Nargles in the Mistletoe
A/N Here's a Christmas oneshot :D I love Christmas!
Xenophilius Lovegood was in the kitchen of his- ahem- unique house, making tea. There was no need for this, the party was fine and no-one's drinks had even started to look remotely empty.
He had gone through to the kitchen to avoid watching his beloved daughter, Luna.
Luna was dancing around the room at the Lovegood's annual Christmas party, politely offering drinks to guests. It wasn't Luna he was worried about, though. What troubled him were the stares she was getting, from one boy in particular- that Scamander child. He was certainly not being invited next year! Xenophilius' eyes had followed Luna around the room, and appraised her. She was tall now, and skinny too. Her eccentric blonde hair fell in waves down the back of her sky-blue dress and she looked her age, being in her 4th year at Hogwarts.
She was the image of her mother. Her mother. Her mother would have known what to do. Her mother wouldn't have had to leave the room to avert making a scene with that Scamander boy.
At that moment, Luna herself ran into the kitchen.
"Hello Daddy!" she exclaimed happily, her cheeks flushed from the heat inside the rooms which housed the party.
"Hello, dear" Xenophilius replied, quite subdued.
"It's gorgeous, isn't it?' Luna said, unfazed by her father's tone, running a piece of mistletoe through her fingers like a ribbon. Xenophilius suddenly had a disturbing vision of his little Luna stood underneath the mistletoe with that Scamander boy.
He panicked, and blurted out quickly
"Beautiful, yes, but often infested with Nargles."
A/N Hope you liked it! Merry Christmas guys!
