A few days after his
non-date that turned out to be very much a date and then kind of got weird because girls were sodding mental, George decided it was time to be proactive. To pull himself up by his bootstraps and try to figure out what the hell had happened.
So, he sent out a few owls. It was time for reinforcements.
(
Owl to Fred )
Well, maybe not clean, but Sirius was used to boys' rooms. He walked over to one of the beds and tentatively lowered himself down in front of it. Nearest the beds was the safest place - unless the twins were pranking each other, which was quite possible. Ah well, it was always a crapshoot with Fred and George Weasley.
After a few seconds, he determined nothing was going to happen to him or his arse, and so he settled down, leaning his back up against the bed.
He looked over at George. (Having lived with the twins at number twelve, Grimmauld Place for a summer, Sirius was able to tell them apart - most of the time.) "Right, so toss me a beer and a set of Extendable Ears, and let's hear your girl woes."

Beer! "Cheers, mate," George grinned, taking two and tossing one at Sirius. "And the pustules aren't for you. New line of pranks. Very exciting."
A small, long box with a set of the camouflage charmed Extendable Ears was also passed to Sirius, and then George sat back and took a long sip of beer. "Right." Merlin, where to even start? "We went out, yeah? And it went...well." Other than the jumping off of roofs that the mun is too lazy to look up and link, but trust me, it's there and the running away. "We were heading in to the city to see a movie. And then, bam!" A completely puzzled expression on his face, George shook his head slowly. "She was suddenly mad at me and shouting and walking away. And I had to chase after her and apologize, and I'm still not sure what I did."
He looked at Sirius and then up at Jim. "Are all girls this batty?" He really hoped not.

But still, nice guys.
"Women can be... tough, sometimes," he admitted to George. "Did... she want to talk at all about it?" If it had been Karen, they would have talked for hours about it.

He shrugged and smiled darkly. "Women are the most confusing creatures on earth. If I had a choice between taking on a dragon inside a swarm of angry Doxies and fighting with Lily, I'd choose the dragon and the Doxies any day." The sad thing was, Sirius truly wasn't exaggerating.

He missed the Quaffle and it rolled off his fingers, bouncing once on the floor and mooing like a cow. "And she did not want to talk about it. I had to chase after her. She's..." Infuriating? Intriguing? "Nutters."
Turning to look at Sirius, George shook his head. "Then why be with her, mate? I mean, Merlin, she makes me feel like my head is about to explode. No matter what I did, it was wrong! How is that even possible?"

And then the big grin came out once more. Oh, it was an apt comparison, but Fred made it mainly because he knew it was also an extremely undesirable one to George.

He was mostly here, he felt, in a listening capacity -- God knew he didn't have a lot of advice to dole out on women -- so he listened to George explain, and when Fred butted in he merely looked over at him. Well, until he said that last part, anyway. Then his brows lifted, his eyes darting to the camera side. "Okay then," he murmured under his breath.
Sadly, George really wouldn't have been the first guy he knew to date someone just like his mother.
