Roaring Ravenclaw

Most of the students were focused on studying and preparing for the upcoming exams. With only a couple of weeks left, the professors were starting to pile on the work load and it was more than anyone could handle. Of course Hermione Granger was always on top of it all, hounding on Harry and Ron to focus more but the boys were rather distracted with the game in a few hours. The trio were seated on couches in the Gryffindor common room, Hermione walking backing and forth reading out loud from a textbook as the other two chattered on about the other players from Slytherin. Without even stopping to look away from her book "you two haven't even started on revisions for the early chapters yet!" Shaking her head at them she flicked her wand as a few books hurled at their head. "Ow! Hermione! That hurt." The boys complained. Harry rubbed his shoulder thankfully ducking in time but Ron was left almost whimpering as he rubbed his head.

The trio continued on that way for a few hours, with Hermione's failed attempt at trying to get the boys to study leaving only physically inflicted pain before their big game. "I'llmeetyoudownthere"Harry quickly muttered and dashed out the door before his friends could say anything. Ron stared awkwardly, with a shrug of his shoulders throwing his hands up in defeat the redhead stood up to grab a chocolate frog off the table beside him and put on his quidditch robes. Hermione stared at the exit Harry had taken, stunned for a lack of words. Something was up with him lately and she had a huge feeling it had a lot to do with a certain straggly, platinum blonde Ravenclaw.

Harry rushed towards 'their plant' slipping his quidditch robe on and fumbling in the process. Before he was within a few feet of their memorable place, from the distance he could see a familiar sight that had others laughing. The-boy-who-lived broke out into a wide smile, Luna could easily be mistaken for a Gryffindor and it wasn't just because of the headgear she had on at the moment. With each step he took closer towards her, Harry thought back to her bravery, courage and how genuinely noble she was. Luna was never one to stand up for herself when others belittled her, mostly because she chose to ignore them yet he knew it bothered her. The way her lashes would slowly meet as she blinked with a forlorn expression was something he had picked up. If Harry had his way he would make sure she never looked like that again. For someone who didn't stand up for herself, she sure knew how to tell people off when they were attacking someone she cared about. "Luna, I'm glad I caught you in time" beamed Harry.

Whirling around with a radiant smile enhancing her already beautiful face, Luna gave him a glazed over forlorn look of something he couldn't decipher then said "were we playing hide and seek or tag?" Harry blinked once for a mere second or two before doubling over with laughter. Luna only gave him a puzzled expression. Reaching for his hand she pulled him over to their plant and he was only too happy to oblige. "Look," pointing down at it Harry had to kneel a bit to see what she was talking about. "I can't believe it's actually changed at all, I didn't think it would." He was still fascinated by the plant; it was just a small green spikey looking thing, now it was something else. The spikes were still there for the most part but there was a bulbous bud. That's when he made the connection, a bud means it's a flower. "What kind of flower is it?" he asked her in excitement to which she only shook her head. She had said it several times before "just wait and watch, it'll be something special and well worth it."

Standing up his fingers easily found hers like second nature, intertwining and clasping softly. It had become something both of them had started to do without even thinking about it. The only time they realized it was happening was if someone else pointed it out. Hermione and Ron's blank stares and attempt to look elsewhere always gave it away to Harry. Luna either never picked up on that or didn't care. Harry had promised Luna he would meet her before the game, he didn't even have to ask if she'd be wearing the head dress. She was Luna, of course she would. It gave him a certain sense of pride and warmth knowing she would be out there in the stands watching him. The whole crowd would, but Luna wasn't just anybody and everybody, she was unique and different. There was so much about her that others failed to see. The duo soon reached the field and Harry bid goodbye, just before he left Luna quickly pecked him on the cheek along with a goodluck.

