Early one morning in late July, The Knight Bus was transporting Luna all the way to the outskirts of Tinworth, Cornwall to Bill and Fleur who were cleaning up Shell Cottage. She remembered sitting under a tree reading a Quibbler when she heard the sound of hooves coming her way. She looked into the distance, it was Dumbledore on a cart pulled by a pony.

"Why Professor Dumbledore," she said. "What are you doing here in Ottery St Catchpole?"

"I just had a meeting with Neville's grandmother,"explained Dumbledore." we planned a surprise party for him as well for Harry Potter since his birthday comes the next day on this beach."

"Well, both boys will surely have the best birthdays this year thanks to you." said Luna, climbing on the cart. Dumbledore smiled at her words.

They arrived at the Lovegoods' house where her father, Xenophilus,was finishing an interview with Sybil Trelawney, the Divination teacher at Hogwarts. He handed Luna a letter from Bill Weasley who was with Fleur Delacoeur at Shell Cottage.

"Thanks, Stan," Luna said to the conductor when she reached her destination.

"No problem,love." Stan answered.

"We'll meet again on my way back."

Stan nodded as the door of the Bus closed.

Luna started walking towards the cottage until she saw Bill walking towards her.

"Bill!" she called to him.

"Good morning," he greeted her. "I was expecting you a bit later."

"I came to send you invitations." said Luna.

"Fleur and I were thinking of taking Neville here on for a birthday holiday with us." said Bill. "We wondered if you want to join."

"I would love to go to Tinworth with you," exclaimed Luna.

Bill went back indoors to inform Fleur. Luna stayed on the shore for a while to collect shells for a gift to Neville before setting off. of the spotted a short figure with pointy ears walking at the edge of the coastline. She slowly walked then ran after it but disappeared into the mist. It might have been Dobby,thought Luna to herself. I wonder where he is going.

That evening, the party was all set inside a large tent with banners across the ceiling and floating candles. Amos Diggory was chatting with Cho Chang who was sitting with Marcus Flint. Harry,Ron,Hermione and Ginny danced along the lively folk music played by the band that filled the air. Neville was sitting on a table, then turned to look at Luna who was dancing with her father then turned back.

"Go on Neville,it's your night," said Ginny behind him."Ask Luna for a dance."

"I'll think I'll have another ginger ale," quivered Neville.

"No, you don't," insisted Ginny,pushing him towards her and threw him into her arms while Ginny laughed joyously.

"I just pushed Neville into the girl he likes," she told Harry.

"Well done," he said grinning.

Fred and George sneaked into Dumbledore's book and found a fantastic fire spell they could use for their next fireworks display. They used their Wildfire Whizzbangs from their wands into the air but they lost control,sending the form of a huge dragon flying above the guests which then made a grand explosion in the sky. Everybody applauded the twins who were now covered in soot.

"That was awesome," exclaimed George.

"Let's do that again!" replied Fred.

"Fred and George Weasley!" Snape huffed, pulling the twins by the ears. "I might have known it has been you two clowns!"

The two were sent to peel potatoes,mop the floor and clean dishes under the watch of Snape who sat with Dumbledore reading The Daily Prophet.

"Friends,students,faculty of Hogwarts," he announced. " I am here to say that I thank all of you to attend this birthday party I arranged with his grandmother."

Luna breathed heavily of his story.

"Bill, stop scaring the poor girl!" scolded Fleur to her fiance.

The moon shone bright through the window in the bedroom where Luna slept. She woke up walked to the window to see the stars sparkling across the sky. One was shining much brighter than the others.

"The evening star," she whispered. Undomiel.

"Off to the sun now,cherie," Fleur said to Luna as they walked out in the morning.

"You see this?" Neville said to Luna showing her an bent gold pan. "It was a hobbit. Such thieves of gold."

"When I came here, one of them stared at me from the rocks and bushes." said Luna.

"Maybe he was in love with you," said Neville jokingly. "You should be careful. When the hobbits gather to elect a new leader. the elected one finds a girl he likes the most, and he would take her to be his wife."

"But those are only legends,"sighed Luna.

"Some of them may be true," said Neville.

"We'll be back to pick you up just in time for Harry's birthday dinner." said Bill. "Be careful and don't go too far."

He and Neville rowed away just as they left Luna on the shore. Luna walked into the first house she saw in front of her.

At the wall of the village there were three archways hidden behind a small waterfall and weeping willows. Luna went inside the first narrow archway kept walking until she saw light and then green hills and a clear blue sky.

"I must be in Ireland," said Luna to herself.

She walked along a path that was surrounded with

"What wrackspurts," gasped Luna.

"Actually,they were some of my fireworks in the form of butterflies," said the voice of an old man.

Luna turned around and saw a tall wizard with a wooden staff and a blue pointy hat.

"My name is Gandalf," said the wizard."I am one of the most powerful wizards here in Middle Earth."

"I'm Luna Lovegood," she introduced herself. "I am a witch myself too."

Gandalf's eyes widened. In all of his travels and encounters, he had never meet a younger witch before.

"Welcome to the Shire," informed Gandalf. "Home to many peaceful people here including hobbits."

Frodo Baggins who was sitting under a tree reading. He lifted his head from his book and gazed dreamily at her as she soaked her bare feet in the water of Brandywine River. She's so beautiful,he thought to himself. He put his book down and looked curiously at her approaching slowly by her side.

"You remind me of Ron Weasley," said Luna. "And mostly Neville Longbottom."

"Does he grow the Leaf?"

"What leaf?" said Luna.

"Longbottom Leaf,"

he's a gardener too. Well, he's excellent in Herbology and I'm with him on a birthday vacation."

Gandalf then suddenly remembered the last time he was there, he was testing his fireworks in one of the cottages so much that when he finished,he had engulfed the whole village in flames.

Luna told all about Perian Solor to the twins and Ginny at the party. Neville and Dobby joked that a hobbit was in love with her and that he was going to take her and marry her.

"Mind your sweet talking,"he grumbled looking at George wooing Luna on one knee holding her hand.

"Don't worry,Neville," reassured Ginny. "Luna knows a pillock when she sees one."
"Does she?" Neville said with a hopeful grin on his face.
