Christmas was always a crazy time of year in retail and Weasley's Wizard Wheezes was no different. The shop was filled with customers, all wanting to purchase that perfect last minute gift, and George was only too happy to help each and every one of them but a growling in his stomach told him it was time to eat. Leaving Fred and Verity to man the fort - so to speak - George squeezed through the crowd and exited the shop with a promise to bring back food.
He moved with a little more ease down Diagon Alley to the Leaky Cauldron. Fred and George regularly picked up lunch from the Leaky Cauldron while working at WWW - Tom made the best fish and chips (well, just chips for Fred, he didn't like fish). Entering the pub, George immediately felt warmer; he hadn't bothered with a scarf to walk the short distance from Wheezes to the Leaky. The place was full and busy like just about any shop during the holiday season, but not overly so.
Looking around, he nodded in greeting to a few people he knew and wandered over to the bar. "Afternoon Lucy," George smiled at the female server, who was familiar with both Weasley Twins. "You're looking very festive today. I like the bell earrings." The server thanked George with a fond smile, before taking out a notepad to get his order.
After Lucy disappeared to the kitchen again, George looked along the bar and spotted a very familiar face. His own broke out in a cheeky grin as he recognised Penelope and made his way over to her.
"Hello there." He said with a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. "Forgive me for being so rude, but you look just like a girl I used to know. She dated my brother for a bit and then disappeared about... oh four, five years ago." He then stuck his hand as if meeting the woman for the first time. "Anyway, I'm George Weasley. And you are?"
