Her face glowed softly under the thick shroud of hair, curls toppled down over her cheeks. Luna watched thoughtfully, drinking in every movement: the way she reached her hand to push back a thick curl, the way she cradled her chin in boredom. Luna sat, fork in hand but no longer wanting food. She only wished for the one thing she never could obtain. Hermione, oh how the name graced her very lips touching them for even just an instance momentarily satisfied her longing.
Hermione took a long glug of her milk leaving a white moustache on her upper lip. Luna stared not even noticing the slight imperfection; completely focused on her beauty. Hermione glanced over from her seat at the Gryffindor table; catching sight of Luna and noticing her stare. Hermione blushed and quickly reached up wiping away the milk residue. Luna quickly averted her gaze, not wanting to be noticed staring at the sweet girl. Luna covered her face with a hand, turning her head to two first- years that were stuffing their faces with eggs and glistening slices of bacon. She sighed and peeked through her hand to take a quick glance at Hermione. And there she was, as beautiful as ever chatting with her constant companions Harry and Ron. Luna grumbled to herself as she slid out of her seat, pushing away her unfinished sausages.
Luna pushed away a loose strand of hair as she walked quite briskly to the Ravenclaw Common Room. She hopped quickly up the stairs while chewing on a fingernail; contemplating how she would tell Hermione what she felt. Luna had decided over a week ago that she couldn't go on like this. Secretly lusting over one of her closet friends at Hogwarts. It would have to come out sometime and she didn't know how much longer she could stand; holding on to this secret. Luna reached the common room just in time to realize that she had left her purse down in the Great Hall.
"Not again!" Luna groused to herself receiving several side-ways glances from two Ravenclaw girls who had just exited the common room. Luna pushed back a lock of hair that had tumbled in front of her eyes and strode away from the girls who were now whispering amongst themselves.
Luna marched down the long hall that lead to The Great Hall; keeping her eyes glued to the slabs of stone the composed the sleek floor. Luna turned sharply onto another hall; glancing up only long enough to see the form before she collided into it. A thick tuft of hair and slim legs slammed into her, knocking them both onto the ground.
"Oh!" Hermione gasped as she reached to her bum, rubbing it tenderly.
"Hermione, I'm so sorry" Luna sighed reaching down to gather the contents of her bag. Hermione looked up a dazed look plastered on her face.
"Oh, I'm fine Luna. Don't worry about me." She reached a hand up towards to Luna. "Could you help me up?"
Luna smiled down at Hermione "Sure" and took hold of her hand dragging her up to a standing position. Hermione dusted off her skirt and stooped down to scoop up her bag.
"I'm sorry, I just wasn't looking I guess" Luna admitted sheepishly, not wanting to look her in the eyes.
"Don't worry yourself Luna." Hermione slung the satchel over her shoulder and touched Luna's blushing cheek gingerly. Luna's heart skipped several beats and her blush reddened even deeper. Hermione let her smooth palm fall down to her side, frowning slightly.
"Hermione I've been meaning to tell you something…" Luna started, her mouth feeling parched. She swallowed and said "It's about how I feel." Luna kept her gaze anchored at Hermione's feet.
"Mhm, well go ahead Luna." Hermione urged, shuffling uncomfortably.
"Well, the truth is Hermione." Luna paused, an unsure look spreading over her face "Well, I think that I care for you." Luna shyly met Hermione's gaze, checking to make sure she wasn't horrified by the very thought.
"I'm not sure that I understand Luna. I mean I care for you too." Hermione stuttered, looking quite confused. Luna looked into her eyes, searching for a way to explain herself.
"No Hermione. I think that I might love you…" Luna's eyes teared up uncontrollably. Luna looked at Hermione waiting for her to run away, or shout out in disgust. Hermione reached out a delicate hand and wiped away a lone tear that was streaking down Luna's cheek. She smiled encouragingly
"I know exactly how you feel Luna." Hermione cupped Luna ashen cheek in her hand, tipping it up so that she would meet her gaze. "I know exactly." Hermione took Luna's hand in her own and tugged her down the hall. When Luna struggled against Hermione's hold she looked back tightening her grip "Come on… Don't you trust me?" She smiled devilishly as she pulled her newfound love down the hall.
Luna's heart thumped against her ribs, her breath quickening. Hermione traced Luna's jaw with her poised index finger. Hermione smiled and leaned in to kiss Luna softly. Luna shut her eyes, feeling Hermione's velvety lips intertwine with her own. Luna gasped for air as Hermione grasped her cheeks pulling her deeper into the kiss. Luna mimicked Hermione's movements, weaving her tongue in and out of her mouth. Hermione kissed her hungrily, taking sharp breaths in between embraces. Luna laced her hands behind Hermione's neck, tipping her head to the side, allowing Hermione to decorate her skin with kisses. She sighed in ecstasy as Hermione linked her arms around her and licked delicately at Luna's skin. Luna tilted her head back letting Hermione make her way over her flesh.
There was a loud bang at the entrance to the bathroom. Hermione gasped, startled and peered over her shoulder to see who had entered.
"I think that maybe we should continue this later" breathed Hermione touching lips to the crown of Luna's head.
"What?!" Luna whispered quickly, but Hermione simply squeezed her hand and released her hold; strolling away silently. Luna followed the angel until she vanished from eyesight. Luna sighed and bent to pick up her bags and headed to the door. She smiled to herself; she had never felt this amount of pleasure.
