After a couple hours, George and Luna finally got up to go open the shop. The same women that had come to pick up the package just the day before came in.
"Hello again Ms. Ritersworth," Luna smiled.
"And hello to you Ms. Lovegood," the woman smiled.
"How do you know my name?" Luna asked, she hadn't remembered introducing herself.
After a quick pause the woman exclaimed, "Everyone knows you! You're Luna Lovegood. You went on some adventures with Harry Potter. How could I not know you?"
The woman giggled and patted Luna's shoulder. Luna found the whole thing a little odd, but George went right on with the business. George didn't seem the slightest bit puzzled; Luna figured she was just overreacting. Sometimes she did that when she was stressed. For the next twenty minutes, Ms. Opal Ritersworth decided on a gift for her nephew. It wasn't until she left that Luna felt her stomach knot. Once again, Ms. Ritersworth pulled out a muggle cell phone to talk to a man named Henry. That wasn't quite what made her sick, it was when she heard the woman say, "Yes, she is here at the shop.....I'm positive she is the one......Yes, I love you too." Luna was the only other she there. Where was George. Luna looked frantically around, her eyes meeting Ms. Ritersworth's. Luna's breath quickened. The woman smiled, not a sweet smile, but the forced kind.
The woman resembled the one she found with Henry. Of course, she hadn't seen her face. Then again, Henry wasn't a wizard, was he? It was too much for Luna to handle. She felt nauseas, dizzy, and clammy. One second her mind racing, the next, everything went black.
oOoOoOoOo
"Luna?"
Luna opened her eyes. George was standing above her. He looked worried. What the hell just happened? Maybe Opal Ritersworth tried to kill her. Or erase her memory. Or something else evil.
"Bloody hell, Luna! You had me scared to death. I'm walking out of the back and you fainted. Luckily, Ms. Ritersworth was here to help," George said relieved to have Luna back. Luna on the other hand shot up.
"Where is she," Luna screamed, accidentally, at George.
George was taken aback. Luna seemed so scared...of...Opal Ritersworth?
"She left. She said she had to meet someone. Out in the muggle world, actually. Isn't that strange?" George was saying.
Luna stopped listening. She could barely comprehend what he just said.
"That evil bitch," Luna said. She thought she was saying it in her head, but somehow, she said it out loud.
Again George looked slightly shocked. "Luna, what is wrong with you?" he asked.
"George! She's evil! She knows Henry. She's with him. She has to be. I don't know why, but she comes to the shop because of me. I know it. Trust me," Luna pleaded.
"Sweetheart, maybe you're hallucinating. Or something," George trailed off.
"I'm not hallucinating!" Luna yelled. Then she started crying. She had no idea what was going on. She was scared, then furious, then sad She couldn't control her emotions. Next, Luna threw up. George started to panic. Luna must be really sick, he thought. Not knowing what else to do. George took Luna to the hospital.
oOoOoOoOo
George waited anxiously in the waiting room. He hadn't heard anything about Luna yet. Finally, a nurse came out.
"Sir, your wife would like you to see you in the room," the woman smiled. George was about to correct her, Luna was his girlfriend, not his wife, but the nurse pointed to the room and walked away. Giving George no time for corrections.
George walked into the room. Luna was smiling, but he noticed she had been crying. The thought of Luna crying gave George the worst feeling. It hurt his heart. Just like when Fred died. It was the hardest thing for him. He rushed over too her and kissed her gently.
"Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?" George asked frantically.
Luna giggled, "I'm fantastic," she paused and grabbed George's hands, "I'm not sure how to tell you this George...but first I need you to know I love you and-"
"I love you too. I'd do anything for you!" George exclaimed, cutting Luna off. That is when he realized how true it was. He would do anything for Luna. He loved her so much.
Luna was about to speak, but, again, George cut her off and blurted, "Luna Lovegood, will you marry me?"
Luna blinked, George's heart was pounding, "Of course I'll marry you. But before, or if, you marry me George. You should know. I'm pregnant."
"Excuse me?" George asked, trying to look calm, all it did was make him look constipated.
"I'm pregnant." Luna said slowly.
"With what?"
"A baby George. Is it that hard to believe that I, Luna Lovegood, am pregnant?" Luna asked, very agitated.
" No," George paused, "Is it mine?"
Luna looked alarmed, "Yes. Who else's child would it be?"
"Dumb question. I just, I just have no idea what I'm doing. I mean, everyone has babies, but not me. Well, I do now. Not yet, actually. Merlin's sweaty arse! I need to sit down," George said pacing back and forth, until he finally sat down next to Luna.
"George, we can do this. I've always wanted a child. We can raise a baby," Luna said as the nurse came back in.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but its babies," the woman smiled.
George turned, "What was that again?"
The woman walked up to them, "It's babies; Plural. Congratulations! You're having quadruplets!"
"As in four babies at one time?" Luna asked.
"Yes ma'am!" The woman exclaimed. Luna's mouth flew open, the color drained from George's face. Neither knew exactly what to say. Four babies. It was exciting, but frightening.
This time, it was George that fainted.
