Very Much Like Her

The first person he encountered was Ginny. Thank Merlin she worked for the Ministry. He wouldn't have liked to ask random people about where to find his wife or her best friend. "Have you seen Luna anywhere, Ginny?"

"Neville! Hi! What are you doing here? And no, sorry, haven't seen her. She might be in the Department of Mysteries again." Ginny explained quickly, thinking about when the last time was that she had seen Luna. It definitely had been before lunch break, of that she was sure. With a smile she thought about how almost nothing had changed. They weren't exactly at school anymore, but they were still in the same building and Luna was still the same strange person that she held so dear. And Neville was just a darling, they way he took care of his family, of Luna.

"The Department of Mysteries? But she doesn't work for them. Why would she go – wait, no. Don't answer that." Of course, Luna would be the one person to find her way into the Department of Mysteries without actually working there and without getting thrown out.

"Yeah, I think they want to hire her. They borrow her every now and then. Well, she goes down there every now and then. But that's Luna for you."

Neville nodded. That sounded very much like his wife.

"Well, I'm going to go and find her then. She can't have come far," he said with a wink and waved her goodbye.

"Be sure to give her a kiss. She's been dreamy again, today!"

"I will!"
