Sirius sighed. This whole thing was great, but at the same time, boring as hell. Remus had spent most of the day talking about the ever changing color of his new bride's eyes. Sirius had finally managed to escape by slipping away from the head table. He had sauntered over to the bar, ordered a drink and now was watching the crowd.

A witch standing in the corner caught his attention for several reasons. The first was he was certain he'd never seen her before. The second was the fact she was completely alone and did not seem to be enjoying herself. He set his drink down and walked over.

"Hey, beautiful, you here for the bride or the groom?" he asked, hoping she wasn't some long lost cousin of his. There were way too many cousins in a pure-blood family.

"Neither," she answered, giving him a brilliant smile. "I'm simply here for the happy atmosphere and the cake," she added. "It is a lovely cake and it was a lovely ceremony. We all need some lovely things in our lives, don't you think?" she asked. Sirius stared at her.

"It is a dark time right now, and any little bit of joy is worth celebrating. I'm Luna, by the way. You must be Sirius Black. Is it true you're really the lead guitar player?" she asked.

"Wait, no, well, I can play the guitar," he answered, thinking about the time him and James had attempted to start a band. It had been one of James' brilliant ideas to win Lily's heart. All girls loved a musician, right?"

"Oh, I guess the articles were wrong then, or you're just trying to keep your secrets. Everyone deserves to have some secrets, don't you think so, Sirius?" she asked.

"I do," he answered as a popular song started to play. Luna swayed slightly with the music.

"Would you like to dance," Sirius asked, thinking about the fact Luna's bright yellow dress brought a smile to his face.

"I would love to," she replied, letting him lead her onto the dance floor. Sirius smiled, twirling Luna. She was right, everyone needed a little joy in these dark times and Sirius had a feeling that was just what he had found.
