gwthealmighty: ::he steps out of the fireplace, looking around warily.
he hears noises coming from the general area of the kitchen and grins,
before crossing to the couch and plopping down on it:: Hey, Lee! ::he
looks over his shoulder at the open door to the kitchen, catching a
glimpse of his friend::  How's it going in there?  Preparing my gourmet
feast, are we?
dreds4prez: **snorts** If you think you're getting a three course meal,
think again, mate! You'll have spaghetti and like it!
gwthealmighty: ::looks at you hopefully:: and?
dreds4prez: And if you're nice to me, you might get dessert.
gwthealmighty: ::grumbles and walks to the counter::  spaghetti and
that's it.  ::takes out some bread::  tell me you've at least got
butter? garlic salt?
dreds4prez: **gestures towards the fridge** In there. Garlic salt's in
the cupboard over here. Set the table, will you? I need to make sure
this doesn't burn.
gwthealmighty: ::walks around, grumbling::  get this, set the table...
one would think i'm your hired help, mate.  ::does it all anyway::  so
if i'm nice to you, what's for dessert? ::begins to quickly make garlic
bread::
dreds4prez: Pancakes? That's the best I can do with what I've got in
here.
gwthealmighty: ::looks at you, then cracks up::  only you, mate.
::nudges your shoulder:: only you.  pancakes would be great, then, if
that's your best offer
dreds4prez: **grins** Pancakes and alcohol, actually.
gwthealmighty: ::smiles and pulls out a baggie:: that's not all, mate.
dreds4prez: **raises eyebrow**
gwthealmighty: ::shrugs:: unless you don't want any. fred flew it in
from italy over to me. it's quite good, actually.
dreds4prez: Sounds good to me. Are you done wetting the table? This is
almost done.
gwthealmighty: ::nudges your shoulder:: yeah, hang on.  ::carries the
bread to the plates::  god, i'm starving. i sincerely hope you're not
out to poison me, lee, cause i highly doubt that i'd notice.
dreds4prez: **snorts** Right, I'm gonna poison you. Have you forgotten
what my Potions grades were like?
dreds4prez: **finishes with the sauce, mixes it with the pasta, and puts
it on the table**
gwthealmighty: ::grins widely and winks:: that was why i asked.
dreds4prez: **shakes head** Shut up and eat, George.
gwthealmighty: ::mock salutes:: yes sir.  ::takes a rather large bite::
mmm. not bad. ::chew a bit slower:: hmm. not bad at all.
dreds4prez: You were expecting otherwise? I told you I can cook. **digs
in**
gwthealmighty: ::raises an eyebrow:: like i thought you were being
serious.  ::grabs a piece of garlic bread::  so how's work been treating
you?
dreds4prez: Eh. The usual. slave labour, being treated like crap, ...
Gotta start somewhere, I guess.
dreds4prez: How's Hogwarts these days?
gwthealmighty: i'm still there.  ::snorts:: sad as that is. and i can't
even enjoy the benefits of the team anymore. ::glares at you::
dreds4prez: **cringes, looks down at his plate** Yeah, um. Look, I'm
sorry about that, all right? I just. You should've *heard* yourself,
George. I was afraid somebody was gonna get killed.
gwthealmighty: ::drops his fork::  look lee... ::sighs::  i know i
probably sounded crazy, but... lee, when someone fucks with my mates i
feel like they're doing it to me personally. and no one treats my
friends like that. ::jaw clenches::  hell, no one should treat another
human being like that. and i know i was just sinking to his level,
but...
gwthealmighty: ::looks away:: i'm sorry. i was acting out of control. i
just...  it's alright. i'm glad you went to dumbledore.
dreds4prez: **quietly** Thanks. And I probably would've done the same
thing in your place, you know.
gwthealmighty: ::nods and keeps his head down::  yeah.  ::laughs, a
little bitterly:: could you imagine if it'd been fred he went after? or
you? god, i don't think i could've held onto that last thread of
self-control. he would've been finished.
dreds4prez: **blushes, thankfully unseen** **quietly** I'm just glad
you're okay.
gwthealmighty: ::nudges your foot under the table and tries to hide a
grin:: hey, you were there too. ::looks up, suddenly:: and i TOLD you i
wanted you to stay towards the back of the group, you cunt, why didn't
you listen to me?
dreds4prez: *grins** When have I ever listened to good advice?
gwthealmighty: ::makes a face:: still, you prat. you could've been
seriously hurt. look what he did to flint
dreds4prez: **shrugs** I told you. I'm a Gryffindor. Too stupid to run
away before I get hurt. And I got out without serious injury, didn't I?
gwthealmighty: you're bloody lucky you did. if you'd gotten yourself
hexed, i would've beat the hell out of you when you woke up. honestly.
dreds4prez: Will you stop acting like my mother? **points for at you** I
mean it.
