Dedication: starspangledpumpkin
Word Count: 300
It's been five years since they graduated and three years since their marriage. Luna and Ginny made their life decisions slowly, but together. It helped them both make sure that, after everything they went through in the war and making sure they made it through their last year of school, they still would be good for each other once the dust settled.
They were inseparable in school, but they gave each other the time to get their footing in the real world and pursue their dream careers. They were inseparable even then.
Today was going to mark a new milestone.
Luna hummed a cheery tune as she brushed Ginny's fiery locks before carefully braiding it down her back.
"I volunteered at St. Mungo's today," Luna said, tying the end of Ginny's hair off. "I was in the nursery caring for a baby boy who was abandoned there weeks ago."
"That's horrible," Ginny said, facing her wife. "Who could do something like that?"
Luna shrugged. "I grew quite attached to him. His beautiful hazel eyes glow when he smiles, making little dimples on his dark cheeks. I hated having to leave him behind. After doing some digging, I learned that they were unable to find any related family and are transferring him to an orphanage."
Ginny reached for Luna's hand, clutching it fondly. "Are you saying that—"
"He will certainly capture your heart like he has mine," Luna stated. "We could start the process now and have it done before he is ready for release."
The couple had recently talked about starting a family, and the opportunity came. "Do you want to meet him?"
"Of course!"
Luna was right, as soon as Ginny held the little boy in her arms, he captured her heart, too.
"He's so beautiful."
"Our little Ezra."
