After my encounter with the peculiar Mrs Scamander, I had to shake my head. I would never admit it to anyone, because I can hardly admit to myself, but I have always liked Luna. Well, I don’t know if like is the right word. I have always found her interesting, though. Even in our school days, I never felt any animosity toward her. I’ve never really thought of her except for a passing notice of her eccentricities. Tonight, however, I am gobsmacked by the things that she just said. Could it be true? There’s only one way to find out. I have to find my wife.

Ah, there she is, walking my way. She does look like she’s glowing somewhat. I haven’t really noticed until now. I grab her arm gently as she reaches me.

“Astoria, darling, may I have a word?”

She looks at me, a bit startled, but she acquiesces and we walk to a quiet corner.

“What is this about, Draco?” She furrows her brow in worry. I have to take a moment as I catch my breath. There are many lovely witches here tonight, but my wife is beyond that. She is quite breathtaking to be honest.

“Draco? You have something you wish to speak with me about?”

“I just had the strangest conversation with Luna a moment ago. She mentioned something about a Bumble Plum necklace and a wreath of humbugs.”

Astoria actually giggled at me. “Oh, you are so adorable. Darling, she gave me a Dirigible Plum necklace, and the wreath is to keep Blibbering Humdingers away,” she said matter-of-factly.

“Be that as it may,” I said, gritting my teeth, “is there something you need to tell me?”

She just smiled and winked before walking back into the crowd, giving me a nice view of her derriere. Did she just wiggle her hips? Minx.

I suddenly feel like I'm floating on a cloud. Then my eyes grow wide as something has just occurred to me, and I run to catch up with my wife. Before I reach her, I call out in a bit of a panic, "Astoria, have you had that necklace tested?"
