George crossed the room and leaned against the counter next to you as you dried your hands on a towel. He stared at you with a smug smile as you put the towel away with a giddy grin pulling on your lips.

You turned to face him with your eyes shining. George opened his arms, so you slid across the kitchen in your socks, landing in his outstretched arms with a symphony of giggles. He wrapped his arms around you and slightly swung you side to side as you beamed at the red-haired boy. His actions made a soft chuckle pass through your lips.

George looked at your lips as the delicate sound passed through them. He lifted a hand to cup your cheek as he breathed, "I missed you so much." His eyes passed between your eyes before flickering down to your lips again.

You nodded and admitted, "I missed you too. You have no idea how much I wanted to be in your arms again."

Without a moment's delay, George dipped his head and captured your lips in his. You held onto the back of his neck as you explored one another's mouths. George gripped your sides, and you stood on your tiptoes to get as close to him as possible. You sighed into his mouth when his hands gently squeezed your hips.

Someone coughing dragged you apart. You both snapped your heads to the side, finding Sirius standing there staring at you. Distracted by your excitement, you didn't notice his harsh stare casted at George or the way his nostrils were flared with eyebrows drawn down in a tight expression. You raced across the room and crushed your godfather in a tight hug. You cheered, "Sirius! I'm so sorry I haven't properly greeted you yet. I'm so happy to see you again!"

Sirius looked down at you with a happy expression when you pulled back slightly, already beginning to forget what he had just seen. He put hands on either of your shoulders and grinned, "It's been far too long, dear. I'm glad you're here now."

You wrapped your arms around him again, feeling like your heart would explode. This day had certainly started out terribly, but it ended with so much joy for you. After a moment, you pulled back and glanced back at the wide-eyed and red-cheeked George. You beamed at him before waving him over excitedly. As George approached you and Sirius, you announced, "Sirius, I have someone I want you to meet. Although I guess you've already met... well, anyway, this is George Weasley, my boyfriend."

Sirius' eyebrows moved to his hairline with this comment, but a small smile finally settled on his lips as he watched you happily snuggle into George's side. George looked down at you with a beaming smile as he wrapped an arm around your shoulders.

You beamed up at Sirius with a hopeful look, and Sirius smiled back at you. He nodded at George and clarified, "Don't get this one involved in any of your pranks, understand?"

George nodded fiercely and tugged you closer, the exchange making you happily giggle. Sirius' smile spread wider across his face at the noise you made. Sirius knew better than anyone that you deserved some joy in your life, and he wasn't about to take that away from you. So, he patted George on the arm and gave you one last grin before leaving the kitchen again.

With his departure, you tipped your head back to look at the tall boy holding onto you. You sighed, "I'm so, so happy."

Rubbing his thumb across your smiling lips, George whispered, "Me too."
