Only Time Will Tell

The Battle of Hogwarts changed everyone, that was for sure. Some, following the deaths of their families and friends, took the time to mourn and then found their way slowly back to real life. Others, like George Weasley, struggled to find normalcy again. He found himself turning to booze, drugs, and sex as coping mechanisms.

The Leaky Cauldron had never been busier than the months following May of 1998. Viviana Falcon was summoned home from her world travels after learning she inherited the pub from her grandfather. She hadn't been in London since she transferred to Ilvermony in her fourth year, and for good reason. But now duty called, so here she was.

George had been at the Leaky Cauldron almost nightly since Fred's funeral. Each night getting drunker than the last and attempting to take someone home with him. One night, Viviana decides she's had more than enough of his drunken antics and kicks him out. Little does she know that George Weasley isn't one to easily follow directions.
