Chapter 1

Im trying out this "fanfiction writing" thing. Leave comment I take all criticism. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Luna was sitting at the three broomsticks reading the newest issue of the quibbler her father had sent her to approve and drinking a warm Butterbeer. She peers over the top of the page and spots Neville Longbottom sitting at a table across the way. A smile creeps onto her lips. She hadn't noticed him walk in. She's had a crush on him as long as she could remember. She starts blushing and can't stop starring. He looks up and sees her and she quickly hides her face behind the quibbler. She looks at the clock on the wall and realizes its almost time for dinner and should be heading back to the castle. She packs up her books and ventures out into the snow.

When Luna gets back to the castle she heads straight to the great hall for dinner. Being that it was Saturday and there were no classes not many people showed up for dinner on time. She didn't see any of her friends so she sat alone. She didn't mind being alone though she did feel like talking to someone, anyone. Dinner appears on the table and Luna digs in. Mashed potatoes, chicken, steamed vegetables were neatly arranged on her plate. As she eats and reads she feels eyes on her. She looks up and sees Neville starring at her and they both quickly look away. She continues eating and avoids looking up from her book.

As she's half way through dinner people are starting to file into the hall. She ignores them till a shadow cast over her. She looks up and sees Neville. "Hello Neville" Luna says nervously. He gives a little wave and says "hello Luna". They stare at each other in awkward silence till Neville says "I saw you sitting alone and I, um, was wondering if you might…want some..company". She replies "sure", without a thought and maybe too eagerly. He takes a seat, looks at her swiftly and smiles to himself.
