Harry had been thinking to himself about his relationship with Ginny for a very long time now. I mean, obviously he loved her very much. But he wanted to do something about it. He had thought about proposing, but he decided to wait a few years to do that. After all, she was very busy working on her writing. Ginny had decided that after eleven NEWTs, that she wanted to be a Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet. So he decided to think about that when she was a bit less busy. He thought about asking her to live with him in Grimmauld Place, but then he thought it was too soon for that. And anyway, Mrs Weasley might not like the idea.

Harry was walking around in the village of Hogsmeade. It was the first place he could think of to get some fresh air. He was so deep in thought, that he bumped straight into a girl that was buying a pair of very unusual looking earrings.

"Oh, sor-" Harry started to say, but then he caught sight of who he had bumped into. There was no mistaking those clear blue eyes, dirty blonde hair or radish earrings.

"Luna!" Harry exclaimed, as Luna Lovegood smiled widely.

"Hello, Harry," she said, in that familiar dreamy voice.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Oh, I was just buying a new pair of earrings," she said, holding up what looked like a pair of mini aubergines, suspended by minute hooks. "They're very pretty, aren't they?"

"Errr...yeah!" Harry said, uncertainly. "They're great! So, I haven't seen you in ages! Do you want to get a drink?"

"Yes, OK. That sounds nice." They walked towards the new pub opposite the shop where Luna had bought her earrings, The Elder Wand. Luna went to find a table while Harry ordered drinks. He came over five minutes later with two Firewhiskeys and sat opposite Luna.

"So," he said, after sipping his Firewhiskey. "What's going on with you? Anything new?"

"Not much," Luna replied, in her sing-song voice. "Oh! There is one thing. Dean and I are engaged." Harry was incredibly thrown by this news.

"Engaged?" he asked, shocked. "But, we're only nineteen!"

"I know," Luna said, looking at her left hand, and then Harry suddenly realised that she was wearing a ring with a huge diamond. "But, Dean and I decided that there was no point in waiting. We're not going to be any more prepared for it in a few years than we are now anyway. And we love each other. That's all that matters."

Harry was very taken aback. He was not used to hearing about this kind of conversation from Luna. But, he did think that it was very good news.

"Well," he said, finally. "Congratulations! I'm really happy for you both! As long as you think it's the right time."

"Thank you! Yes, it is the right time. Anyway, it's not just us. Neville and Hannah Abbot are getting married as well."

Harry was taking a particularly large gulp of Firewhiskey at the exact moment Luna had said that, and he spat it all out again. Luna didn't even blink.

"What?" he spluttered. "Neville and Hannah Abbot? Neville Longbottom and Hannah Abbot? Are you serious!?"

"Yes."

"When is their wedding?"

"Next month. Neville was sending owls with invitations this morning. Did you get yours?"

"No, I wasn't at The Burrow this morning. I've been here all day. When is your wedding?"

"January 15th."

"Wow! Three months away! Excited?"

"Yes, I am."

"So, how long have Hannah and Neville been engaged?"

"About six months."

"So, how come I haven't heard about it until now?"

"Because they wanted to keep it a secret until the wedding drew near."

"Oh, OK." Harry drained the rest of his Firewhiskey. "I think I'm going to go home now."

"Oh, can I come with you?" Luna asked, finishing off her own Firewhiskey and getting up. "I want to tell everyone about the wedding."

"Well, OK then," Harry agreed, as they walked out of The Elder Wand. And then, with a crack they Disapparated.

When they arrived at The Burrow seconds later, Ginny was bent over the dining table, writing on a piece of parchment.

"Hi, Harry," she said, without turning around.

"Hi," he replied, kissing her on the cheek. "Guess who's here?"

"Who?" Ginny asked.

"Turn around." Ginny wheeled around in her chair, and when she clapped eyes on Luna, her face lit up.

"Luna!" she exclaimed, jumping up to hug her.

"Well," Luna began. "I have something to tell you."

"Oh, but before you do," Harry interrupted. "Can I tell her the other thing?"

"OK," Luna agreed.

"Yes!" Harry said, looking excited. "OK, Ginny, Neville and Hannah Abbot are getting married!" To Harry's surprise and disappointed, Ginny only smiled.

