Finally, there was a clear sky being reported by the ever faithful celling of the great hall, just the wispiest of fluff clouds floating in midair over a smooth blue color. Ginny had not been out to fly in a great while, not that the weather was always a deterrent, but time wasn't always a thing she had a great deal of. Lately Michael seemed to be particularly clingy and although she found him to be pleasant to pass the time with, she did not feel what she thought should after dating for this amount of time. Flying would be a great distraction from all of that, thoughts of Luna included.
She clutched her broom to her side as she made her way into a seat at the long Gryffindor table. Her Weasley red hair she'd kept lose today, although that never really assisted her when flying, so she knew that soon enough it would be constricted into a plait or a pony tail, and this was how she realized that for whatever reason she was sitting next to Luna Lovegood and the other girl was taking this particular moment to push her hair back behind her ear.
"I wanted to see what you were thinking; it's all in the eyes you see." Luna explained, but seemed particularly interested in whatever liquid she was drinking out of the goblet she suddenly clutched in her delicate fingers.
"And what is it I'm thinking then?" Ginny countered back a bit amused, although equally taken by delighted surprise at the unexpected contact.
Luna smiled in that way that held so much mystery to Ginny, one of the reasons she wanted to get to know this girl a bit better.
"Well it's changed now then hasn't it?" Her voice was soft, and Ginny wondered what could be compared to it before blinking, as Luna had continued to speak.
"I would have thought of course that you were wondering what I might be doing at the Gryffindor table, yet then I'd have no answer for you besides I thought a change of view might be spectacular." She shrugged and sipped her drink again before her eyes slid lazily back to Ginny's.
"I did wonder, yet am not surprised. I am sure you are more than welcome here Luna, whenever it suits you. I know it is from me at least." Ginny attempted a nonchalant voice. Luna wanted to be friends, just friends Ginny.
"You are going to fly today, how lovely. I'm not particularly fond of flying myself, but I do think it is a pleasant thing to watch sometimes." Luna spoke in that dreamy way she did the one that made Ginny pay more attention to her lips then the words spoken.
"Well you could come today if you liked, although my one woman show wouldn't be as impressive as a quiddich match by far." Ginny carefully cut her breakfast ham into smaller and smaller pieces, seeing what the other girl might say to that.
"I should think that might be a nice way to spend the morning." Luna said in a matter of fact way, and Ginny felt her stomach do some kind of dance inside her. Oh Merlin.
