Luna Lovegood was happy. Happier than she'd been before. She had friends, good ones, for once in her life. It's not that Ginny wasn't a good friend, no, nothing of the sort. But it had always been about Ginny. Ginny this, Ginny that. While Luna didn't mind that every once in a while, it got quite tiring. She remembered one instance in particular, it was when they were in their first year.
The duo had just arrived at Hogwarts, and even though they were in different houses they sat together at the lion's table. Ginny seemed out of it. The girl was staring into space as if it held an answer to every question imaginable.
"Ginny? Are you alright?" The blonde asked, concerned for her friend.
"Did you see him Luna? He talked to me! This is just the beginning of our relationship, and I can already picture our wedding and children. Out first child will be named James, for Harry's father. He'll look like me, but his hair will be a darker shade of red. Our second will be named-" Ginny continued ranting, despite Luna's attempts to sway her from the subject.
"And our third child, Lilly, will also look like me, but with Harry's eyes. She's so-"
"Can you just shut the bloody hell up, Ginny? It's always Harry Potter this, Harry Potter that, and I'm sick of it! I try to have a decent conversation with you, but you always change the subject to Harry bloody Potter! I'm done, unless you can actually hold a conversation without mentioning him." Luna burst.
The blonde left shortly after that. A while later, it seemed that Ginny could actually talk about something not related to Harry Potter. The pair slowly but surely became the friends they once were.
Another memory that came to mind was when she ran into Ginny talking to Ronald about the potions they had.
"We could get everything we've ever wanted! Don't you see? You could get that whore, Hermione, and I could get the boy-who-lived. We'll be rich beyond our wildest dreams!" Ginny exclaimed, trying to be quiet. After all, the were in the girls lavatory.
"Are you sure it would even work, Ginny?" Ron asked, unsure of what else to say. He started to pace back and forth across the lavatory.
"Oh Ronald, of course they will work! Mother made them." Ginny rolled her eyes at the apparent stupidity of her brother. "You know as well as I do that they're the best we could get our hands on."
"Okay, lets do it. When are we going to give it to them?"
"Oh, I don't know, how about we invite them the burrow over the holidays and we'll dose them then?"
"Sounds perfect."
Luna was drawn back to the present. Her new friends Neville and Harry were playing exploding snap, while Hermione was reading a book. "Hey Luna, want to join us?" Harry asked with a smile on his face. Yes, Luna was happy.
