The end of the school year had come quicker than Luna thought it would. She had been so mixed up in all of the drama she had forgotten how much longer there was until the summer.
Luna was sitting on the train with Fred, George, Lee and Angelina. She did feel a little uncomfortable being the youngest in the compartment, but Fred had his arm around her in a comforting way, so things weren't so bad.
'What a year,' said George, in a tired voice.
'Such a year,' Angelina agreed. 'With all the Sirius Black and dementor stuff, I'm hoping next year will calm down a little.'
Fred and Luna exchanged looks of amusement, because they both knew George was talking about all the relationship troubles.
'Yeah, those dementors got on my nerves.' said George, as Angelina nodded with a look of disgust on her face.
'Mine too,' Fred said.
'Me too,' said Lee.
'My nerves were accompanied also,' Luna piped up. All of them giggled good-heartedly.
At that moment the train slowed down to a stop.
'Let's go, guys!' Lee said, standing up.
All of them followed Lee out of the compartment, out of the train and onto platform 9 and ¾. Luna spotted her father humming to himself, and looking at the train expectantly. When Luna looked across the platform she saw Mrs Weasley and Mr Weasley burying their kids in hugs. Luna giggled to herself as she made her way towards her father.
'Ah, Luna!' Xenophilius said when he saw Luna, holding his arms out for a hug. Luna embraced her father, a little reluctantly. She still was a little mad at him because of the letter.
'Luna,' said Xeno, his voice suddenly very serious. 'You never replied to my letter. Why didn't you?' he asked.
Luna plucked up all her courage against her father and folded her arms. 'Because Fred could not help me write it. And I did not wish to speak to you.' she said loudly, and confidently.
'Luna!' her father scolded. 'I told you; that boy is bad news!'
'No he isn't,' Luna said firmly. 'He's just brave enough to do the things that others have the capability of doing, but are too scared to do it. Fred is a wonderful person and I- I forgot to say goodbye!' Luna gasped suddenly.
She ran from her father and found Fred talking with his family. They were all getting ready to leave the platform.
'Fred! Goodbye! I love you!' Luna gushed.
Fred chuckled. 'Goodbye, Luna.'
Luna smiled and put her arms around Fred's neck. Standing on her tip toes, she pressed her lips against his.
She could feel Fred smile into the kiss, but it didn't last long.
'Oh, get a room, you two!' George joked.
They pulled away from each other, both chuckling.
'I will see you some time during the summer?' Luna asked hopefully.
'I don't know...' Fred said, his eyebrow's furrowing. 'We might be going to the Quidditch world cup this summer.'
'Well, I guess I'll have to wait until September.' Luna grinned. She placed a kiss on his cheek.
'If we don't see each other before the World Cup, I promise I'll write!' Fred promised.
'Okay, that'll be great!' Luna said happily. 'I promise I will reply! As long as the wrackspurts don't get to me!'
Fred chuckled. 'Well, I'd better go... bye, Luna!' he kissed her on the forehead, and with a wave, disappeared through the wall.
Luna smiled to herself as she skipped back to her father. Even if her dad was angry with her, nothing could spoil Luna's mood. Luna had a feeling that this was going to be a great summer.
