Author's Note: Sorry for the shortness of the chapter. I should hopefully have another one done later today. I will try to get at least one chapter a week done and uploaded. Reviews, thoughts and suggestions are always appreciated!

The bells jingled overhead as Harriet entered Gladrag's and she was greeted by a familiar face. It was Amelia, the sales clerk who had helped her the day before. "Hello Miss Potter," Amelia said before stopping and noticing that Harriet had been crying. "Is everything alright?" Harriet nodded, "Yeah. I'm alright I guess. Just everyone left this morning, including Luna."

"Is that the young lady you were with yesterday? You two did seem awfully close." Harriet nodded again. "I'm sorry my dear. Maybe we can find her a nice present as long as you're hear. How does that sound?"

"Yes please. That is why I stopped by. Thank you."

"Did you have anything specific in mind?"

"Not really. She has a unique taste though. She likes flowers and colors. Things that are different and bright."

"I've got just the thing give me one second." With that she disappeared and reappeared a second later. She held up a knee-length rainbow dress where the colors shimmered occasionally on their own.

"That's beautiful and perfect. She'll love it. I'll take it. Thank you! You always seems to know what's just right for people."

"I do seem to have a certain knack for it. Plus it is my job after all."

On the way to the register Harriet noticed a beautiful thestral necklace that would be perfect for Luna. She picked up the necklace and placed it with the dress on the counter.

"Oh that's a good choice. You're not so bad at picking things out yourself."

Harriet smiled, "I think it fits her perfectly."

After making her purchases, Harriet picked up a couple extra bottles of butterbeer to go and headed back towards Hogwarts in a better mood than she had been in just a little while ago. She couldn't wait to see Luna's face when she opened her gifts.

As she opened the door to the Gryffindor common room following her trek back from Hogsmeade, she found Ron and Hermione snogging on the couch by the fireplace. Both had been startled by the opening of the portrait and looked rather embarrassed.

"Don't stop on my account," remarked Harriet with a smile at how embarrassed they looked.

"Sorry mate. Wasn't sure when you'd be back. We were just…er…" trailed Ron.

"I saw what you were doing. You two are in a relationship. None of my business. Just know they are more private places than the common room," replied Harriet with a wink.

Hermione, quick to change the subject, asked Harriet about the bag she was holding. "Didn't we just go there yesterday? Have an urge for more clothes? We make a woman out of you yet!"

Harriet blushed. "It's not for me. It's a Christmas gift for Luna. I picked it up while I was out."

"Merlin's beard! You've sure got it bad for her mate," exclaimed Ron.

"Like you're any better," Harriet retorted.

They all laughed, knowing that they all had it, the fabled love bug as it were but they were enjoying it immensely and seeing their friends happy made them even happier. It was almost infectious.

Harriet sat down on a chair next to the fireplace, letting the couple have the couch to themselves, and set her bag down next to her when she noticed it was slightly glowing. She reached into her bag and pulled out the special journal that Luna had given her. The Gryffindor symbol was glowing which means that Luna had sent a note.

"What's that," Ron asked

"It's a journal that Luna gave me. It allows us to write back and forth. When the symbol glows it means that she has written something and when I write something and close the book hers does the same thing."

"That's amazing. It must've taken quite a bit of spell work," observed Hermione.

Harriet opened her journal and found a bunch of random drawings of Nargles, crumple horned snorkacks and in the center of it all was a big heart with Harriet & Luna written inside it and flowery vines wrapping around it which caused Harriet to smile.

"What did she say," asked Hermione, "Unless it's private then don't tell us."

Harriet held up the drawings and showed them all the while smiling like an idiot. "Looks like we're not the only ones who have got it bad," commented Ron. Harriet put down the notebook as she penned a response.

I love your drawings my dear. They are absolutely wonderful. My favorite part is the heart because you're always in mine.

With that she drew a heart that said Luna & Harriet in the middle and closed the book, sending the message to her recipient wherever she may be.
