For CG, my amazing friend and a proud Thuna shipper. So, I wrote a fic for her with her OTP. Hope you enjoy!
Luna drifted through the wreckage, too scared to go into the Great Hall. She wouldn't normally be scared, no she'd be comforting the injured and the families in her own sweet way that'd make them think Wow, that Loony Lovegood girl isn't so much of a weirdo. Or so she hoped but no, she was stuck outside just because while she'd finally found love, it could betray her.
After all, what if Theo was in there? Dead or dying and her whole life could be ruined in one second if she found him. So she climbed atop a pile of concrete and sat down, looking off into the distance. She really did love him, didn't she? If she was so scared of loss that she wouldn't even go inside as it grew cold and lonely. She cared about her friends too but you didn't see her scared to go in there because she might see them, did you? It was Theo she was worried about. Theodore Nott and she wasn't even completely sure why.
She just wanted to see his dark brown hair and convince herself he was okay. Was that so wrong of her? Should she be more worried about Ginny, Harry, her fellow Ravenclaws. Her friends. And like that she's screaming and she can't help it as she runs up the stairs to her common room. She answers the question and hurries into the corner.
Huddling up into a ball, she pulls her legs up to her chest and wraps her arms around them. She's never felt so afraid. Not during the battle, not when they were at the ministry in her 5th year. Never. Until now... and she finally realizes why she's a Ravenclaw, the kind that can figure everything out in her head and convince herself to protect her friends but when it comes to those she loves, she's weak in the legs and feels like she's gonna puke.
She can hear feet outside and squeezes herself into a corner, trying to hide her tear streaked face from whoever's outside. A voice answers the question and she opens her eyes to see brown shoes trudging towards her. A black robe hangs around them and looking up, she can see a Slytherin badge and then... Theo's face.
And she's up on her feet within seconds, not even caring that they're not dating and she grabs him and hugs him, her face only just up to his arm. And he pulls her towards him and wipes away her tears with his thumbs and leans in to kiss her on the cheek. But she needs more and so she meets him halfway, thrusting her lips up to connect with his.
He wraps an arm around her to protect her and leads her out of her half destroyed common room and down the steps. He pulls her into a deserted classroom where he hops up on a desk and pulls her close.
"Listen, Luna, it can never be. My dad... he thinks I'm one of them. The Dark Lord will know about us soon and I have to keep you safe. I have to."
She just looks into his eyes and tells him what she always knew. "I'd rather die a Nott with you, that live forever alone as a Lovegood."
"Luna, if you died... let's just say it'd be like Romeo and Juliet. A bunch of dead lovers because I love you, Luna "Looney" Lovegood. Always have and always will. Death won't change that."
He slide of the desk and got down on one knee like one might do to propose. "Despite the danger and risks, will you be my girlfriend?"
She nodded and couldn't help but shriek with excitement and as soon as he stood up, she threw herself at him and he twirled her around and they didn't care. They didn't care that Voldemort was still out there, that everyone else was healing the injured and mourning the dead. Because love makes you blind in the best way.
Please R&R and I hope you liked it!
