"Even if you don't find what you went out looking for, there are other things out there waiting to be discovered. You never know what you might find." He shrugged. "Sometimes. My mother's family has vinyards in France. I go there every now and then to ride horses or thestrals. I'm too bloody big for winged horses unless I run a team, though. And they have the usual farm animals there. Dragons were interesting, but like a lot of things in the wizarding world, there was a lot of politics involved in who got promoted, instead of the welfare of the dragons being primary. That part I don't miss. I kept my healing wand, though. If you ever need an extra hand, I wouldn't be against doing a little pro bono work for you."
"Parents want to be grandparents for some reason. Mum wasn't interested in hearing that as long as we live, there was plenty of time for that. But I guess I've been mostly alone since the war. I have my work, and broom racing. Well, you knew Anna - she was that Claw a few years ahead of you I was seeing - I still miss her every day, regret all the things that can never be now." He gathered himself in before the conversation took a serious maudlin turn.
"You'll always have friends, Luna. Now, I didn't know you hadn't been getting out on lots of dates. Something must be wrong with the young men in London. I mean, I know a lot of the Hufflepuffs are gay, and I'd suspected the same of a lot of the Slytherins, but I never thought nobody's been asking you out. Tell you what. A lot of the social functions I get asked to for work, I'm supposed to bring what they call a 'plus one'. A polite euphanism for members of the fairer sex that are supposed to keep the event from degenerating into just another business meeting. If you'd like, and if I know the crowd won't bore the socks off of you, I can give you a call and see if you'd like to go. Might meet a whole different group of people that way."
He smiled. "And some of the bouncing around I do, if you just want to get away for a while, you've seen how I travel, I can take you just about any place you'd like for a little vacation. Even leave you a portkey if you like so you can get home on your own."
