Propping the box on her hip, Verity unloaded another row of daydream charms and shook her hair out of her face. "I could use a drink," she called back to Fred, who was counting out the till. They'd only closed a few minutes ago, but Verity felt better already. It had just been one of those days where every minute felt like an hour and everyone seemed to be in some kind of mood.

"Or several drinks." Sealing up the box, she glanced at the section before moving towards the storeroom. "You have any plans tonight?" She made her voice nonchalant, but her heart beat a little faster at the though of going out for a drink with Fred. Who knew what would happen?

Putting the box away, she came back out and hopped onto the counter beside Fred. "How'd we do today?" She asked, eyeing the money piled up beside the register.

"Brilliant," Fred answered, making the last notice and locking the money away for George to go and deposit in the morning. "Just like every day." Because even on days where everyone seemed to have crabs up their arses, they were still at the WWW, and the mood was always a lot lighter than it usually would be elsewhere.

"Drinks, huh? I could go for a drink or twelve. " And he had something he needed to yell at her about, he thought vaguely, but he'd slept since then and couldn't quite remember what it was. It would come to him with a few drinks though, he was sure. "Muggle place, though. Tom's a bit sore with me."

Slipping off the counter, Verity slipped an arm casually through Fred's. "How about the Hog's Head?" She gave his arm a squeeze, then dropped it to grab her jacket. The days were still sunny, but September nights had a bite to them. "I've got the keys to an empty flat I'm thinking of renting if the new place goes well."

It took her a few moments to work her way up to the next question. She hadn't really talked to Fred about the new line George had propositioned her about. Whether it was embarrassment or something else Verity didn't know, but she hadn't been able to form the words. "Has George talked to you about the new line?"

	"Was that an invitation, Weller?" Fred winked again, and waited until she was outside to lock up the shop. It took a while to set all the right wards, especially since some he and George had created themselves just for the shop. "Because I do like a good breakfast." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her heart fluttering, Verity tried to inject the right amount of nonchalance into her voice. As much as she wanted to jump him right now and snog him senseless, she was all too aware that he was just teasing her. "All you have to do is say the word," she responded, not joking at all but hoping that didn't come across. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He didn't see her outside, and at least by the time he got inside - where he assumed she'd gone - he knew what to say about the kiss. "Next time you want me to shut up about something you can just tell me," he offered, shrugging and obviously teasing as he slid into the booth beside her, not across from her. "What was that, Weller? Angling for a raise?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Another set of drinks came and Verity snagged hers, downing it quickly and ignoring the little voice reminding her that she was drinking with her boss. Her boss who she had a huge crush on. "And oh so modest," she teased, winking and draping her arm over his shoulder and the back of the booth. "That's why you're my favourite. But don't tell George." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
