Summary: In which Harry and Luna hunt for the elusive Crumpled-Horned Snorkack

"Shush, Harry you'll scare away the Glimwing Faeries!"

"Err... Aren't we looking for Crumpled-Horned Snorkacks?"

"Of course Harry, but father said that Snorkacks only come out when the Faeries are in large numbers."

"Umm... Luna, I don't see any Faeries either."

"Silly Harry, that's because you're distracted right now." Harry blushed, he certainly was thinking about other things right now. Perhaps Wrackspurts were affecting him again?

"Besides, you aren't really seeing right now."

Harry gave a confused look towards Luna. Luna, who hadn't taken glanced away from the clearing yet seemed to sense Harry's confusion and answered his unasked question.

"You may be looking, but you aren't seeing."

Harry's eyebrows scrunched together even more. He took a look back into the clearing. Harry decided to just put it out of his mind for now. It was another one of those tidbits of Luna Wisdom that he would eventually get, but certainly not now.

Luna giggled. "Of course, it might help if you wore these, Harry."

Harry looked back over to the blonde girl. She was wearing her spectrespecs. Harry blinked, trying to remember if Luna was wearing those earlier. He gently took the other pair that she had offered him and put them on over his glasses. Harry felt a little silly for wearing two pairs of spectacles.

He looked back into the clearing. Suddenly, surrounding the flowers that dotted the clearing small glowing appeared to buzz around. These were different from the Wrackspurts that Luna had showed him at one time. Those looked like annoying gnats, buzzing invisibly around someone's head—usually Harry's head, at least until after the war was over.

The faeries were dancing around the flowers, and seemed to dart back and forth. Some of them darted towards where Harry and Luna sat disillusioned at the edge of the clearing and then turned away. Harry could never get a good look through their glowing aura to see what they actually looked like.

Harry took off the spectrespecs for a moment to just to see what the clearing looked like again. He noticed the little blurs in the air where the faeries had gathered the most.

"You are actually seeing them now, Harry."

Harry turned to look look at Luna, noticing that she had turned away from the clearing to watch Harry. She was giving Harry a beaming smile, proud that Harry could spot the faeries without the spectrespecs. She gave Harry a pat on the head, as one would give a well behaved Crup. She then turned back to continue watching the clearing for any signs of a the a Snorkack.

Harry just felt a little warm a fuzzy at being the target of Luna's beaming smile and gentle pat.

"Oh poo! Harry your distractions and fantasies scared the faeries away." Harry snapped his head up and looked at the clearing again, aware that his cheeks were burning up. Harry couldn't spot the blurs anymore, and even when he put on the spectrespecs again, the glowing faeries were gone. "Harry, you should be careful with your thoughts. These Faeries are rather sensitive of naughty thoughts." Harry looked at the ground slightly embarrassed. Luna just gently pat him on the head again. "Its okay, we can try again tomorrow, though it will be our last chance." Luna let out a small sigh.

She stood up and brushed off the back of her skirt to get rid of some of the dead leaves and debris that stuck to her. Humming a sweet tune, she skipped off in the direction of their camp, set a safe and precise 153 meters from the clearing. If the camp was any closer, the Snorkack would likely sense it and never show up, any farther and it would take them too long to get to clearing every morning at precisely the correct time.

Harry stood and brushed the leaves off of his backside, before walking towards the tent too. This was their 4th year hunting the Snorkack during the summer and spending time in Sweden. It occurred to Harry that they shouldn't know that the camp needed to be a precise 153 meters away unless that had previously met a Snorkack. Harry felt a dull ache in his head. He shrugged and moved on, trying to find a way to not think naughty thoughts for tomorrow. He didn't want to ruin Luna's last chance this year to spot a Crumpled-Horn Snorkack.

The next day, Harry and Luna got up early again and skipped/walked to the clearing. They settled down and disillusioned themselves to watch the clearing again. Harry repeated in his head to focus and not get distracted. Don't get distracted. Don't get distracted. Don't get-

"Harry, that isn't going to help you not get distracted, now you are just distracted about not being distracted."

Harry shot Luna surprised look.

"You were thinking it so hard you started muttering it."

Harry just buried his face into his palms. Okay. Think safe thoughts. Think about faeries. Think about Snorkacks. Think about Lun-

No!

Harry looked back up to the clearing. Focused on spotting the little blurs that indicated that Faeries were present. Getting a little bored after a few minutes, this thoughts started to wander again.

"Harry!" Luna scolded at him in a soft whisper. Harry was amazed that Luna could even scold someone at such a low volume.

"Sor-"

"Shush." Luna interrupted.

"What is-"

Harry suddenly found Luna's lips pressed against his. Harry was so surprised that he didn't even have time to react. Moments later Luna's lips left his. Harry was still trying to process what was happening.

"Look Harry!" Luna gently shook the catatonic Harry and pointed into the clearing. Harry's brain obeyed the order without a second thought. He glanced into the clearing and stared at a...

Purple beast thing? The horns were a give-away. The way that they appeared to have rammed into a hard wall or tree one too many times and had a folded appearance. They found their Crumpled-Horn Snorkack. It hung around in the clearing for about a minute before it left.

Harry's brain had finally rebooted, and processed that Luna had kissed him.

"Okay Harry, time to obliviate us!" Luna said cheerfully.

That derailed Harry though process. "Obliviate us? But we finally found the Snorkack you've been looking for."

"Of course! But if we obliviate us we can look for it again next year. Besides, I'm pretty sure we've already done this three times." It dawned on Harry that she was correct. Seeing the Snorkack had unblocked the light obliviation on him. They had done this previously—Luna had also kissed him previously.

Before Harry could process that thought, Luna cast an obliviate on Harry. Just a light block on the recent events. No alterations or anything. She then instructed Harry to do the same to her; just block images of the Snorkack from her mind.

After they were done, Luna walked over to Harry, and gave him a quick and gentle peck on the cheek. Thanking him for accompanying her on her trips, and that she looked forward to next year.

Luna skipped back to the tent to gather up her stuff before they left. She gathered up her notes, and took a look at them. The page listed several notes. The first line read, CHS attracted by Glimwing Faeries. It was crossed out. The line under that, written in the distinct fluid writing that Luna possessed was, CHS could be attracted by kissing. Luna thought that she had an excellent idea of find a Snorkack next year.

A/N: A bit cliché, but I liked the idea that Luna would obliviate herself after finding the Snorkack so she could find it again and again, or that the Snorkack would never actually be discovered and hunted for any magical properties it possesses. Then I thought about writing something sweet between Luna and Harry, so this pretty much happened. I think I missed the characterizations of both slightly.
