Ginny looked down nervously at her feet, and George felt suspicious. "Actually, George... we've come to talk to you about the flat. The one for rent. We'd like to live there. I just... you should understand, George. You and Fred needed to get out on your own, and so do I. Plus, I can't bear to go home and stay with all those... wedding plans going on. Do you know that Harry is getting married?"

George cocked his head at his sister. It wasn't possible... "Did you just find out?" The thought made George, who was normally the more easy-going of the twins, quite mad. This was his baby sister, his only sister, and... she looked like she was doing alright. "I can't just let you have it, Gin. Fred and I need the income..."

Ginny interrupted. "Don't be daft, George. We intend to rent it from you. I just need a job first, and Luna has one..." They both turned to look at the girl who was shaking an object next to her ear.

"LUNA!" George tried to spring across the shop to stop her, but the cannister exploded in her hand and out sprang a bunch of monkeys playing musical instruments. George put his head in his hands tiredly. "We'll hire you here, Gin. We need the help. I'll take Luna upstairs so she can see the flat, and you can start now. By cleaning this up." As he spoke, one of the monkeys rolled a bass drum into a display. He quickly pulled Luna up the stairs, leaving Ginny alone in the store with Dobby hiding somewhere.
