A Brewing Storm
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Chapter 1: Sudden Storm
The scene was perfect beyond belief. The soft sunlight, dappled as it filtered through the leaves of the large tree, fell in shafts across two young faces.
The boy, in his early twenties was handsome in a rather rugged way. He had untidy, coal black hair and sharp green eyes, currently closed peacefully. The girl looked slightly younger and could not have been more different from the boy whom she was rested against. Her white-blonde hair fell languidly over one shoulder while her periwinkle eyes gazed up at her partner with the strange, relaxed intensity of the truly happy.
The names of the two were; one Harry Potter and one Luna Lovegood. They were on top of a slight hill in the countryside of Black Forest. A cluster of young oaks and elms grew around the base of the hillock but they did not obscure the beautiful view that stretched for miles over the deserted countryside.
"Beautiful, isn't it Harry?" Luna asked her dozing partner.
"Hmmm." came the response, sleepy, not quite there.
Luna turned her gaze to the view, giving up on her drowsy friend. 'Hmmm' did this view no justice, flat forest stretched far out until it came to an abrupt stop at the distant ocean. The sparkling sea, writhing and churning, oblivious to the two young lovers who sat in its awe.
"Harry?" Blue eyes turned to face their closed counterparts, "I think we should head off soon, there are some dark clouds gathering in the North and you know that nargles prefer the wet weather."
Green opened and found blue, affection and laughter shining within them.
"We'd better go then, we don't want to be caught in the storm." Harry leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on his lover's velvet cheek.
Luna, tempted, turned her head and caught his lips, all the while, threading her fingers through his soft hair, warmed by the sunlight. She then deepened the kiss, her lithe tongue swiping at his lower lip, asking for entrance, which he freely gave.
After a short but sweet battle for dominance, Luna gave herself up to the target of her affections and allowed Harry to explore the seemingly endless cavern of her mouth.
She tasted sweet, like the ripe raspberries that she had such a fondness for. He would never grow tired of the way she kissed him as if it was their first and last, throwing all caution to the wind with a wild abandon she betrayed only when truly angry. He had only ever seen her in that state once before, when Voldemort had threatened her entire way of life.
Luna was so tempted to continue, further and further with reckless abandon but a thunderclap sounded over head.
"That was quick," Harry remarked breaking their kiss, "we'd better get a move on." Reluctantly, he dragged his gaze upwards, towards the furtive, roiling clouds above.
"Oh, Harry, those clouds came ever-so fast, it must have been the nargles, using their arcane magic to drag them closer. You know, it's rumoured that these forests are crawling with nargles and erumpets. I just wish we had the time to study and explore them further." Luna gazed out, across the land before them, now growing darker by the second as the clouds moved ever closer until, abruptly, the storm was upon them.
Please read and review, I'd like to know what you think.
Next chapter will be longer, I was just itching to get this one out there!
A.N. Yes, I know Luna's last name is Lovegood but that was taken so I had to change it.
