Pairings: George Weasley x Fem!reader
Summary: you're wondering around WWW to find a gift for your nephew
Warnings: mention of flirting?
there's gonna be a part 2
you wondered around the shop, feeling a little cramped from all the people looking around, especially kids, running around with their hands full
you had been meaning to come to the shop ever since you saw it in the paper a few months ago, but you figured you'd go after the whole rush of the grand opening.
however your nephew's birthday was coming up and you hadn't got his gift yet, so you decided to go today, to the shop his mother wouldn't let him go to, to look for something to keep him occupied
you looked up from the ground and quickly ducked as a spark came flying around the room.
your gaze followed the spark as it flew up and exploded into a mini firework
as the bright, vibrant colours of the explosion faded away, you were left to make eye contact with a man on the second level staring down at you with a small smirk.
you felt your cheeks heat up as the man looked at you curiously.
you looked back down and continued walking through people to find something for your nephew.
you go on your toes to reach for a product on the top shelf when a little kid runs past you, bumping into your side, making you lose your balance and stumble backwards
you were scared you were going to bump into someone or break something but then you feel arms catch you and hold you up, putting you back on your feet
still a little startled, you look up, seeing the man from before, smirking down at you confidently
"y-yeah, i'm fine" you mumbled
"we usually put the best products on the top to we can help the pretty ladies that can't reach them" he winked
"what if they just used their wand?" you pondered
"they never do" he shrugged with a smile
with his hand still on your lower back, he reached up slightly and grabbed a box with the big writing 'decoy detonators'
h smiled at the box before handing it to you
"is that what you wanted?" he asked politely
"well i'm not sure.. would you say this is a good gift for an 11 year old boy?" you questioned
"oh absolutely, unless this boy's mother has a short temper" he joked
"eh, she sort of does, kind of deserves it though, she needs to loosen up" you hummed
"i'm assuming this mother is not you?" he raised an eyebrow cockily
"it could be me" you defended, as a joke
"but it's not" he smiled, taking his hand off your back and stuffing them into his pockets
"how would you know?" you frowned
he chuckled softly before he answered "well for starters you look too young, there's no wedding ring on that finger of yours and no indent of one- indicating there never was a ring- and i think if he were yours, he'd be here to tell you what he wants, or you'd know. and if you were his mother, you would not be buying this"
he tapped the box as he looked at you
"ok so maybe he's not mine, that doesn't matter" you huffed, surprised by his response
"so, is this a birthday present?" he asked curiously after clearing his throat
"yeah, he's turning eleven, i want him to have something cool before going off to hogwarts" you sighed
he towered over you, leaning against the railing as you stayed on the second level
"i think that's perfect, especially for hogwarts, he'll definitely need it if he's planning on getting into risky situation like i did" he informed
you stared up at him in thought, deciding this was the gift you'd get
"alright, great" you smiled
"is that all or would you be interested in a love potion or two? the ladies go crazy for it, although a woman as beautiful as you probably won't need it" he winked again
"how come?" you raised an eyebrow
"you probably got a handful of men swooning over you without knowing it" he smirked
"oh yeah? how would you know?" you walked past him, beginning to walk down the stairs, him trailing after you with a cocky smile
"you might be talking to one of them" he shrugged casually
"pardon?" you stopped, looking behind you as he stood a few steps up from you
"i think you heard me" he snickered as he walked down, pressing up against you as he passed your frame on the narrow stairs
you took a deep breath, watching him as he continued walking down the stairs
was this handsome businessman really flirting with you?
you looked down at your feet for a second before looking back up, not seeing him anywhere
how could he just disappear?
you frowned and walked down the rest of the stairs before looking around the many shelves of candy
soon enough, your hands were full of boxes of fainting fancies, extendable ears, canary creams and fever fudge
you went to walk over to the register when a little kid ran past and bumped into you again, causing a box of fainting fancies to fall from your hands.
you knew you couldn't catch it, as all the other boxes would fall, however just as it was about to hit the ground, the man from before caught it
"ah, left you for a minute and now you're wanting to make a mess of my shop? didn't take you as that type of lady" he joked, leaning up, keeping it in his hand, knowing it was probably best for both of you
"well, that's quite the sum of products you got there" he raised his eyebrows
"you're probably happy about that. more money"
he scoffed "I'm not trying to take pretty ladies' money, i'm trying to put smiles on kids faces"
"well i think your successful in both of those categories" you snorted
he laughed before looking at your full hands "is that all or do you need an extra pair of hands?"
"i think he'll have enough" you said, cradling the boxes, making sure none of them fall
"perfect, let me check you out then" he smirked
your eyes went wide at his statement "w-what?"
he smiled, licking his lips
"get you checked out, at the register" he said obviously
"oh, right, yeah" you nodded
he shook his head in amusement as he turned on his heels, leading you to the front
you followed beside him as he still held one of your boxes
"if it makes you feel better, i've already checked you out multiple times while you've been here" he grinned smugly
before you could respond he left your side to walk around the counter
while he walked around, you put your things down and waited for him to scan them in
"he's gonna get in a lot of trouble with all these" he chuckled as he rang them in
"mm, i can already see him getting scolded by McGonagall"
he hummed and told you your total
"that doesn't seem right, it should be more than that" you pointed out
"i gave you a small discount" he whispered, making sure others didn't hear and ask for one too
"you didn't have to do that" you shook your head
"a pretty lady shouldn't be paying as much as the actual total" he shrugged
"so you give small discounts to every 'pretty lady'?" you raised a brow, not sure how to feel about it
"no, you're the first" he replied, leaning against the counter
you rummage through your purse and give him a little more than he totalled you
"there you go" you beamed up at him
he went through the coins and slid the two extra back at you before putting the rest in the register
you rolled your eyes before taking the two coins back.
"do you have a name? or are you just pretty lady?" he wondered, tilting his head
"pretty lady" you responded
you looked down as he handed you your bag full of products "thanks"
"you should come by more often, maybe i could check you out again"
you blushed as he winked flirtasiously
"i'm good...?" you stopped, realising you didn't know his name
"right, I'm good George..thank you for the help though" you stepped away, nearing the exit
"whatever you say pretty lady" he sighed, the handsome smile of his never leaving as he watched you leave
