Chapter 4 (Three hearts at Night)
"Ron?"
"Mmm?"
"Can I ask you something?"
Harry and Ron were alone in their bedroom; Neville, Seamus and Dean were in the Common Room with the others.
"Sure, go ahead."
"Do you ... **like** Luna?"
"WHAT?!"
"I mean ... the way you've been looking at her ... it's ... well ..."
Ron had blushed crimson and he hardly dared look at Harry. He buried his face in a pillow.
"Yeff," his muffled voice came from under the pillow.
"What?" Harry asked.
"YES! Yes, I do like her and now go and make fun of me."
Harry shook his head, looking at his friend seriously. "Why would I do such a thing? You didn't make fun of me for liking Cho either."
"Cho's different. Everybody likes her."
"Well, it's okay to like Luna," Harry said with a grin and came over to sit beside his friend. "What do you like about Luna the most?"
Ron sighed and looked at Harry. "I dunno ... maybe ... just the way she looks at me sometimes. She seems so ... lost and I just ... don't want her to be lost anymore."
Harry sighed, too. "You're in love with her, mate."
Ron groaned. "That is what I have been afraid of."
At the same time in the room above Harry and Ron a similiar conversation was held.
"What do you think, Prongs?" George asked his brother. "What's up with Moonie?"
"Dunno, Padfoot. She's sad. She shouldn't be."
George chuckled to his brother's surprise. "She won't be for too long! Have you seen how Ron was looking at her?! History might repeat itself and a Gryffindor prefect will kiss a Ravenclaw girl in an empty class room again ..."
Fred glared at his twin. "He doesn't. Ron is NOT in love with her! He's not interested in girls yet!"
George frowned. "Prongs ... umm ... do you fancy her?"
Usually the twins didn't have secrets when it came to each other, but ever since they had come back to Hogwarts and had learned about Luna's suicide attempt, Fred had been gloomy.
"Why would you think such a thing?"
"C'mon! I know you better than you know yourself! Normally you would support me when it comes to Percy-related jokes and how you're all jealous. **Do** you fancy her?"
Fred thought about this for a moment. He couldn't deny that he liked Luna Lovegood. She had been a great member of the New Marauders. Fred/Prongs, George/Padfoot, Luna/Moonie and Lee/Wormtail had been very close during Luna's third and the others sixth year. He liked spending time with her as she seemed to have a side-effect on him; when she was around he could actually calm down enough to think of more than just the next prank and he had great ideas for the job. Yes, indeed. He **did** like her.
"Nnng, yes."
George cried out in joy and hugged his struggling twin. "Oh my! Ain't that cute?" George tweaked Fred's cheeks until the redhead cried in pain.
"GEORGE!"
"All right, all right. Mmm, but what will we do about Ron?"
Fred thought for a moment. "We don't know if he likes her for sure yet. We'll just ask Harry or something."
With that he turned away from his brother, going to sleep.
Luna, who was still in the hospital wing, did not know of any of this. She felt lonely again. It seemed ages since her friends (for friends they obviously were) had visited her. She wanted to see someone beside Madame Pomfrey. She wanted to talk to the twins or Ron or ... whatever. Well, she was still pretty sure that Ron didn't like her the way she liked him although he had been really nice to her. She sighed. She would just have to rely on the twins then ... maybe their sight would at least give her an idea of what it would be like to be with Ron ...
A/N: MANY people sigh in that chapter. Lol!
