Fuming

It would probably be the only time in anybody's life that they would have seen Luna Lovegood red-faced and with hands on her hips. It was almost non-existent for her to get angry, but as she stood in the Hog's Head, staring at the elderly owner, she had never been angrier in her life.

"Aberforth Dumbledore!" she said sternly. "What in the good name of Merlin have you been doing all this time?"

Aberforth had the dignity to look ashamed as he looked around the messy pub.

"How on earth do you expect to keep a business if you keep it in this state?" She lifted up the mat at the front entrance and three cockroaches dashed away.

"I've been busy," Aberforth mumbled, polishing a glass.

"Doing what?" Luna demanded.

The man blushed. "I've been… well…." He wasn't sure what to say.

Luna sighed. "Well," she huffed, "I think you need some help. Consider me hired."

The old man grinned. "Exactly what I've been waiting for!"

Luna's eyes narrowed. He'd have to get used to this sudden bossy nature she had found. But he liked it, he did. It brought life to her he hadn't known she possessed.

A kind of… attractiveness.
