Chapter 5:
"What is so funny?" Allison asked the two boys.
"Oh my God!" Harry said rolling on the floor he was laughing so hard.
"C'mon, fess up," George said, "What did you do to Draco that made him come in here?"
"Didn't you hear her?" Ron asked, "Draco was being a blonde-brat, so we decided that he should have a nice shade of blue to match his arrogant personality."
"Arrogant? Shade?" Fred raised his eyebrows.
"You've been hanging out with Granger too much." George commented.
"She is my girlfriend," Ron said, "So what're you doing here?"
"Me?" Allison asked, he nodded, "I work here."
"Here? As in here?" Harry said.
"Where else is here?" I asked.
"… HA- HA- HA- HA!" the two boys burst out laughing.
"Will you two shut up? You sound the girls in my dorm around Valentine's Day! Annoying!" Allison said annoyed.
"It's not our fault you work here!" Ron said.
"Exactly, so stop laughing." Allison said to Harry.
"I'm sorry, it's just… why here?" Harry asked trying to re-compose himself.
"Because she's madly in love with us!" Fred teased.
"I didn't come to work here just to be harassed." Allison muttered as the door jingled and a girl walked in. Luna Lovegood.
"Hello, deary," Allison said to her other friend, "How's the mermaid family reunion coming?"
"Eh?" she asked looking up from her magazine, "It's coming fine, thanks."
"Cool."
"Do you work here now?" she asked looking at Harry for a few seconds.
"Actually, yeah." She answered.
"Wow…" Luna said, "I never thought I'd see the day you'd be working with Weasleys…"
"Huh?"
"You're so serious… they're-"
"We're different!" Fred and George chorused.
"Exactly." Luna said, "But anyway, I'll have three vampire pops and two troll gummies."
"Erm… I don't have the key for that cabinet…" Allison said surprised at Luna's request when Fred pointed out the cabinet it was in.
"We do!" Fred said, "Here," and he handed Allison a key.
Allison walked over and opened a darkened cabinet. When she slid the glass away a hiss escaped and she jumped.
"Don't worry," George told her, "It's just the silly string."
"What the hell kind of silly string is that?!" she exclaimed as a snake dropped to the floor and slithered for a few feet and turned into a brightly colored string.
"The Weasley kind." Fred told her.
"You see, you spray it and the string turns into snakes and then they just 'poof!' vanish and turn back into silly string." George explained.
"Sells great around October." Fred added.
"That's next month…" Allison realized.
"So's Halloween." Harry said.
"Duh! If we say it sells well in October, that means it sells well for Halloween you dunce!" Fred sighed hitting him upside the head.
"Right… I knew that." He said smiling sheepishly.
Luna giggled and bought her things, then left.
"So… that's two customers so far, and you still don't have a name tag." Fred told Allison.
"I don't need one… do I?" he asked.
"If you want to look the part." George told her.
"And we have just the thing for you!" Fred said smiling.
"Oh goody…" Allison said as they dragged her to the back room.

"There!" Fred declared, "You're all pretty!"
Allison glared at him, 'Why am I working here again?'
"Good, now go out there and sell!" George said pushing her out the door.
Allison now had on a tag that shined and glimmered and literally screamed, "I work here; so ask me a question!" She sat on a stool and waited until kids were heading back to ask them if she could go.
"Sure, but you have to come straight here next week," Fred told her.
"Yeah no slackers!" George added.
"That's real convincing coming from you guys." She commented, "See you next week!"
Allison had to run the whole way back before Filch closed the door to the castle.
