I do not own Harry Potter, that belongs to J.K. Roweling, I have not made any money from this it was written purely for my enjoyment-and hopefully for you as a reader.
Rated M, just in case.
Chapter one.
Harry Potter sighed as he rolled in his bed for the hundredth time that night, it was no good, he simply wasn't going to get any sleep tonight. He was just glade that tomorrow was Saturday. He knew that he would be no good in lessons, not that he'd been doing that well of late, not with his insomnia acting up the way it has been. Harry had always suffered insomnia, but never as bad as this.
Harry got up and pulled on his clothes, sighing as he did so. ' I've really got to get some kind of handle on this bloody insomnia.' he thought, tucking his wand into his robes. And walked out of the dormitory and, with the Marauders map's help, managed to sneak out of the castle and out to the grounds.
Harry took a deep breath of the cool clear night air, looking up he found the moon full and thought about Professor Lupin, who would be running through who-knew-where in his Were form. As Harry walked along he heard something moving out by Hagrid's Cabin and walked in that direction, pulling his wand as he did so. When he got to the cabin his ears were met by the last voice he had expected.
" Hello Harry Potter," said the dreamy voice of Luna Lovegood. " Why are you out at this hour?" Harry looked around and saw Luna walking toward him from the pumpkin patch, her blond hair was a mess, which told Harry that she had either been lying in the patch ( not outside the realm of possibility for her) or that she had tripped and fell ( also in the realm of possibility ). she was wearing Muggle night clothes, what looked like light weight sweat pants and a loose night shirt. Harry found himself starting to drool, and quickly shook his head " Sorry, um, I can't sleep."
Luna smiled her normal dreamy smile and nodded, seeming to find this to be a reasonable excuse to be out after dark " I know the feeling, I can't sleep either." she then tilted her head to one side, and Harry found himself fascinated by how her hair fell to that side " Well Harry, since neither of us can sleep, we might as well not sleep together." before Harry knew what he was doing he found himself agreeing to walk with her.
Luna lead the way to the lake, along the way they were talking about the day they'd had and just about anything else they could think of. Or at least Luna was, Harry it seemed, was hypnotized by Luna, entranced by the way her hips moved as she walked, and the way her hair seemed to swing as she moved her head from side to side. Now that there was not a whole school full of people or the D.A. Around them making noise, Harry found that her voice seemed to have a slight lilt to it.
" Harry, are you okay?" Luna asked, turning to face him with her light gray, almost silver eyes and Harry blinked then said " Um, sorry Luna. Did you say something?" Luna raised one pale eyebrow and said with a slight smile " I asked if your sure that Ginny wont be mad about you walking with me alone?" Harry blushed slightly then said " No, not really." he looked at the lake and thought about the fact that he and Ginny were only pretending to boyfriend/girlfriend because she didn't want the school, or more specifically Ron, to know that she was, in fact, a Lesbian. And Ginny's girlfriend was not too keen on that being found out either, or the fact that she was sleeping with a Gryffindor.
Harry blushed and said quickly " Um, why do you want to know?" he blushed even more at the smile that Luna gave him. Luna simply said " No reason." she walked with him up to the castle, by this time it was almost four in the morning. " I'll walk you to your house entrance, no sense in getting caught when it's not necessary." Luna smiled at him again, and Harry felt himself blush yet again.
' If this keeps up, I'll look like a tomato.' Harry thought to himself.
When they reached the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room Luna turned to Harry and said " I truly enjoyed tonight Harry," she smiled and leaned in, before Harry knew it she was kissing his lips gently and saying " Thank you." and then she answered the question that the eagle knocker asked, and went inside. Leaving Harry thinking ' What was that about?' then he blushed as he thought ' She has really soft lips.'
