My Only Exception

31. George's worst fear

꧁♡︎♡︎♡︎꧂

When Ron and Avery arrived at the burrow, they saw Molly Weasley feeding Zeus.

-Oh, thank Merlin, you're okay! - The woman exclaimed, worried. - Charlie owled me. Tell me, why did you go to Rumania just to ride a... dragon?!

Ron looked at Avery, who was uncomfortable.
-Well... we all live once, right? We must live it... - He said, making Molly hit his head with the newspaper.

-Thanks for feeding zeus... But I thought that Fred and George... - Avery began.

-It seems they don't know how to take care of a dog... - Molly admitted, patting the dog.

Avery crouched to Zeus' height to hug him. It's been a while since she last saw him.
-Hello, boy... - She patted him.

Molly looked at her son, who was looking at the girl lovingly and smiled tenderly.
-Avery... would you like to eat dinner here? Bill and Fleur are here, we well. - The woman offered.

The girl was about to answer, but saw how a blonde girl watched Zeus from a distance.
-That's Victoire, Bill's daughter. - Ron presented.

-Ron! - The girl rushed to hug her uncle. - Pretty dog. - She pointed at Zeus, who was excited to see a girl.

-Yeah... pretty dog. - Ron repeated, smiling. - Look, Victoire, this is Avery.

The little girl looked at her and smiled. She shook her hand in a greeting way before getting out of Ron's arms and pat the dog.

Avery questioned herself how was it that the little girl was blonde and so beautiful... She knew the answer when she saw Fleur, who smiled before greeting her.
-Ron... can I ask why you still have that stuffed animal? - She asked, to which the ginger laughed.

-You'll see... Take it, I'll be back in a moment. - He asked before entering the burrow.

Avery looked at the stuffed animal, all weirded out, analysing it and realising that it didn't make any sense that Ron had given it to her.

-Ron! What is it?! I was sleeping. Do you know how hard it is to take care of Zeus? - Georrge sleepy voice asked, getting out of the house along with his younger brother.

-Great, now that we're all three out here, George, look at this. - Ron took the stuffed animal, showing it to him.

Suddenly, George widened his eyes and began to back off, while shaking his head, now scared and terrified. That stuffed animal...
-Where the hell did you get it?! - He asked, horrified. - Get that thing out my sight.

Ron, on the other hand, gave the list to Avery, who was still confused.
-Darling, could you read number nineteen? - He asked, to which she rolled her eyes.

-Number nineteen: Help George overcome his worst fear. - She recited, looking back at the animal. - Are you for real? That stuffed animal is your worst fear?

Ron showed Percy's stuffed animal with his face on it to George, who closed his eyes, avoiding that trauma once again. It was a mystery how he feared that thing so much.
-Ron, take that away! - He pleaded, still with his eyes closed.

The ginger, who had the animal still on his hands, threw it to the ground and took out his wand.
-Incendio. - He pronounced, lighting the stuffed animal up in flames in front of George, who was surprised.

Avery still cound't understand a thing. What was happening?
-Okay, now that the animal's gone, you can't be scared anymore, Georgie. - Ron told him, to which the twin frowned.

-How do I know it won't get into my nightmares? - George asked, still not being really sure.
-George, I've just burn it right in front of you. You don't have to fear anymore. Goodbye, stuffed animal with Percy's face... - Ron assured, looking at the girl.

-I suppose you can... erase number nineteen. - She grinned.

-Yes, but I haven't finished yet. Today, I'll do number twelve. - He said, determined.

Avery started to laugh. That was practically impossible. What was he thinking?
-And you think you'll be able to do it? Come on, Ron... I gave you that task for something. - She crossed her arms.

They both entered the burrow, where Bill was chatting with Ginny.
-Avery, would you be so kind to read nnumber twelve? - Ron asked again.

Ginny arched an eyebrow.
-Number twelve: Make Ginny give you a key. - Avery read, knowing that was practically impossible.

-Ginny... - Ron began, making Bill laugh. Come on, it was Ginny. She wasn't gonna give the key away so easily.
-What do you want, Ron? - She smiled.

-Would you be so kind to give me the key that Avery's given to you? - The ginger asked.
-No. - She responded directly.

-Is he doing number twelve? - Fred asked, to which Avery nodded. - Oh... This'll be good.

Ron knelt down on his knees in the middle of the dining room, before Ginny.
-Ginny, you know that, if you give me thaat key, I'll be with Avery, right? Help me, please. - He begged. - I'm begging you.

The ginger girl looked at Avery, who clearly said 'don't give it to him' with her expression.
-I think you're good. - She replied, without changing her mind.

Ron scoffed while standing back up and searching in his pocket. When he took out the necklace, he showed it to her.
-Give me the key and I'll give you Charlie's necklace. - He offered, making his sister widen her eyes and ran away from there.

Avery frowned, confused.
-What just happened? - She asked. - What have you done to her?

Ron smirked at her.
-Three... Two... One... - He counted, until Ginny returned with the key.

She gace it to him and got her brother's necklace in exchange, leaving everyone surprised.
-How could you? Traitor. - Avery scolded, dissapointed.

-Sorry, Avery. This necklace is morea important than that key. Priorities. - She snickered.

The ginger boy showed the girl how he erased another task from the list.
-Only two left. - He said, excited.

Avery read the two tasks that were left and looked back at the ginger, who jumped joyfully.
-Good luck. I won't make them so easy, Weasley. - She winked at him.

Ron smiled. Suddenly, he got a better idea. He was about to say something completely insane, but what'd happen if he tried?
-Who's in for a ride in a private jet with Avery and I tomorrow?

Bitches, I tried posting this yesterday but I went to my grandpa's because it was his birthday.
