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.

"Hey, Luna. Happy Birthday!" he said, his smile becoming a little more genuine. "And you're my friend, of course I'm going to come when there's a party. Or, you know, try to come. And since I'm not busy..." he trailed off from his rambling with a little shrug. He'd been looking forward to coming, but his 'conversation' with Ophelia had taken the shine off the idea slightly.

"I have a present for you here," he said, slipping a present bag out of the bag he usually carried with him. "I, er, wouldn't be too rough with it," he said, handing the white bag covered in multicolour balloon print over. The jars were all spelled unbreakable, but it was still possible the tops would snap open.

"Aw thank you. I'm glad that you're here and not busy," she said genuinely. Now maybe poor Dominic didn't have to spend so much time with her. She glanced down at the bag and blushed slightly. "You didn't have to get me anything. All right, I'll be gentle." Quite carefully she opened up the bag to see what was inside. Jars of things.

"Thank you, Dean. That's very nice of you. I really appreciate it." Maybe this wasn't such a bad birthday after all.

	Dean shrugged. "It's not much, the paint was from my supply, but I thought you might like the fun stuff to look at even if you don't have painting time," he said. She could discover the earrings for herself. "So, did Dominic set something fun up?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's great. I hope I get some painting time. That would be nice." Spotting something else in the package, her eyes lit up. "Oh my goodness. Those are brilliant. Thank you!" she liked them so much, she went right on to put on her earrings. They were fantastic. "Well he set something up. I'm sure it's great. Maybe there's cake."

Luna's delight at the earrings made Dean grin, some of the tension he had been carrying since he left the studio falling away. "I'm glad you like them, I wasn't sure." He hadn't been totally sure Luna still liked vegetable-based jewellery.

"I hope there's cake! Birthdays should always involve cake of some sort," he said. "Shall we head back in?" he asked, gesturing into the flat.

	With a bright grin, Luna nodded and lead the way back inside to find Dominic. (Reply to this) (Parent)