Throughout the game, Harry wasn't entirely focused on the snitch like he should have been. Whenever he got close to the stands near where Luna was he would look over for the briefest moment. Harry had caught sight of Luna as soon as she had been seated before the games began. The score left the Slytherins in the lead with only ten minutes left. It had started raining, at first just spitting but now it was starting to rain harder making it difficult for him to see with his glasses. Seeing Draco Malfoy veer towards the left, the boy-who-lived followed him hoping he was on the right track. It was a trick, Harry ran right into the Chasers but managed to swerve avoiding them just in time. A loud roar cut through the sound of the crowd and rain. Instantly turning to his right he saw Luna and the lion on her head roaring to life. She looked straight at him then her eyes drifted above his head. On gut instinct Harry's entire body stilled and only his hand reached up. Tilting his head upwards he saw the snitch hovering around. With one quick movement of the wrist he caught the snitch. The crowd went crazy as the banners all turned red and gold.

The teams were all retreating to changing rooms, Slytherin players were left arguing while Gryffindor was celebrating. Everyone wanted to Harry there join in on the festivities but he only wanted to see one person, to thank her. Without Luna he wouldn't have caught that snitch and the team wouldn't have won. It wasn't easy to make up an excuse and get away from all of them, especially Ron who was baffled. Somehow he sneaked away and headed towards their plant hoping she would be there. If not he would try the lake which wasn't too far from it. Thankfully as he made his way over there Harry saw her coming back from the lake, treading up to their place. She had gotten rid of her head dress and Harry had cleaned up, even grabbed a few chocolate frogs from the common room. Handing one to her "thanks" smiled the boy who lived. "I couldn't have done it without you Luna. It's because of you that we won today. You know that right?" Luna held up a lithe finger against his lips earning his silence immediately. Shaking her head from side to side she leaned forward closing the space between them and wrapped her other free hand around his neck.

"Harry Potter, you won because of you, nobody else. So own up to it. Even if I had helped I think you were destined to win, the snitch was right above you after all." Her dreamy voice floated like a breeze to his ear, he wanted it to be closer, he wanted more. "I'm not done" she continued noticing he was about ready to say something. "I didn't tell you this before the game, but I had decided to give you a gift if you won today's game which I knew you would. Do you want it now?" Harry didn't know what to say so instead he nodded. "Good, it'd be a waste not to give it to you." Sliding her finger down from his lips Luna leaned in until their noses were touching and pressed her lips lightly against his. Harry found himself surprised and alarmed yet his reaction was instantaneous; his arms wrapped around her waist pulling her even closer if that was possible. It was such a chaste kiss. Luna pulled away smiling up at him, Harry had never seen her smile like that before it was almost a lopsided smirk. "You deserved it so own up to it."

"I will." He didn't need any more encouragement, raising one hand up to her lustrous hair he tilted her head and kissed her again. This time it wasn't just a soft kiss, it was one full of passion and warmth that permeated all of his sense, one of discovery, exploration and curiosity as well. It felt like fireworks went off in his mind and Luna was experiencing something similar enough. Moaning into his lips Luna could feel the rhythm of her entire body hum in accordance with Harry's. Neither of them noticed but the plant had taken on a faint glow as it fed off the natural emotions radiating off the two. Pulling away from each other for a moment of much needed air Harry rested his forehead against hers, a smile like the kind nobody had ever seen before on him etched in his features as he gazed into her eyes. "You're my roaring ravenclaw." Luna smiled and nodded.


AUTHOR'S NOTE-

So 3 things.

1) Finally got my laptop back but I've been a bit busy and had a bit of a hard time getting words out of my thoughts, so here's a new chapter. Finally!

2) I've been told by someone who reviewed this story critically that I should maybe write differently. As in change the writing style by separating the dialogue from the rest of the writing, instead of bulking it up into one big paragraph. This is the way I'm used to writing so I'm going to continue with it and try to change it for my next story. If anyone has anything about that they'd like to tell me, I'd love to hear it.

3) I know it's a lot later than I would have liked to get one out, sorry. Hopefully the length makes up for it, or something. Their relationship is gradually changing and interesting things will come up soon. Enjoy!


REVIEWED -
