Strange Encounters
Chapter 2
Fred looked at the blond witch sitting one table over. He and George were supposedly writing potions papers. Fred glanced down at his paper, he had been there for almost an hour and so far only had his name written on the parchment.
"Maybe if you quit staring at Lovegood, you might get it done," hissed George. Fred glanced over; his brother only had a few inches left.
"I am not."
"Yeah, sure," George said with a grin putting the finishing touches on his essay, "Snape had better like this."
"I'm sure you'll do fine, you always do, much to Snape's frustration."
"Of course I will," George smirked, "I'll go and leave you to you staring at Luna."
"Get out of here," he said throwing paper at his twin. He waited until his brother disappeared before gathering his things and heading one table over. He paused before dropping his bag, waiting to see if she noticed, she didn't, "Hey Luna."
"Hi Fred," she said looking up and giving him a brilliant smile, "what are you doing here?"
"I was trying to write a potions essay," he said sitting across from her.
"Really me too," she said, "it's on shrinking potions."
"My favorite," Fred grinned waggling his eyebrows, "you can do so much with them."
Luna giggled and Fred really liked the sound. He knew that his essay wasn't going to get written in the library that night.
"See any of those flies lately?"
"No," she said, "but I am certain that they are still here. I wouldn't be surprised if Hogwarts has a colony."
"Do you know what they are?"
"I can't find them, maybe I will ask Professor Dumbledore."
"I'll help you look," Fred said. He smiled when she finished her essay, "want me to walk you back to the common room."
"That would be fantastic, Fred."
