Chapter 2: Luna Lovegood
"So Harry, did you get my owl?" Ginny asked atentively.
"Of course I did Ginny! I didn't get chance to reply Kingsley and Dumbledore arrived as soon as I got my quill out I guessed you would understand" he replied moving closer to her.
The conversation was flowing nicely, especially since there was so much going on in Harry's life which is exciting for once nothing usually happens in our lives, it's great to see such excitement and happiness. I'm proud I'm there friend, I wouldn't swap them for anything. Not for the world. I sat next to Fred, as I would normally, and as normal he put his arm around me I placed my head on his shoulders. Ron and Harry looked at each other, Ron shrugged but Harry just smiled, I could tell what was going on in there sick and twisted minds. I gave a quick grin to Harry, who's smile is always nice to see.
It drew near to midnight, and we all departed to our rooms, me and Ginny giggleing at Ron who just comes out with the randomest things, I guess thats the attraction of Ron, his hair - a beautiful urban ginger colour his eyes a sparkling emerald green colour and then theres his amazing personality, I just wouldn't see him any different, to the way I do now. A funny, kind and gentle boy.
Who is clever when he wants to be. As for Fred though, we are just mates and Harry and Ron know that, but it can be easily mislead.
I got into bed and I curled up into the normal position that makes me comfortable. I closed my eyes and as I did, pictures of everyone crept into my dreams especially the time I had with Fred at the back of the Burrow. I woke up the next morning to see, Freds face in the room.
"Wake up lazies" he said smiling
"Why do you always do this Fredrick?" Ginny asked
I laughed, I couldn't help it I love it when they argue, it makes me feel more at home, I have no idea why though. I also love it when they call each other by there full names, Fredrick, Ronald, Ginerva, Billius, Charles, me and Harry only have Mione and HP to shorten our names to.
As I got up I walked down stairs to see charmed paper birds all over the place. Don't get me wrong they are beautiful, but there must have been over a hundred of them.
"George?" I said,"I thought you were going to slow down on the tree usage!" I laughed,only cause I had never heard Mr Weasley laugh before, I honestly felt quiet proud. We all went into the kitchen, where we eat our breakfast and read the Daily Prophet and this weeks Quibbler that Luna normally sends. It's actually very interesting, mad, but interesting.
After we had finished our breakfast, I helped Mrs Weasley put everything away. I decided to ask Luna, if she'd like to meet up as me and Harry were at the Weasleys house, which is very close to Luna's. She replied quiet quickly, asking if we would all like to go round for tea, I told Mr And Mrs Weasley,
and they agreed, as long as they could help Xenophilus with everything, as he was very shaky when it comes to the cooking and cleaning. He's a very brave man though, he fought the Death Eaters and braved all his beliefs. He inspired me.
It was about 12 o clock when we started walking to Luna's house. Even though they are next door neighbours they both live in the counrtyside and there aren't any houses for a long time, we had walked about half a mile before we came insight with the Lovegood's house. Then it was just a quick walk down the pathand we were there. I walked with Ginny and Harry, Ron was far too busy joking around with Fred and George. I liked it this way, Mr and Mrs Weasley, far in front of us with a gift for them. We had walked past lots of odd fruit before we reached the door which was already open for us as always. We walked in Mr Lovegood was standing at the window, I guessed he was watching for Luna, who was always down by the little river looking for other odd creatures. Me and Ginny said Hello to Xenophilus and he told us she'd be down by the river, so we went to look for her.
"Luna!" I shouted and as her beautiful blonde wavy hair turned we saw her, she was standing in the river, her trousers rolled up just below her knee, she always wore beautiful hand made clothing, she was very creative. She made me and Ginny a 'Nargle charm necklace' it was light blue and had a sort of cork at the bottom, it keeps the Nargles away from causing you trouble or harm.
"Oh hello there Ginny Mione, wasn't expecting you to come down here with me!" she said sweetly.
"Yes, we knew you would be down here" Ginny replied giving her a hug.
"Well this proves how much you know me," she answered turning to give me a hug.
We joined her in the shallow part of the river, and before long Ron Harry and the twins came down. "Luna!" Harry said, Harry and Luna were almost like brother and sister, we all were but in different ways.
