Tears of sorrow or tears of joy? I hear they look rather similar. Do people normally giggle when they cry tears of sorrow?

Neville wrapped his arms around Luna's waist and pulled her into his lap as he leaned back against the couch in the Gryffindor common room. The couple snuggled in together, and Luna scanned over the piece of parchment in her hands again. She shook her head and crumpled up the plane, tossing it onto the coffee table in front of them.

"I can't believe someone thought I was crying because they thought you were cheating on me with Seamus," Luna said, resting her head on Neville's shoulder. "I mean nothing against Seamus, but he doesn't really seem like your type."

"He's not," Neville assured, kissing the top of her head. "I prefer blondes who love all creatures big and small."

Luna blushed and nuzzled her head into Neville's shoulder. At least Gossip Witch finally got something right. Those definitely weren't tears of sorrow rolling down her face, especially not after seeing that sign hanging over the two of them in the library.

"What were you laughing at anyways?" Neville asked, resting his head against hers.

"There was a sign hanging above you and Seamus earlier that reminded me of something Hermione and I were talking about earlier. The cost of correct answers," Luna replied, lifting her head from his shoulder and pressing a kiss to his cheek.

Neville furrowed his brow and cocked his head to the side, looking at her slightly confused. "Why was that so funny?"

"The look you were giving Seamus when he asked you about bubtober pus was priceless," she said, reaching out to cup his cheek gently. "And dumb looks are given away for free."

Seamus walked into the common room just as Luna pressed another kiss to Neville's cheek. "Oh, sorry. Don't mind me; I'll get out of your way," he said, hurrying along towards the dorms.

"No need to rush out," Luna insisted, sliding off Neville's lap onto the couch. "We were just talking. Come join us."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Seamus asked, scrubbing a hand over the top of his head. "I mean, I saw the blast earlier, so I figured you would want me to stay away so that no more assumptions could be made.

Luna shook her head. "That tip was nonsense, and Gossip Witch knew it. She was completely right about my tears of joy. I don't know who sent that tip in, but I'm sure they felt very embarrassed when she pointed out the difference in tears. Now come join us and enjoy the fire."
