DISCLAIMER: I cannot wait to see my name in print. That said, do you REALLY think I'm J.K. Rowling?

A/N: THIS IS NOT A SLASH FIC! IT IS PURELY FRIENDSHIP! PLEASE, PEOPLE! If you're looking for slash, go somewhere else. I don't write it.

DEDICATION: To Miss Lilly! :D (A friend of MY very own! Known as Luna-Moonberry-Lovegood on here.)

Let's have a round of Happy Birthday, yeah? *Directs with wand*

*Puff of purple smoke*

No? Okay, maybe not. Happy birthday anyway, Lils! 3

The sun's weak rays grasped through the fog that stifled them. A nine-year-old Luna disappeared into the forest in a picture of innocent, airy beauty. Her long teal-blue skirt tickled her bare ankles and swished over her toes that dug into the soft dirt of the forest floor. The soles of her feet were coated in mud and sap from the textured carpet of pine needles.

She seemed to drift off the ground as she danced her way between the aged trees, her small, fairy-like face tilted to catch the watery sunlight, whose soft glow tumbled down her cheeks and kissed her nose playfully.

She hummed softly, wishing to lure a nymph out of shy hiding.

Behind a pine that ran thick with sap stood another girl - Luna's nymph. A petite girl drowning in a waterfall of fiery curls, her little body tucked into chocolate brown Capri pants and a too-big, knit sweater the color of the sky on a sunny day with a large brown G in its center.

Ginny's small freckled face slipped into an easy smile as she watched the fairy. Luna twirled and swished, not knowing that her nymph was waiting for her to turn around.

Both hoped that maybe the other would be a friend.

Both thought, One of my very own.

A/N: Love it? Hate it? Nothing in particular? Think I'm an annoying, horrible idiot who should take down all my stories and never bother writing again? Let me know! :)

LOTS OF LOVE TO LILLY, WHO IS AS MUCH A SISTER TO ME AS I IMAGINE LUNA IS TO GINNY. :D Happy birthday, and thanks for the dedication.
