You barely missed the entire year of school instead of the Hogwarts Express, your body sweaty and out of breath when you managed to board, but by that time most of the cabins were already full. Passing by several looking to a place to seat you hear the same thing: busy, check other.

After walking through the train for a bit - and after saying hi to Harry, Ron and Hermione too - you end up seeing a waving hand at the end of the corridor.

It was Luna's hand. There was no way not to recognize the arm decorated with colorfull bracelets.

Approaching that booth, she was there smiling and patting the seat next to her, "I see you're a little late, but you know, what matters is the journey, not the destination."

Luna was always like this, exotic, different, and strangely positive at times. It was good to meet someone like that. Especially in difficult times like these...

"I made you a gift this summer..." , she says handing you a necklace of pebbles and hippogriff feathers.
