Order Only: Private message to Fred Weasley

[alt_george]

Don't expect me until late. Or I might kip here overnight.

That's moving fast.

[alt_george]

It's nothing like that, believe me. They've all had a helluva week, and what she needs tonight is an ear, and a shoulder to cry on, that's all.

[alt_fred]

Relax, I was kidding.

Well luckily, you don't shrink when you get wet.

[alt_george]

Fortunately.

She talked a bit about breaking things off. Both with me and the business.

[alt_fred]

She did? Why?

[alt_george]

I'm a nice, normal bloke who deserves a 'nice, normal' girl, not someone who's a mess.

I had to point out to her that she's talking to a Weasley here. I like messes, I'm the sort of person who sets off fireworks for fun. I belong to a family of blood traitors, I have one brother who's a prat who would be happy to turn me in, another brother who can turn into a snake, I'm experimenting with a mad muggle who likes blowing up stuff, and we had our own issues when Dad died.

I think I eventually convinced her.

[alt_fred]

Good.

[alt_george]

She's back, with the tea. Later.
