A/N: Please read and review. Enjoy -Cole


Luna woke up on her birthday to the smell of bacon and eggs. Funny, she thought to herself before opening her eyes, I don't think we're allowed to cook here. Then she opened her eyes to see-

"Dobby?" Luna asked, rubbing her eyes. Why was the houseelf in here now?

"Yes Mizzy Luvgud," Dobby replied as he levitated the eggs and bacon over to the little table near Luna's bed. It had to be about six am by the looks of the sky, but Luna was used to waking early, so Dobby figured it would be alright, "Mr. Harry Potter, sir, me told make breakfast for birthday you!"

"Ah..I see," Luna stated as she began to eat her eggs, "Would you like some?"

"Oh, no Mizzy Luvgud, I is already aten, I is going now!" and with that the little House Elf was gone. Luna continued to eat her eggs in silence until five small owls knocked on the window. Luna got up and walked to the window, opening it to let them in.

The first was Hedwig. She was carrying a small letter which Luna assumed to be from Harry. She opened it up and read.

Dear Luna,

How are you brthday girl? I am so, so, infinity times so sorry that I can't be there, but with classes 'til nine, I really don't have a choice.

Now, I hope you still like the earings I got you, considering you were bawling over them last night, I think you'll like them for quite sometime-

Luna paused from the reading and 'accio'-ed her earings over to her. They were two crescent moons with an emerald and an amethyst in each, Harry and hers birthstones.

Any way, I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday, remind you that I love you, and that Mad-Eye has called an Order meeting ((I prayed that we were done with those)) for Saturday night.

I'll be in touch,

Harry

The next owl was from Tonks. Luna and Tonks had grown very close over the past year. Even if they were eight years apart, Luna considered Tonks one of her best friends if not her best friend. After Ginny died, all Luna had left was Harry. Although Hermione always went the extra mile for Luna, Luna knew Hermione did it only out of pity. Hermione and Luna were friends, they just weren't very close. Ron was a good friend as were Dean and Neville, but they weren't very close either. Keira and Draco were very dear to Luna and she considered them best friends too. Luna ripped open the letter and began to read.

Luna-

Happy Birthday! You're legal, you're legal, you're legal YAY! Seventeen, wow, I wish I was seventeen again. Damn, now I feel old. Whydja have to make me feel old?

Any way, did you open you're present? Of course you didn't you always have to do everything the right way. Okay, finish reading the letter and then open the present. I hope you like it, I worked really hard on it...

Oh, guess what? Hestia's preganant! I know, I'm sooooo happy for them. I wonder if they'll name their child after me. No, we don't want the poor child to be named Dora, now do we?

Mad-eye ((Old bloke that he is, I can't believe him and McGonagall were married last month, I think old Minnie said something about adoption?)) told me to enclose the portkey for the ((Sorry blocked that out for security measures)) the activation word is your kitten's name.

Alright, gotta go,

Tonks

Luna opened the gift next to her and smiled. Tonks had bought her a set of books on Crumple-Horned Snorkacks and Heliopaths. One was titled Heliopaths:Myths of Darkness or Creatures of Light, another was The Little Big Encyclopedia of Crumple Horned Snorkacks, and the final was called Mythical and Mystical Beasts and Where to Find them. Luna placed them in her trunk and then opened the next letter. She still had atleast two hours before classes started.

Luna,

How are you dear, I hope life's treating you alright. I know we haven't talked in ages, but I want you to know you can talk to me whenever you find the need. Also, I have a proposition for you. Meet me in my office after your last class today.

Oh, I've included a small present, I do hope you like it. It's from both Hestia and me, we figured you would like it.

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall-Moody

Minerva had given Luna a silverware set for her new flat. It was porcelin white with yellow and white diasies as a border. The utensils had the words 'umquam fortis, umquam exemplar' with the Potter and Lovegood crests entwined printed on them. Umquam fortis was the Potter motto, translated from Latin to English it read 'Ever brave.' Uquam exemplar was the lovegood motto, translatted from Latin to English it read 'Ever original.' Luna laughed at the crest, I hope to God that our crest doesn't look like that! She thought as she opened the next letter.

Dear Luna,

How are you? I promise, promise, promise I'll come visit you soon. It's just with work and everything...I'll see you as soon as I can.

Anyway, Draco and I bought this for you for your seventeenth birthday, we really hope you like it!

Love ya,

Keira

Luna opened up the next package while she tied her hair up in a know. Inside were seventeen ever-alive daisies with black centers instead of yellow. On each petal were the words 'Μολυμένη αθωότητα' which meant 'tainted innocence' in Greek. The words were written in silver, the color of Luna's eyes. Luna smiled at the flowers, a silver tear escaping her eyes, they were so beautiful.

The final owl was from Ron and Hermione. Luna had expected it to be from her father, but his would probably come after dinner. Luna opened the letter and a silver necklace fell out. The necklace was pure silver with a gem on it. Inside of the gem was silver mercury that changed shades according to Luna's moods. It was so beautiful.

Dear Luna,

I know we aren't very close, but I want you to have this. I made it by mistake last year while I was trying to make a red one for Ginny. I know you probably think that this means you're only allowed mistakes, but I truly did think you would like it.

I'm sorry we haven't always gotten along, but you and Harry seem serious now and I don't want us to have any grudges after you two are wedded. So I'll make you a deal, I'll put up with your ideas if you can put up with my closed-mindedness.

I understand that you think I pity you, and I do, but I don't want to any more. Maybe one day we will be friends, true friends. I can only anticipate that day eagerly.

I do hope you like the necklace.

Sincerely,

Hermione

Luna smiled and put on the necklace, than she got dressed and walked to class, knowing this was her best birthday yet.
