george weasley, parvati malfoy

Who: George Wealsey and Parvati ~~Malfoy~~ Patil
When: Afternoon
Where: Hosgmeade
What: George and Parv bicker, as that's what they do best recently.

After a minor accident that caused a not so minor explosion in the flat he shared with his brother George had decided to call it a day, even though it was barely past two in the afternoon. He stuck his hands in his pockets as he strolled through Hogsmeade, enjoying the (mostly) fresh air. It was a little early to start drinking, he thought, so maybe he'd treat himself to something sweeter.

He set his course for Honeydukes, distracting himself with thoughts of freshly-made fudge, and perhaps s dozen or two chocolate frogs. He'd been meaning to check out the new cards... He was obviously not paying attention as he approached the door of the shop, pulling it open and violently dragging out the poor soul who'd had their hand on the knob, trying to exit.

"Oh! So sorry, I... Oh," George's lips turned down into a faint frown when he saw just who it was he'd pulled out of the shop. Of all the luck... "Hello, Parvati."

Parvati had spent much longer in the Honkeydukes than she probably should've. It wasn't her fault. The brightly colored candies, beautifully wrapped truffles, dancing gingerbread men....it was intoxicating. She had wanted to host a girls' night at some point, and that would obviously require candy and lots of it, so....Okay, who was she kidding...she came for candy today because she wanted it. Just because girls were made of sugar and spice didn't mean that they didn't a continuous supply of it!

Bags bursting with a good few pounds of fudge and other melt-in-your-mouth savoury treats, her hand reached out for the door handle before she suddenly found herself stumbling forward as someone pulled the door open.

"Oh my goodness!" She cried out, half thinking she about to hit the floor when somehow she managed to catch herself. Then, her eyes met George's and instantly she cursed her sweet tooth. "George."

Straightening up she fixed him with what she hoped was a cold, distant gaze, "Don't you look where you're going? Or is your head so far up your bum that you can't see at all?"

"I'm sorry, Parvati. I was looking where I was going, but you look so downright plain today that I didn't even see you at all," George explained, hand still holding the door to the store open. He knew by now quite a few ways to make Parvati angry, and insulting her fashion sense was definitely one of them.

"Don't let me keep you from stuffing you face full of sweets, though. Women always put on a few pounds after getting married, don't they?" Calling her fat was another.

Parvati felt like she was on fire, she was so angry. Every part of her hummed with absolute rage. "Plain? Oh don't even-" As if Parvati Malfoy could EVER look plain, "-try that! Unless of course you've blinded yourself by one of those stupid candies of yours."

She was fighting very hard to stay calm. It wouldn't do for anyone to see Mrs. Malfoy lose her shit and hex the crap out of George Weasley in front of Honeydukes. The only problem with that is that George was one of two people who could anger Parvati beyond the possibility of being cool and collected. Ironically, the other was her husband. You have more in common with Draco than you'd like to think, George.

But at the fat comment, Parvati couldn't even TRY to stay calm. Heart shaped lips dropped open into an O and she reached out and slapped (yes, slapped), George across the face. "You BIG GIT!"

Fortunately, no one was around. Except for a squirrel that looked a little terrified by all the humdum.

Perhaps that last comment had been hitting below the belt, but he honestly hadn't expected to get slapped for it. It was Parvati he was dealing with, though, so he shouldn't have been too surprised. His head turned to the side from the force behind the gesture, and his cheek began to sting something awful. Parvati was a lot stronger than he remembered.

"That's no way for a Perfect Pureblood Princess to act, now is it?" He frowned, bringing his hand up to lightly rub at his cheek as he looked back over at the huffing woman.

Parvati instantly felt a tidal wave of guilt as she noted how the soft skin of his cheek reddened. Fortunately, it was crushed by the anger that coursed through her veins. "Well, you're not exactly acting like a Nice Gryffindor Boy now are you? You do realise exactly who you are, right? Saying all those mean things? Exploiting the weaknesses, you KNOW I have? You're DRACO, George. You're Draco just the way he was when we were eleven."

"Don't you dare compare me to that git, Parvati," George snapped, an edge creeping into his voice that very few people ever heard.

"I've treated you better than that slimy worm ever has, while he's the one you're off playing house with and I'm the one getting slapped in the face." His hand, still holding onto the doorknob of the store, was gripping it so tightly his knuckles were turning white.

"Excuse me if I'm acting like an ass. I thought that's how you liked your men."

Parvati flinched slightly as George's voice became remarkably hard. It was offputting, he wasn't the sort to get so riled up. "He is not a git!" She snapped back, her own ire rising. "I won't let you talk about him like that!"

In silence she let him rant, her eyes raking over his cold expression and his white knuckles. His statement was dangerous. Their argument stemmed over the fact that George didn't want Parvati to marry Draco, someone who he thought would treat her badly. Unfortunately, it wasn't that simple. Their whole 'best friend' relationship had undercurrents of something much more intense, which they both probably knew, but rarely acknowledged. The comparison of which man she was with versus not, was borderline acknowledgment.

"I'm not going to stand here and defend Draco to you for the billionth time. I know you will never get it." She managed to find her voice, "I...I don't know what to say to that."

"If you're so concerned with what I like, I like you. I like us. Why can't you be my George again? Why do you have be this horrible beast?"

And after a moment of silence, "I'm sorry I slapped you." Big fat tears had welled in Parvati's eyes and she was fighting to keep them back.

George had known as soon as the words left his mouth that he shouldn't have said them but he was angry, damn it, and not thinking clearly. He simply didn't trust Draco with Parvati. His Parvati.

Why can't you be my George again?

Something in him broke. What was he doing? He'd barely spoken to Parvati, the girl who was supposed to be his best friend, for over a year. And when they they finally meet face to face, all he can do is insult her and nearly make her cry?

"... I'm sorry I called you fat and plain," he muttered, looking off to the side so he wouldn't have to look at the tears welling in her eyes.

She was sniffling quite noticeably now, "Apology accepted." Her voice wobbled in that irrestible way that Damsels in Distresses often had. "But I still shouldn't have hit you. It was mean and I acted like a big girl."

Now she thought she really was going to cry and instead of staying there to be rejected by George yet again, she attempted an escape. "Well...have a g-good day, then." Her voice caught and Parvati quickly moved to brush past the redhaired man.

	George's hand twitched as he fought back the instinct to reach out and stop her. His pride wouldn't allow it. "Goodbye, Parvati," he muttered, turning away as he let her go. Maybe it wasn't too early for a drink. (Reply to this) (Parent)
