A/N This is my first real story, probably going to be awful, just bare with me please! Also, if you could read and review, that would be great!

Luna was trying to listen to Harry speak about disarming but all she could think about was if she wanted to go home for Christmas this year. Her father said it was okay if she wanted to stay, she did, but she didn't want Daddy to be lonely.

"Luna and Neville, pair up for disarming!" Harry's voice brought her back to reality. She scrambled up from her seat on the floor and took out her wand. Neville was waiting for her, looking nervous, of course.

"Don't be nervous, Neville, I don't bite," she said. Neville didn't look any less nervous. After Neville tried first, Luna's wand didn't move, again and again, he tried, but no result.

"Is it my turn now?" she asked him. He nodded quickly.

"Expelliarmus!" she said clearly. Neville's wand flew to her, which she caught smoothly. He stared at her in astonishment, it was quite cute. She did a little curtsy, and giggled. Then a whistle was blown, and Harry announced the end of the first DA lesson. Luna gathered her belongings and watched as Neville tripped over his own feet.

"Are you staying for Christmas, Neville?" she asked while helping him up.

"Yes, Gran wants the house to herself this year, but she will take me out once to visit my..." he froze at what he just said, then coughed trying to cover it up. Luna didn't mind, she was used to people not telling her personal things, they thought she would slip it to everyone else.

"That's nice, I'm staying too, Daddy said I could," she replied. Neville nodded and ran out the door of the Room of Requirement. Luna sighed, she liked Neville, he was always very nice to her. He was funny and sweet, she found his forgetfulness and clumsiness very adorable. Luna skipped out the door and through the corridors to the Ravenclaw common room.

The next day, Professor Flitwick passed around a piece of paper to see who was staying for the holidays. Luna signed her name immediately. After that, she examined her schedule to find that her first class was with the Gryffindors, with Ginny. Happiness over came her, and she skipped transfiguration with glee.

"Hello, Ginny," Luna said as she sat down next to her partner.

"Hello, Luna," she replied. Professor Mcgonagoll came into the room and had them started on turning quills into a tea cup. Ginny got it on the second try, not so much luck for Luna. After seven tries, her quill sprouted a little handle. It was closer but not as close as she wanted, Luna tried again, but it just made the quill go rounder.

The rest of her classes flew by, she wanted to go visit Hagrid and help feed the threstles. So she walked down the path to his hut and knocked on the door.

"Luna!" he said when he opened his door.

"Hello, Hagrid," Luna said while giving him a hug, "can I feed the threstles with you?"

"O'course, I'll go get the meat," he replied. Together they went into the Forbidden Forest and found the creatures. Luna picked up a piece of meat and threw it to one of the baby threstles. He gobbled it up and looked t her asking for more. She threw another small piece and he ate it all up. After another hour of doing this, she went back into the castle to go to sleep.

A/N I know this is a romance between Luna and Neville, it will get there, don't worry! I'll add more chapters soon!
