Opposites Attract , A George Story

44- working in romania part 1

-

Jesse arrived in Romania, she didn't start until Monday so she had the weekend to get herself settled in. She was staying with Charlie who kindly said she could stay with him for the next 4 weeks.

She walked up to the spare room and put her things down. Sitting on the bed and sighing, it was a small room, for a two bedroom house it was decent though, it was just bigger than a broom cupboard and had a single bed and a small desk and chair in the corner, the window filled the whole room and had a great view. There was a small wardrobe tucked in the corner of the room and Jesse decided to unpack her things and put them into the wardrobe.

Once she finished, Charlie had shouted that there was some lunch on the table, so she headed downstairs and grabbed some "so I know George sent you that letter about not telling me any dirty secret but-" Charlie cut Jesse off with a small chuckle "oh do you really think I'd listen to him?" He said with a smile. Jesse smiled widely and celebrated "good because I want to tease the hell out of him"

Charlie sat down next to Jesse and looked at her "so what is going on between you and my brother huh?" Jesse blushed slightly "um.. nothing we're just friends" Charlie sat back in his chair "oh reallly~?" Jesse blushed a deep red colour "well I mean.. we have been on a couple dates" Charlie gasped "I knew it!! So had he asked you out?" He questioned her, which she shook her head "me and my friend have a bet though, she thinks we're going to be together by the end of the year and I don't, so we've bet 5 gallons on it"

This made Charlie laugh slightly "well I'd get ready to give her 5 gallons~ the way George looks at you, oh merlin it's sickening" Jesse looked at Charlie, with a confused look "really?" Charlie nodded "yep~ he's smitten for you" Jesse sighed and thought about what Charlie said, so George really did like her.

It was Jesse's first day of work and she was bricking it. She had gotten up early, courtesy of Charlie. She had gotten herself a shower and tied her hair back into a slick ponytail and pulled on some plain clothes with her protective gear on top. She headed downstairs and gave Charlie a smile who was wearing a similar outfit to her "I made you some sandwiches~ George told me chocolate and strawberry jam was your favourite" she nodded in reply and took the lunch from Charlie.

They bar both eaten a small bit of breakfast before heading to the dragon sanctuary. Jesse wasn't thrown straight in with the dragons just yet, they had her shovelling poo and making the food for the dragons, giving it to the more experienced workers. She enjoyed it nether the less and she knew after time she would get to experience working with dragons.

Charlie had taken Jesse under his wing and told her about how to take care of dragons and such, Jesse making notes in her little journal that she was gifted for Christmas. Charlie said that the next day she would be allowed to work with the baby dragons and maybe in her last week be allowed to work with more advanced dragons.

A couple days past and Jesse was a natural. She was working with the juvenile dragons as Charlie saw her as 'too good' to work With the new borns. She tended to their wounds if they had gained any during play fights and fed them at their meal times.

She gave them all little names and her favourite being Rover, a small Hungarian horntail who was playful and wasn't as violent as the other Hungarian horntail's that she worked with. Rover had actually taken a liking to Jesse and followed her around, waddling behind her. Charlie thought this was adorable and took photos for Jesse with her camera.

It was been a hardworking day for the girl and she was tired. It was 6pm which meant home time. Her and Charlie headed back to Charlie's house and Jesse practically collapsed on the sofa. Charlie glanced over at Jesse "hey there's a letter from George" Jesse sat up and looked over at Charlie "really?" He nodded in response and handed her the letter and she ran upstairs, shouting a thank you down the stairs.

Jesse took off her protective gear and got into some comfy clothes before sitting on her bed criss cross apple sauce and opening the letter from George, Reading through it.

Dear Jesse,

I hope you are enjoying yourself in Romania, we're not staying at the burrow at the moment but Lupin said you can stay with us for the last couple of weeks before school starts, if you want to of course, Lupin will be here too and someone else which may make you happy. Tell Charlie I said hi

Also mom wants To know what your favourite foods are and if you don't mind sharing with Ginny

Love you, Georgie xx

Jesse blushed slightly at the 'love you' at the end. She sat down at the small desk and started to write a letter back to George. She wondered where she would be staying however Lupin promised to come collect her when got back to London. She also decided to sent a letter to her mom.

Once she finished writing them out, she slipped them into separate envelopes and wrote down their respected addresses, except George's, she would ask Charlie to write it for her as he probably knew. She headed downstairs and handed the letters to Charlie "could you send these for me? Oh and George mentioned something about staying somewhere else and I thought you would know where"

Charlie nodded at the request and took the letters, he wrote down the address on George's and handed them to his owl along with a letter of his own "oh and George says hi" she mentioned whilst sitting down on the sofa.

"oh I've got a great story to tell you~" Charlie said as he sat down "so when George and Fred were little, around 4 or 5, they had these little costumes, bear costumes. They used to run around and pretend to be bears running around the house" Jesse laughed slightly "oh my merlin" Charlie laughed with her "that's not all, they had nicknames.. Grisly bear Georgie and teddy bear Freddie" Jesse laughed and remembered those nicknames "I'm definitely going to annoy them with that" Charlie nodded "oh please do."
