Fred hadn't been to the shop in two weeks. It was ridiculous, really, but he missed it. He'd seen George, but he'd barely seen Verity, and he hadn't had time to work on any new products.
Lee's idea was bloody brilliant, and important, and needed time to set up properly, but they had to get the shop in Hogsmeade built, too, and he had to go back to work. George had approved the plans, though. Now he just had to have Verity look over them, and tell her about the tunnels, and likely duck something thrown at his head.
He was on his way to the end of the alley when, passing the Flourish and Blotts windows, something caught his eye - a familiar set of broad shoulders.
