Luna spent a relaxing morning with her father. He'd helped her on her charms assignment that was due sometime next week, and she watched him as he worked in his office. They'd made lunch together and she caught him up on everything she'd hadn't owled, and he did the same. He had a meeting for the afternoon, so Luna had arranged to visit Grimmauld Place while he was out, so she'd not spend any time away from him that she didn't need to. They talked about Christmas a little, too, as it was coming up. Luna couldn't wait- she'd spent Christmas last year in the Malfoy's basement, and she had missed their family traditions terribly. She suggested to Daddy that they start some sort of new tradition this year, to go along with the new house, and the agreed to think on it and report back with ideas.
Luna already had a few ideas, but there wasn't any time to write them down- it was time to floo over to Grimmauld Place. She smiled to herself, rinsing out her cup of tea that had been cooling in front of her at the kitchen table since her dad had left with a kiss and a 'I'll be back tonight.' Maybe she'd make him dinner as a surprise before he got back.
She took a handful of floo powder then, a bit of it sticking to her hand where it had gotten wet from the sink, and stepped into the floo. "Number 12, Grimmauld Place!" she called out, and stepped out a moment later, to find Hermione sitting at the kitchen table to greet her. Luna smiled broadly and brushed the powder off on her shirt before crossing the kitchen to greet Hermione with a big hug. "Hi! How are you?"
