A/N: Here it is!
Disclaimer: Nothing's changed since the last story I wrote.
Chapter 1
Fred Weasley shoved his hands deeper into his pockets as he walked quickly to get to the joke shop he owned with his twin brother George in the heart of Hogsmeade. As he neared the store a happy voice floated toward him. Then he saw a girl a bit younger than him singing and strumming on her guitar right outside the door of the joke shop.
"I dreamed a day like this, when children laugh and play like this, and the sun shine's just for me, and I feel good!" the young woman sang happily, as an older man standing close by looked at her in disgust.
"Make it stop!" he told Fred, trying to put his heavily gloved hands over his ears. Fred payed no attention, however.
"And the sun shine's just for me and I feel good!" the girl repeated, just as happy as before now that she had more of an audience. Fred threw several random coins into her open guitar case and started to enter Weasley Wizard Wheezes.
"A handsome passerby throws me four shiny galleons-" she began, striking up a new, yet happy tune. Fred pauses at the door, then turns around.
"Whoa," he said, and took back his money, with the exception of the several knuts and sickles that he had also thrown in. The girl seemed unperturbed at this. On the contrary, she continued to sing.
"And the sun shine's just for me, and I feel good!" she sang again. Fred walked into the store.
"Close the door! Will you please close it?" George shouted from the counter. Fred smiled.
"Aww, what's the matter bro, a little too perky for you out there this morning?" Fred said teasingly. The girl continued singing, just as happy as before as Fred closed it.
"Nobody's come in here. She's scared all the customers away!" George complained. Fred considered this, then decided to be optimistic.
"Well, would you rather have the smelly old guy who used to spit on people?" Fred asked, smiling.
"Yeah! Yeah! Get him. Go get him and get rid of her!" George told him.
"Me? Why me?" Fred asked, feeling like he was getting the harder job.
"Because we're equal partners in this business, and its my turn to be behind the counter today and you have to do what I tell you to do," George said proudly, loving being in charge. Fred considered this.
"Well, as long as I know the rules," Fred said, and with that, he turned around and left the store to talk to the girl.
"Feel the warmth. Can you feel it? Can you feel it, it's warm? It's warm and I feel good!" The girl sang cheerfully, giving an aura that no black cloud could ruin her day. Fred bent down to speak to her.
"Excuse me, miss, I'm really sorry, but could you just..." Fred began solidly, but suddenly, the girl (Luna Lovegood, who had recently taken up a new interest in music) looked into his eyes, and it hit Fred how pretty she was. She continued singing.
"And the sun shine's just for me..." she repeated, again, not losing any of her pleasantness.
"...And I feel good," she sang, and Fred joined in as he dropped the rest of his money into her guitar case. He turned to reenter the store wearing a dazed, yet happy expression.
"So it's done?" George asked, eyeing Fred suspiciously.
"Ahh, of course it's not done, I mean, don't you know me at all? Why would you send me to do something like that?" Fred asked him.
"She smiled at you?" George said, beginning to smile at the situation himself.
"Ghey-Hea!" Fred said as what he thought was an acceptable answer. Luckily, George understood.
"All right, look. Take her to lunch and ask her to take her act further down the road. Can you handle that?" George asked seriously.
"Ha! Can I handle that? Yeah, I can handle that or fail to do so. But I'm going to need some money, so, can you give me some, cause I gave her all of mine." Fred said, as George pulled out his wallet.
