Who: Bill Weasley & George Weasley When: Tuesday Evening Where: George's Shop What: Bill comes looking for George. Plus beer. Rating: Low.
Bill's new house was perfectly fine. It was large enough for the kids, close to his parents, had enough land and was far from cities. It was old and charming and rustic and Bill fucking hated it. It was the quietest place he'd ever lived. After growing up at The Burrow and then Hogwarts and then sharing tents and flats with blokes and then moving in with Fleur... this was the first time in Bill's life he lived alone. Alone was not fun, it turned out. He could hear the wind against the front door and the only steps echoing in the house were his.
Tuesday, just a few days after Louis' party, Bill was home alone. Again. He'd been at Gringotts the entire day, working up plans for their next dig and Bill loved it. He loved the adventure and excitement that came with his job. He loved the flurry of activity before and during a trip. He came home happy and eager until the door shut behind him and it was quiet.
He lasted five minutes.
Flooing to Diagon, Bill stopped at the Leaky to get two beers and then swung by a cafe to order up a proper batch of fish and chips. Armed with beer and food, he walked along to George's shop and let himself in. Family didn't knock. "George," he hollered. "I've brought food, but you have to stop working long enough to get some."
