To The Moon And Back

Chapter 6

The weather was miserable so I secretly hoped that the cafe would be quiet and everyone would want to stay at home. I was wrong. After 3pm it got really busy. Butterbeers being ordered left, right and centre. Some people were ordering shots of firewhisky at 5pm which I found really strange. It soon hit 7pm and the cafe was quiet. Just a few people were left which I was grateful for considering we close in an hour. I made myself a honeycomb cappuccino and started some homework. Dumbledore agreed to let me work this job if I was staying on top of my studies as well.

The bell above the door of the cafe rang and I looked up to see familiar faces enter. Fred and George Weasley along with Angelina and a few other friends. I rolled my eyes while closing my book and taking one last sip of my coffee. I slipped my apron back on and grabbed my pen and pad. Making my way to their table, I noticed Fred's eyes on me the whole time. I raised my eyebrow and it shook him out of whatever deep thought he was trapped in.

"You guys ready to order?" I asked.

"Yeah, we'll get 6 butter beers please, Sage." The ginger twin, George Weasley replied with.

I smiled, "Sure, anything else?"

"That will be all, Rivers." Fred said suddenly. I looked at him and saw those big golden eyes staring back into mine.

I made their order and took it to their table, making sure I don't drop anything otherwise Fred would never let me hear the end of it.

"Thanks, Sage." George said. He winked at me and I found myself smiling at him back. George had always been nice to me from the beginning. I couldn't say the same about his twin, Fred. He was sure to make my life hell the second he found out I was close to Cedric. Hermione used to pull my leg and say he was jealous and that's why he's so hateful towards me but I refused to believe it. And I still do. Fred Weasley? Jealous? It just doesn't make any sense.

Slowly the cafe emptied out and I wished Bea was with me this shift but Sean didn't let her seen as we weren't busy up until three in the afternoon. I stayed in my seat studying after all tables cleared out. The only table left was the Weasley's. Why the fuck weren't they leaving. Soon enough, people from their table cleared out and it was just Fred and George left.

George got up soon to come to the counter and pay for their drinks.

"Here you are, doll. Threw in a tip for you as well. Appreciate you staying open until we were finished." He winked at me and handed me the tip as I cashed their money in.

"It's no problem, Georgie. You are more than welcome to come here. If gave me time to study anyways." I smiled back.

"I really need to piss tho," he laughed. "Point me to the restroom?"

"Sure it's just behind the wall there." I pointed in the direction of the toilet and he nodded, making his way over there.

I grabbed my hair tie and put my hair in a pony, grabbing a tray to collect the empty dishes from their table. What I didn't notice was Fred Weasleys eyes piercing into my back during the conversation with George.

I grabbed some dishes but a strong grip on my wrist stopped me.

"I don't appreciate you flirting with my twin brother, Rivers." He growled.

"If you call that flirting, Weasley I feel sorry for any girl you tried to get with. He was just being polite and thanking me. Something you should be doing as well." I freed my wrist from his grip and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Oh really? I saw the way you were looking at him. Cedric left you for that Chang girl and now you run to the first male who gives u 10 seconds worth their attention." He sneered.
