That's what friends are for (closed to George - And ANNIE! [arrival!])

[chosethem]

Really, Mitchell wasn't that surprised that Hermione had a boyfriend. She was Hermione (and didn't she marry Ron? He couldn't remember). But after exchanging messages, he headed to the Black Sheep, he ordered shots and beer, settling into a booth. Poor George. He had shite luck with women (except Nina of course.

"I'm sorry, George." And Mitchell did feel bad. "But I don't want you to get hurt." Or worse.

[chosethem]

"And you'll have wolf ears!" Mitchell's voice spiraled high. "George - !"

[timeothemonth]

"It's not like you and Annie don't already make fun of my ears!" George's voice rose, too, before the emotions fizzled and he slouched. "It's back to the chicken on a string then..."