"Oh hello Harry," she said giving him a hug, and shaking hands with Ron, as they always do.
"Luna, Percy is getting married tomorrow, and we wondered if you would like to come, your dads told us to ask you if you wanted to go, they said it'll be alright for you to stop round ours tonight, you're dad will come if you are, and it will be a good day!" Ron said.
"oh sure that will be fun, and it will be lovely to see what Penelope is wearing,"she replied excitidly.
We all walked back up towards Lunas house were we found Mrs Weasley and Mr Lovegood in the kitchen preparing the food, and Mr Weasley entranced into what looked like a muggle artifact book "Dinner will be 10 minutes dears," Mrs Weasley said smiling and cutting some kind of vegetable up.
"Luna, how about me and Ginny help you choose what dress to wear?" I asked intentively,
"Sure" she replied, sounding half asleep half awake.
We went up into her room, it had changed quiet a lot since last year, at the top of the slanted ceiling were hand drawn pictures of me Ginny Ron Neville Harry and the Twins and in gold ink underneath written at least a thousand times the word 'Friends'. Luna opened up her wardrobe and placed at least 30 dresses on her bed, after ten minutes of looking through them all she decided to take three, a light blue short dress, which match her Nargle charm necklace, a bright yellow dress which almost looked like a daffodil and a really pretty white dress with blue ribbon and lace, the two blue dresses would go really well for the wedding.
She also brought quiet a few shoes out, three so she could wear one to bed one to the wedding and a pair to walk in.
Mrs Weasley called us down for tea, it was really nice, and we all ate everything, even Ginny who hardly eats anything. After that me and Luna helped tidy everything away, we packed Lunas numerous amount of clothing and headed to the Burrow. Mr Weasley and Mr Lovegood stayed behind, as they told us they'd catch up later.
We were all up the den, excited about the wedding. We made a plan to all go as couples, Harry and Ginny, Ron and Lavender(who was coming round tomorrow for the wedding)Luna and George and me and Fred. It was so exciting to think that there was a really good wedding going on, and I had bought the perfect dress. It was getting really late now.
When I woke up the next morning, we were all still in the den, its not the first time this has happened. Luna me and Ginny lying next to each other, me on Freds lap. Ron and Harry were in the weirdest of postions, and George, well, we wont mention the state he was in. ,
It was just after eight o clock everyone else woke up and came down stairs to see Percy, Penelope, Charlie, Bill and Fleur all sitting around in the kitchen.
Me and Harry heard rumours that Lupin, Sirius, Professor Snape, Kingsley and a few other people were coming to the wedding, I asked Penelope to see the guestlist and of course she let me. Sure enough they had accepted along with Tonks, Dumbledore, Lucious, Cornileus Fudge, many Weasley cousins, Penelope's family and friends and a few famous wizards like Aberforth and Newt scymander.
It was just after breakfast everyone started getting ready we were all told to wear something blue, Luna wore her white dress with blue ribbon and lace, Ginny borrowed Lunas other dress, the boys were given blue ties and handkacheifs to wear and I wore this blue dress that was made for me at a small muggle company,
that was white on top but flared out into a pale blue and getting gradually darker. We added more blue things to Lunas dress as she looked too much like the bride,
I gave her a blue and silver necklace and hairband, and Ginny and Mrs Weasley brought out loads of pale blue things, A bag, earrings, three blue bracelets a blue stone ring and a pair of other really nice blue shoes. I honestly really am jealous of how gorgeous she is, her beautiful blonde wavy hair, perfectly compliments her blue eyes.
It was drawing closer and closer to the wedding ceromony, but first everyone had to arrive at the Burrow first and help put the Party tent up as this normally takes fifty wizards, Tonks lupin and Sirius arived first followed shortly by everyone else. Me and Ginny went to see how Penelope was doing she looked so stunning.
The time had come and we were all sitting on our row just behind Mr Weasley Mrs Weasley Bill And Charlie And Fleur.
The wedding was a great success I started speaking to one of there older cousins, who studdied at Beauxbatons with Fleur, and thats how Fleur and Bill met.
She was nice, Rose Weasley.
We all decided to go up to bed a little earlier today and we decided to go and get our school stuff for it was only weeks away. We said goodnight to everybody, and Luna stayed with us. Then we went to bed.
