Warnings:No warnings yet.

I don't know when it days passed by I caught myself more often staring at the Griffindor house table at breakfast,lunchtime and dinner. Since he was a year in front of me,meaning 7th class now,we didn't have lessons together. But at mealtimes I'd always see him. And if he noticed me looking at him,he'd turn around and give me a smile made me turn slightly red,but I usually managed to smile. He would rise a hand to wave at me,holding up the fake galleon which we had used a year ago for meetings in the DA. But now we didn't need them anymore. McGonagall had been our headmistress ever since,and she had provided a room for us to try out new spells.

However,I felt like the lessons passed slow,too slow. I tried to listen to the teachers,but my mind kept wandering to the brave boy at the Griffindor table.

„Hello Luna!",I turned around,looking into the face of a fellow Ravenclaw.

Padma Patil smiled at me,"Can I sit down here?"

„Of course!",I answered eagerly."Will you go to Hogsmeade tomorrow,Padma?"

„?",she followed my gaze and a wide grin spread on her face.

„I don't know.I don't have anything to do there.I'd rather work out on my essay on Dragons."

„Luna!",his voice almost made me jump,I felt my face getting hot.

„Neville!",I stumbled,somehow my voice seemed to have faded in the last minute. Neville gave me a smile that made my heart melt. He crouched down beside the bench,so his eyes were at the same level as mine.

„Sorry to interrupt.",his soft voice sounded so awesome,Padma shrugged and muttered something about it isn't a problem. "I wanted to ask you if you want to come to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow,Luna."

I gasped and hastily nodded,"Of course,I'd be delighted!"

„Alright,then I'll see you tomorrow.",his eyes widened and another huge grin appeared on his waved and went back to the Griffindor table.

I watched him sit down and bend to Harry,apparently to tell him something. Ron's eyes widened in surprise,then he gave Neville an idiotic grin,Hermione hit him with her ellbow. Then she continued her conversation with Parvati. Neville had changed so much since I got to know him. At first he had been shy,not knowing what to say. The lessons with the DA had strengthened him,he had grown to be as brave as you'd expect from a Griffindor. I saw him practice even alone after the DA lessons,when I went to the Ravenclaw common room,which was on the corridor where the empty classroom he had practiced in was.

Also he had lost weight,had grown a few inches and fine muscles were visible between his lighter bright green eyes reflected the star covered sky ceiling from above.

Padma tugged at my sleeve,"Luna!"

Confused I turned back to her and raised my eyebrows.

„Time to go sleep,I think!",Padma smiled and stood up. I followed right after,tugging my bag and hanging it over my shoulder. When I passed the Griffindor table Ginny reached out to pull me down to her.

„Awesome Luna,awesome!",she said,her voice full of joy,her face delighted.

I started to smile,which resulted in a chuckle and then in a exited laugh. Ginny laughed too,"Your face is as red as the raddishes hanging from your ears!"

„Those are dirigible plums! To enhance the ability to accept the extraordinary to the wearer!",I protested and tugged at the plums hanging from my ears.

Ginny laughed and gave me a small hug,"Ok,Luna."

Neville looked up,our eyes met. Then I looked down into Ginny's eyes again,excusing myself with going to sleep. On the corridor I met the nearly headless Nick,the ghost of stood there floating in the air,talking to one of the pictures on the wall.

„Nick,Nick!",I strode over to him and he turned to face me,his head dangerously tangling,as if it was to fall down any second. He turned around to face me,an angry expression on his face.

„Good evening Luna.",he greeted me.

„Good evening Nick.",I answered."What do you think should I wear tomorrow?I mean I'm going to Hogsmeade and.."

„Oh yes yes..you may take off those..raddishes.."

I sighed and nodded slowly,he waved at me and floated towards the wall,through which he faded. I continued my way to one of the highest towers,answering the question from the doorknocker eagle I reached the common room. It was empty,nearly everyone was asleep or still at the great hall. I decided to take a shower. As the warm water ran over my skin I thought about had asked me to go with him to Hogsmeade,well that wasn't too uncommon. We had been around each other a lot in the DA. But this time it seemed diffrent to me. Maybe he only wanted to talk to me,well of course,if he asked me to go with him. But Ginny haven't seemed to be coming too or she would have said something about it,at least I thought so. So many Buts. My fingers wandered across my body,spreading soap all over it,I imagined it could be Neville's fingers,which made blood flush into my face again. I smiled into the mirror,which was attached to the wall in front of me.


Later,as I lay in my bed my thoughts still circled around the light haired boy with the green eyes and the amazing smile. Deciding not to wear my dirigible plums the next day I rolled over yet again. After a while I finally fell asleep.

I hope you liked it,soon to be updated!R!
