Note: Warning—this idea came to me last night when I was in my weird mood, so it's very weird, 'kay? But Luna's a weird person, so this could make perfect sense. Yay!
Ever since she could remember, Luna Lovegood had always been terrified of one thing:
Chocolate Frogs.
It was mad, really. It had just always unnerved her how she was expected to eat something that hopped about like that when you were trying to take a bite out of it. It was unnatural to her, even while being surrounded by magic all the time.
It didn't help matters that Luna was a vegetarian. Eating frogs, chocolate or not, seemed horrible. Luna wasn't terrified of real frogs, only chocolate ones.
Unfortunately, her boyfriend didn't know this.
Harry Potter strode into the hospital room with a huge bouquet of flowers and a brown paper sack.
He bent over Luna, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"How're you doing, luv?"
Luna was currently at St. Mungo's for a nasty flu virus that had been going around.
"I'm fine, Harry," she replied in that dreamy sort of voice.
Harry grinned. "Good to hear."
"Are those for me?" she asked.
Harry set the flowers on the table next to her bed and put the brown sack in her lap.
"They're for you."
"That's very sweet of you, Harry," Luna said, giving her boyfriend a peck on the lips.
She breathed the scent of the daisies in, smiling in satisfaction.
Then she carefully opened the sack. Harry had gotten her an assortment of her favorite sweets. There were Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Licorice Wands, Sugar Quills, Chocoballs and—
Luna dropped it onto the floor, screaming bloody murder.
Harry was panicking.
"What?! What's wrong, Luna?!"
"Ch-ch-chocolate Fr-fr-ogs…"
Harry's face scrunched up in confusion. "I thought you liked Chocolate Frogs."
"N-no…sca-scary…b-b-bad…" Luna buried her face in Harry's shoulder.
Once Harry realized what was going on, he chuckled.
"You're scared of frogs?"
Luna looked up and narrowed her eyes at him. "I'm not that pathetic… It's only the Chocolate Frogs," she explained.
Harry wrapped his arms around her. "Of course it's not pathetic, luv. You're scared of Chocolate Frogs," he stated.
Luna nodded.
"You're scared of chocolate that has been charmed to hop and croak."
Luna nodded again.
Harry grinned lopsidedly, tucking a strand of her pale blonde hair behind her ear.
"I love you, Luna."
