Luna skipped down Diagon Alley, passing many stores and people. She stopped and got an ice cream and went along to her destination. She stopped in front of a large sign and gazed up at it dreamily. She walked in still eating her ice cream. She looked around Weasleys Wizard Wheezes with wonder.
"George the shop isnt opened yet, is it?" she said. George started a little, how did she know he was behind her? She turned around smiling. "You have a creeky floorboard. He looked down and wanted to smack himself on the head. DUH! They were supposed to have gotten that fixed forever ago.
"You never answered my question." Luna said.
"Oh...Yeah it isnt opened yet."
"It really lovely, I like all your stuff. Its going to be a fun year at hogwarts I assume."
George just stared at her and felt a little sad. He knew that she would be on the wrong end of alot of the pranks they had here. Not many people liked her. Luna sat down on the counter and ate what was left of her ice cream. George walked over and sat with her.
"I thought you werent supposed to be going out alone." George stated.
"Daddy said I could as long as I stayed around here. I dont like being cooped up in the house just because the order thinks I'm going to be a target after the fiasco at the end of last year."
"Come on Luna it cant be that bad." Luna laughed.
"Hmph the only time I get to leave is when Ginny invites me to dinner, or my dad wants to run an errand. Which both are very rare. The only reason I got to come today is because I said I wouldnt leave him alone until he let me."
George just looked at her, he felt a bit bad for her.
"Luna, how about I give you permission to floo here whenever you want, we could use the help when it gets busy. Also come to dinner with me tonight I'll drop by your place around 5."
Luna giggled, "Thanks George that means alot to me...but wait your parents live 10 minutes from my house."
"Ah but we cant have you wandering around alone now can we? If we lose you than who will brighten the world with their eccentric outfits and beautiful smile?"
Luna blushed. "Well I'm going to go now, I need to pick up some weezlewart. Bye George...Bye Fred." She jumped off the counter and kissed George on the cheek and ran out of the shop. George turned around to see him twin standing there. "Tsk, Tsk. George what are we going to do?" George shot his brother a wierd look. "Don't look at me that way Gred, I can tell when my twin likes someone."
George shook his head. "You think I like Luna? She's in her 5th year at hogwarts!" Fred laughed, "And...? Your point being?"
"Point being I'm not you who is madly in love with a 6th year!" Fred went crimson at that. "I told you before I do not love her nor do I like her!" George looked skeptically at his twin.
"Than pray tell me Forge, why you've been writing her all summer. Hmm?" Fred's face went even a darker shade of red. George just laughed and patted him on the back. "Just remember she'll be at the burrow for supper." Fred turned around and caught his brother's arm. "Yeah, same goes for you." than he walked off. George just shook his head and opened the shop for the day.
They avoided eachother for the rest of the day until it came time to close the shop. George looked at his clock and got ready to apparate to Luna's when Fred stopped him. "Look, George you may not want to admit it but I know you have feelings for that girl. She's young I know but when you love someone it doesnt matter now tell me when you think of Luna, do you think of her age?"
George just stared at him. "No I dont." Fred nodded his head, "That's what I thought. Dont screw this up dear brother." George apparated to Luna's and stood on the porch for a minute before knocking on the door. Luna opened the door, "Oh wow you're here." George was caught off guard for a second. "I did say I was picking you up at five right?"
Luna giggled. "It's not that usually people dont show when they say they will." George grabbed her hand. "You dont have to worry about that with me." Luna blushed at little and shut the door. George apparated them their and they walked into the burrow. Mrs. Weasley ran over and pulled George into a bonecrushing hug. She than saw Luna. "Luna dear, I havent seen you in ages. Did Ginny invite you?" She said.
George shook his head, "She's here with me mum. She never gets to leave the house anymore besides she's amazing company." Luna blushed a little and they sat down at the table. George looked over to his twin and saw that he was in a conversation with Hermione. He smiled to himself and wished they would just hurry up and tell everyone they were dating.
Soon after dinner started and everyone started up conversations. George looked over to Luna who was talking to Harry. She looked so beautiful, her hair seemed was like a halo, around her face which was as pale as the moon. She had the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen. He could stare into them for hours.
Mrs. Weasley sat at the front of the table watching her children with a knowing smile. She noticed the way Fred kept sneaking glances at Hermione, she also noticed her left hand and his right were underneath the table. She looked over to George and saw something she had never seen with any girl he had brought home.
She saw love like fire in his eyes, the way he watched Luna wasnt a lust thing he cared deeply for her, and it looked like he had for a long time he had just now realized it. She was happy for George things rarely worked out in his favor but she knew this would. After dinner George offered to walk Luna home instead of apparating.
They walked along the path and George started talking. "You know you look beautiful tonight." Luna just looked at him. She smiled, "Really? I didnt do anything special I'm just plain old Luna." George took her hand in his. "You're never plain old Luna, every time I see you, you enchant me. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. If you wouldnt mind I'd like to say that I date the most beautiful girl in the world."
Luna eyes widened. "Did you say you want to date me?" George nodded his head. Luna closed the distance between them and kissed him. When she pulled back she said, "I've been waiting for you to say that for years."
Just letting everyone know this is going to be jumping through years. So dont get confused I'll explain it in the chapter I swear. Well R&R :]
