It was the Christmas holidays at Hogwarts. Luna had opted to stay at school this year, her fourth, as she knew her father would insist on fishing again for most of the day. While she wouldn't mind fishing, it did feel rather cold after a while.
So that was how it came to be that Luna Lovegood was skipping through the charms corridor and passed Seamus Finnigan under some mistletoe. Well, when I say passed I mean collided with, she had been so caught up in her own thoughts that she hadn't noticed him. "Well, well Miss Lovegood careful. Yeh never know, one o' these days it could be Crabbe or Goyle that yeh run into, not a strappin' young Gryffindor like meself," he said in his Irish lilt, ending with a wink. "Oh, hello Seamus," she replied, not really paying attention. As Luna began to skip away, Seamus caught her arm and pulled her back. "Now, hold yer horses, you owe me a kiss!" He laughed, pulling her yet closer. "Hm, why?" she glanced upward, following his own motion "Oh, well it's probably infested with nargles," she responded, feeling her cheeks burning. He just smiled in response to her feeble excuse and had just about closed the gap between them when... "Oh my! Is that a wrackspurt?" Luna exclaimed before dashing off, leaving a slightly dazed Seamus Finnigan behind her.
