"And a daisy for luck," Luna stated, plucking the yellow and white flower and adding to the small bouquet she'd already started. So far, she'd picked a handful of dandelions, two lilies, a fushia colored pansy with yellow lines, and a white flower she didn't know the name of yet.

"Luna, where are you? Are you playing hide and seek?" Pandora's voice called from the house. Luna giggled. She hadn't been planning to play that game, but since her mum had suggested it, she might as well. She ducked down behind some tall grass.

"Yes!" she answered, trying very hard to throw her voice to make it sound like it was coming from the other side of the pond. She could see her mother's legs walking through the field.

"Now, if I was a smart little girl, where would I hide? Not in the tree, that's full of gnargles. Hmm, not by the stream feeding the pond. The plinkies would pull me under for sure," Pandora stated causing Luna to giggle. She clenched the small bouquet of flower tightly in her hand.

"Maybe I would go swimming in the pond? It's too small for kelpies though, some water sprites might be around though?"

Luna giggled again, not even noticing her mother was almost standing over her at this point, not having been fooled in the slightest by Luna's failed attempt to throw her voice.

"Or I could be hiding in the tall grass!" Pandora exclaimed, reaching down and pulling Luna to her feet and giving her a tight hug.

"You found me," Luna stated.

"Of course I did, darling. I will always find you," Pandora stated, hugging Luna again. Luna held out her little fist still holding the flowers.

"I picked these for you, for luck," she added. "You said you had a big research project and you were worried about it," she finished. Pandora took the small bouquet of flowers and smiled.

"Thank you, Luna. Oh, were did you find moon flower?" she asked, pulling out the white flower flower Luna hadn't recognized.

"Over by the big oak tree on the edge of the field. There was a whole carpet of them," she answered.

"Finding those are very good luck, Luna. They only bloom when the conditions are just right."

"Really?"

"Really! Now, let's head back to the house and put these in some water."

"Can we have jam sandwiches for lunch?" Luna asked, taking her mother's hand and walking back towards the house.

"Absolutely we can have jam sandwiches for lunch. Mrs. Weasley was kind enough to drop off an extra jar of blackberry jam she'd made."

"That's my favorite!" Luna exclaimed happily.

"Mine too, now, want to race?" Pandora asked. Luna's smile widened.

"Okay, on the count of three. One, two-"

"Three!" the witches chorused together as they both took off running towards the Rookery. Luna had almost reached the door when she paused. Pandora caught up.

"Why are you stopped, Luna? You could have easily won."

"I know, but I wanted you to win. It would make the day that much better for you," she stated. "Besides, that cloud looks so much like a dragon, I wanted to make sure it wasn't really one in disguise," she added, pointing to a cloud that did indeed look very much like a dragon. Pandora smiled.

"How about we call it a tie then?" she suggested. Luna nodded, as they crossed the threshold of the house together, both smiling and giggling as they made their way to the kitchen for jam sandwiches and a vase of water for the flowers Luna had picked.
