A/N: This fic is in no way any attempt at me trying to say that I own Harry Potter, I wish I did own the series, but I don't.
This fic is dedicated to my girlfriend :) xx
1st September 1998, Neville Longbottom sits against the wall that leads to Platform 9 ¾ awaiting the opening of the gates that will lead him back to complete his final year at Hogwarts. If only his seventh year hadn't been interrupted by the Battle of Hogwarts…
Across the platform he sees a figure walking along in a blue jumper and deep red skirt, her auburn her flowing behind her. He seems to recognise her but can't think of her name.
"Hello Neville Longbottom" she says in her soothing voice.
"Luna is that really you?" Neville stands, nearly falling over his suitcase. "What happened to your hair?"
"I tried to dye it ginger but it didn't really work"
"Well I like it! It suits you!"
Luna blushes. "Thank you Neville. So how have you been?"
"I've been great thanks. You?"
"Well Daddy and I spent the summer rebuilding our house and now I'm back here, so good I guess!" Luna smiles.
"Well I guess we're going to be in the same classes this year! Maybe even the same house, seeing as I'm a returning student apparently I get resorted!"
"Maybe you'll be in Ravenclaw with me!"
"I'd like that!" Neville looks down at his shoes, trying to avoid Luna's eyes. A soft hissing noise comes from the wall behind them. "Looks like it's time to get back to Hogwarts!"
