Megan Webber woke up by her alarm playing a song by the Weird Sisters. I sat up in bed dreamily. I woke up again from the dream. My dream was about the first time I laid eyes on George Weasely.
I woke up and got ready. I walked down to the Ravenclaw common room to find a bunch of my friends huddled in the corner. I figured they were talking about the Hogsmead trip today. I walked over and asked what was going on.
"We are going to sneak off to Diagon Alley and visit that new joke shop: Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Are you in?" asked Alice, my best friend.
"Aren't you worried about Umbridge catching us? We will seriously be dead or worse expelled is we get caught!" I replied.
"Oh, you worry about everything! Listen Derek has his uncle's invisibility cloak. He just got it yesterday. It's not very good but about 3 people can fit under it. We want to bring 10 so he will apparate two at a time into Diagon Alley and come back for 2 more. Are you in? Please. It will be brilliant!" Alice confirmed.
I couldn't turn my best friend down, we do everything together. "Okay, I am in." I said worried.
After breakfast at the Great Hall, everyone went and got checked in with Professor Filch, the caretaker. Then we got in groups and walked to Hogsmead. The only thing we discussed was sneaking into Diagon Alley.
Once we got there we headed into the less populated Hogs Head and he brought all the boys went with Derek into the secluded bathroom. Ew, we better not have to go into there to apparate. Once he got the boys into Diagon Alley there were only four girls remaining.
"Well you four come with me into the girls bathroom and keep quiet there are people listening." he whispered from under the invisibility cloak.
I couldn't think he was a pervert but I guess that was the only way to get to Diagon Alley. So we walked into the bathroom and once the other girls left it was our turn. We quickly got under the invisibility cloak, turned slightly while thinking of our destinations, and appeared right outside of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
The others were already in their quickly picking out the things they wanted to purchase. We had about 20 minutes before we needed to get back. We walked inside and split up. I wandered up and down the rows looking at everything they had. I stopped in front of a stand labeled WonderWitch Products. I looked at the products. They had love potions, ten-second pimple vanishers, and Pygmy Puffs. I examined one of the love potions wondering if they worked. I bought one not knowing why from a red haired man named Fred. I put the potion in my robe pocket and looked up. Another red haired man appeared beside Fred. They were twins. His name was George. He is gorgeous, I thought. They were twins but I could tell them apart. I don't know why but I think I am in love with him.
"Sneaking away from Hogwarts?" George said, laughing.
"Umm… yeah…. we… er… really wanted… to comeseeyourshop." I stuttered, hopelessly in love.
"Nice, I didn't know we were that popular, eh Fred?" replied George, joking.
"Yes George it seems that way." Fred said, both of them laughing at what seemed like an inside joke.
"What house are you all in, what year?" George asked.
I felt like I was going to faint. His voice was charming. "We are in Ravenclaw, 7th year." I replied, calmed by his voice.
"Well," George said his voice softening like he was speaking only to me, "I hope to see you around some time."
Then the chattering of the 9 people in the store besides myself awoke me from my moment.
After everyone was done we went back to Hogsmead and then to Hogwarts, we didn't get caught. Back in my room I carefully slipped the love potion into my trunk and walked down to dinner in the Great Hall.
I got up and got ready. I left my little house near Diagon Alley and walked to work at Flourish & Blotts. As I walked there I passed Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. I glanced in the window and saw George getting ready to open up the shop. He looked so handsome. I am still in love with him, I thought. It's been a year and he still doesn't know it. We have become good friends over the year. He looked up and waved. I waved back and promised myself that I would stop in to say hello after work. Today would be the day. I have to tell him sometime, I thought. The only problem is I have said that every day I pass this store on my way to work.
