Ginny took the cups of tea and walked into the living room, setting the cups down on the coffee table she kept her gaze trained on the carpet under her feet as she tried her hardest not to squirm in front the other girl. Lune took the cup offered to her and sipped at it giving a pleased sound of approval as she relaxed, seeming to sink into the couch as she exhaled a sigh. Ginny found it admirable for she felt she could barely move from the tightness in her own muscles.

"Been awhile…" Ginny tried to start but she mentally cringed at how lame her words sounded even to her own ears. Luna nodded, her blonde hair bobbing with the action and the room was set into silence again. Taking glances at her companion she made note of how her friend had changed over the years and yet how she seemed the same young teenager she was when they had first met.

After their first encounter in the divination tower the two Hogwarts students spotted each other only once more during their first year. Winter had rolled in and despite the frigid cold loyal Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students trudged through knee high snow to fill the stands of the Quidditch field.

Ginny was as enthusiastic about the wizard sport as her brothers were. Despite the black journal holding her from such crowded social events, she was in desperate attempt to isolate it along with herself; she had every reason to celebrate this day. Just moments prior she had thrown Tom's book into a public toilet, she could no longer take the torture of being his slave. She didn't want any more students getting hurt; she didn't want to be helping him do it.

Ginny growled to herself, she was suppose to be celebrating; she was finally rid of him! 'Just enjoy the game…' she thought to herself. Following the quaffle as it was passed off between players she shifted in her seat, standing as the Gryffindors scored cheering half-heartedly. She had a nagging feeling and it just seemed to grow as she sat there.

The red head's breath hitched as she made eye contact with a Ravenclaw across the field. 'It's her…' Luna was staring right at her, the usual magazine or odd titled book missing from her hands. It was clear as day she wasn't paying attention to the game, her eyes were unmoving, nearly unblinking as if observing one of those creature she always talked about, there was fascination in her eyes. Ginny was freaked out, the blonde just kept staring! She didn't catch the polite smile Luna sent her, her paranoid mind only knew what it wanted and it know…those eyes were accusing her!

Ginny jumped up with sudden panic and pushed her way through, nearly toppling over several other Gryffindors, towards the exit. She had to get out, she had to get away; she was trapped once again…

Shaking her head of the past she glanced over at her old friend. It was then that she realized that Luna was saying something to her. She picked up on words like 'child', 'newborn', and 'daughter'.

"How did you know I just had a daughter!?" Ginny hadn't meant to shout, the paniced side of her just seemed to bloom with Luna's presence, she was quick to apologize but Luna merely smiled. The blonde knew of her friend's uneasiness and held patient easily.

"Oh, a little Swishtrix* told me so." She nodded matter-of-factly sipping her tea and Ginny blinked, forcing down the smile that had become her usual reaction to such antics. No, Ginny was an adult now and she would not let Luna off the hook that easily.

"Luna," Ginny gave her a serious look, "who told you."

Luna didn't seemed thrown off by the change in behavior, while Ginny was vulnerable at times she knew her friend to be one of the strongest and bravest Gryffindors there was. She set her tea down and straightened herself,

"Hermione said you could use the company," suddenly Luna beamed at her brightly, the same smile that made Ginny's stomach do flips.

Ginny grimaced, not only had her friend set this meeting up but she knew there was more to that sentence; she bit her lip preparing herself for it because she knew that she…

"Besides I missed you!"

…wouldn't like what she heard.

*Swishtrix- made it up, same thing as saying "a little birdie told me"

A/N: I really tried harder to make this chapter longer, but I'm torn between keeping up with these fast updates or stall them to get longer chapters (but knowing me I'd shall the actual writing not the updates -_-)
