Strange Encounters
Fred Weasley sat in a secluded corner of the library. He and George had decided to split up their research for their newest invention. It was their final year at Hogwarts, but Umbridge was making their life a living hell. She was much worse than Snape ever could.
He heard a crash and startled yelp on the other side of the bookshelf. Always a Gryffindor, Fred leapt up from the table and went to see what had happened before Madame Pince came over.
Fred had his wand at the ready and carefully peaked around the corner. He lowered his wand. Luna Lovegood was standing with her back to the wall and her wand was raised as if to fend off an attacker.
"You all right?" asked Fred. He didn't know Luna. He had only had a few conversations with the witch. She was a Ravenclaw Ginny's age and most people made fun of her.
"Is it still there?" Her eyes were still wide in fright.
"What?" asked Fred; you never could be sure about what was lurking around the halls.
"I don't know what it was," she said pointing to the spot right in front of Fred, "but it was right there."
"I don't see anything."
"I just appeared and then disappeared."
"What did it look like?"
"Like a big fly," she told him, "it was purple with green wings. And it had teeth."
Suddenly Fred felt something fly past him flinched away as it nipped at his leg.
"What the hell," he said brushing at his leg.
"You felt it too," asked Luna. She knew that most people thought she was nuts. Just because she believed in things that no one had yet proven. This didn't mean that she was wrong.
"Yeah," said Fred Honestly, "Lets get out of here."
"Ok," she said grabbing her bag. She twisted her fingers nervously playing with her new gum wrapper bracelet. "Could you walk me to the Ravenclaw common room?"
Fred felt proud that someone would ask him for help. His chest puffed out, "Sure."
They walked the well-known path to Luna's common room in a pleasant silence. Just outside the common room Luna paused and turned to Fred. Standing on her tiptoes she pressed a kiss to his cheek.
"Thank you Fred."
"You're welcome," he said as she disappeared. He didn't remember telling her that he was Fred, not George.
"Hey Fred," George said running up to his twin. "What were you doing with Looney Lovegood?"
"Had a strange encounter in the library," he said as they headed to their own common room, "and don't call her Looney."