"Oh, I know," she said. "We all got the owl they sent this morning."

"Oh," Harry said, extremely disappointed. "Did Ron see it?"

"Oh yeah. He's still crying with laughter upstairs in his room. So anyway, Luna, what's your news?"

"Oh, right," Luna said, as if she'd momentarily forgot. "Dean and I are engaged."

Ginny gasped. "OH MY GOODNESS!" she screamed, so loudly that Ron ran down from his bedroom.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Dean and Luna are engaged!" Ginny shouted. "Let me see the ring!" Luna showed her.

"Oh my!" Ginny exclaimed. "It's huge! Well done, Dean!"

"You and Dean are engaged!?" Ron asked, amazed. "Congratulations! Wow, so many engagements! I just got over Hannah and Neville's!"

"Oh yeah," Harry said to Ron. "Can I see the invitation by the way?"

"Yeah sure," Ron answered. "Accio wedding invitation!" They heard a door bang open and they saw a piece of paper soar down the stairs and into Ron's hand, which he gave to Harry.

To: The Weasley's and Harry Potter

From: Neville Longbottom and Hannah Abbot

We would like to cordially invite you to the Longbottom/Abbot wedding on Saturday 13th December at 6pm.

We do hope that you can attend. This is the address:

No. 7,

Harley Avenue,

Barton Hall

Kings Cross

London

All our love: Neville Longbottom and Hannah Abbot

When Harry had read the invitation, he looked at Ron.

"So, are you going?" he asked him.

"Of course!" Ron answered. "Why would I miss old Neville getting married, eh?" Harry felt dazed. This situation was so bizarre. Dean and Luna? Neville and Hannah? Engaged? It wasn't fair. It should be him and Ginny getting engaged. Luna looked so happy.

"Anyway," Luna went on. "Ginny, I have something else to ask you."

"What?" Ginny asked, sitting down.

"Well," Luna said, slowly. "Dean and I are getting married on January 15th."

"And?" Ginny urged her.

"And," Luna continued. "I want you to be my maid of honour." There was a long pause. Ginny was so surprised, that she wasn't even blinking.

"Ginny?" Ron said, waving a hand in front of her face.

"Oh my goodness!" Ginny whispered. "I'd love to! I can't believe you'd even ask me! Oh Luna!" Ginny rose to give her hug. Ron raised his eyebrows.

"Are girls always this dramatic?" he asked. Harry, with years of knowing Hermione and Ginny, was positive that the answer was yes.

"So," Ginny asked, as she calmed down. "Who's Dean's best man?"

"Seamus," Luna answered.

"Thought so!" Ginny laughed.

"Anyway," Luna said, looking at her watch. "I have to go. Dean will be wondering where I am. See you all at the wedding." And with a crack she Disapparated. Ron stared at the place where Luna was standing.

"Don't either of you find it really weird to see Luna acting...well, kind of normal?" Ron asked. "I don't really like it to be honest. It just doesn't feel like Luna."

"Aah!" Ginny said, coyly. "But wait till we go to her wedding!"

"Why?" Ron asked. "Is she planning some sort of weird "Luna-ish" thing?"

"Well, she didn't say anything to me yet. But of course she is, she's Luna!"

"Oh, by the way" Ron started. "Hermione's coming back tomorrow. She sent me an owl."

"OK," Ginny replied, as Ron made his way back up the stairs. Harry walked over to Ginny, who had now resumed her writing.

"Ginny?" he asked.

"Yeah," she said, not looking up from what she was doing.

"Are you happy?" Ginny finally stopped writing, put down her quill and turned around in her chair to face him.

"Of course I'm happy! I've got everything I've ever wanted for eight years! Why, would you think I'm not?"

"Well, no, I thought you were. But, it's just that when I saw Luna today she was telling me about all these engagements, and I was just thinking about you and whhether you were getting what you wanted."

"Of course it's what I want, but that's in the future. I'm happy the way things are going right now! When Harry said nothing, Ginny went on.

"Of course I'm going to marry you some day. I love you, Harry."

"I love you too." Ginny got off her chair and kissed Harry.

"And just so you know," she said, as they finally broke apart. "I've never been happier."
