Ginny had come to pick up her friend before Bill's wedding. She had invited her to keep her company, as Ron and Hermione were rather busy lately.

Luna's father knocked on the door and told his daughter that Ginny was waiting for her.

"I'll be right out!" came the muffled response from inside. After a minute of thuds, crashes, and yelps, Luna emerged from her room. Her hair was done up beautifully in a pile of ringlets on the top of her head, and sparkled in the light. She had even put on some lipstick and mascara. Her dress robes, on the other hand were not as exuberant as usual and slightly dishevelled, as if she had just thrown them on. Which, Ginny thought, was probably not far from the truth.
