2008- George's POV

***A/N*** Hey everyone! How are you all?  I'm doing a Lee chapter next because it feels like I haven't done one in a while. Let me know what sort of chapter you want it to be? Fluff, angst, that sort of thing and I'll try my best to make sure it happens! Till then, stay hydrated, listen to your teachers... idk. Toodles! xx

---------------

I've had enough.

You know what? I've had more than enough.

He completely ruins my best mate, destroys her entire life. And what? Thinks that he can show up to my son's birthday party hours after his divorce looking for Emma?

No.

Not anymore.

"She doesn't want anything to do with you!" I roar, my wand pointing down at him.

"She's got my kid!" Travis shouts back to me. He's drunk. Clearly. And I don't give a fuck.

I bark a laugh, "Your kid? Oh, I've heard about your kid. The one that you've got waiting at home for you. How old is she? Thirteen?"

"Nineteen," Travis goes to sit up but I push him back down with the toe of my boot.

"Oh ho ho, nineteen. And tell me, Travis, how long have you been shagging her? Before you and Emma got married or shortly after?"

Violet puts her hand on my shoulder, "Don't cause a scene, George, do this in the back."

"No, you know what? I think this is the perfect place to do it. Show the entire alley how much of a fucking cunt this man really is!" I press my whole foot into his chest and smile down at him, "You're a cockroach Travis, might as well squish you like one."

Violet clears her throat, "A word, George?"

I turn around to look at her, "A word? What do you mean a word?" I whisper to her.

She comes closer and leans into my good ear so Travis can't hear what she's saying, "You're not actually going to kill this man right now are you?"

I stutter over my words at first, "I – well I was sort of thinking it yeah...?"

"It's your son's birthday."

"This is the best birthday present I could ever give him."

"He doesn't even know who this man is? And what are you going to do? Use the killing curse in the middle of the bloody alley and just wait for people to call Aurors?"

"Well we wouldn't have to wait, 'cause there's one in our flat right now and I'm sure he'll let me off the hook."

"You're not killing him. End of discussion... But hurt him a bit, just for me." She nods her head and takes a few steps back, leaving me with shock written all over my face.

I clear my throat and look back at Travis who is still lying on the ground, only looking a lot less scared than he was a few moments ago, "I –" I clear my throat, "I'm going to have to ask you never to come back here again, never talk to Emma again, only see your son on the days that the Ministry demanded. If I see you sniffing around here again you're going to get a lot worse than what you're getting tonight."

"Big talk for a man who just had to get a pep talk from his wife," Travis nods in the direction of Violet.

"If you want I can let her take over. I'm sure she'll be happy to torture you for a few hours," I lower my voice, "We had to stop letting her do it cause it was scaring the neighbours so this'll be a nice treat for her."
