Chapter 2: Ink
Notes: Okay so I changed my mind. Last chapter was actually 'dark' so I really wanted to change the title. I re-read POA before seeing the movie and when I read the part about Harry being careful not to get Ink on his bed sheets I was annoyed to see him have a copy of 'extreme spells' open and no ink bottle. This isn't about Harry though. I WAS going to call it parchment but Ink works. Possible SPOILERS for The Order Of The Phoenix
oOo
It was warm. Glass was supposed to be cold.
Maybe it was the ink inside. The bottle was larger than she usually bought. Maybe it was warm because...
Luna put the Ink bottle down on her desk. Her index finger circled it carefully. It was black. The color wasn't different.
She picked it up again feeling the weight of it in her hand. It weighed so much MORE than usual. Luna felt a bit giddy.
She looked in the mirror and was a bit startled that she didn't have a 'dreamy smile' as she was often called dreamy, she wasn't complain it was one of the nicer things said about her.
But now she didn't look dreamy or Looney she looked thrilled.
She stared at herself for a moment before she took the top off the ink. A sudden rapping at her window caused her to jerk and splash some ink onto the floor. It was an owl.
A white snowy Owl was at her window. For a moment she stared at it. It was the first time she'd ever had an unfamiliar Owl at her window. When the rapping became louder Luna shook her head and walked over to her Window.
Her own Owl and a spastic flying ball of mangled feathers soon followed suit.
"They answered." she said in near awe. Buying the inky hadn't been a mistake.
Another Owl flew in and Luna's eyes watered.
The white owl perched on her hand and flew off when her feet connected with the drying ink on her hand.
"Just a moment." she said eyeing the smallest owl with a bit of suspicion.
It went careening towards her desk and upset a few loose leafs of paper and parchment. "Oh Dear." Luna said.
This was going to be a long and eventful summer. She had to remember to ask Hermione about an anti-hand cramping charm.
oOo
a/n: I was going to make a story before called "pondering parchment" in which Luna buys parchment in bulk, for letters to her new friends. But I thought this was better than her in a supply store selecting stationary
