Divorcees
Harry James Potter was depressed. He had spent the last two years in wedded bliss, not realizing that his wife was not sharing in his happiness. She was so unhappy she had already filed for divorce and signed all the paperwork. Now he found himself alone, in the Office of Failed Marriage feeling quite bad for himself.
So lost in his own pity party was he that he didn't notice a familiar face entering the room and joining the line of unhappy people. With a few signatures and an initial his marriage was over. He kept his head down, trying to avoid meeting eyes with anyone. As he neared the door A dreamy voice from the past stopped him.
"Harry! What a surprise to see you here. I mean. . . I'm sorry." Luna Lovegood motioned to him from the front of the line.
"You too Luna? I'm sorry. . . Erm, and congrats. . . We saw the birth announcement in The Daily Prophet, twin boys!"
"They're at my dad's right now, stick around? I'll treat you to lunch, and take you to meet them. I could, well I could use some company."
Harry had never seen Luna look so sad, after a moments hesitation he agreed, the two old friends talked about small things until it was her turn.
Much to Harry's dismay she began to cry. He hugged her awkwardly feeling unshed tears burning in his eyes as well. Sadly he knew exactly how she was feeling.
"Luna, we'll be alright. It seems bad now, but everything happens for a reason."
