Ron?"
"No this is George Ron's brother and the love of my life."
I step back next to George and grab his arm. Before Mattie can say anything the kids run up to us and ask us to play football with them (soccer football because we're in London)
"Come on George let's go!"
"What's football?"
"So there's two teams like quidditch and you have to work with your team to kick the ball into the net. It's all with your feet hence the name."
He nods hesitantly and we each join one of the teams.
Once the game starts the ball is passed to George and he struggles to keep it between his feet. I run up and steal it passing it to one of the kids on my team and we score. Then suddenly my feet are off the ground.
"You took the ball from me!"
"Love that's the point," I say laughing.
He turns me around in his arms and I wrap my legs around his waist. He's making a pouty face and I can't help but smile.
"We both know you can't stay mad at me mister."
I start to kiss his face all over and he laughs kissing my lips before setting me down.
"Alright guys we have to head back but Debs I'll see you soon. Bye Mattie!" I yelled the last part across the park and he waved without looking at me.
Once we got home we were both starving so I went into the kitchen and George followed.
"We should make pizza!"
"We? No not we. I can't even make toast!"
"It won't be that bad I have a recipe and I will help you."
I got out the ingredients for dough and the recipe book.
We each started on our dough and I look over to see George pouring yeast into his flour.
"George thats not-"
"Shhhh I'm making a masterpiece. I am the master chef."
"You watch master chef?"
"What?"
"Never mind."
I turn back to my dough and get kneading. Once I'm done I get an idea. I scoot slightly closer to George and clap my hands.
"Oh it's on now!"
He reaches his hand into the bag of flour and tossed a handful at me.
"George Weasley!"
I then grab a handful and we start throwing it back and forth until I hear the door close.
"What is going on in here?"
"Well Nana we are making pizza."
"You're making a mess!"
"Mrs Beaudry I apologize I started it," George says.
"We'll clean it up."
"Alright, that's not going to come out very well," she points to George's dough and I laugh.
"I stopped at the diner on my way home."
She set two brown paper bags on the table and George and I quickly cleaned up the kitchen and ourselves as best as we could.
We sat down at the table and I peered into the bags.
"Your pancakes are in there," my Nana says with a smile.
I reach in and grab the container opening my blueberry pancakes.
"George I wasn't sure what you would want so there's a burger, pancakes, and a salad in there for you to choose from."
He chose pancakes and I gave him an approving nod before laughing.
We all sat and talked about school before Debbie came in needing to sleep on the couch tonight. She sat down with us and we changed the topic to something more muggle friendly. I'm so glad he didn't run at the sight of the house. I don't know what I'd do without him.
