"Neville, c'mon," Luna whispered quietly, giggling. "I have something amazing to show you."

He was still half asleep as he laid on the couch in the common room where he'd fallen asleep studying. He mumbled something under his breath, and as he realized who was there, he shot up, sending his textbook and papers flying. "Wha...Luna! What are you doing here?" Neville asked, surprised.

"I want to show you something. I was outside, and there's something you have to see," she said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"It's like the middle of the night," Neville groaned. "What in the world were you doing outside? Is that even allowed? Isn't that against school rules?"

"No one will notice us. The only teacher on hallway duty right now is Snape. We'll be fine," Luna reassured him.

"Snape?!" Neville almost shouted. "We're supposed to be safe with Snape lurking around the hallways? Oh, please, if he catches me, I'm actually going to become potions ingredients," he whispered furiously.

"His goal in life is to torture Gryffindors, mostly me and Harry. If he finds us, you'll probably be fine, but me? I'm not seeing tomorrow's sunrise, trust me on that," Neville said angrily.

"Hey, calm down. I promise you we won't be caught," Luna said softly, surprised at Neville's outburst.

He sighed. "Fine." He got up reluctantly and followed Luna out the door. "So how did you get in here?" he asked again, realizing she'd never answered his question earlier.

"The Fat Lady and I have conversations quite often," Luna answered vaguely.

Neville nodded, deciding that was about as much of an answer he was going to get out of Luna. They made their way all the way down the stairs and outside without any sign of Snape or anyone else. He let out a sigh of relief when they stepped outside.

"It's so nice outside!" he exclaimed.

Luna leaned over and put her finger over his lips. "Shh. C'mon, it's over here," she said, grabbing Neville's hand and skipping over to where a faint outline could be seen.

"Where are we going?" Neville asked. He didn't have to wait long to find out.

She quickly ran up the little mountain, and Neville followed behind her. When they got to the top, he could see exactly why Luna had been so excited. It was breathtaking.

As he looked around in wonder, Luna let out a chime of laughter at his amazement. "Wonderful, isn't it?" she commented, smiling.

"It's...it's beautiful," Neville murmured. "How did you find this?"

"I like to come here sometimes when I can't sleep at night. I used to just wander around outside until I found this. And wait, it gets better," she said excitedly.

She laid down and motioned for Neville to do the same. "The view here is quite spectacular," she said.

Neville sat down next to her and laid down next to her. He turned his gaze to the sky, and he had to agree. It truly was quite spectacular. He could almost pretend the entire universe was spread out before them, with all the stars twinkling in the night sky. It was almost the full moon, and it seemed to be shining brighter than ever.

Luna slowly moved her hand until their fingers were touching, and hesitantly, Nevilly gently held her hand. He turned his gaze from the spectacular universe to the even more extraordinary person right next to him.

As he stared at her, he felt a sense of peace come over him. It was like at that exact moment, everything in his life came together. It was the perfect moment, almost frozen in time. The moonlight reflected off of Luna's pale hair, making it look silver.

He could only think about how lucky he was to have such an amazing person in his life. She was so beautiful, inside and out, and all he could think was, "I love you." That quickly brought him out of his tranquil state of mind when he realized he had said that out loud.

All he felt was panic, and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He looked over at Luna, who was still laying down, her hair spread out in waves around her. Her eyes were closed, and she was smiling.

"I love you, too," she said quietly, after a very long moment of silence. At least, it seemed quite long to Neville.

He let out a deep breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. "Everything, right in this moment, is actually perfect," he whispered.

"It's a magical place up here. You leave all your troubles down below, and up here, it's just you and the stars," Luna replied.

"The moonlit stars," Neville said quietly. He had no idea where it came from, but it just seemed like the right thing to say.

"There's a lovely place a little over there, 'The Field of Singing Birds'. The trees form an open circle that you can see the moonlit stars from. Care for some midnight dancing?" Luna asked, giggling.

"Oh, why not," Neville responded. He propped himself up on his elbow and looked at Luna, who still had her eyes closed.

"I mean, if I've taken away anything from astrology, it appears the stars have aligned, which tells me...that tonight would be the perfect night to dance under some moonlit stars," Neville grinned.

Luna finally opened her eyes. "You're such a dork," she teased him. "Alright, let's go!"

Neville was about to offer her his hand to help her up, but she lept up and was down the hill before he knew it. He ran down after her, feeling the adrenaline and exhilaration just from running down the giant hill (and maybe some other factors…). It was a wondrous feeling.

A/N: This is a short excerpt from a Nuna fanfic I attempted to write for NaNo 2015, and it's one of my favorite scenes that I wrote. The second part will be posted very soon! Reviews are always appreciated :)
