George awoke with his neck slightly hurting. He straightened it and realized that he had spent the night sleeping on the couch. He was about to get up when he discovered that someone's head was lying on his chest. He blinked a few times as his vision came into focus and he remember that he had been talking to Luna last night. They must have fallen asleep in the midst of talking. Luna stirred a bit and her eyes slowly fluttered open. She quickly noticed that she was lying on George's chest and she immediately sat up, her cheeks beginning to turn pink.

"Sorry George…"

"It's alright Luna, We both crashed last night." Free to move now, George stood up and stretched his arms. The two awkwardly stared at the floor, neither one wanting to make eye contact with the other. Finally Luna decided to pipe up and break the silence.

"I can make breakfast. If you don't mind…"

"Sure, um, not sure what all I have but… Feel free to have at it." George ran his fingers through his messy hair. "I'm gonna go change… I don't really have anything for you to change in to…"

"That's alright." Luna gave George a warm smile as she got up off the couch and headed towards George's flat's tiny kitchen. He watched her for a bit while she began searching through his cabinets and his fridge. He shook his head and headed to his bedroom.

While George was off changing, a million things were running through Luna's mind. Most of them had to do with George. She had fancied him a bit at Hogwarts, nut she had often dismissed it out of her mind because he seemed "untouchable." She smiled to herself at the thought that she had been so close to him last night. George emerged from his bedroom to Luna humming some song while in the midst of cooking what looked like an extravagant breakfast. He was watching her when someone knocked on his door. He went and opened it to see his younger brother and his two friends standing there,

"Damn, I forgot you three were coming over this morning." Ron gave his brother a cheeky grin and the three stepped inside George's flat.

"Umm, George?" Ron said as he, Hermione and Harry stopped mid-step as they entered George's flat.

"Ya?" George asked closing the door behind them and looking at them questioningly, wondering what had made them suddenly stop.

"Why's Luna here?" Hermione supplied in a hushed whisper when Ron didn't respond, and the trio's eyes once more flashed to the kitchen where said blonde was making breakfast. George's eyes slowly followed their's and landed on her too, watching her for a few seconds before shaking his head and looking back to the other three once more.

"We were talking last night and then we realized it was really last so she just crashed here, why?" George asked as he ran a hand through his already messy red hair.

The three new arrivals exchanged looks once more and didn't answer, though each made sure to avoid eye contact with him. Finally annoyed George through his hands up and said, "WHAT!"

"It's just… weren't you…" Ron trailed off; worried he would anger George more.

"Aren't you dating Angelina?" Harry quickly piped in. George resisted the urge not to groan. He had completely forgotten about his girlfriend, Angelina Johnson. She would have had a cow if she found out that Luna had spent the night, even if they just had been talking.

"I am… At least I think I am. Angelina and I had a bit of a row yesterday. She stormed off. And besides, Luna and I were just ta-"

"Hello Harry. Hello Ron. Hello Hermione. What are you doing here so early?" The four quickly turned there heads and noticed that the blonde girl had temporarily stopped her cooking and taken notice of the guests.

The trio was at a loss for words until Hermione finally spoke up, "We came to help George with the shop. Lee and Verity are out for a few days so we agreed to help George." The boys quickly nodded in agreement.

"Well, you'll be joining George and I for breakfast right?" The trio exchanged glances and gave a muttered yes. Luna smiled and went back to her cooking. George turned back to the trio.

"Don't tell Angelina."

"You're not helping you case mate. I mean-"

"Angelina will blow a fuse if she finds out. If we're still together that is… Anyway, I swear we spent the night talking and she and I fell asleep together and- Why do keep looking at me like that?" George ran his hand through his messy hair again. A Ron opened his mouth to speak but Hermione stopped him.

"Your hair is very messy George." With that Hermione grabbed Ron and Harry's wrists and pulled them to the kitchen table where Luna was setting up breakfast. George wanted to be mad at Hermione but instead his cheeks turned red. He quickly walked over to the table and sat down. Luna sat down next to him.

"You alright George?" Luna whispered to George. "Your cheeks are almost as red as your hair." George curtly nodded and began filling his plate, and his mouth, with food.

Once the food was gone and the table cleared, George told the trio to head to the shop and he would meet them in a few minutes. Luna waved her wand and the dishes began to clean themselves.

" I learned that from your mum. She- Are you sure you're alright George?" George was leaning against his fridge, staring at the ceiling. He was about two seconds away from repeatedly hitting his head against the wall.

"I just- They- You… argh…" George groaned in frustration. Luna let out a tiny laugh and went over to him.

"I heard you guys. You really didn't make it easy for yourself." George looked at the blonde girl as she reached up to fix his hair. "It's really quite messy." They were face to face with their noses near to touching. George fought the sudden urge to kiss her. When Luna finished trying to fix his hair, she realized how close they actually were. She paused for a moment, staring directly at George's eyes, before quickly pulled away. Both their cheeks had turned red. The hem of Luna's shirt had suddenly become interesting to the girl, while the plant on the windowsill occupied George's attention. The two shared another uncomfortable moment.

"I should, um, take off."

"Yeah, I've probably got to get to the store…" Luna looked up at George with a warm smile.

"Remember what I told you George. I'll see you later." With that Luna disapparated out of the apartment, not wanting to make the awkward moment last any longer.

"Just talking… That's all…"

For Lost In The Lies' My Scenario, Your Story Challenge. I really tried my hardest not to make them kiss. It was really hard. Really hard. I just felt with the scenario I got that there should be romantic attraction, but they shouldn't get together yet, Hope you liked it!
