Ginny boarded the Hogwarts Express for the first time, dragging her luggage behind her, and couldn't seem to find a seat. She knew Ron wouldn't want her to sit with him, Percy would lecture her about school rules the whole time, and while Fred and George would be happy to have her, they were most likely doing something illegal with their friends that she didn't want to witness. Having lived at the Burrow her whole life out in the middle of nowhere, she hadn't had much of a chance to make friends outside her family. But soon she came to a compartment empty except for a small, blonde-haired girl staring off into space that she recognized as Luna, who lived with her odd father just a few hills over from the Burrow. Ginny knocked on the compartment door and shyly asked Luna if she could sit with her. Luna welcomed her in graciously and asked Ginny if she too could see the Nargles floating in front of them, or if she herself was going crazy. Ginny could tell immediately that it was the beginning of a long and quite strange friendship between the two.
