The war was over. It was the happiest day of Luna's young years. Of all of the things that had happened that year –being taken by the ministry and all…- the only thing she wanted to do was go back to school and learn.
She had not known until then that the thing she was most looking forward to was seeing one person in particular.
Neville Longbottom.
Everyone who participated in the war was in the great hall, laughing and crying at the same time. Luna slowly looked around, searching for Neville's tall, skinny body.
Finally she found him and ran to him, long yellow hair flying behind her.
"Neville!" She yelled in her soft, dreamy voice. Neville shouted her name in return. They ran into each other's arms and did a little spin at the same time. The sixth and seventh year were both speechless for a second, wondering what would happen if one of them had lost the other.
"I'm so glad you're safe!" Neville whispered quietly in her ear.
"Neville, come with me. I think we need to be alone right now," Luna proposed and Neville agreed.
They walked through the familiar corridors of Hogwarts into the Ravenclaw common room, even though Neville was not from the Ravenclaw house, it sounded like a good place to be alone.
At first they did not know what to say to each other. There was an awkward silence until Luna started talking.
"I don't know what I would have done if you di-" she said.
"I know," Neville interrupted. "I fell the same way. Luna,"
"Yes?" she asked anxiously. She thought she knew what he was going to ask and she hoped she was right.
"Do..do you love me?" he asked hesitantly.
"Oh yes Neville!" Luna flung her tiny body into his and squeezed him so tightly that Neville couldn't breathe. Out of self protection Neville took hold of her shoulders and they both looked straight into each other's eyes lovingly.
As if in a trance, they edged closer and closer.
"Sorry" Luna muttered. Neville answered with a slurred "It's okay."
Closer and closer their lips moved into each other until they were interlocked in a kiss.
Luna closed her eyes, trying to savor the moment, but something was wrong.
Her eyes flung open. She saw that Neville's were still closed, but his eyes were scrunched up in a weird expression like something was wrong, and she knew that they were both thinking the same thing.
They were never meant for each other.

A/N: Yes, I know, it wasn't that good but it's the best I got. Most of you are thinking that it doesn't matter if the kiss is good or not and I totally agree with you but I saw this challenge and thought that it was a good idea because it has been confirmed by JK Rowling that Neville and Luna did NOT stay together.
