Ron's POV
I looked out the window to see our car parked at a weird angle halfway in the garage. Everyone started getting out of the car as I walked out. "Do you idiots not know how to park a car?" I said as the kids they went to pick up started getting out of the car. The first guy was about a half inch shorter than me. The next was a girl a lot shorter than me clutching some book called Inkheart. The last one out was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was the same height as the guy who got out of the car first.
"Come on, Twin! Give me my book back! You and Teri have been doing this since freshmen year!" she yelled as the other girl hide behind the guy. I looked at the last girl again. She had long, light brown hair, chocolate brown eyes and a beautiful smile. Wait! What am I thinking?! I don't even know her name! And what does freshmen mean?
She was clutching two other books: Inkspell and Inkdeath with a bookmark sticking out of Inkdeath. She started walking towards me and I knew I blushed when her eyes met mine.
"Can you hold these for a second?" she asked as she handed me the books. And ran towards her friend. She got the book back by a series of random stares that only they and the other guy understood. Inside joke I'm guessing.
"Thanks for holding my books. By the way, I'm Rose Motley. Nice to meet you." She said as she stuck out her tongue for me to shake.
"I'm Ronald Weasley but just call me Ron."
"I should have guessed, but know I'm going to call you Ronald just because you said otherwise." She laughed, "Oh, this is Dusty Flame and my twin sister, May Motley." Rose introduced as she pointed each of them out.
"You know, Twin," May started, "I thought you would be less outgoing and more nervous about meeting a guy just like the one in the books."
"I told you in the car that I was going to be more of my hyper self to everybody at this new school." Rose stated as she stuck her tongue out at her sister. Then they started getting into a fight.
"They're going to kill each other." I said as May punched Rose on the arm.
"They never actually hurt each other. You just watch. In a minute they'll be pointing at each other with death glares on their faces. They might even do their joke." Dusty laughed.
Sure enough, they did exactly what he said. I noticed he was staring at May the whole time. I'll question him later. All of a sudden they yelled, "Push, shove, jump, stab, twinkle fingers! … confusion." I looked at Dusty as he shrugged his shoulders, "They haven't even let me in on it yet."
"Well little brother," George said as he walked up to the four of us, "What do you think of the girls we brought you?"
I blushed as everyone burst out laughing.
"Let's just go." I said grumpily as everyone headed to the car.
"We are going to make this as awkward as possible so…" Fred started as George finished, "Rose sits by Ron in the back with May on the other side of Ron and Dusty next to May."
As we squeezed into the small back seat, Rose and May pulled out two little black things. They pressed a button and turned them on.
"What's that?" I asked as they touched the screen and music blared out of both.
"An iPod touch. Have you never heard of one?" May asked.
"No." I replied as Rose let out a gasp.
"Dude! It's an iPod! How can you not have heard of it?" she said as she explained everything it did while we were flying to Hogwarts. We laughed and talked for about an hour before May's iPod changed songs and Rose clamped her hand over her own mouth.
"Wake up, get out, there's no time to waste now!" May sang as she paused the music and said, "Come on, Twin, sing!" May had a pretty good voice. You wouldn't expect that out of her. Rose shook her head fast as she kept her hand tight over her mouth.
"Ron, Hand me her iPod." May said as I reached for her iPod.
"Give her the iPod and you will die of…" Rose started as May and Dusty finished with, "a scarab infestation. You've used that one today at school. Just give me the iPod." I handed it over.
"Twin, what are you going to do?" Rose asked nervously eyeing her sister.
"I'm gong to play a certain song you can't listen to without singing along. Come on, Twin! You haven't sang since you got over that cold!"
"No! I suck at singing." Rose replied with a frown.
"Come on, sing!" I said as the whole car chanted sing.
"Fine, but May has to sing first." She agreed.
"Never mind, no one has to sing." May said as she handed Rose back her iPod.
"Nope, no backing out now." Rose said as she played some song named Come Alive by the Barlow Girls. May sang reluctantly and Dusty commented that she had a great voice. Rose sang next under the condition of the song not playing. She sang No One by Aly and AJ Michalka.
"You have a beautiful voice." I commented as she blushed while still looking at her hands.
Fred's POV
I looked into the rearview mirror to see my little brother NOT blushing. He was talking to a pretty girl and Not blushing!
"What's up with him?" I asked George in a whisper.
"I'm not sure. He's only blushed one time. Can you believe that?" he answered back quietly. We looked at each other and burst out laughing. We knew exactly what was up with Ron. He was getting the slight spark of a crush on Rose.
"I've got an idea." I whispered, "Okay, anyone need to go to the bathroom?" I yelled to the back.
"I don't know! If you pull over and let us out. Maybe we will be able to feel our bladders again!" May yelled back. Rose was laughing the loudest out of all of them.
"Gollee, Rose, you've got the strangest laugh." Ron said and then she hit him.
"What was that for?" he asked rubbing the spot on his arm where she hit him.
"For making fun of my laugh. Now let me out! I've to go to the bathroom." She yelled as we landed. She stumbled out of the car and laughed, "Race you, Twin!" and took off running with May on her heels.
"Are they always like this?" Ron asked Dusty as he stared after Rose.
"Always. And, It looks like you're going to be the second guy in the group so get used to it." Dusty replied.
"You're one of them now, dude" George started as I finished," A friend."
"Cool, now let's see who won." He said as they walked away.
"So, what's your idea?" George asked as soon as they were out of hearing range.
"Next summer, once Ron and Rose know each other better, we set to work to get them together if they can't do it themselves." I replied.
"Why not this summer?"
"Because they won't know each other good enough, but by next summer they will be best friends. Know everything about one another, stuff like that." I stated surely as we waited in the car.
