A/N: I know I haven't updated in awhile, so I'll post three more chapters before I go off to camp for the week. Btw I'm changing the name to "What Should Have Happened in 'The Order of the Phoenix.'"

Chapter 2

Harry

They all left the carriages and headed into the Great Hall. They lost Luna in the crowd, though, which was quite alright with Harry. She was a bit strange.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville made their way over to the Gryffindor table and sat down to eat dinner; Harry and Ron on either side of Hermione, and Neville next to Harry. Harry quite honestly wondered where Luna was. She didn't seem to be at the Gryffindor table.

Harry momentarily forgot about Luna when he noticed Neville intently staring at something across the Hall. He followed Neville's line of sight until he reached - who woulda guessed? - Luna, sitting over at the Ravenclaw table. Huh, so that's where she was. But that thought was quickly pushed aside. Neville had been staring at her. Neville. Of all people. Harry would have to interrogate him about it.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Harry asked Neville. Neville broke his gaze away and looked at Harry, as if he had just broken out of a trance.

"What? Oh, nothing," Neville said, his voice sounding a bit dreamy. Harry was curious now. He left Neville alone, but he kept a close eye on him. At first Neville was focused on his food, and then, sure enough, a few minutes later his eyes slid back over to Luna. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Harry decided to try a test.

"Neville, can I ask you a question?" he asked. After a moment's hesitation, Neville tore his gaze over to Harry.

"Sure, Harry. What is it?"

Harry hadn't actually thought of a question. He'd just needed to distract Neville. "Er...how's the dessert?"

"Quite good," Neville answered. "This pastry tastes quite strongly of blueberries, actually."

"Okay, thank you. I might try one, myself."

"No problem."

Harry went back to pretending to mind his own business. But he was watching Neville out of the corner of his eye. For Neville, that should have been enough of a distraction to make him forget what he had previously been doing. But surprisingly, Harry saw that Neville's eyes slid right back over to Luna again. Okay, that settled it. This couldn't be a coincidence. Something was up.

After listening to Umbridge drone on and on about something Harry didn't remember, the students headed towards their Houses. Harry, making sure Neville was out of earshot, whispered to Ron,

"Ron, do you think it's possible that Neville might fancy Luna Lovegood?" Ron looked at him as if he was insane.

"Neville? Like Loony Lovegood? We talking about the same Neville here? Besides, she's a crazy girl, that's what she is."

Harry decided that Ron wouldn't be too much help. "Wait, why'd I come to you?" he said. "You're awful with these situations." He left Ron and found Hermione.

"Hey, Hermione, do you think it's possible that Neville might have a crush on Luna Lovegood?"

"Harry, I was thinking the exact same thing," she said. "I mean, did you see his face when we were in the carriage? It was redder than Ron's face! And he was so nervous - more nervous than usual, I mean. I just think it's so adorable."

"Yeah," Harry said. "I saw him giving her multiple glances during dinner. I definitely think it's a possibility."

"Possibility? Harry, it's definitely true! Don't you see how exciting this is? Neville's never liked a girl before - it'll be a whole new experience for him. It's so sweet."

"Yeah...Should we torture him to tell us about it? That should be fun."

"Harry! Don't make the poor boy feel even more uncomfortable."

"Yeah, you say that. Bur does it ever prevent Ron and me from doing something stupid?"

Hermione shook her head. "No."

"That's right."

Harry and Hermione found seats in the Gyffindor common room, where they sat and chatted with some of their classmates. Harry caught up with Dean and Seamus about their holiday, and they listened to Lavender and Parvati gossip about cute seventh years, and they watched Fred and George use little Nigel as a test subject for their new "inventions."

Soon enough, the common room was abandoned except for Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville and Ginny. Harry went over and sat down on the couch next to Neville.

"So, Neville," Harry said. "Working on that new crush, I see."

"Crush? What crush? I don't have a crush. What are you talking about?" Neville talked fast, his face turning almost as red as it did earlier.

Harry playfully nudged Neville in the ribs. "Oh, you know what crush I'm talking about." Harry addressed the others. "Do you guys know what crush I'm talking about?"

Hermione nodded her head. "Yes."

Ron slowly nodded. "Yeah. I guess so."

Ginny, however, seemed greatly shocked and intrigued. "Wait, Neville's got a crush?" she practically screamed. "Oh my God! That's so exciting! C'mon, who is it, Neville? Tell us who it is!"

Neville blushed even redder. "I told you, I don't have a crush."

"C'mon, Neville, it's kinda obvious that you do," Ginny said. "Now tell us!"

"No."

"I'll tell you, then," Hermione said. "Neville here has a crush on Luna Lovegood."

Ginny's eyes almost bulged out of her head. "Neville has a crush on Luna Lovegood? That is, like, the last person I would have expected! I mean, who woulda thought? But it's still so adorable!"

Neville stayed silent and looked down at his feet. It was a little obvious he didn't want to have this conversation, but Harry would have interrogated him anyway, up in the dormitory, and then Dean and Seamus would have known, and that would have been a disaster.

"Can we just drop this?" Neville asked.

"How can we not? This is exciting, Neville!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Yeah, but can you leave me to deal with my romantic situations on my own? I don't need your interference. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to sleep." Neville got up and left without another word.

"We're still going to spy on him, right?" Harry asked.

"Oh yes," the others answered.
