FRED'S ONE MOMENT AT HOGSMEADE

The cold winter air which is blowing from the western side of the Hogsmeade village hit the red haired boy's face as he walked side by side with his twin towards the well-known joke shop there. Shivering lightly, the boy hugged his sweater tighter and began to fasten his pace. He is hoping to increase his body temperature which is somewhat dropping dangerously (at least from the likes of him) and of course to save the agony of wasting time that is intended for observing—and buying—some of the products inside the said establishment.

After a long speech (which can also be considered nagging)from his brother about being 'an overreacting prat' the red headed boy decided to slow down. Ten minutes later, the two sixteen year olds finally reached the shop—which is full of blokes, lads, and lassies as usual—and decided to divide and conquer to buy all the things they want and time.

The cabinet full of records is the first stop for the red headed boy. He is pining for the album made by 'WEIRD SISTERS' for ages now and today is the right time to buy it-not that he doesn't have the right amount of money to buy it before. Actually he has the AMOUNT… it's just that, his annoying big brother is coming home for the holidays (which is quite a shock really) and he couldn't think of any other fun way to annoy that ICCKLE PERCYKINS by playing all of the songs made by the said band every hour of the day knowing how much his sibling hates them.

Smirking to himself, he then rummaged the cabinet to look for the said record. However, much to his disappointment, after for about twenty minutes of plunging at the said wooden appliance the record is already gone.

Groaning, the boy then turns his body around to look around the shop. Maybe the buyer is still there and he could use some of his charm (well he's handsome) to get that back.

With the help of his athletic body (thank you quidditch!), he jogged a little around the shop to look for the culprit when suddenly and abruptly, he caught sight of a very fair maiden which is wrapped in a fairly dark blue jacket just outside the establishment.

The boy stopped in his tracks to look at the said human being. He could feel his cheeks and ears warming up by the sight and also by the reality that he actually had seen this girl around the school for many uncountable times.

During that "many uncountable times" his brain always screamed at his body to move and introduce himself to the girl… but being a stubborn creature as he was, nothing like that happened.

'How about I go now?' he thought while following his gaze at the feminine creature who is currently catching some snowflakes ALONE.

His brain replied . "Of course idiot! You don't have any other time… she's really busy with her friends at school and you are too…GO!"

With all the strength he possesses, the redheaded boy then walked towards the girl. He didn't actually notice that he is trembling until he reached the spot while saying his name and putting out his hand for a handshake.

The girl accepted the gesture and smiled in the most vibrant way making him in the knees.

"I'm Luna" she said.

With that, the boy then started to make small talk to her making not only him delighted but also her who had said that she actually felt rather bored today.

After for about an hour, they already bid their farewells—for the girl needed to study for exams- leaving the redheaded boy alone outside the shop.

In all honesty, he could swore that he could live in that spot forever, however when the thought about the "Weird sisters" record came into his head again and George is already coming out the shop with his purchased goods all he could say was,

"OH CRAP!"
