She was late according to the watch on her wrist, though Luna didn't really think the watch could quite be trusted. It had stopped nearly a year and a half ago and she'd never found the time to get it fixed, but it did sparkle oh-so-prettily in spite of leaving her stuck perpetually at one-thirty-seven post meridian.
She was fresh off the Knight Bus only an hour after a return to the UK and it showed, her long hair tousled and held back from her face with sunglasses, her pink plastic, knee-high go-go boots just a bit muddy at the base, her denim shorts dusty. She carried (well, dragged) her duffel bag along behind her, wincing a bit every time she hit a bump and hoping none of the souvenirs inside were broken.
Eastern Europe had been interesting. She'd spent her summer interviewing loads of interesting people, from vampire and werewolf victims to their families to a few werewolves and vampires themselves, gathering information for the book she hoped to release within the next year whether the current Ministry liked it or not. If she couldn't get it published here then she would go somewhere else, her father had not raised her to hide or be ashamed of the truth.
"DADDY," she screamed elegantly as she stepped inside the black, rook-shaped house just outside the boundaries of Ottery St. Catchpole, shoving the duffel bag aside and looking around her home for the first time since June. Nothing had really changed, of course, and she could hear the comforting sounds of the printing press and even smell the ink. "I'M HOME!"
