!2003: 07, !incomplete, fred weasley, verity weller

WHO: Verity & Fred Weasley
WHAT: Fred's got news!
WHERE: Fred & Verity's house
WHEN: 9 July 2003
WARNINGS/RATING/STATUS: None for now/PG13?/Ongoing

Leaving Charlie colouring by herself in her room, Verity headed downstairs to investigate things for dinner. Although she rarely felt like cooking, she felt as though she should make an effort, now that she was a wife and mother. Even so, she attempted to have Molly over as often as she could and just casually let her see the state of their refrigerator. Within hours of her leaving, there were usually several owls winging their way over loaded down with delicious food.

Sticking her head in the charmed freezer, she breathed the cold air in deeply. Nothing in there looked appetizing and she picked up several wrapped items before giving up and turning to look through the takeaway menus.

Fred was a step ahead - mostly because he'd popped home that afternoon and determined the same thing about the state of their cupboards. As he apparated outside and then came through the door, there was a definitely Indian tint in the air from the curry he was packing home.

"Oi, wife!" He called out, laughing and heading for the kitchen to put things down. It was his luck she was there already.

	Following her nose, Verity sniffed Fred out, grinning widely at the sight of her husband. "You read my mind," she smiled, moving as if to hug him, but swooping down and lifting the bags out of his hands instead and hugging them. "Mmmm, food. I love you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I love - " Fred stopped and then snorted. "Wait, were you addressing that to me, or to food? Because if you're just professing your love for food - " He said as h handed over the take away - "I'm not going to tell you about the brilliant news I have." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm starving, alright?" Verity protested, grinning up at him as she set the bags on the table and crossed the kitchen. Pulling out flatware for them and Charlie's oversized colourful fork, she raised up on her toes to grab the plates. "And what's your news? Because I already want to kiss you for bringing home dinner so this news might make me even more appreciative," she asked, waggling her eyebrows at him.

"Well, I'd tell you, but you never answered my question in the journals, so I don't have all the information I need..." Fred winked, then turned his back to her and wandered away as if he didn't have exciting news. "Fix us plates, yeah?" He said with a laugh, then disappeared into his daughter's room. Because news could wait until he'd gotten his welcome home hugs in.

	"Fred!" Verity stomped her foot impatiently, but hurried to her journal and flipped through the pages until she found Fred's entry. Scribbling a hasty response to him, she hurriedly dished their meals up, setting up Charlie's booster chair and getting them all drinks. "Weasley!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"What, woman?" Fred came out with Charlotte in his arms, laughing and smacking a kiss to Verity's head before getting their daughter settled in her chair. "Fine, you're going to drag it out of me, yeah? No patience, you know that. So, you know the idea for the new shop. Brazil. Adriano and Rogerio on their national team are going to be the spokesmen there. They're massively popular, but I guess they've had some bad boy feud they're looking to get rid of in the press. Figure, coming together for laughter and whatever. The benefit is, we've now got about three weeks to get everything set up there and a shop ready to do a grand opening when they come back between Cup games."

	At Fred's announcement, Verity's jaw dropped. "Brazil?" she knew Fred and George had been talking about expanding there, but she hadn't realised it was so soon in coming. "You're taking me to Brazil?" she laughed and spun towards the counter to grab the napkins before settling down beside Charlie. "How much of this trip is going to be spent working?"

"I am going to Brazil," Fred corrected, sitting down and then grinning up at her, before picking up Charlie's plate and putting just a little of the less spicy food onto it. She liked paneer, and naan bread. And the really spicy curry, but Fred wasn't going to let Verity catch him feeding her that.

"You get to go with me. And we have to draw up the plans, which is already done, and pick out the location, and sign some paperwork, but I can do that in what, one day?"

Verity shook her head and dished herself up. "It doesn't sound nearly as romantic when you put it like that," she informed him before taking a bite of her curry. "And what about hiring?"

She reached out and filled Charlie's sippy cup with juice, screwing the top on tight and handing it back to her. "Who's going to run the store? Are one of you going to stay there?"

"Stay in Brazil?" Fred shook his head, and then waved an arm. "Do you see how red headed and pale we are, Verity? We'd be lobsters."

But they were good questions, and Fred shrugged and loaded up his own plate. "We've got a short list of good managers there that we'll interview. Just like we did with France and the stores in the States. They can do their own hiring."

	Handing Charlie a napkin, Verity tucked in. "And just think how protective you were over the Hogsmeade shop... didn't even trust your own wife to hire someone." she rolled her eyes good naturedly and stretched her foot over to touch Fred's. "When are we leaving?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, we'd like to have it done by the second week of the Cup games, so that they can start running doing the adverts and the grand opening as soon as the team comes back in August. But we'll have to see how long it takes to get things set. What do you think about next week?" Fred hated planning trips - he'd rather just go on them without packing - but they had Charlie to sort out, too.

"Next week sounds good," Verity ducked down and reached for the fork that Charlie dropped, catching it just before it hit the ground. "There's loads of people who're willing to look after the squidget. Bill and Fleur maybe?" Handing the fork back to Charlie, she took a sip of her water, pulling an innocent face. "I'll just have to see if I can get my boss to give me time off. He can be kind of a jerk sometimes."

"Probably best to go right as the Cup starts. Less focus on anything not Quidditch, anyway, and George can bring in that girl that helps sometimes for the extra business..." Fred grinned. "Maybe leave next Friday or something? And yeah, your boss is a sod, maybe you should sha..." Fred stopped and looked at Charlie, then cleared his through and continued with, "Convince him. And yes, Bill and Fleur. You want to go see Victoire, right?" That last part to Charlie, who nodded happily at the idea.
