Together: Chapter Six

"You did what?" George asks Luna, who is standing in front of him shifting nervelessly from foot to foot. She looks up at him with a dreamy expression on her face.

"Well I accidently knocked over a love potion and it- landed on Ron." She tells him looking him in the eyes. "And now he's in love with my book. It wouldn't be so bad if my book didn't bite."

George holds back his laughter has he asks, "And how did you manage to knock over a love potion?"

"I was hanging up nargle protections around the shop when my foot bumped the shelf. Ron just happened to be walking by and it spilled on him." Luna says looking around getting distracted. George ignores the nargle thing and instead asks why she wasn't using her wand to hang the things. "You see, if I was to hang them with magic the charm I put on them wouldn't work. So I have to do it by hand."

Just then Ron comes busting through the office door. He has a goofy expression on his face and is holding a book against his chest. The book is struggling to get out of his grasp and is fighting with him. Ron is bleeding from his lip and has a lot bite marks on his arms. He comes and sits on George's desk and stares out into space. George looks at him and begins to laugh. Luna just looks at the two of them and wonders when she can get her book back. George goes over to the door and his about to exit when he stops and looks back at them.

"I'm going to call Hermione, she can deal with him." He then leaves and goes up stares.

That little incident happened two weeks ago and things have calm down since then. Luna has proved to be a hard worker and the customers seem to like her even though she is a bit strange. She has an habit of talking to the customers about strange creatures and even weirder theories. To every one's surprise Luna has been a lot of fun to have around. George finds it easier to forget about Fred sometimes since Luna started working at the joke shop. It's mostly due in part that you never know what is going to happen when Luna is around.

She seems to always find trouble and then it doesn't even surprise her. She just takes everything in stride, never getting upset or mad. She is always sure to make you laugh,not at her but with the things she does. Ron has even grown to not get mad at her when something happens to him that she couses, it always seems to be Ron that gets in the way.
George is brought out of his thinking by the sound of someone jumping up onto the counter. George looks over and sees that it is Luna sitting on the counter that he is leaning against. It's the slow part of the day and it's Luna's and the other employees lunch breaks. Luna always brings her lunch and sits with George on the counter when he has to watch the shop. It has become their routine.

George smiles at her as she takes out a sandwich from her lunch. Things are quiet as Luna begins to eat, George watches the people walking by the shop through the window. Luna begins to swing her legs back and forth, each foot hitting the wood at different times. George looks over at her again and sees that she is wearing earrings that look like radishes, but he knows that they are actually dirigible plums. She told him the other day when he told her he likes her earrings. She is also wearing jeans and a bright blue shirt with red sneakers. Her hair is down and hanging around her touching the top of the counter.

Luna looks over at George and give him a dreamy smile. She asks him how his day has been."To tell you the truth its been rather uneventful." He tells her and she nods. They continue to watch the people walk by. When George remembers to ask her if she ever got her book back that Ron took.

"No, I have to remind him to bring it tomorrow. He keeps forgetting it." She tells him. George nods.

"What were you using it for?" He asks.

"Oh, I was just reading it. Magical creatures fascinate me." Luna says with a smile. She then begins to tell him about a creature called a Crumpled-Horned Snorkack and how her and her father went searching for them in Sweden a few years ago. "We never found them, but I would like to go and search again."

"That is interesting." George says truly interested. He finds it fun to listen to her talk about these strange creatures even though he doesn't believe in them. "Hey maybe one day you will actually find one of these creatures you are always telling me about." Luna smiles and says maybe one day. They grow quiet again both thinking about their own things.

Their conversations often become silent but never awkward or uncomfortable. They just start to think about their own things and then they have to go back to work. Just when Luna is about to say something to George Ron come through the shop door clutching a book to his chest. George gets a feeling of deja vu as Ron comes up to them.

"Please tell me you are not hear to tell me that you are running off with her book and getting eloped." George says with a gleam in his eye. "What will Mom say when she finds out? What about Hermione? She'll be crushed." George says with mock concern. Ron's ears turn red and he glares at George.

"Here Luna, heres your book." Ron says handing Luna her book and ignoring George. Luna jumps off the counter and thanks Ron and then goes to put the book away. Leaving George smiling at his brother and Ron glaring at him.

"What? I was just joking with you." George says to him.

"Well it wasn't funny." Ron says and them he groans. "I can't believe that I have been under the influence of love potion twice in my life." George just laughs at him.
Later when they are about to close the shop for the day George and Luna are once again by the counter, only this time their both sitting on it. George gets the idea that he wants to go and get a drink at the Leaky Cauldron. So he asks Ron if he wants to go.

"Sorry George. Hermione wants me home early." Ron says and then he waves goodbye and walks out the door. George frowns at the prospect that he's going to have to sit at the bar all alone. Then Luna speaks up.

"I'm not doing anything tonight. I'll go with you if you want." George smiles and jumps off the counter.

"Then we should be going. We want to get there before all the good stools are taken by depressed people trying to drown their worries." George jokes as he leads Luna out off the shop. He locks the door and then leads her down the alley. Luna not understanding says.

"Those poor people." Before they are swallowed by the darkness.
