Okay so this is the first Lumione fic I've done and it's the first fic I have written in a while, which makes me feel horrible for my readers a thousand apologies, I hope you like it, there will be more, please review!.

Hermione was cozied up by the lake, watching the waves lap at the shore, her homework long forgotten, laid next to her. She sighed, her chin in her hand at she pondered the reason she was out here again. She, of course, knew the answer, but couldn't quite understand it. The boys were certainly starting to worry, unsure if they should try and figure out her mood, or just leave her alone, they found themselves choosing the latter most of the time. That suited Hermione just fine, she really didn't like when the boys would worry about her, Harry had much better things to worry about, between his meetings with Dumbledore and the grief from losing Sirius, he needed all his mental strength for himself. Ron was just a dense, well boy, he tended to just go along with whatever Harry was doing.

Hermione found herself laying back, stretched out as she watched the sky darken, she knew that she needed to be getting back inside, being a Prefect and all she would be setting a bad example. At that moment, she didn't care, she was too lost in her thoughts.

She's one of my best friends and she's a girl..I shouldn't be feeling like this..so why do I? Why is this so complicated to figure out? She's so beautiful, so different from myself. Everything about her screams unique..oh why can't she be mine...wait..stop that thinking right now! Come on Hermione, pull your self together, it' just Luna..beautiful, beautiful Luna. "Damnit! This is so frustrating!" She yelled as she sat up, raking a hand through her hair.

"What's frustrating?" She heard a voice, a soft, dreamy, horribly familiar voice. She froze, her hand half way through her hair, eyes wide. "Hermione, are you alright?" Luna asked, moving to sit next to the bushy brunette.

Hermione sighed and moved her hand to her face, rubbing it for a moment before she answered "I'm just fine Luna, thank you" She said softly, slowly, like she was picking her words carefully before speaking a syllable. This of course was true, because she often found herself losing restraint over her tongue when the blonde was around.

"You don't seem fine, you can tell me what's wrong, you know I'm here for you" Luna smiled her dreamy little smile, her blue orbs shining in the fading light. She chewed her lip slightly as she observed her friend, unsure how to help, but she knew she wanted to.

Hermione sighed softly and shook her head "Don't worry about it, I'll be fine" She said and got up, bending over to pick up her things. "I need to be heading back, I have rounds to do and you should be going too, you don't want to be caught in the corridors after hours" She said, straightening up when she had everything situated in her bag which she unceremoniously slung over her shoulder. She turned to leave, but found herself being held back by a soft yet strong grip on her wrist.

"What is it Luna, I really must be.." She never got to finish the sentence for her lips were silenced by the younger girl's. At first Hermione resisted, but she couldn't help but melt into the kiss, she had wanted this for so long and her body responded before she could even think.

"I think that may have solved your problem" Luna said quietly, a coy smile playing on her lips, Hermione's odd behavior had not gone unnoticed by the blonde and she figured out she must be the cause of it, for Hermione only seemed to act that way when Luna was around. "Catch you around, Hermione" Luna winked before pecking the older girl's cheek and skipping off toward the castle.

Hermione stood there, shell shocked "What the hell just happened?" She muttered and shook her head, running a hand through her wild locks as she started toward the castle. She ws in a daze as she walked up to Gryffindor tower and completely ignored the boys, going up the the girls dormitories. She deposited her bag, straightened out her Prefect's pin and headed back down. This time she waved to the boys before leaving the Common Room, heading to her duties. Normally Ron would have joined her but by the time he had thought about it, Hermione was already gone.

She finished her rounds still in a slight daze, but that didn't stop her from chewing out a pair of Hufflepuffs and docking points for being out at night. After a while she found herself climbing the stair case the lead toward the Ravenclaw dorms. Curiously enough she didn't stop until she reached the door, frustrated when it spewed out a riddle.

"A cowboy rode into town on his horse, Friday, stayed for three days and then left on Friday, how is that possible?" The door asked in a low voice. Hermione furrowed her brow as she thought, it's impossible for him to come and stay for three days and still leave on the same day. She paced as she thought and heard the door sigh in boredom.

"That's impossible! It just can't happen!" She denounced, her eyes a blaze as she glared at the door. The door announced that she was wrong and to go away. She turned away growling in frustration, not noticing the body behind her until she ran into it. "Bloody hell" She murmured, picking herself off the floor.

"Why, Hermione, what brings you up to the Ravenclaw tower?" Luna asked, smiling as she brushed herself off. When the brunette didn't reply Luna simply shrugged and walked up to the door. She listened to the same riddle it had given Hermione and smiled "The horse's name was Friday" She stated simply, Hermione snorted but was abashed when the door opened. "Are you going to come in or had you just come up here for the sport of trying to figure out a simple riddle?" She asked the older girl, teasing her a bit.

Hermione snorted again and turned on her heel, stomping down the steps. Luna watched and shook her head with a knowing smile.
