Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. If I did Fred would still be alive.
A.N. Well here's chapter three, it's sorta short but there wasn't really a lot I could put in this chapter. The characters might seem a little OCC, but this is my first time writing these characters. So bare with me.
On a nice warm clear day in August, Luna found her self wondering around the crowded alleys of Diagon Alley. The wasn't especially crowded, but there is a far amount of people wondering around. All the shops are brightly decorated and the people are happy and smiling. Above her the sky was clear and below her the paved walkway she walks is free of litter. Which Luna thought was rather nice to walk on a clean road. As she walked she watched the other people more then she watched the path that was walking. She finds it interesting to study all the different people in the crowded alleys. Some people wear bright colors, while others wear dark colors, like they are in mourning. Which Luna understands, since most people lost someone in the war.
She also thinks that it is fun to observe the interactions between people. People would sometimes seem so happy to see one again, sometimes when some people talked, they seem that they can't get away fast enough. She finds that sad, because you never know how much time you have with someone. So you have to cherish every minute you have with that person.
However, today Luna doesn't have that much time to watch people. Today she is looking for a job. She's been so bored lately and she could use the money. Since her house was destroyed by Death Eaters. She had to repair it and that depleted her funds greatly. So now she is on a quest to find a job, and it has proven difficult. For one thing people don't seem to be hiring, and she is not most normal person in the world.
She tried first at the pet store but they weren't hiring, she then tried the book store , but that didn't work well. Let's just say that it was too quiet for her. The last place Luna tried was the potion shop, but the smell was so bad that she wanted to vomit. So after a long morning of job searching she was kinda tired and a little disappointed. She walked around with her head bowed and not really paying attention to where she was going. So she had no idea that she found her way to Weasley Wizards Wheezes.
George was up in a window fixing one of his many colorful displays when he sow her walking by. Actually, he wouldn't have even noticed her if it wasn't for the pink sunflower in her hair. She was attracting a lot of looks from people walking by. She didn't even seem to notice them, since she was looking at the ground. He watched her for a second and could see that she isn't in a very good mood. Not being able to stand someone being down, George called to her from the open window.
"Luna!" She jumped and looked around but then not seeing anyone that looked like they were looking for her. She started walking again. "Luna! Luna up here!" She stops again and looks up at him, she smiles brightly up at him.
"Oh! Hello George. I didn't see you up there." she says in her usual dreamy voice. "Having a nice day?"
"It hasn't been too bad." He says laughing a little. "How about you? Everything okay?" He watched her expression closely, but nothing changed. It just stayed the same dreamy expression.
"Yeah, everything is exceptionally normal. I'm just out looking for a job."She looks up him and smiles but then she frowns. "It's not going very well I'm afraid."
"That's to bad. Not very many people are hiring right now it seems." He says to her. "What kind of job are you looking for?"
She thinks for a second and shrugs. "I don't really know. Any thing I guess."
He thinks for a couple of minutes, then he says, "Did you try the book store?" She nods. "The pet store?" Luna nods again. "How about the potion shop?"
"I tried all of them. Nobody wants me it seems." Luna says sadly. George frowns down at her. 'Why is she being so negative today? She use to be so positive all the time.' He shakes his head and smiles, seeing Lee hang a poster in the window. 'I can't believe I forgot that we are looking for people!'
"I think that I might be able to help you." He smiles brightly down at her. She gives him a confused expression.
"Really? How are you going to do that?"
"Oh you'll see. Why don't you come into the shop and so we can talked."
Once again Luna gives him a confused expression. "But we are talking." George chuckles to him self.
"What I mean is, that we can talk with out having people giving us dirty looks." He laughs again as an old lady with a funny hat give Luna that dirtiest look yet.
"Why would that do that?"
"Your kinda standing in the middle of the alley." Luna eyes grow wide and George thinks he sees a blush.
"Well then I should come in.I don't want people being mad at me." She then walks toward the door and walks in. She amazed at all the bright colors and the amount of people wondering around the shop. The shop is filled with shelf upon shelf of jokes and all kinds of fun things. There's love potions and potions to change the color of your skin, and many more crazy things. The line at the cashregister is so long that its all most out the door, there's laughing children and parents that are trying to control their screaming children. Luna laughs,'There's no way that you could be sad here.'
George gets down out of the window and stands next to Luna looking down at her and watching as she looks around in wonder. He takes her elbow and leads her to the back of shop into the office. He gently sits her down in one of the chairs in front of his desk and; he sits in front of her on the edge of the desk. He smiles at her and she gives him a small smile back. He's distracted for a second by her sunflower but then he mentally shakes him self. "So, about your job problem... You see we have an opening here. Are other shop employee wanted to spend more time with her daughter. So she left the other day." He stops and watches Luna light up. "We really need the help. So if you want you can start working here."
"Really? That would be great!" Luna beams at him. George couldn't help but smile back at her. "When can I start?"
"Seeing as it's Friday, can you start Monday?" Luna nods happily. "Well welcome to the job. I hope that you will like it here."
"I think I'm going to love it here!" They go over a couple little details and Luna signs a contract. Then Lee shouts at George to come help him in the front.
"I have to go help now. I'll see you on Monday." George says to her as he leads her out of the office.
"Bye!" Luna so overjoyed with her new job skips out of the shop almost knocking over Ginny in the process. Ginny walks up to George confused.
"What's up with Luna?" Ginny asks.
"Why hello. How are you? Oh I'm good. And..." George says smartly to her.
"Don't get smart with me! I was only wondering." Ginny says. George laughs. Ginny frowns up at her brother. "Really though, what has Luna so happy?"
"She just got a new job."
"Oh! That's good. Where at?"
"Here." George says walking away leaving Ginny staring at his back with her mouth hanging open.
Like last time, I would very much like it if you would review and tell me how I'm doing with Luna and George.
