The first time we met.
...
I remember the first time we met quite clearly in my mind. It was during our first year. Before all the drama. It was back when things were at least a little normal.
I was walking down the corridor to the great hall when I heard a crash against the floor. I turned to see you sprawled upon the ground with your dirty blonde ringlets a mess around you.
"Are you okay?" I exclaimed as I rushed towards you.
You shook your head for a moment as you sat up and I put my hand on your shoulder.
"I'm quite alright thank you." You smiled.
"Those mean boys just tripped me is all."
I turned to look for the boys but luckily for them, they were gone. I turned back to you and offered my hand to help you up. You took it smiling and manoeuvred your things back into a manageable position on your hip.
"I'm Luna by the way." You smiled.
"Ginny." I said as I shook your hand.
"Well, I must be going to dinner now. Thanks for your help." You said suddenly as you began to leave.
"Wait!" I exclaimed making you turn back to me.
"Here are your..." I began before realising I actually had no idea what I was holding.
They looked like strange glasses.
"Spectrespecs." You said with a smile as you approached me and placed them on your head.
You were awfully peculiar.
Maybe that's what I loved about you. Maybe that's why I walked you to the great hall that night. Maybe that's why we became friends. Maybe that's why we fell in love.
