Cuthbert72: Thank you very much! I'm so glad you like it and I think I will continue this for as many chapters as I can! Your review made me smile! :)

New chapter coming! Please review!

'Their place' slowly begun to be the place where they'd spend their time together. Luna loved to decorate, so the red bricks in which it was made were slowly filled by plants and flowers protected by charms, so they grew even in the cold season. Neville managed to transfigure a chair into a sofa and they hung photos of them and their friends in it. At dinner, sometimes they'd say something like: "I have to study Charms, Neville. Can we meet later in our place?"

"Of course, bring it with you, I'll help you study it." with a smile. Ginny, Hermione, Dean and Seamus, who normally sat nearby, exchanged mystified looks. Still, every single time he saw that face in their place, he felt relieved. She had chose to come. Again. And every time, he'd think he was stupid. 'She loves you, Neville. Stop being stupid, she's in love with you. She's not going anywhere. She's the most honest, brilliant, beautiful witch you know. She's yours and you are hers.' These thoughts never failed to cheer him up. That was right. They belonged together. However, he couldn't stop the dark thoughts creeping on him, especially when he was in bed, just that fragment of a second before falling asleep, and it talked with a cold, cruel voice, sending shivers down his spine. 'What if...?' During the day, Neville was usually able to keep them away, looking in Luna's silver eyes and reading in them all the truth he needed to get over these thoughts. But when at night, he stared at the stars which were the exact colour of her eyes, he read another truth in them. 'Nothing lasts forever' he'd think about it for hours, driving himself crazy. But then, his eyes would see a brighter star. 'Nothing lasts forever. That may be true for the universe in which you live, stars. But I love Luna, and it will last forever. Forever is something that may not exist in your universe, but it exists in my world.' And then he would fall asleep. When he had a particularly bad night, Luna could always see it. He always said it was nothing. It was a few days before Christmas when he finally told her. "Luna?" he asked. She had her face drowned in a Potions book. "Yes, Neville?"
"I was wondering..."
"Yes?"
"Do you really love me?"

"What kind of question is that? Do you?"

"Of course I do!"

"Then that's my answer too. What makes you doubt it?"

"I... I really don't know. I mean, you're Luna. You're beautiful, and smart, and... you're you. I'm nobody."

"That's not true. You're Neville Longbottom, you're a Gryffindor, you're nice, and kind, and smart, and brave and you are the person I love. That makes you everything, everything to my eyes. Never doubt me. I will never doubt you. The first night, you told me I taught you to reach the stars. You taught me how not to fly away with them. I love you."

"I love you too, Luna, with all my heart."
"Then it's settled. There's no problem, is there?" Neville started to calm down. Finally, he knew she loved him just like he loved her.

Yes, I know, I have two. I just wanted to tell you that I don't have internet at home, so I don't know if in the next few days I'll be able to post. I really hope so... anyway, I hope you enjoyed it! :)
