From Chapter 29:
Bright skies, and the buzz of bees greeted Mayday. Spring was in full bloom and it was Luna's birthday. Harry and Hermione had a special party planned, inspired by Parvati's hints weeks ago.
A red squirrel with a bushy tail started and ran up a tree when the quartet of wizards pushed through the underbrush into the concealed clearing in the Forbidden Forest in which they had "settled" Hermione the previous week. Luna had been thrilled at finding a new spot hidden in the oaks and bracken to play in, and it seemed the ideal place for a picnic.
The young wizards spread out a red and gold blanket emblazoned with the Gryffindor crest. Cheerfully, they munched on cucumber sandwiches, pork pies, crisps, and treacle tarts, followed up with a double layer cake iced with whipped cream and strawberries. They washed the lot down with dandelion wine and butterbeers.
"I think it's time for your presents Luna." Parvati said with a grin, her eyes flicking to Harry as Hermione smirked.
Luna's eyes widened in anticipation and she reached for Parvati's parcel. Eagerly, with short sharp breaths, Luna tore the gold-embossed wrapping paper from the long rectangular box. Gently, she lifted the lid and gaped in delight at the gift. The long springy object shimmered when she held it up to the dappled light of the glade.
"It's got an everlasting charm on it." Said Parvati, "I think you'll really enjoy some of the things it can do." She concluded with a giggle.
"It's beautiful! Thank you very much." Luna replied softly as she gazed adoringly at Parvati. Taking Parvati in her arms, Luna kissed her on the lips warmly. Parvati's long lashes fluttered and she responded in kind.
Luna pulled back and flushed slightly, putting a finger to her lips. A smile crossed Harry's lips. He knew that look, and he was happy that Luna and Parvati had made a connection; they both deserved someone nice to love.
"This is from both of us - Harry and me." Hermione said with a smile when she pressed a small green velvet box into Luna's hands.
Luna opened the box and gasped at the glittering diamond encrusted gold locket. It must have cost a fortune, and Luna could have never imagined anybody spending that much on her. Tears filled her eyes when Luna undid the clasp and a tiny Harry and Hermione waved back at her. Under the picture an inscription read "Amici Aeterni."
