Disclaimer: If I were all powerful, I would buy Star Wars and Harry Potter and live forevermore in a land of complete fantasy. But alas, I am not all powerful, so I doomed to simply write about it.

Chapter 7: Daisies and Mandarin Oranges

They could hear the doorbell ringing inside the house, first in the entrance hall, then in rooms farther away, radiating outwards.

"I guess she isn't home, oh well, we just won't…oh, hi Luna."

Luna had opened the door in the middle of Ron's chatter.

"Hello Ronald, Ginny, Hermione, Harry. What are you doing here?" Luna asked in her dreamy voice. She wasn't being rude, she was just wondering why four of her schoolmates had randomly shown up on her doorstep.

"Um, yes, we were wondering if you wanted to come with us."

"Where are you going? Are you going to the market? Let me get my jacket, I need to pick up some mandarin oranges; they're Nevvie's favorite."

"Nevvie?"

"Yes, Nevvie. We've gotten rather close since the DA. In fact, I was going to visit him later today, after I get the mandarin oranges, of course. Would you like to come?"

"Yes, actually. In fact, we were going to see Neville after we talk to you. We can talk on the way to the market."

Luna almost floated up the staircase behind her and returned moments later carrying a white jacket with black polka dots and a basket that looked as if it was hand-woven out of daisies.

"That's a nice basket, Luna. Did you make it?" Hermione asked.

"No, Neville gave it to me. He's rather gifted in Herbology, you know. His grandmother charmed the daisies to bloom forever without water. Now, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Tomorrow, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and I are going to search for three, possibly four abandoned pieces of old Voldy's soul. To destroy them so I can kill Voldy the next time I see him. Would you come with us to search for and destroy the Horcruxes?"

"I don't know; that's a pretty big decision. I'll have to talk to Neville about it."

"We want him to come as well. That's why we were going to visit him later today."

Luna skipped merrily up and down the aisles of the outdoor market they had reached a few minutes earlier. Luna quickly located the mandarin oranges and placed seven in her basket. After a moment of quiet contemplation, she picked up a kiwi and put it in among the oranges.

"Alright, I'll come." Luna replied simply as she paid for her produce.

It's a bit short, but that's alright. Convincing Luna was never going to be very hard. The real challenge is in convincing Neville's Gran to let him go. Can't wait to hear from you, I love you all!
