Chapter Sixteen-Proposals. What's Next, Kids?

Luna's POV:

I stared at myself in the long mirror. Neville, Blaise, and Harry had invited me, Astoria, and Ginny on a date. It was a normal date, they said, except it would have three couples. So they had invited us on a triple date. I secretly questioned their motives but said nothing to them aloud. What if they had been infected by crumple-horned snorcacks?! When many people were in love, they tended to appear.

I look at myself in the large mirror in my room. Astoria and Ginny had come over so we could prepare for the triple date.

"Is this really necessary?" I ask Astoria who's doing Ginny's hair.

"Yes!" She exclaims, brushing a strand of Ginny's hair out of her face. "They told us to look nice!"

"GIRLS!" I hear Neville yell from downstairs. "ARE YOU ALMOST READY!?"

"WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR LIKE FIFTEEN MINUTES!" Blaise adds.

"YES WE'RE ALMOST READY! YOU'RE THE ONES WHO SAID TO LOOK NICE!" Astoria snaps, finishing Ginny's hair.

"THIS IS YOUR OWN FAULT! NEXT TIME, LET US KNOW EARLIER!" Ginny appends.

I turn back to the mirror. I'm wearing a tie-dye dress that goes down to above my knees. It's a halter top and backless. It hugs my torso with ruffles and flares out below my waist, the silky fabric flowing smoothly. I look up at my face. Ginny's given me a mixture of greens, oranges, pinks, violets, and greys to create a tie-dye look. My lips are a shiny and bright pink, the colour of a stubborn-hoofed florfie! I took a step back but stumbled. I sighed, Astoria made me wear four-inch silver heels! I feel something on my shoulder but I smile. They were just the radish earrings that I've always adored! And I mean, who couldn't!? They were so adorable!

Ginny stands up. She's wearing a beautiful and simple maroon dress. It's plain maroon with no details, but at the same time, it's so sophisticated. It's strapless so it's pretty tight around her bodice. She wore a black leather belt with a lion on it that created contrast. Lion earrings dangled from her ears. She had a red and black smokey eye and dark red lipstick. She completed the looked with blacks flats. Why does she get flats when I have heels? I questioned silently.

"HURRY UP!" Harry screeched. "PLEASE!" He adds, probably horrified of what would have happened if he had't.

Not wanting to wait any longer, I tell Astoria that I'm going to go. "They've been waiting for a while, I'd really like to see Neville," I explain.

"One second..." Astoria murmurs. She's wearing a Slytherin Green cocktail dress. It's super tight and hugs her body, showing off her curves. She had black eyeshadow on with silver sparkles on the inner corner. She had blood-red lips and black pumps. "Ready!" She declares.

I loop my arm through Astoria and Ginny's and skip down the stairs. When our dates see us, their jaws drop.

"Oh," Harry says, open-mouthed.

"My-" Neville comments.

"God." Blaise finishes.

I blush and walk over to Neville. "Hey," I give him a toothy grin. I look over him. He's wearing a grey suit and a red tie. It sort of matches my dress. Then again, he's a Gryffindor so he may just be showing house pride...

Even though just a couple weeks ago I hadn't loved him, I quickly realized that I did. He protected me, no matter what. He was with me when I soared, but he didn't leave me when I fell. He always looked out for me, no matter what others said.

"You look...beautiful." He whispered, taking my hand. "Shall we?" He waves his hand at the door.

I giggled. "We shall!"
