Who: George and Padma
What: A reunion.
Where: In and around Number 93, Diagon Alley
When: Early evening, 1st August
Rating: I'm just going to put down 'high' right now to be safe.

It had been a steady day at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, not too busy, not too quiet. It was kind of nice in its own way, George supposed, but his mind was far elsewhere. Somewhere, just a few buildings down, a lovely young lady was likely sleeping off the shock of traveling across roughly seventy timezones in the span of one day. He could easily forgive her, yet he was becoming increasingly anxious to just go over there and wake her up already.

First, though, he must close the shop. He'd locked the door, turned off the sign, and dimmed the lights. He was behind the counter, sorting through piles of gold from the day's sales, tallying them against a register and an inventory list. Not a bad day, really. It was just the calm before the storm, as students would be crowding the place any day now.

Ah, August. How he loved it.

Padma had slept all day; it was the travelling, she knew, but still, it wasn't something she'd intended to do. When she woke, it was eight pm. She was surprised not to have heard from either her sister or George. George was only a few doors down ...

She freshened up, though she still just wore sweatpants and a t-shirt under her robe. She slipped on her shoes and padded down to George's shop, surprised to find it locked. She took a step back and then rapped on the window.

It wasn't like him to just shut down and not say hi to her. She was starting to get worried and hoped nothing had happened to him.

In reality, George was quite eager to just pop on over to Padma's flat and pound on the door until she let him in, but he was playing it cool. Let her come to him if she wants, but he wasn't going to prove himself to be a smitten fool.

He glanced up at the sound of the knock and sighed, thinking it was just a late shopper who couldn't read. He set the gold down and walked around the counter toward the door. It wasn't until he was squinting through the glass that he recognized who was on the other side.

Grinning, he pulled open the door and leaned against the frame. "Well, well, well. Hello, gorgeous."

"I look like shite," Padma said, playfully swatting at him. She peered over his shoulder, "So, can I come in, or is it off-limits for some reason? You didn't spill something toxic in there while I was gone, did you? Blowing things up was inevitable ..."

She trailed off, biting her lip - it had been 16 days, and only three owls between them. She'd left abruptly after they'd had sex, after being attacked, and without explaining any of it to him. And he'd run into Anthony. He'd called her gorgeous though, so they must be in good standing.

George folded his arms as he leaned his shoulder into the frame, just looking at her. "I think the phrase 'sight for sore eyes' can be worked in here somewhere, because I do like what I see." He smiled and pushed away from the door to step aside and let her past. "I took care of the toxic spill right away, I didn't want it eating through the floor or anything."

Once he re-entered the shop after her, he closed the door and pulled the shade down. He wasted no time in taking her around the waist and giving her a kiss hello. Maybe in a minute he'd ask how her trip was...

	She twirled around at his words, "Well, what you see is what you get, Mr Cowboy. I'm all yours." Oh, Merlin, she had missed him. A lot. Probably more than she should have for a guy she'd only been seeing for a month or so. Shades down? Check? Good looking man? Check. Privacy? Check. Kissing? Check check check.

	"Well, little lady," George said, pulling away from her enough to tip an imaginary hat, "I must say that's mighty good to hear." He kissed her again, bringing in the taste and smell of her. Good God he'd missed that. He broke away, almost reluctantly. "So. I imagine you're dying to tell me everything." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Mmm," Padma said, pulling him closer. "I can always talk later ..."

It was true, she could. And besides, she had Parvati to gush about to .George didn't want to hear the mundane details of a family that wasn't his. Kissing was so much better than that. So was reaching her hand in his robes and running her hand up his chest.

She pulled it - and herself - away quickly. "Unless you want me to talk?"

	George groaned a little in disappointment as her small, warm hand left his skin. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her closer, breathing in the scent of her hair. There was a fresh, floral quality to it that he liked very much. "I'd like to hear about it," he said, "but it doesn't have to be right this second..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He was warm and strong and warm and ... "How long does it take to get upstairs?" she muttered. "Cos I think we could do both, maybe. It was a small one-storey 2 bedroom house for the 15 of us ..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Upstairs is so very far away..." George said with a grin, brushing aside her hair to nuzzle against her neck. "Sounds rough," he added, "all those people sharing a bathroom." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What's this concept of - mmm," her thought lost as George nuzzled her neck. She slipped her hands back onto his chest, and then leaned in to kiss him again, wrapping her arms around his back. "We shared a tap with the rest of the village, but we're Wizards, so it made some things easier." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Mm," George replied, unable to say anything because his lips were quite busy. Clearly this summed up his thoughts on sharing a tap with dozens of strangers. "Clearly some good was to be had," he murmured, "was it the relaxing time you needed?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Relaxing, and I learned so much," Padma said, the excitement obvious in her voice. "The women even gave me some tips on how to 'get' a man." She leaned to whisper in his good ear, "would you like to hear about them?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	George smiled at the enthusiasm in Padma's tone. It was good to know that she'd had enough fun to still be thrilled about the trip. He ran his fingertips up her back at her question and nodded. "You could show me if you like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well," Padma giggled. "We'll need a bed." She glanced around, "Or a counter." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You know," George whispered in her ear, his hands sliding down to rest on her hips, "I have one of those right over here." He gave her earlobe a nibble and guided her back toward the counter. He turned her around so she was against the low surface. "Might I help you up, m'lady?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
