The Great Hall was full of the sounds of chatter, laughter and children filling their plates.
"Georgie, why are you staring at little Loony?" Fred asked when he noticed his brother wasn't touching his food.
"She eats like a Weasley." George sighed, resting his head on his fist.
"No one eats like a Weasley." Fred said looking over at Luna.
"She does…I think I'm in love." George sighed.
"I don't know whether to be terrified or impressed." Fred nodded, going back to his food.
"It is little Loony…you should be a little of both." George sighed.
Fred set his fork down and turned to his twin. "You're serious? You like her?"
George nodded, staring at Luna with a pathetic smile on his face.
"Then talk to her." Fred said looking from his brother to the girl.
"I'm four years older then her. I don't think that would be right." George said, finally looking down at his food.
"Talk to her." Fred urged. "It doesn't matter, age is but a number."
George sighed and stood up. "I'm going to bed."
Fred stood up too.
"Look, Luna's leaving too…talk to her." Fred said as the two walked out of the Great Hall.
Luna was walking up the grand staircase.
"I don't think I can." George, the forever shy twin, sighed, staring at her longingly.
"Hey Luna!" Fred called, running up the stairs, pulling George with him.
"I hate you." George muttered.
"I know." Fred smiled.
"Hi, Fred. Hi, George." Luna smiled. "What's up?"
"Why are you wearing those shoes?" Fred asked staring at her feet. Luna was wearing pink high top sneakers.
"The Nagles took my uniform shoes." Luna sighed, rocking back on her heels.
"I gotta hit the loo, I'll see you in the common room George." Fred smirked walking off.
"I hate him." George growled.
"What was that?" Luna asked, stepping closer to him.
"Nothing." George said, his heart speeding up.
"Will you walk me to the Ravenclaw tower?" Luna asked.
"Sure." George said, following Luna down the hall.
"I'm a little glad that Fred had to go." Luna said, as they came to a spiral staircase.
"Why's that?" George asked as they walked up the stairs.
"Because I get to spend time with just you. I like you George." She smiled over her shoulder at him.
"I like you too Luna." George said, his heart pounding hard against his rib cage.
They climbed the rest of the stairs in silence.
"So this is the entrance to Ravenclaw house?" George asked when they came to a door with nothing but a brass eagle doorknocker.
Luna nodded and knocked on the door.
"Which came first the phoenix or the flame?" an unseen voice asked,
"A circle has no beginning." Luna said.
The door swung in.
"That's cool." George smiled.
Luna turned and faced George.
"Goodnight George." She smiled.
"…Hey Luna. Before I lose my nerve, will you go out with me?" he asked quickly.
"I'd love that." Luna smiled. "When?"
"Tomorrow is Saturday, we can have a picnic down by the lake." George suggested.
"Then I can cheer you on in the Quidditch game against Slytherin in the afternoon." Luna smiled.
"It's a date." George smiled.
Luna smiled brightly and hugged him.
"Goodnight Luna." He said, heading back down the stairs.
"Did you talk to her?" Fred asked before George was fully in the common room.
"I have a date with her tomorrow before Quidditch." George smiled, pulling his robes off.
"Georgie, I am so proud of you!" Fred yelled, hugging his twin.
"Can't…breath!" George gasped, pushing Fred off him.
The two fell on to the couch laughing.
Author's rant
This is purely because I was bored and talking with one of my friends, pairing the Harry Potter characters up and I thought it would be cute to see George get a girl, and that girl just happened to be Luna. They would make a cute couple, don't you think. Once you forget about the age difference.
I hope you liked the first chapter. Don't forget to review.
Thanks.