gwthealmighty: ::glowers at you:: will you stop waving that thing at me
and put it down?
gwthealmighty: ::grumbles into his food:: gonna poke my eye out or
something
dreds4prez: **shoves his fork in the spaghetti, taking a huge bite**
gwthealmighty: ::raises an eyebrow at your stuffed cheeks:: oh, that's
attractive.
dreds4prez: **sticks out tongue, displaying half-eaten food**
gwthealmighty: ::grins and steals your garlic bread:: very mature, mate.
dreds4prez: **swallows food** Hey! Give that back!
gwthealmighty: ::takes a large bite and grins at you::  no, it's good.
dreds4prez: So make your own. **reaches across the table to grab the
bread back**
gwthealmighty: ::pulls it out of your reach, teasing you:: but lee, i
did make it.
dreds4prez: **glares** I am never making you dinner again.
gwthealmighty: ::grins widely and tosses the bread back onto your
plate:: like hell you aren't! this is damn good, mate. i'll be by next
tuesday as well, mind you. i fully expect there to be a bit more to each
in here, though.
dreds4prez: Oh, you're just inviting yourself in, are you?
gwthealmighty: ::looks down at his plate:: of course, if you don't want
me to it's alright.  ::pushes his food around on his plate:: i know,
you're busy and you've got things to do, so...
dreds4prez: Don't be an idiot. Of course you can drop by any time you
want. 
gwthealmighty: ::grins up at you:: lovely. i'll be sure to do that.
dreds4prez: **finishes his plate** Right, then. You done?
gwthealmighty: yeah. ::stands and motions for you to sit back down and
takes your plate:: hey, the cook doesn't clean where i come from. give
me that. you get started on those pancakes of yours.
dreds4prez: **salutes** Yes, sir. **goes to the fridge to get milk and
eggs**
gwthealmighty: ::washing the dishes:: hey, you make them from scratch?
dreds4prez: **stops in the middle of the kitchen, arms full with the
eggs and milk** Of course. How else?
gwthealmighty: ::pauses, then snickers:: nevermind.  ::washes off the
silverware:: is there anything i can do to help? i'm almost done here
dreds4prez: **puts things on the counter** Sit down,  don't touch
anything, don't get in my way. **starts making the batter**
gwthealmighty: ::dries his hands off and walks behind you, peering over
your shoulder:: are you sure? i mean, i'm pretty good with a--
dreds4prez: **hits your forehead with spoon** I said, don't get in my
way.
gwthealmighty: ::pouts and snaps the wet dishrag at your arse:: fine, be
that way
dreds4prez: Ow! **glares** Didn't I tell you to be nice to me?
gwthealmighty: ::grins innocently:: want me to kiss it and make it
better?
dreds4prez: **gives you a very "We are not amused" look** Very funny.
gwthealmighty: ::grins charmingly:: there's really nothing i can do?
dreds4prez: **rolls eyes**
dreds4prez: No, there isn't. **takes out pan and starts baking the
pancakes**
gwthealmighty: ::peers over your shoulder again::  you sure?
::fidgeting::
dreds4prez: **waves spatula** I'm going to hit you if you don't get out
of my way.
gwthealmighty: ::backs up quickly:: i just remembered, i.......... have
to use the loo. i'll be back in a jiffy
dreds4prez: **looks at George disappearing from the kitchen** What the
hell?
gwthealmighty: ::peeks his head into the kitchen:: is it safe to enter?
dreds4prez: **grins** The pancakes are done, yes. 
gwthealmighty: ::smiles and comes in fully:: well, then!  ::walks to the
fridge and pulls out syrup:: need anything from in here?
dreds4prez: There's beer on the left. Get me one, too, will you?
gwthealmighty: sure thing. ::grabs two bottles and sits down::  here you
are
dreds4prez: Ta. **opens bottles, shoves pancakes towards you**
gwthealmighty: ::stares at the stack:: i'm officially in love with you.
::drowns his pancakes in syrup, then take a giant bite:: mmmm. yes, if i
were a woman i'd have your children. ::keeps eating happily::
dreds4prez: You're not funny, Weasley. And you don't have child-bearing
hips. **stuffs face with pancake**
gwthealmighty: ::keeps eating:: i would protest and tell you just how
lovely my hips are, and how you're the first person to ever complain
about them, but i'm enjoying this too much right now.
dreds4prez: **snorts through a mouthful of pancake, swallows** Everyone
else probably had ulterior motives for not complaining about your hips.
gwthealmighty: ::smirks around a mouthful of food and raises his
eyebrows once, nods his head, and doesn't reply::
dreds4prez: **shakes head, contnues eating**
gwthealmighty: god, lee. where the hell did this recipe come from? i
wouldn't mind waking up to food like this everyday. ::stuffs his face
some more::
dreds4prez: **grins** Family recipe, mate. Top secret. My mother would
kill me if I told. And then my sisters would revive me to kill me again.
