*Hands in his pockets, George Weasley strolls down one of the lanes in Hogsmeade- more like strutts around- occasionally smiling and nodding at random passerbys. He left his twin, Fred, back at their shop in Diagon Alley under the pretense of taking his break for the day. Well, he wasn't lying, but he didn't just go back up to their flat either. Instead, he Apparated to Hogsmeade, hoping to check out the new Zonko's items.*
*Now, after leaving Zonko's, only about a thousand new ideas are rolling around in this Weasley's brilliant mind, and he can't wait to start working on a few new inventions. He shivers, winking mischeviously to a passing witch.*
Fred's going to be positively miffed, but he can deal with everything on his own for a while.

Roslyn had planned the day, intending to spoil herself a bit. Perhaps go shopping for some sweets, then clothes. After a rather long day at the shop, she figured it was well earned. However after arriving home, and finding her Grandmothers owl- her current plans were put on hold, learning the elder woman was slightly ill. Roslyn was naturally soft at heart, but when it came to family she also worried quite easily. Elder folks immune system weren't as strong, and her grandparents were all she had.
*Having picked a few roses form her garden, Roslyn carefully wrapped them, and was now on her way to her Grandparents- along with some homemade soup* She sincerely hoped everything would turn out fine. *So wrapped up in her worried thoughts, Roslyn paid no mind to anyone else*

*Blinks, smoothly changing direction. Turning on one heel, he began to follow the witch who didn't even glance in his general direction as she passed- which was not acceptable. Gravel and snow crunching under his shoes, he had a sudden urge to start some sort of conversation with her, and neither of the twins are really capable of denying their urges.*
Hullo, Miss! What's a lovely witch like yourself doing, walking around Hogsmeade with such a cheerful expression?
*Grins cheekily, knowing her expression is anything but cheery. He quirks one ginger eyebrow at the roses the witch is carrying, but doesn't comment.*

*Surprised at the sudden voice pulling her from her thoughts, Roslyn turned to glance in it's direction- all the more surprised to see a Weasley.* It was obvious, just by the Red hair alone. All the Weasley children had that same trait. "Fred? Or is it George, I'm speaking with?" She never could tell the twins apart, but Roslyn recognized the ginger wizard from her days at Hogwarts. One of the few faces, that actually stood out to her. But of course, the twins made an impression on everyone.
"I don't know about cheerful. But I'm in the process of tending to a sick relative, notice the flowers." Roslyn normally would've ignored anyone else, save for Neville perhaps. Her family was more important. But she'd always been rather fond of the twins, despite not knowing them personally. They were nice enough even with their mischievous nature. “What are you doing running about? Even I know, you have a shop to be minding.” *Smiling sweetly, Roslyn shifted her feet slightly. Worry for her Grandmother, still not far from her mind.*

*Wincing theatrically, he places one hand over his heart as if he's been gravely wounded.*
Oh, depends on which one you'd rather have chat you up.
*Doesn't care too much that the witch knows both his and Fred's names, since not only are they Weasleys, but also the ones who created the most havoc each and every school year. He smiles softly, not knowing enough about the witch to reassure her about her sick relative.*
So that's what they're for, the flowers.
*When she mentions the shop, his smile grows wider, and the glint in his eyes becomes slightly more mischevious than it was before. He shrugs, sliding the hand that was over his heart through his ginger hair, then back into his pocket.*
Everyone knows I have a shop to be running! Merlin, that makes me proud.
*Pulls on a bright, cheesy smile for a second or two, happy that this seemingly nice witch is familiar with his and Fred's shop.*
Bah, I'm takin' my break. Gettin' a bit busy there-
*His eyes light up, and he glances down at the witch.*
-have you heard about our Canary Creams? Actually, we pulled 'em off the shelves for a short time, but oh, ha! A little wizard, wee lil one, got a hold of a cream or two and ate them, right there in the shop!
*Laughs loudly, not caring that a few other shoppers have turned to look at him, most likely wondering if he's more than slightly mad. The image of the younger wizard flapping around the shop is too funny to ignore, and he shakes his head, hoping Fred didn't forget to change the poor bloke back if the cream didn't wear off on it's own.*

*Fred's energy was contagious, and Roslyn found herself giggling. Her mood considerably lighter already.* The Weasley twins had always been very charismatic, from what she could remember. It was good to see some things never changed. "You two must be really happy, doing what you've always wanted." Fred seemed to be in a good place, in life. And she was happy for him, despite not knowing him well.
"You know if I ever get the chance, I think I'll come by the shop. Haven't been since I graduated from Hogwarts, it'll be nice visiting." A thought then occurred to her. "My Gran, would really love some of the things in there. Laughter is good for the soul."

*Nods enthusiastically.*
Yeah, we're quite more than 'happy' with how things are going. It's perfect for us, y'know?
*Beams down at the witch, wondering if she knows which twin she's talking to. Sometimes, for entertainment, he and Fred would go around saying they're the other twin, and obviously the one who thought of the most wicked plan won.*
You haven't been since when?!
*Eyes widen, and he theatrically pulls his hands out from his pockets before placing them on his hips, imitating what his mother would do when scolding him and Fred.*
Laughter is delightful for the soul, it's an absolute requirement! You could drop by anytime you like actually, we're not some posh place where you have to owl ahead of time.
*Rolls his eyes, remembering a certain situation when something like that happened.*
Fred and I would be deeply honoured to have such a lovely witch visit our shop again! But, er, you might want one of us to help you pick out something for your Gran. That way she doesn't get a skiving box on accident!

*Her eyes lit with Amusement, Roslyn offered a bright smile* "Will do. I must get going, as my gran can be quite impatient even while sick. But please, feel free to stop by Flourish and Blotts." *Leaning towards him slightly, Roslyn made it seem as if she were sharing a big secret with Fred*
"I could possibly dig up a few books, giving you better prank ideas." *Pulling away, she laughed softly* "Until next time, Mr. Weasley."

*Grins, understanding how feeling ill could make people even more impatient than they usually are. His expression is smug as she leans towards him, and he's thinking she's going to say something like, "George, you've always been my favourite twin!" but alas, is denied. Her offer however makes up for lack of admission and he nods again.*
Flourish and Blotts? Hm, haven't been there in a while, either-
*Bows lowly, chuckling as he sees others looking at him like he's a totall loon.*
-so I guess that makes us even! Until next time, Miss- er...Miss I-never-heard-your-name!
