This is my first fanfic, so please review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters, that would be JK Rowling.
It was 8:30 on Sunday morning four years after the end of the war. Hermione, Ginny, Fleur, Audrey, Angelina, Luna, and Katie were at breakfast at the Leaky Cauldron. Hermione was recapping the night before, "So Ron got Professor McGonagall to send the 'Hogwarts Express' to platform nine and three quarters, for our anniversary."
Hermione was talking so fast, and barely anyone could hear her, "We rode it to Hogsmeade, it was so magical. We were the only two on the train. It brought back so many good memories. When we got there we walked to Hagrid's house. We spent an hour or two there, then Ron asked Hagrid if he could let us borrow Fang."
She stopped to have a drink of her orange juice before continuing. "We walked to the Forbidden Forest, and saw thestrals. He then turned to me and said, 'I have seen so many people, good people die for no reason. Over the past couple of months I have been thinking about how precious life is, and I don't want to live it with out you, so will you, Hermione Jean Granger, make me the happiest man alive and be my wife?'"
Hermione then showed the ring to all the girls. Everyone congratulated her. After about five minutes of wedding talk, Luna bursted into tears. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No, I'm happy, it's just..." She then bursted into tears again.
Ginny, her best friend tried to comfort her, "Luna, what is it? We are your best friends. You can tell us anything." This just made Luna cry harder. "We need to get her back to the apartment." Ginny said grabbing her wand out of her boot.
Luna was in hysterics as they disapperated. Awkwardness filled the air as they were sitting in Luna and Ginny's appartment. Luna was just sobbing. After about twenty minutes she finally calmed herself. Hermione started to rub Luna's back, "Do you think you can tell us what is wrong?"
"These dang nargles!" Luna cried. They all stared at her, because they knew she was lying. "Ok, ok, I'm happy for all of you! Hermione with the engagement, Ginny I'm sure Harry is bound to pop the question any day now. Katie I couldn't be more thrilled for you Seamus, and the new little baby Finnigan. Anyways the point is, your lives and relationships are all going somewhere, I'm going in the opposite direction."
"You don't know that! Neville can make any kind of gesture any day now, and if he doesn't tell him how you feel!" Fleur said.
Luna nearly screamed, "He did make a gesture, last night on his stupid little piece of parchment! He must have some nerve to break up with me in a letter." Everyone was apologetic.
Luna sighed and continued her story, "Well, after that I disapperated to Hogshead. I had a little too much firewhiskey, and I walked to the Hogwarts gates. Don't think of me less for this, but I kind of banged on the doors at two in the morning. Neville heard, because he was just coming back from Hagrid's house. He talked, I screamed, and one thing lead to another and I smashed all of his plant pots... Man those Mandrakes can shriek. Too bad Neville didn't have in ear plugs like I did..." Everyone's jaw dropped. Luna smiled innocently and said, "Whoops..."
Please review! Thanks!