gwthealmighty: you'll just have to make them for me again sometime,
then. ::reaches for more syrup::
dreds4prez: **grin** Any time, mate.
gwthealmighty: ::looks up and catches your eye, flashing you a grin::
i'll remember that, lee.
gwthealmighty: ::looks up again and snickers::  you've got syrup on your
face.
dreds4prez: **reaches up to his face** Oh, crap. **grabs kicthen towel
to clean it off**
dreds4prez: Thanks.
gwthealmighty: ::rolls his eyes as he watches you miss:: here, it's just
right--  ::reaches up his hand and rubs at the little smudge at the
corner of your mouth::  there.  ::grins at you::
dreds4prez: ... Thanks.
gwthealmighty: ::picks up his bottle and grins at you over it::
anytime.  ::drains the bottle and gets up, heading for the fridge:: want
another one?
dreds4prez: **finishes his own** Sure.
gwthealmighty: ::pulls out 2 more bottles and twists off the cap for
you::  here. ::plops back down and sips::
dreds4prez: Thanks. *takes a huge sip, tilting his head back**
gwthealmighty: ::watches your throat work, then tears his eyes away:: 
so, visiting the parents tomorrow?  ::lamely picking at his label::
dreds4prez: Yeah. Mum wants to make sure I'm eating properly and
everything, you know?
gwthealmighty: yeah. you seem to be feeling much better, though. of
course, it could just be because i'm around.  ::grins and nudges your
foot under the table again::
dreds4prez: **nudges back** Sure, mate. You're a regular ray of
sunshine. **grin**
gwthealmighty: ::grins and shifts, his knee knocking into yours::  could
just be the hair, you know.
dreds4prez: **ruffles your hair** Freak.
gwthealmighty: ::grins and grabs at your hand, trying to knock it off
his head::  yeah yeah, you know you love me.
dreds4prez: **puts his arm around your neck and hugs you** Course I do.
What's not to love? You're a smartass, you got me in trouble more times
than I can remember, oh, and then there was that incident in second year
where you and Fred pushed mle into the girls' dormitory in my underwear.
gwthealmighty: ::grins into your neck and hugs you back:: exactly,
what's not to love? ::pulls away slightly, looking at you with an
indignant look on his face:: and, might i remind you, you weren't
complaining much at the time! ::laughs a bit::
dreds4prez: **takes another sip** That was before I learned that women
are like an air of mystery, and since I'd pretty much shown all ...
gwthealmighty: ::grins and nudges your shoulder:: --and quite a show it
was, i'll bet.
gwthealmighty: ::nudges you again:: are you gonna finish that train of
thought? ::flashes you a smirk and takes a long sip, a little beer
escaping down his throat::
dreds4prez: I don't think I will, not with you in the room, Mr "If it
moves, I'll shag it". And you're spilling your beer.
gwthealmighty: ::flinches and reels back a bit, then scowls slightly,
turning away:: yup, that's me. george weasley, wanton slut.  ::drains
his beer then gets up to toss it in the trash, moving to lean against
the counter on the other side of the room::
dreds4prez: Hey. **walks over, puts a hand on your shoulder** I didn't
say it was a *bad* thing, you know.
gwthealmighty: ::nods and shrugs your hand off his shoulder:: yeah. 
::looks down at his hands::
dreds4prez: I. **sighs** I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that, you know
that. 
gwthealmighty: ::looks up at you from under his lashes:: yeah, i know.
it just... ::sighs and leans into your side:: is that really what people
think of me, lee? ::blinks up at you::  mr. "if it moves, i'll shag it"
as you put it.
dreds4prez: **mutters under his breath** well fuck them if that's what
they think. I know you're more than that. **puts his arm around you and
hugs you close**
gwthealmighty: ::buries his face in your neck and sighs:: what would i
do without you, lee? ::pulls back a bit and gives you a little kiss on
your cheek::
dreds4prez: **wrinkles nose** Thanks.
gwthealmighty: ::laughs into your neck:: anytime.  ::pulls back and
looks at your clock, then gives you a wry grin:: it's late, and i've got
an early class. but don't think i won't be back next week, mate
dreds4prez: Wouldn't want to get you in trouble with any of the
professors. I'll be looking forward to next week, then. **smiles**
gwthealmighty: oh, hang on. ::reaches into his pocket and pulls out the
little plastic baggie:: here, since i came and ate all your food and was
a right pain in the arse. hang onto this.
dreds4prez: I'll hang onto that until next week. And you weren't being a
pain in the arse.
gwthealmighty: ::snorts and walks into the living room, pulling out a
black pouch:: you always were a bad liar, mate. see you next week, lee.
::winks, tosses the powder, and he's gone::
