“hey, drao!”
drao jumped up, sping luna’s shoulders.
“you didn’t tell anyone, did you?”

“you know what i’m talking about,” he hissed.
“i do,” she shrugged, her lips strething into a smile. “but it’s nie seeing you being passionate. you’re usually so stiff.”
drao gaped at her. “holy, you’re the weirdest perso,” he muttered.
“oh, thank you.”
drao kept gaping at her as she took her seat and ordered a lemonade.
“do you waanding? i think it would be muh better to have this oion sitting down, you know.”

out of the orner of his eyes, he saw luna nodding, her expressioially serious.
“you’ve been through a lot,” she said.

“it’s i, drao,” she ied him. “like i said, you’ve haook another sip of her lemonade, her eyes suddenly twinkling. “that’s what i waalk about.” drao raised an eyebrow. “i want to help.”
“what?”
“i’d like to volunteer.”
“but…aren’t you busy with the quibbler?”
luna shrugged. “yeah, but i’ve got eime and i’d rather do somethih it. uhink i’m not qualified?”
“um…that depends.” drao leared his throat. “what did you have in mind?”
“oh, i’ve got lots of ideas,” luna eximed, leaning forward. “i’d really like to teah the kids about all different kinds of magial reatures and muggle animals. i’ve been doing a l and it’s fasinating. oh, and i also thought it might be really ool to do some muggle baking with them. hermione showed me and it’s so muh more fun than our way. oh, oh, and i was thinking about swimming lessons and some muggle sports!”
