A/N: Hello all. This is a collection for the Raise a witch or wizard challenge. Section One, Month 1. Option 2: Write about a family gathering that is only blissful and cheerful for everyone.
This is also the start of a birthday present for the birthday exchange, written for TrueBeliever831. I say start, because this is short. Since this is a collection for the above challenge, there are more pieces to come. I really hope you enjoy it. Happy birthday!
Also for the pairing the character drabble challenge. This week, Harry. I chose to pair him with Luna.

Xenophilius, Weasleys, Remus, and the Snapes (Hermione and her husband, Severus) sat in the room adjacent to the kitchen where Harry and Luna stood.
"Are you sure you're ready to tell them?"
"Of course I am, Harry. Are you?"
"Yes," he said, pulling her into his arms.
"You seem nervous. Did you forget to eat an apple today, you know they keep the wrackspurts away."
He shook his head and kissed her forehead. "There's no better time to tell our friends and family."
They walked out together, and immediately, Xenophilius spoke.
"Why are we all here?" It wasn't meant to be rude, though to an outsider it might have seemed that way.
"Well," Harry started, "as you remember, Luna and I decided to try to grow our family, what, three years ago?"
There was a collective gasp in the room as they realized what was going on.
"We're expecting," Luna finished with a happy sigh.
The room mostly erupted in cheers, though Hermione could be seen gently elbowing her husband, who remained unphased by the news.
"Oh Luna, that's great!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed as she pulled the happy couple into her arms.
Xenophilius walked over with a smile of his own, "Oh yes, we must celebrate. You'll have to get some mint and lavender for the baby's room to keep away the nargles and wrackspurts. And a dirigible plum bush for the yard."
Harry kissed his wife, mentally laughing at the thought. "We're finally going to be a family."
