Angelina heard him before she saw him, his voice floating over all others in the crowded restaurant's dining room. As she followed her mother and sister towards the front door, she resisted the urge to crane her head around and look for the telltale red hair.
...opportune moment to partner with a growing business, she heard Fred say, as clearly as if he was standing right next to her. It had been months since they'd spoken. ...school year coming up, and Hogsmeade's still open to students as far as we know...
Angelina put her hand up to catch the door, and betrayed herself by sneaking a look. There they were, Fred gesturing with his hands, George nodding enthusiastically, and an older wizard that looked overwhelmed by their vibrant energy.
Walking outside, Angelina let the plate glass windows of Diagon Alley act as a barrier between them and looked directly at the table, and as if he felt her gaze, Fred glanced over and into her eyes.
Although she could no longer hear his words, Angelina saw him flush and falter, stammer for an instant before his brother took the reins and continued speaking for them both.
She turned away and hurried to catch up with her family, his voice still ringing in her ears.
