Where was Luna? Mr. Lovegood had called her, but she'd not come down yet.

He'd sort of expected her to answer the door. In his mind, not that he'd been thinking too much about this, he had come to the door, Luna had been there, smiling and looking nice in that way she always did, and he had met her father. The meeting had consisted of his waving and saying 'nice to meet you, Mr. Lovegood' while not sounding like an idiot. Then Mr. Lovegood had shaken his hand and then they'd left. In his mind, it had all gone down in about a minute.

There hadn't been tea, or sitting, or talking, or Luna not even in the room.

Greg shifted in his seat, trying not to squirm or sweat at all. Mr. Lovegood really seemed like a nice bloke, very friendly and, well, Luna-like in some ways. And he wasn't looking like he wanted to hex Greg for taking Luna out, or for being a Death Eater's son.

It was still weird. This was Luna's father, who had wanted to meet him. Greg cleared his throat and nodded, his hand jolting slightly against the cup and saucer as Mr ( ... )

"Thank you," Luna smiled brightly again, looking briefly down at her dress. Daddy had done well, getting it altered, she thought, and wiggled her toes in her ballet shoes. She looked back up when he presented her the corsage of snapdragons ( ... )

A bit clumsily, he slipped the corsage onto Luna's wrist. It was so small, he realised, shifting as his finger brushed against her skin on accident. So much smaller than his own, and delicate, sort of. "Didn't know; no," he told her when he'd finished, "they just sort of looked like you."

He paused. "I mean, not like they look like you. Just, sort of seemed like your thing."

"Anyway. I could Apparate us both, 'f you want," he said quickly, in answer to her question. He glanced down at her when they got outside and she linked her arm through his. Was kind of nice.

"Okay," he told her, "ready? Haven't been there before, so 'm just going to take us to Diagon." He shut his eyes then, and focused.

Luna watched him as his fingers lingered on her wrist. "Well, they're quite pretty, so I guess it'd be okay if you said they looked like me."

"Yes, do go ahead," she said, stepping a bit closer as she wasn't sure if he'd ever side-along Apparated anyone, looking back once more to smile at her dad, who was watching from the window. He probably simply needed to gather his equipment before he flooed to the Morgana. "I've never been there, either."

He Apparated them to Diagon Alley, and she opened her eyes and took a step back from him, still keeping her arm in his. She hoped he didn't mind. "Looks like we're not too far," she said, motioning to a few groups of well-dressed wizards heading in the opposite direction. She kicked a pepple and smiled faintly, feeling nearly giddy. "Shall we?"