"Why hello Miss Lovegood. So nice of you to join us." Drawled Professor Snape, lifting a blood red leaf to the lip of a bubbling cauldron. "Would you like to explain to me where you have been?" he released the quivering leaf, letting it float down into the black liquid.
"I'm sorry Professor; I was examining the lines in my hand. I think that I might have some sort of disease." Luna said plainly. Professor Snape stared at the slight girl, pondering what she had said.
"I do believe Miss Lovegood, that everyone has those." He reached up to his forehead and motioned for her to come closer and join the class that was gathered around his cauldron. There were a few titters as Luna came foreword. Luna looked at her peers blankly, and then found the one face that she was longing to see again. Hermione stood close to Snape peering over his shoulder at his actions. She stopped and scrawled furiously into a small notebook that she held balanced on her forearm. Hermione glanced up at Luna and smiled quickly before immersing herself back into the lecture. Luna observed Hermione, bathing in her beauty, giggling to herself when she raised her eyebrows in an animated way, sighing with lust at every rise and fall of her chest.
"Alright, you are dismissed class" Snape said in a monotone snarl. Luna gathered her books, slinging them into her bag and then skipped up to Hermione who was also gathering her things.
"I'm here to redeem my rain-check" Luna smiled at Hermione and began helping her gather her quills.
"Oh really?" Hermione asked calmly "Well then I do suppose that I will have to give it to you."
Luna rushed to gather the splayed quills and ink jars, her heart already beating like the wings of a small bird. Hermione finished and placed the bag on her delicate shoulder, motioning for Luna to follow her.
The two girls collapsed in giggles onto the floor in front of Professor McGonagall's office. It was late, after hours; all of the other students and teachers had returned to their dormitories. Hermione reached out and tucked a loose hair behind Luna's ear, then bent down kissing her chest with passion. Breathing in her scent, not ever wanting to forget.
"Hermione" Luna breathed heavily "Not here, someone might see." Luna grasped Hermione's hand as she looked up. Luna looked around searching for a place that they wouldn't be disturbed. Then Hermione took Luna by the hand leading her into the office and shutting the door softly behind them.
Luna looked around the small office, noticing McGonagall's notes, her unfinished tea that was resting on the desk, and a breathtaking rug that looked softer than snow. Hermione came up behind Luna, wrapping her arms around the girl's tiny waist. Luna turned around in Hermione's grasp, locking her hands behind her neck. Hermione kissed Luna, combing her hands through Luna's golden locks. Luna kissed Hermione with force, pulling her closer. They stepped back, resting against the wall of the office; Hermione ran her hands down Luna's back, sending shivers through her body. Hermione slid her hands under Luna's thick woolen sweater. Luna stretched her hands up to the sky as Hermione guided the sweater off, leaving her small and exposed. Hermione ran her hands along Luna's expanse as she kissed her passionately. Luna placed her hands on Hermione's hips, pressing her down to the floor. And there she laid the one girl who Luna would never forget, an angel against McGonagall's intricate rug. Luna kneeled down, looming over Hermione as she kissed the girl's neck softly. Luna slowly unbuttoned Hermione's shirt, gathering it in a bundle and tossing on the ground. She bent again kissing Hermione's collar bone and making her way down to Hermione's stomach. Her skin glowed dimly in the moonlight; the glow guided Luna, planting kisses on her chest, down to her navel. Hermione reached down and shimmied off her skirt. Luna stared eyes large "Hermione" she paused embarrassed "I don't know how…" Hermione smiled and pushed Luna to the floor
"Well then I'll just have to teach you." Hermione licked at Luna tenderly, painting her love over Luna's body. She stopped at Luna's stomach and grinned devilishly as she slid Luna's skirt out from under her. Luna giggled nervously, but forgot her nerves as Hermione bent over, working her way down. She slid off Luna's plain underpants, leaving her bare flesh. Luna blushed violently as Hermione positioned Luna's legs and touched her pink flesh. Hermione stooped over Luna pressing her fingertips against Luna's clitoris, rubbing gently, watching in pleasure as Luna gripped onto the rug, biting her lip. Luna let out a small moan as Hermione slid one finger into her, rubbing her with the other hand. Luna's breathing quickened, and she gasped sharply at Hermione's touch. Hermione continued to descend upon her love, running the tip of her tongue against Luna's firm clitoris. Stopping briefly to watch Luna's reaction. When she saw Luna's eyes shut and her chest heaving with pleasure, she continued; sliding just the tip of her stiffened tongue into her. Luna arched her back and let out a satisfied moan. Hermione stroked Luna's opening with her tongue then replaced her fingers inside. Moving slowly at first and then quickening, making her moves unpredictable to the panting girl. Massaging her until Luna arched her back once more and lifted her head from the ground, moaning loudly then collapsing onto the ground; slowing her quick intakes of air. Hermione crawled over Luna's heaving mass, smiling happily, and then leaned in for a kiss. Luna smiled weakly, sweat beads decorating her forehead, then she reached up to stroke Hermione's arm
"I love you" Luna whispered delighted. Hermione simply nodded and lay next to Luna, cradling her with her body.
"I love you Luna…" Hermione combed her fingers through Luna's velvety hair, as she nodded off to sleep a soft smile remaining on her lips.
