Chapter four.
Harry spent the next few weeks on cloud nine. He had managed to kiss ( several times ) the girl he'd had a crush on for nearly two years. More over, he found that she had shared the same feelings toward Harry. Harry's next bout of insomnia wasn't to happen for nearly a month, but for the first time in years he was looking forward to it. As he sat up in the common room, reading, on the first night of his insomnia, when he heard Hedwig flapping at the windows and tapping it with her beak.
Harry got up and walked over, letting her in and smiled as his snowy owl flew in to one of the nearest tables. She dropped a scroll and flew onto Harry's shoulder and nibbled his ear playfully Harry thanked her, and gave her a piece of bacon he had saved from dinner. As she ate this he unrolled the scroll and read it carefully.
Harry,
I will be able to meet you tonight at around 11:30 in the main hall.
Luna.
Harry could've danced for joy, Luna Lovegood had just written him a letter! And she wanted to meet him! Tonight! Harry looked at his watch and gulped it was 10:30, so he had exactly one hour to get ready for his date with her.
Harry went upstairs and get his cloak and map, and also to, in vain, comb his hair. He then went down to the common room to wait for 11:00 to go to the main hall. When the time rolled around, Harry could hardly stand still, he got up, wrapped himself in his invisibility cloak, activated his map, and set off for his rendezvous with his crush.
When Harry got there, Luna was already waiting for him, hiding behind a statue and keeping an eye on the door and the hall headed back into the castle. Harry came up and whispered loud enough to get Luna's attention, but not loud enough to attract attention. " Luna, it's Harry, I'm under the cloak. Lets go."
Luna didn't even look to were Harry was, she simply held out her hand, and Harry pulled her to him and under the cloak. When they were under the cloak Luna turned to Harry and without even saying hello first, simply kissed him. When the kiss broke she leaned back enough for Harry to see her, and Harry fell at once under the spell of those silvery eyes.
" Lets go Harry, there's something I want to show you." she said, her lilt catching his ears like the song of a siren. He simply nodded and lead the way. When they were outside Luna took over and lead him into the forbidden forest, but not toward any place Harry had ever been in the forest. When they were deep enough in the woods that they would not be seen Harry took the cloak and tucked it in his sweat jackets pocket.
Harry and Luna both took out their wands and lit them, Luna leading them, and Harry following. He tried to pay attention to his surroundings, he really did. But the sight of Luna walking in a pair of nearly skin tight pants with her hair almost reaching her waist, was extremely distracting to him. Luna looked back at Harry and saw where his attention was for the most part, and smiled the smile that all women get when they receive attention that they enjoy.
After nearly half an hour they reached a small clearing, and for the first time since they had taken the cloak off, Harry looked somewhere other then at Luna.
The clearing was almost a hundred feet across, with some grass ( odd that) and a river that led into a pool of water, which reflected the light of the moon. " This is my favorite place to come, Harry." Luna said " My dad used magic to make grass grow here when he was in Hogwarts, he told me how to find it." she then turned to Harry and smiled at him, and once again Harry's attention was completely focused on this wonderful young woman before him. " I wanted to bring you here, Harry, because here we don't have to worry about any of the professors or even Hagrid, since they don't know it's here." she walked over and, taking Harry's hand, led him to the pool of water. " Here we can be completely alone."
Harry gulped, knowing the possibilities that presented, and hoping that they were not rushing things. Luna smiled and sat down, Harry sitting with her, his eyes wandering the clearing. He liked it here, it seemed...peaceful here...the only time he had felt this kind of peace was when he was on his broom, leaving the world below him.
Harry looked at Luna, but she was watching the moon, and didn't seem to even be aware that Harry was there anymore. As they sat in the silence Harry studied Luna, the moonlight played across her face, giving her pale skin an almost ghost like quality. Her eyes seemed to almost glow with liquid silver and her hair seemed to be made of pale gold. Luna's shirt was a pale green and was loose enough that her body didn't get too emphasized. Her blue jeans however, almost seemed painted on.
Luna still didn't move or look at him, but said in an amused voice " Are you done staring at me, Harry?" Harry blushed and said " I take it that I was clearly obvious?" Luna smiled and said " As a troll among house elves." Harry blushed again and said " Sorry." Luna actually laughed at this and turned to face Harry saying " Did I sound angry?, did I say I was angry?" Harry shook his head " then it stands to reason then, that I'm not."
Harry smiled and said " I guess that's right." he took her hand in his, and returned to looking at the night sky, they stayed like that for a long, long time...
Later the next day Harry was just coming out of charms when he received a scroll from Luna again, two in as many days!
Harry,
Thank you for last night, and thank you also for the restraint you showed.
I know many boys, and even some girls, wouldn't have been able to
hold back the way you did. You are a true gentleman in the best traditions of
Gryffindor.
Your also a first rate idiot, next time we go there, lets try something, okay?
Luna.
Luna wanted to go there with him again!, in spite of his disappointment of her last night. And what was more, she wanted him to do something, hopefully kiss her, maybe even more. Harry walked back to the common room with a smile on his face.
