That Damn Weasley Charm II G.W

Part 2, Chapter 9- Cloud Watching

"Is that really a good idea at the moment?" I say sheepishly. I would really rather not deal with a bunch of angry Gryffindors right now.

"Guess you're right. Wait here and I'll be back in five minutes. I'm just going to get dressed."

"Get dressed and put on some deodorant right?" I scrunch up my nose for emphasis.

George acts offended. "I don't smell that bad! Here get a better sniff." And with no hesitation, he shoves his sweaty armpit into my face.

I shove him back so hard he loses his balance a little. "You're absolutely disgusting Weasley. Go change and I swear to merlin if you come out here smelly I won't talk to you for a month."

George says some long Latin word and the portrait of the fat lady pops off the wall allowing George to enter. It's definitely not five minutes till George steps out of the common room, thankfully, however, he does smell a lot better than he did.

"Let's go outside and watch the clouds," George says to me as we are walking down the stairs.

"Go watch the clouds? That is very much not the thing I expected you to suggest."

George shrugs his shoulders, "Either that or we can sit at the bottom of the staircase with Fred and track how the stairs move so we can do something later on." George goes to the railing and peers down to the floor, I follow suit and sure enough, Fred is sitting there staring up at us with parchment surrounding him. He waves up at us and we wave at him.

"And what are you two going to do with that information once you have it exactly?" I look at George with a raised eyebrow.

"Tell the whole school so no one is ever late to class again obviously."

I squint at him before starting down the stairs again. "And this has nothing to do with those muggle things you asked Harry about, is it? Slinkys or whatever you called them?"

"Absolutely not I haven't got a clue what you're talking about."

We decide to leave Fred alone and we head outside to find a 'perfect cloud viewing spot' as George put it. Which basically meant finding a spot in the grass that didn't have any people around. We lie down in the grass side by side and look up at the clouds.

"That one looks like a rabbit doesn't it?" George points up at a white blob that looks nothing like a rabbit.

"Are you daft? That's clearly a block of cheese."

George rolls over onto his side so he can look at me. "A block of cheese, are you serious?" I turn so I can see him head-on. "Use your imagination."

"Oi it's pretty imaginative to see a block of cheese in the sky you know."

George laughs and hangs his head, "You're an absolute idiot you know that right." I put my hand on his chin and pull his face up to look at him in the eyes and kiss him on the lips.

We stay outside literally all day, pointing out shapes and arguing about who saw what and what makes more sense. When the dinner bell rings we head back inside and part ways, George meeting up with Fred and Lee and a few other Gryffindors while I head over to Emma and Walter.

"Where have you been?" Emma asks when I'm within talking distance from them.

"Believe it or not I spent the day watching the clouds." I kiss both Emma and Walter on the cheek and link arms with them.

"Why in the world would you spend your entire day doing that?" Walter says, we walk into the great hall and find a spot at the Slytherin table for dinner.

"It was George's idea, either that or help Fred map the staircase." When we sit down the table fills with food and the clanging of cutlery fills the hall.

"Yeah, I saw him doing that... why is he doing that?" Emma passes me the mashed potatoes and I put a spoonful onto my plate.

"dunno, the boys always have something going on," I say. Walter passes me the sausages and I grab one.

I pass the plate to Emma but she scrunches her nose. "I don't eat meat anymore."

Walter drops his fork which clatters onto his plate, "How do you just stop eating meat?"

Emma loads her plate full of corn and beans and things, "Well when I was in France I met some wonderful muggle-borns when my parents weren't looking of course. And they introduced me to a thing called vegetarianism! It was fascinating really."

"I really do think that this is the first time I've seen you even look at a vegetable." I point at Emma's plate with my fork.

"Get used to it because I'm never touching a single piece of meat ever again." Walter snorts, I laugh and Emma throws a string bean at him. "Not like that you pig."
