Disclaimer: Still not mine, only Julia,

The girl on the other side

"Oi George!" Fred's voice called "help me with this box, will you,"

"Yeah, sure," George said, not paying any attention to what Fred had just said.

His attention was pointed towards a girl who stood by a counter in the shop on the other side of the street.

He could see that she was holding a quill in her hand, but she didn't write anything with it, she just kept looking down at the counter.

He knew what she was doing, she was crying, thinking about what she had lost in her life, worrying about what would come in the future.

He had seen her like this many times over the past few weeks and it pained him to see her so sad, to see her so hurt.

He wished that he could go over to her and take her in his arms and tell her that everything was going to be all right, but he knew he couldn't, what wouldn't she think if he did that? Properly that he was going completely mental.

She looked up, and he saw her tearstained face, Why dose all this have to happen to you? You've always been an angle, always been happy and sweet, there is no one in the world that has a more beautiful soul than you, but still it is you who have to feel the most pain, he thought while he still kept looking at her.

It looked like she was looking at the sign over Fred and George's shop, and he saw her smile a bit and she wiped the tears of her cheek with her hand.

He remembered when Fred and him had gotten a letter from her were she told them that they could buy this shop, he had been so excided, mostly because she was living on the other side of the street and that meant that he would be able to see her every day, of course he didn't tell anyone that, and especially not Fred.

Fred would just tease him with it, and he didn't want that.

He kept his gaze at her and he started to think about how truly beautiful she was, of course he always thought about that when he was looking at her.

But now even though she had been crying just a moment before and her eyes were red and her skin pale, she still looked as beautiful as always.

She looked inside the shop and George caught her eyes right away, she smiled at him, and he felt his face going red, she had just caught him starring at her, what if she knew that he had been looking at her all the time? No, she wouldn't have known, would she?

He smiled nervously at her when Fred decided to open his mouth "Starring at her again, are you George?"

He quickly looked away, turning even redder, "No I.. Eerm.. Think she's got a new sign.. eer... outside her shop.." he mumbled.

Fred started laughing "George, man, you think you can hide something like that from me? It's so obvious, you stare at her all the time man," Fred placed a hand on George's shoulder "and besides I'm your twin for Merlin's sake. I know everything that is going on inside your head" he said as he started poking George's head,

"Stop it!" George said and pushed Fred away roughly and Fred fell to the floor.

"Wow, take it easy mate, I'm just messing with you" Fred said from the floor looking at his brother with chock "I'm sorry, I didn't know that you liked her that much, really, I'm sorry",

George sighed and looked down at Fred, still mad at him, but he stretched his hand out to help Fred get up from the floor.

"Thanks mate,"

"I'm still mad at you, you know"

"George man, I'm sorry, but you know, you could have told me"

"Why? So you could make fun of me?" he half shouted "Like we've made fun of Ron and Hermione? It's funny with them because they both like each other!" he stated to shout "This isn't funny 'cause Julia doesn't like me and if she ever finds out how I feel about her then she properly wont talk to me anymore"

"No, I would never make fun of you! Come on George, we're twins, we're best friends, I would never do that to you! And Julia wouldn't stop talking to you if she found out, she's not like that and you know it!"

"Just don't make fun of me"

"I won't George, I promise, cross my heart and all that other stuff"

"and, please, don't tell her, please!"

"Don't tell who what?" a sweet wondering voice came from behind them.

George turned around to look at the person he already knew who was just by hearing the voice.

There, in their door to the shop stood Julia with a sweet smile, "What?" she said as she saw their chocked faces.

Fred and George looked at each other and they knew right a way that they were thinking the same thing, if she had come just a moment before she would have heard.

"Nothing" George said quickly, "right?" he looked at Fred,

"No, nothing at all!" Fred said just as quickly as George had done.

Julia laughed sweetly, "I know you're lying, but don't worry, I won't snoop where my nose isn't wanted", she smiled.

Thank you George thought and smiled back at Julia.

"Aah your beautiful nose is always wanted here Julia," Fred said, and Julia laughed a little, and George started to blush a little but non of the others noticed.
