It was the end of August, and Fred found himself waiting for the next day to come, so he could start his fourth year at Hogwarts. He was running around the castle he lived in, trying to finish packing, before Dotty, his personal house elf, tried to pack for him. Being one of the princes, he was given a house elf, though he didn't want to make it do everything for him.
For some reason, Fred felt that tomorrow would be a special day. He couldn't think of any reason why, but it was nagging him. But he figured he could just figure out what was going on tomorrow, rather than think about it too much.
The next day came and Fred noticed a person he had seen before, but he couldn't figure out where from. She had blonde hair, and she had wide eyes that made her seem a little comical, but he knew he had seen her before.
The girl was called up to the front, where she was sorted into Ravenclaw. It wasn't until dinner was over did he get the chance to talk to her.
"I have seen you before. But I can't remember when."
"Well, I have lived here all my life, Weasley."
"How do you know my name?"
"Like I said, I have lived here my whole life. I watched Bill and Charlie pass through and graduate. I was here when Percy started. And when you and your twin started. I saw Ron start last year, and now that your sister is here, I have watched you all start. Now, which one are you?"
"Fred."
"I am Luna. But I need to get to bed before it gets too late, or before I get caught out past curfew."
"Why have you lived here your whole life?"
"My guardians don't really say. They just say the time isn't right and that I will know when I am older. I trust them, so I will wait till I am older before they tell me."
Fred was surprised that someone this young could be so patient. He was three years older, and he was still learning the art of patience. But he had to remember that not everyone was like him.
"So, want me to walk you up to the Ravenclaw Common room? I mean, you probably already know where it is…but you know…it might give you security from the older year boys, like all the Slytherins."
"And the Nargles."
"What's a Nargle?"
Luna just looked at him strangely, before looking around at the castle. "Normally, I would say no, because I know my way around the castle already, but since you asked so nicely, I will allow you to walk me up. But just know that you better not try to break into the tower and prank me or the others."
"I would never prank you or the other Ravenclaws, unless I find that they really deserve it."
"Alright, fair enough." They walked a little bit in silence, before Luna spoke up. "Tell me about your family, Fred."
"Well, there's my parents. My father loves anything muggle, and my mother is very protective of us."
"As a true mother should be of their children. Tell me about your siblings."
"Well, my oldest two brothers, Bill and Charlie, have left. Bill went to Egypt to become a curse breaker, and Charlie left to Romania, to work with dragons."
"That sounds…kind of dangerous."
"It is, but we know Charlie knows what he is doing."
"What about the rest of them?"
"Well, Percy is the biggest on rules. He is a prefect, and will be head boy, but he is the most uptight kid ever when it comes to rules."
"So I have a feeling he gets pranked quite a bit?"
"Yes. Him and Ron."
"So what about George?"
"He is basically my other half. He and I do basically everything together, except when I feel like walking young girls to their dormitories."
Luna giggle slightly, before, "And Ron and Ginny?"
"Ron is our little brother, so we prank him, to help him kind of…grow up a little. And Ginny is just as fierce as our mother, even for a little eleven year old."
Luna nodded in understanding, feeling a bit jealous.
"What about you, Luna?"
"I don't know anything about my family. I have literally lived here just about all my life, so I don't know my parents or any siblings I might have."
"I'm sorry Luna."
"It's fine. Like I said, I know there is a reason I live here, and I know I will find it out someday." They reached the Ravenclaw Common Room entrance, and Luna turned around, smiling. "Thanks, Fred."
"Hey it's no problem."
They hugged, and Fred waited until she was in, before he left to go to his dorm room. He knew that life at Hogwarts would be more interesting now.
