Chapter One
The Exquisite Woman:
It
was a wonderful day! The best day of his life! He couldn't believe
his luck! This was even better than getting the money from Harry to
open up the joke shop he shared with his brother. This was better
than all the pranks they had pulled at Hogwarts. He was on cloud nine
and nothing would burst his bubble nothing except... His brother was
in love with her too.
It happened on one summer day. Fred
and George were both working at their joke shop. When the most
beautiful woman in the world walked in. Fred fell in love with just
one look at her. He knew he wanted to get to know her better. He
wasn't alone though George was having the exact same thoughts.
"Hello, can one of you gentleman help me?" asked
the woman. Her name was Jenna. She was tall and thin and had hazel
eyes and strawberry blonde hair. She looked exquisite.
Both
of the boys ran out from behind the counter and offered their
services.
"Hi, I'm Fred and this is my brother George
and we are the proud owners of this fine establishment. I can help
you fined what ever it is you need." Fred bowed to the woman.
She smiled at the boys and gave a little laugh. "I'm
looking for some thing to give my nephew who is turning five. He is
quit the little monster and I thought if I got him some thing good,
that might just teach him a lesson on playing tricks he might
straighten out a little bit. And by the way you can call me Jenna."
she said with a smile.
Both the boys looked a little a
shame, for they new two five year olds who had acted like little
monsters.
"Here let me show you around and if you have
any questions you can just ask Me." said George pushing Fred out
of the way.
"Thank you, that would be very helpful."
Fred was so mad at George, he couldn't believe his own
brother would do that to him. Didn't George realize how much I like
this girl, he thought?
As George and Jenna walked around the
store chit chatting, Fred became madder and madder. He hated the way
his brother kept looking at smiling at Jenna. He hated it even more
when she smiled back at him.
After walking around the shop
and chatting with George, Jenna looked at her watch. She couldn't
believe the time. "I'm sorry, I have to go. I need to meet my
parents for dinner at the Three Broom Sticks. I guess I'll need to
come back later for my nephew's present."
Jenna walked
out of the store.
George looked at Fred with a smile on his
face. She said she would be back.
Fred could see the dreamy
look in his brother's eyes and Fred didn't like it.
After
they closed the shop for the night, Fred decided he didn't want to go
to the apartment he shared with his brother, but he didn't know where
he would tell George where he was going. Up till now they had all
ways done every thing together. Tonight was different, tonight Fred
just wanted to be alone.
"So are you ready to go home?"
asked George.
"Not yet. I think I'll go out for a walk
for awhile." said Fred
"That sounds like a good
idea. I'll join you."
"I would rather you didn't."
"What? You want me to leave you alone?" George
asked in disbelieve. He couldn't understand why his brother wanted to
be alone. They had never been apart. They did every thing together,
but after looking at his brother's face he knew not to push the
issue even if he didn't understand it.
"Yea, I just
need some time to myself and think. I won't be gone to long. I'll
meet you at home in an hour or so."
"Ok. See you
later then." George said, feeling worried about his brothers
actions, but he went on home just the same. He Knew he would wait and
talked to Fred when he got home!
