Luna's Birthday!
Who: Luna, Dominic, Dean - any other friends of Luna welcome
What: Birthday celebrations
Where: Dominic's flat
When: Wednesday afternoon / evening
Rating: SFW

Though they'd been in the same Hogwart's House, Dominic didn't know Luna particularly well - which made planning a birthday surprise for her a little bit challenging. Never one to back down in the face of a difficult task, Dominic had asked around and tried to remember all that he'd seen of Luna. He had an idea she liked painting and since Dean, the only person Dominic knew to invite, was also an artist he figured he couldn't go far wrong with that. The Roost was booked at lunchtime and for choir in the evening, so he'd chosen to set things up in his own spare room. The actual implementation hadn't been that hard. White muggle wallpaper (the drying process hurried along with a few choice spells) with 'Happy Birthday Luna' written across the far wall in dark blue glitter. There were art supplies - both muggle and magical - piled strategically in a corner and even three aprons.

After lunch, Dominic went looking for Luna. They hadn't arranged a time or a place but given how much she'd been working lately, he hoped it wouldn't be too difficult to find her.

Relieved that his idea wasn't putting Luna out by making her shut up shop, Dominic smiled and offered her his arm. He apparated them immediately into his flat - right in front of the door to his spare room (study, workshop, experimental space - he could never quite decide what to call it). The door was shut so that Luna would get the full effect of the birthday message when she opened it. Let it never be said Dominic had no flair for presentation. "Go on," he said, gesturing to the door. "I didn't get you a present so this is it." He smiled again, because he did have some idea of shrinking down whatever the end result of the art-making was and sending it to her.

He didn't mention that he thought Dean was coming later. He knew through Seamus that sometimes Dean got caught up in his work and forgot to turn up to things. Dominic didn't want to promise Luna he'd be there if he ended up forgetting.

Taking his arm, Luna let him apparate them to his flat, glad that they weren't going to have to walk a long way. It had been a pretty long day. Oh. A surprise. She smiled and then opened the door with a bit of a flourish. Inside she was quite happily surprised. "Oh that's lovely. Thank you, Dominic. Really. That's brilliant. I've never really had a birthday party before." Even if it was just the two of the three of them. It was good enough for her. She was just glad one person had remembered.

Leaning over, she kissed his cheek. "Really thank you. I appreciate it."
