Travelling the world was incredibly exciting. Luna absolutely loved it because there were so many different creatures to find and her husband, Rolf, never ridiculed her for whichever animal she had seen. He was always curious and ready to document anything either one of them saw, even in passing.

Their creature chase had led them around the world so many times already that Luna had almost lost track of the places they had been recently and where they were meant to revisit. Everywhere Luna had ever been had simply blended into one huge place that was simply the world, and Luna somehow liked it like that.

Rolf was much better at taking care of those things. Luna could do it if absolutely necessary, but Rolf was far more detailed in his writings just like his father before him.

Luna caught a glimpse of familiar red hair and wondered for a moment when they had made it back home. Despite how long it had been since the last time she had seen it, she still remembered the nearly trademark Weasley hair.

The boy came out of behind the bushes again, curiously trailing Rolf from a short distance. Luna hadn't thought any of the younger Weasleys had been interested in creatures and plants.

Carefully sneaking up behind the boy, Luna whispered, "And who are you?"

He yelped, causing Rolf's attention to be drawn towards them. He joined them after a moment.

"So you're the one who's been scaring all the creatures around here, who are you?"

"S-sorry. I'm Fred Weasley."

Luna looked at him carefully. "George's son, I'm guessing? I hadn't known you were interested in creatures."

Fred looked down. "Yeah, although he seems to already have an expectation of me, as does everyone else."

"Believing in their expectation is like poison. It eats away at your mind and conscious until you can no longer be happy with who you are. People used to call me Loony, but I knew I wasn't and that made sure their words didn't affect me. Do you know who you want to be?" Luna asked gently.

Fred nodded slowly, uncertain at first before each nod began containing more conviction.

"Good. If you're interested in this, I'm sure I can teach you how to walk silently. Rolf has been complaining about me not being too much of help lately. Maybe you can help him," Luna laughed.

Rolf mock frowned in Luna's direction. "I said no such thing."

Fred looked at Luna hopefully. "Really?"

"Yeah. There's no time better than the present. Come on, I'll teach you over there so we can leave dear Rolf to work in peace." Luna sent Rolf a cheeky grin before motioning towards a path that seemed a little away from the main area.

Fred hesitated for a moment, glancing at Rolf who seemed to have had no say in the entire matter.

"Go ahead. Merlin knows how long I've needed a helper. Luna is wonderful and all, but she tends to get a bit distracted at times. Now go, before my dear wife wanders off after some creature again."

Fred smiled, and nodded before running off in the direction Luna had gone.
