I. Parvati Patil

Padma knew from the beginning that her and her sister were nothing alike.

She was a free-spirited gossip queen, while Padma preferred to keep to herself. Parvati was the epitome of mischief, while Padma was more invested in knowledge and hence, reading.

There was clear, distinct line between them and their personalities. They desired different things, wanted to accomplish different goals. Parvati wanted to be pretty, popular, and wanted all of the boys to flock to her. Meanwhile, Padma wanted to a learned scholar, with the world's knowledge stored in her brain.

They couldn't be more different. And yet, Parvati was her rock, her support, her shoulder to cry on, and vice versa. They weren't seen in public together, but secretly huddled in nooks and alcoves, comforting each other like sisters did.

No one else shared their bond, nor had an inkling of it.

"Does this make me look fat?" Parvati twirled around in her traditional Indian dress, which was pink and orange and gold, blending together as she spun.

"You look fine," Padma assured her, seated on her bed. "Splendid, I would say."

"Thank you," Parvati beamed. "I hope Harry likes it."

Padma pursed her lips. She doubted Harry would like it, since he had his eyes on another girl, but she kept her lips sealed for Parvati's sake.

She hoped Parvati was aware of what she was doing.

II. Ron Weasley

Padma sent another displeased look at her date, who was glaring enviously at Granger and Krum dancing.

She knew the redhead fancied Granger, but at least he could not be insolent and indulge her. He could be a courteous gentleman and at the most offer her a dance. Was that so difficult?

She had figured long ago she was a last resort date, but it wouldn't hurt to be genial, would it?

III. Luna Lovegood

She was an enigma wrapped in obfuscation. She was naive, young, yet so powerful.

And yet, this girl changed Padma's life.

The sun resided in her smile and her hair, the moon in her hair. She was a contradiction, wise yet innocent.

And she entered Padma's life like a hurricane.
