When Our Cars Collide

Dream Driving

Fours years were passing fast; Luna Lovegood and her friends rarely met each other. As far as she knows, Ron and Harry are in their training for being an auror, Hermione was working in the Ministry, pushing Elf rights she were promoting since she was a student in Hogwarts. Ginny was now a celebrated player in the Holyhead Harpies. She mostly watched their every game, and the only communication she had with Ginny was a wave from the changing room. Neville, she saw him less than the others. He was mostly absent on their gatherings, tea parties and getaways. She did really miss him, her only companion aside from Ginny during the most terrifying year at Hogwarts, her protector and true friend.

Ginny had called her earlier; she wanted to meet her on the Fair at Diagon Alley. She was cleaning her silver car, a gift from his father last year. She had just past a driving test and miraculously got a high grade. She replaced the dull leather seat cover with knitted blue and bronze stripes, like a true Ravenclaw. She decorated her steering wheel with little flowers, and the silver look of her car were added with glittering, blue swirls, just to add a touch of life to it. Her stylish car caused some teenagers who pass by to giggle. She went in her car, and started to drive to Diagon alley.

She parked her car near The Leaky Cauldron and went inside. Tom was cleaning some tables and waved at Luna.

"Oh, hello there, Mr., Tom!" Luna said jubilantly, as she ordered a butterbeer. She sat on one of the tables. Tom gave Luna her butterbeer and she gave some sickles. While she dreamily drank her butterbeer, she saw a swirling patronus galloping towards her, it talked in Ginny's voice.

"I'm sorry Luna but I can't come because I had an important meeting with Gwenog Jones, I'm terribly sorry and I'll hope you'll understand. I'll try to reschedule our meeting, goodbye and take care!" Said the patronus as it faded away. Luna frowned and sighed. Another opportunity to see her friend dissolved into thin air. Tearfully, she gulped the last bubbles of her butterbeer and went back in her car. Half- sobbing as she was driving on the gloomy road. It was Christmas time, and kids went caroling every afternoon, Luna always observes little mistletoes infested with Nargles around the high street. Luna was driving dreamily when someone hat hit her bumper badly. Her head bumped on the steering wheel and she felt dizzy. She tried to open her eyes, and felt a blood pouring down from her forehead. She can see little stars circling above her head, everything was fading and everything went dark….
