Chapter 126: Invitation

Harry stumbled upon a familiar blonde on his way for dinner.

"Hello, Harry Potter." Luna looked at him with her usual distracted demeanor.

"Hey, Luna. Are you going to the Hall?"

She nodded.

"Then, do you want to accompany me?, you can sit at the Gryffindor table." Harry offered.

"Is that really okay? I don't want to cause you trouble, Harry Potter."

"Is no trouble, and call me Harry. All my friends call me that. "

"Is this a date?, because Daddy told me to at least wait until next year for those." Luna gave him an intense glare.

"No...and he should have told you to wait much longer than that...." Harry sighed.

'What are you thinking, Xenos?'

"That's okay then." Luna got closer to him and waited.

He realized she was waiting for him to walk.

" Let's go then."

When the duo entered the Great Hall, the place was almost full.

A lot of the students at the Gryffindor table stared at them when he brought Luna and had her sit between him and Lyra.

"Harry, that girl is from Ravenclaw..." Hermione whispered to him.

"And you think I didn't notice that?...." Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Luna!" Ginny called.

"Harry, she can't be here. You are going to get her in trouble." Lyra told him.

"Did none of you read the rules book?" Harry asked with incredulity.

"I did!" Hermione looked offended at the mere insinuation.

"Are you going to open it here?" Hermione asked.

"No," Harry said dryly. He had just wanted to eat in peace, and now he had to deal with this.

"Come on, you have to open it! I want to know what's inside!" Ron shouted.

"That fabric looks like a good quality silk," Parvati said as she ran her fingers over its surface.

"This has to be something expensive," Lavender commented.

"Could it be from mom and dad?" Lyra asked.

"That would make no sense. We are going home for Christmas in two weeks. If they wanted to give me a present, it could wait." said Harry.

"There is only one way to know. " Ginny said. She was obviously very curious too.

"Fine..." Harry went to rip the fabric to shreds when he was stopped by Parvati.

"Don't break it, you brute. Let me open it." She took his hands away and carefully removed the cloth, revealing a box made of some highly polished dark wood.

"What a beautiful box." Lyra pointed out.

"There is a mark on the top," Hermione said.

"Wait, that symbol!. I know that one!." Ron shouted.

A beautifully decorated N was on top of the box, next to it was a white note.

"That's a Nimbus," Fred observed.

"Not just any Nimbus, look at the number," George added.

The number 2001 can be seen next to the letter N.

" A 2001?!, it just came out today!," Angelina exclaimed.

"Someone must really like you, Harry." Alicia whistle.

"The sender placed a note." Lavender pointed at the piece of paper.

Harry took the note aside and opened the box.

A brand new Nimbus 2001 was resting inside. Its wood was glistening and its runes were so shiny that it almost looked alive.

Lots of "Ohh" and "Ahhh" could be heard on the table.

"Harry, that's an incredibly expensive gift...who sent you that?" There was a hint of concern in Lyras's voice.

Even at her age, she was taught that people who send you expensive things, is usually because they expect something big in return.

"What does the note say?." Asked Ginny.

"This is an invitation to a birthday party at the end of the year." Harry glanced at the name and it all made sense now.

"From who?" Asked Hermione.

"Pansy Parkinson," Harry said.
