what do you see? 🍒 nuna.

five.

Walking out of the room, in hand a bag full of knuts, and two in her pocket she stepped to the front of the pub and jumped up on top of the bars counter. She cleared her throat.

"Erm..... ehem...." the whole pub turned and looked at her. She searched the crowd for Neville and Luna. She saw Neville sitting at a table, lost in thought and Luna just feet away looking out a broken window. She rolled her eyes.

"Right, um... hi guys! We, well Harry, Ron and I all just wanted to thank you all for coming, it really means a lot. Such a significant thing happened six years ago today and I'm happy to say we are all standing here, well and alive."

A laugh sounded around the room and she smiled as a deep blush rose to her chest. She looked again to see that Neville and Luna were now paying attention.

"Well, without further ado, let us get the party started!" All of sudden trays of drinks began floating around the room and party streamers and confetti burst around the room. Hermione reached inside the bag and started throwing the knuts. Everyone jumped for them and began grabbing them.

Everyone cheered and laughed. Hermione quickly jumped down from the table and ran over to where Neville sadly sat.

"Hey Neville! So happy your still here! Here, do me a favor and hold that!" She said placing the knut in his hand and hurrying off. Neville just looked at it dumbfoundedly.

"Wait? Wha-" but she was already gone. He sighed and placed it on the table in front of him.

Hermione ran over to the delirious Luna who was picking the confetti and streamers off of the tables and weaving them into her hair.

"Luna! There you are! Hey, do me a favor and hold on tightly to this and don't loose it or give it away!" She said. Luna just looked at her and smiled. She opened her mouth to say something but Hermione walked away before she got caught up in an idiotic conversation.

She walked up to Harry and Ron as they watched people scramble to grab the remaining coins on the floor.

"You made sure those two you had weren't charmed?" Harry asked. She smiled and nodded her head.

"Harry, when have I ever been so unsure!?" Harry laughed.

"Are we ready?" Ron asked. He didn't like the idea, but bloody hell with it.

"Oh yes, in five minutes, cue the music. I have to send out the mass message." She hurried away to the girls loo and began to type a message on the knut she had.

Exactly five minutes later, a slow song came on and everyone in the room reached inside their pockets, for a burning knut was in there. Looking at the knut closely, it read;

Grab a dance partner! Anyone except Neville or Luna! Now!

Like in a trance, everyone scrambled for a dance partner.

Watching the weird display, Neville sat their confused. Everyone was dancing all of a sudden but him and to his surprise and embarrassment Luna.

Harry walked over to him. "Hey, it's kind of a mandatory dance, so..... I guess go find someone." He said. Neville wrinkled his nose.

"What!?" Harry patted him on the shoulder and walked away. Neville looked at his form slide onto the crowded dance floor. He scanned the crowd. Harry was dancing with Cho, Ron and Hermione were dancing, Madame Pomphrey was dancing, or at least trying to dance with Flitwick, Madame Sprout was dancing with Hagrid, and Minerva with Slughorn. It was a strange sight to take in. Scanning the room some more for an open window to hopefully dance with someone else, he saw no one.

He looked around him until he met the icy soft blue eyes of Luna. She was looking at him in a sort of peculiar way. He gulped and looked quickly away. Blushing madly, he sratched the back of his head in frustration.

"Just do it you big scaredy cat!" He yelled at himself. He took a deep breath and walked over to Luna with shaking legs. He felt like a little dog with his tail in between his legs, his head hanging low as embarrassment creeped up to his chest which turned quickly into anxiety. He couldn't believe he was going to do it.
