Set after The Deathly Hallows
Perfect, compatible, fitting.
It was what they were together. It was what everyone said about them. They completed each other.
Luna Lovegood, the dreamer.
Despite her strangeness, she was beautiful, in an odd way. In the way her shaggy blond hair hung, with her protuberant silvery grey eyes, which were almost always dreamily distracted, and her dreamy voice which always seemed to attract you. Often seen wearing odd pieces of jewelry, such as a necklace made out of butterbeer corks and radish earings, she makes the pieces fit and match, making her image even more stunning.
Luna Lovegood is a simple girl. She's open minded and unique. She is open about her beliefs. She's intelligent, hence being sorted into Ravenclaw. She tells the truth, no matter how bluntly she does so. She's a level headed girl. She can remain calm even in the most unusual situations and comfort others during them. She's a brave girl with unusual skill. She doesn't care about what other people think of her, she's not afraid of danger, she'll try anything, she's fearless.
Harry Potter, the boy who lived.
All Harry Potter had ever wanted was to be normal like any other person. But, no, he had been marked by prophecies, chased by dark wizards, and had come near to death more than once. Harry had very pronounced features, with his jet black, messy hair, and his brilliant green eyes, he was an unmistakable sight.
Harry has always displayed tremendous bravery and strength. He's unafraid and stands up for himself and those that he loves. He'll go to great lengths and take great risks to protect the innocent; he is marked by his friends for having a 'saving people thing'. As you can see, his greatest strength is his ability to love. Fiercely loyal, love is how he has survived so far.
At first glance, Luna seems content and happy with her life regardless of her dottiness. But deep down, there's something she craves, something she's never had before, someone to complete and prefect her. She's been alone, drowning in her loneness. Even if she's been of capable putting on a brave face and being tough, it doesn't change the fact that she needs another person to look out for her, a someone she has never had. Luna has never been aware of this craving until she met him, him who made her whole.
She's always been trying, trying to figure out what part of her had been missing. The more she searches, the more frustrated and dottier she becomes. It's madness, becoming more and more 'loony', not knowing what was wrong with her. She had no idea that it was something so simple that had she been missing. She was on the road to insanity before she met him, he had fixed her, ending her frustration, fixing her forever.
You would have to be completely blind if you thought that Harry Potter was a content kid. There had been a fragment of someone else stuck inside him, this piece of an outsider's soul had caused him to have strange actions, actions that he had been unable to explain. He was already broken inside, despite his bravery and skill. He had nightmares because of his encounters with the dark and evil. You may think that this is the reason he was miserable, but you are sadly mistaken. My friend, this is just the beginning.
Even when this part of him had been killed, he was still broken. He is a boy that has suffered too many losses that a boy his age should. Losing his parents, and later on the closest thing he had to a parent, losing a person that had guided and taught him, losing so many close and loved friends. His soul had been damaged because of all the losses. Because there were so many losses, he needed a gain, a huge gain, a gain being someone to fix and someone to look out for. And, when fixed this person, this person would fix him back.
Luna and Harry have fixed each other. Harry saving Luna from drowning in her loneness, Luna taking him out of the misery of all the loses he has suffered. They had always been close, been able to comfort each other. This is why they are perfect for each other, because of Luna, Harry is no longer dark and twisty and because of Harry, Luna is no longer dotty and strange.
They are the perfect match.
