Pebbles

A child was seen in the water, scrambling about aimlessly amongst the pebbles and rocks which carpeted the bottom of the river.

Two people sat on the waters edge, smiling and nudging each other. One foot splashed the other, and so on. They never seemed to grow tired of it.

The little girl stood up, and let the hem of her dress go. It hovered just above the water, at the perfect length. She waved happily at her parents and took a step backwards. The water deepened there, and the girl fell into it, soaking her dress.

"Luna! Are you okay?" the woman asked, sitting up anxiously.

Her husband pulled her back, "She's fine, she'll learn from this."

Luna smiled at her parents, as her head bobbed above the water. She didn't care that her clothing was soaked, or that her hair was now wet and sandy. She knelt in the water and ran her fingers through the pebbles.

An old woman came across Luna's path. She sat rigidly in the water, clutching her knees. Afraid and cold.

Luna's parents watched as their daughter began to converse with the old woman. Soon the two were swimming side by side, exchanging stones and talking as if they had been friends for ages.

It was a funny sight, for those who saw it; an old woman and a young child interacting.

Eventually, Luna rose from the water, soaked and happy. Her family soon left and as they did the old woman waved to Luna, a definite smile on her wrinkled face.

Authors Notes: Sorry for not updating in so long! Haven't had that much time on the internet, and school, ect, has been invading my life a bit. Exams next week and after that, I'll hopefully not be quite as busy. With school all the time I haven't been writing fanfiction, but that will hopefully change soon! I did write a fic in April which will be uploaded sometime within the next week, and I also have to write a fic for a Harry/Luna fic exchange, which is due very soon.

As for Silvery Clouds, I really don't know what's happening with it…writers block, urgh.

So…yesh, I decided to add one of the drabbles I wrote ages ago anyway. About this drabble… Well, I wrote it in…February I think. I was at a river and was watching the people in the water. At one point I saw this old woman, looking miserable just sitting there. A little girl came along and soon they were interacting and the woman was smiling. I thought it was so sweet, these two strangers with such a large age difference talking and playing in the water. It reminded me of Luna, because she would do that, in the place of the child. So I based this drabble on that, and dedicate it to the young girl and the old woman. Hope you enjoyed it.

Next will be whichever drabble I haven't yet posted and is saved on my computer…hopefully not too long until it's here, this time!
