"I still can't believe you got Hagrid to send us on this wild-diricawl chase," Pansy grumbled, stumbling over a tree root and catching herself on the trunk before she'd managed to land face-first into the mud. "Gulping Plimpies, for Salazar's sake! Even he can't think those actually exist!"

Luna held out a steadying hand and patted her arm reassuringly. "No, but he likes to indulge me. He's had a bit of a soft spot ever since I started helping with the thestrals in fourth year."

"Luna," Pansy started warily, wanting desperately to smooth over any unintentional offence her words might've caused. It was a frequent occurrence these days, with Luna next to her—making her want to soften her jagged edges, so anyone allowed close wouldn't catch and tear and hurt. "I know you consider all these creatures real—"

"Oh, I know there are no Gulping Plimpies," Luna laughed, bright and tinkling. "I just thought a little Forest picnic with you sounded nice."

She took a shrunken basket out of her pocket and had it enlarged and spread out with a wave of her wand. Winking, she pulled an incredulous Pansy down to her lips, effectively cutting off all protests.
