My Only Exception

10. New boss

꧁♡︎♡︎♡︎꧂

The twins' apartment bell rang over and over. Didn't they have consideration?

Fred smelled something weird when he woke up and thought that that dog smell would be George who hadn't taken a shower... However, he got scared by seeing Zeus' butt beside the bed.

George, who was heading to open the door a bit tiredly, heard Fred's scream and rolled his eyes. After opening the door, Avery didn't hesitate in entering quickly.

-Zeus? Zeus, where are you? - She asked searching for the dog who jumped to his owner's arms quickly

-It's not like we killed him or something... We know how to take care of a dog, Avery. - George said watching how the girl made sure that nothing had happened to her pet

Fred exited his bedroom, glaring at the dog. It wasn't pleasant to smell the morning farts of a dog.
-Hello. By the way, how was the date? - He asked while heading towards the bathroom

-The truth is that your brother is... an amazing person. - She admitted without believing she just said that

Zeus barked, confirming the situation. The giant carrot was completely perfect for her. He knew it since the first second.

-So... what did you do? - George asked

-We talked... ate... Oh, yeah, he asked me if I wanted to have something wit him. - She said calmly

Fred exited the bathroom really worriedly with a toothbrush in his mouth.
-What did you say? Did you say 'yes'? - He asked to which she shrugged

-No... I told him I'm not ready for a relationship. But I wanna keep knowing him... and I need to get his trust. - She said while standing up and putting Zeus' strap on him

George frowned.
-And what did he tell you? Did he end up depressed? - He asked to which Avery shook her head with a smile

-He said that... he'd do anything, anything I asked for. - The girl commented shrugging a bit nervously by the twins' serious look

Fred and George shared a glance at each other, smiling. Oh, Ronnie... what happened to you.
-That's... surely a progress. - Fred said

-It is... and I think I got the perfect way that Ron demonstrates you that he's ready. - She said smiling - Now, if you excuse me, I'll go see him... Well... Zeus will go.

Exactly. Zeus was going to stay with the ginger that drove him crazy again. It's just that he loved the giant carrot, he would never say it enough.

When the dog noticed that they were approaching the burrow, he began getting excited, pulling the strap from the girl and to make it worse... the ginger got out to see the girl.
-Great... - She said by watching how Zeus jumped on top of the boy

Ron smiled by seeing that the dog still liked him and looked at the girl who looked at him jokingly.
-Hi... - He told her while standing up from the floor

-Hi. I hope Zeus isn't a problem... - She said rolling her eyes
-No... I got free time. - The ginger said smiling - He won't be a problem.

And it was true. He had become an Auror along with Harry. Which meant that, until there was an emergency... he could rest.

-By the way... have you thought about what I can do? - He asked getting back to the topic of the date

Avery shrugged.
-I... I might tell you this afternoon. When I come back for Zeus. - She told him, smiling - See you later.

-Sure. - He began saying but she surrounded him in a affective hug quickly - B-Bye!

When she left, the ginger smiled like an idiot and made Zeus enter the house who looked at him curiously.
-You know... you're so lucky to have Avery as your owner that I envy you. - He said while placing a plate with water and another one with chicken that was left over from the other day in front of the dog

Zeus was moving his tail excitedly. The carrot was the best. He enjoyed being with him.

The one who hated being at work was Avery who rolled her eyes each time that her "workmates" made a sexist-sense joke.

-Alright, before we start today... I would like to present the new center boss. Hired by the one and only Nicole Jensen. - One of the men said presenting the new member

-And why didn't you tell me before? - The girl asked with a bit of anger

-Because a girl like you shouldn't have so much pressure on herself... You'll get wrinkles if you think too much. - The same man said entering the room, provoking some laughs. He looked like 38 years old, formally dressed, glasses and an arrogant smile.

-Who do you think you are to talk to me that way? - Avery asked furiously

-Reynhard Sinaga, your new boss, Nicole Jensen's actual partner. - He said smiling and looking at the girl
-What did you just say? - She asked - My mother wouldn't date... you. - She said without believing it

Reynhard stared at the girl, analysing her. Starting with her shoes, then her legs, and finally her torso, neck and face. Managing to get her nervous.
-Why would I lie? - He asked with a smile that made her want to take away - I don't like your attitude, young girl.

-Don't worry, I'll make my mother open her eyes and you won't see me anymore. - She said furiously, exiting the office

Meanwhile, Ron was playing with Zeus with a string. Both were pulling from each side to see who was stronger.

Suddenly, the door opened, revealing his mother and father who were horrified.
-Ron Weasley! What have I told you about adopting pets from the street?! - She asked him furiously

Zeus hid behind the youngest ginger while Ron was too slow to run away from his mother.
-Mom, ir's not what you think... Zeus isn't mine... I just, I'm just taking care of him. - He said really nervously

-Who does he belong to then? - She asked placing her hands over her hips, still furious
-Umm... I... - He began saying a but nervously - He... belongs to a friend.

Molly and Arthur's expressions changed completely to happier ones. Proud? It could be. Ron with a girl?
-So how's Hermione? - Mrs. Weasley asked, entering the house

-What? Mom, dad, the girl isn't Hermione. - Ron said a bit uncomfortably

Arthur was gonna say something but someone knocked on the door, indicating that there was someone outside.
-Are we expecting someone? - He asked

Ron and Zeus shared a scared glance at each other. They didn't have any idea of how Ron's parents were gonna react...

Dude, I think I'm starting to get obsessed with the song Don't Blame Me by Taylor Swift.

I mean, I'm not a Swifter but I like her music.
