Description
The game was supposed to be of fifty questions but Luna couldn't seem to concentrate on the game long enough to even reach ten. So five was the amount that it ended on. She loved this game, but she seemed to save it for special occasions, especially his birthday, in hopes of getting him off guard so he'd end up saying just what he wanted for a gift. Technically, she only asked three questions as two of them were asked every time she played this game.

Twirling her wand in her bowl of macaroni cheese, she nudged his elbow, "What was your first plant?"

"A dandelion. Gran was furious when she came out the door and saw that the whole yard was filled with them. Guess that's when I found out my love for gardening and Herbology."

"Do you love me?"

"Do you have to ask?"

"What's your wish?"

"For another Mimbus. Maybe I could breed the second one with something else. I'd do it on the one I have but it's such a rare plant…"

"What color are the Nargle's wings?"

"White."

"They're a pale blue."

"Maybe they're so pale that they look white."

"One day I'm going to say 'pale blue' just to throw you off."

That earned him another nudge, but just as playful as the one before.

"What would you name a child?"

That caught him off guard watching her closely he shrugged. "Dunno. Probably something with a good, strong name."

"Like?"

"Well…" He stopped and pointed his finger at her, "That counts as one of your five, you know."

Luna nodded, freely giving up her last question.

He smiled, she had been known to cheat and go past her five before.

"After mum or dad. Frank. Or maybe Alice. I think they'd like that."

Luna took his hand, kissing him on the cheek before putting her dishes in the sink and leaving the room.

He called after her. "Hey, you didn't ask what I wanted for my birthday this year."

"I already know what to get you."

Neville frowned slightly, "What…." His eyes lit up and he ran to catch up with her. This year's gift was to be far better than another Mimbus any day.
