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.

Sure, yeah. Are you having a party or something?

More like a casual gathering of friends to mourn my lack of common sense when it comes to the fairer sex. Or, you know, my total zero chance at getting a shag.
There'll be snacks! And possibly hard alcohol of some kind.

Uh, okay. Sounds awesome, in a "sorry your love life sucks" kind of way.
I'll bring something by.

Yes to the Muggle Malady line. I suggest adding crisps that give you a hantavirus, or perhaps rectal prolapse, whichever is funnier.
No to the not leaving pants lying about. Expect to see several pairs on your pillow, as well as one just inside the door. Who's the company, and should I prepare a Dungbomb-and-Whiz-Bang welcome?

Brilliant. And rectal prolapse is always funnier. How about caramels that give you malaria?
Fine. But you won't know which one of them will have wart-powder and which will simply have that Shrinking Salt scattered in a sensitive area.
Hey, there's a thought. What if we sold boxers with Shrinking Salt already in place? An innocent gift to give to a bloke right before you break up with them!
Oh, it's just Sirius and Jim. Although they'd appreciate the Whiz-Bangs. I just thought it'd be nice to have a manly evening. You know, with the food and the...manly...
Fuck it. Remember that bird I went out with? Well, it was rubbish and I apparently made her mad and now I'm begging for advice.

The caramels are a good idea. I also recommend lattes that give you lazy eye.
You put Shrinking Salt in my pants and I shall put Ballooning Balm in yours. Small bollocks are a shame; big bollocks are a bloody blight!
Hmmm, you're right, there's definitely a new product line in there! We could also add pants that include Pustule Paste and a hair-growing lotion of soms sort.
Jim the Jew? Excellent, I've been wanting to meet him. Think he might want a Kosher Kreme? With just the smallest hex that might turn his eyes purple?
It'll be good to see Sirius again. There's a roll of lice-growing loo paper that I've been meaning to show him.
Also: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Ickle Georgie had a bad date? What did you do - give her a dozen Rain-in-Your-Face Roses? Or a box of Fever Fudges? Come on, out with it. Can't help you till you tell me what you did!

Not bad, not bad. What about pasties for heart palpitations? Juice for lockjaw?
My bollocks don't need any help. And Shrinking Salt probably wouldn't be all that noticeable on yours. Good thing no one wants to see them, yeah?
Hmmm...good thinking. Hair removal might also be an option we could offer. Or wart-powder.
We should definitely offer him a Kosher Kreme. And Sirius also mentioned needing some new Extendable Ears - what do you reckon we give him the deluxe model to try out for us? The ones with the longer range and the camouflage charm? He's dating Harry's mum (which is weird, don't you think?) and she's a Professor, so we can ask him to use it in class and see if it can go unnoticed. Grand selling point, that, if it works.
Oh, you're just brilliantly helpful. A real mate in time of need. Just...sod off and get over here. I'd rather not commit this to any sort of permanent record if you don't mind.

Um. That was supposed to sound like a joke, not a threat. And don’t you dare send Buff back on any sort of magic-doohicky. He ate my pillowcase this morning and is under punishment.

Ah, girl troubles. Professor Homsar's probably your best bet for that sort of thing, but I reckon I could give you a tip or two, having had plenty of experience with girls and with girl trouble in particular.
Got some time now? I'm free and could come by. I'd love to see the pranks, as well as pick up a new pair of Extendable Ears.
-Sirius

Ah. Yes. Well, since I am morally opposed to spending time with Professors outside of detentions (or classes, but only if I absolutely can't help it), I suppose you'll have to do.
Come on by. My mate Jim's stopping by as well, and Fred's here. And I reckon we have a few pairs of ears lying about. I'm working on a set that glow in the dark.

Some professors are worth spending a good bit of time with. I'll just leave it at that. And come on, don't tell me you never found ol' McG to be quite a looker for someone her age....
All right, I'll be by in a wee bit.

Hopefully, though, Sirius, Fred, and Jim would be able to offer him advice. Not about the Quidditch pranks. Well, about that, too. But mostly about girls. In specific, what the bloody hell they were thinking. Because George was fairly certain that they could just chuck most of the classes at Hogwarts and instead offer a course into the twisted mind of women and it would be far more useful than, for example, Ancient Runes. Lot of rubbish, that.

"Bloody hell, I - ...oh, oh, wait a moment, wait a moment! Yeeeessssss, there it is, there it is!" Fred turned towards George and held up one finger, which was now covered in hair. "It took about ten minutes to develop, but I think I've finally got the charm that appends the hair-growing lotion to the pants."
Fred's eyes had been fixed triumphantly on his finger, but now they flicked over to George. "Oi, cheer up, emo boy! You want my advice? Go on another date with this girl you're mooning over, but this time bring Percy with you. You can't help but look good in comparison next to him."

He knocked on the twins' door, then hastily stepped aside -- after checking the floor to either side for traps. He liked the guys, but they were born tricksters, and he didn't trust them as far as he could throw Dwight.

He came around the corner just in time to spot Jim's quick sidestep. "Nicely done," he remarked, nodding approvingly. "Probably just saved yourself from a Dungbomb attack. Unless, of course, they were anticipating your anticipation of their prank, in which case you're probably due for said Dungbomb attack any second now."
Grinning, he added, "You must be Jim. I'm Sirius. I'd shake your hand, but it's currently holding my wand just in case the Dumgbombs are pointed at me."
