Who: Fred and Verity
What: Dinner, talking, shagging in a safe house?
Where: Order safe house in Swindon
When: Tonight before the WWW broadcast
Rating/Warning: TBA, but look at the 'what' section!

So, maybe it wasn't the best idea to call your girlfriend over for a shag to a safe house that you were about to do very, very illegal things from. Still, it had been a headache inducing sort of day, and Fred liked the way that Verity dealt with headaches. It didn't help at all that his hand still hurt like hell - he could move it, now, and do some basic charms work again, but it was still going to take another week or so for it to be back to normal and it irked him that he couldn't do the things he wanted to do.

George's idea about Verity holding his wand for him was pretty apt, really.

So he went out into Swindon and picked up dinner, after spending the afternoon setting up Lee's equipment, and he wrote her to close the shop early. There wasn't much to do once things were set up, really, but wait - and with her over he could think of far better ways to spend that down time.

Once again reassuring Mags that she'd be fine, Verity pulled her coat on and checked the instructions Fred had owled her. She checked her bag and made sure she had the pain potion she'd jokingly promised him and squeezed her eyes shut, apparating to where Fred's note had said. It took her a moment to get her bearings, then she followed the rest of the directions, coming upon the house after not long.

She strode up the walk and knocked on the door, wondering where Fred had gotten this house and who's it really was.

At the knock, Fred jumped up from where he'd been sitting in Lee's chair, pretending it was one of those jet fighter things he'd seen in that movie that once when someone had dragged him to a muggle theater.

Jumped up, ran a hand through his hair, and then went to answer. He grinned as he saw her, raising his still injured hand a little helplessly and wriggling his fingers at her before he let her in. "Madge or Megan or whatever her name is okay at the shop?"

Slipping into the house, she gave Fred a quick kiss, a part of her grinning madly that she was able to do that. "Nah," she breezed, with a dismissive wave of her hand, hiding her smile. "I'm sure she's managed to set off all the fireworks and burn it down by now."

She shrugged off her coat and dropped it and her bag on the couch. "We can make fireworks of our own, though." She winked broadly and was unable to keep herself from laughing at the corniness of her own words as she crossed back to Fred, reaching out and gently taking his injured hand in hers and pressing a soft kiss to it.

	Fred for a moment looked narrow-eyed at the idea of someone burning down his shop. It had taken a hell of a lot of work even to get that one open! But it faded after a second and he just grinned at her, wrapping his uninjured arm around her back and kissing her forehead. "I'm still a useless gimp, yeah. You were checking?"

Pressing up against him, Verity pulled an appropriately sad face and kissed his hand again. "I had plans for that hand," she responded, hoping Fred knew how terrified she'd been when she'd found out he'd been hurt. She joked a lot; humour was her default, she used it as a defence mechanism and as a generic response, and she wasn't too good with real emotions and expressing them. She wasn't sure how to make Fred understand just how much he meant to her.

	"Yeah, me too," Fred said with a snort, but he wriggled his fingers for her again, brushed a thumb a little too rough over her lower lip. "See, though, they'll get sorted eventually. Hestia just says it's a deep sort of poison. But I got it treated in time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"What sort of plans?" Waggling her eyebrows, Verity slinked her hand around his waist and hugged him close, pressing a kiss against his thumb as it rasped across her lip.

At his explanation, she hugged him again, quickly. "How about next time you try not getting bitten by a giant snake, though?" She flashed him a smile, but her eyes were serious. "I prefer my men unpoisoned."

"Right, I knew there was something wrong with that plan when I had it. Next time, when I'm making the list, I'll just mark that one out. Skip right over the part where I like being attacked by snakes wearing lady suits..." Fred shuddered a little, but squeezed her and kissed the edge of her mouth before he let her go to direct her to the couch instead. He'd set up the dinner he'd bought - Thai noodles and such from the take away just inside the city.

	Following Fred to the couch, Verity shrugged. "That's why you keep me around. Clearly, I'm the brains of the operation, baby." She grinned and made a show of grabbing his arse before settling onto the couch. "And let me tell you," she continued, her eyes twinkling. "It is a burden to be both the brains and the looks."

"If you're the brains and the looks, what am I?" Fred wriggled his ass in her face before plopping down beside her, picking up a bottle of water that was sitting there and then handing her a second one. He wanted a beer, but not before Potterwatch.

"Lee and the others will probably be here around nine," he said, gesturing to the corner of the room with the radio equipment. "Doing another broadcast tonight."

Taking the bottle of water, Verity shrugged and patted his knee. "The financial support? Ooh! You're my backup singer!" She stopped herself and looked at him. There were a lot of things she was good at, but singing wasn't one of them, unless by good you meant enthusiastic but horribly off-key. "You know, figuratively."

She took a swig of water and made a show of checking her watch. "Nine, eh?" She asked, sniffing appreciatively in the general direction of the food. "Whatever shall we do to kill the time?"

"Oh Merlin, you're not going to sing are you? I'm already poisoned!" But Fred was grinning, too, and he arched an eyebrow as she checked her watch and then hummed under his breath for a moment but seriously, food could wait, right? That way there would be some left for George and Lee and Kingsley and they could talk about what excellent hosts they were...

"Don't know," He said, taking a drink and then sitting his bottle down and turning toward her. "What would a singer and a one armed man do to kill the time?"
