Luna Lovegood sulked for the remainder of the train ride, all the attention that had been on her due to her major transformation over the summer was gone in a flash when the cat-girl came into the compartment. After a few minutes of listening to the girl's inane chatter about herself, Luna had fired up her iPod and turned to the latest Panic! at the Disco single. She had been planning on using the train ride to flirt with Ron, which was hard when everyone was marveling at Noraneko.
When the Hogwarts Express slowed to a stop, Luna quickly put her iPod back in her purse and left the compartment. After getting off the train and giving a small, inconspicuous wave to Hagrid, she pulled her luggage towards the carriage area.
In past years, Luna had spent quite a bit of time petting and talking to the Thestrals, because as ugly as the animals were, they still deserved love, but this was the kind of behaviour that led the other students to make fun of her, especially since only a few could even see them, and that simply wouldn't do for this year. Instead, Luna sought out Colin Creevey, a boy who she knew had had a crush on her in previous years.
"Hi Luna! Wow! You look great! What did you do to yourself? How was your summer?!" Luna turned around and he was leaning against a wall, surrounded by luggage and looking excited to see her.
"Oh, hi Colin, it's great to see you too. I had a wonderful summer, I went to the gym a lot, and shopping. How was yours? Did you take a lot of pictures?" Luna replied coolly.
"I sure did! Some you would really be interested in! I'll have to show you sometime!"
"Definitely," Luna said, inching ever closer to him, "do you have them with you? Maybe I could come up to your room sometime and you could show me." By this time she had pressed herself right up against him, and while he looked confused, he didn't look as though he didn't want her there. She kissed him, and he fumbled clumsily to rest his hands on her hips.
"Wow Luna," Colin breathed, "I've wanted to do that for a long time!" He leaned towards her and kissed her again, with more urgency.
"I've wanted to do more than that," Luna smiled, "Let's go." She pulled him into a carriage and shut the door, he was going to get a lot more use out of his camera this year…
