Chapter Three

A week went by, and true to her word Luna showed up at the Greenhouse every night. Neville learned quite a lot from her past. The most odd was the story of her mother's death (she had blown up trying to come up with a cure for the Rooster Pox.) It's apparently like Chicken Pox, except more lethal, and rare. Had the same effects as the chicken pox, plus it turned the skin a nasty shade of purple. He'd never heard of it, but it seemed fit her personality at least. Even if it wasn't true, the story was amusing none the less.

"Luna," Neville called to the girl opposite him in the Greenhouse, "Why do you always come here?"

"I've already answered that." She scrunched up her nose on the glass window hiding a particularly dangerous plant that only advanced Herbology students would be able to touch, with the right equipment.

"But, I'm not interesting. I'm horribly boring."

Luna chuckled slightly at his mistaken comment and brought her face away from the glass so that she could look at him.

"Seriously, why do you stay here?"

"Because I love you." She sighed at moved to yet another window to get a look at the plant from a different angle.

"It's not nice to tease Luna."

"It's only teasing if you call it that."

Neville looked dumbfounded by that comment. He supposed she was trying to prove a point or something, but sometimes he mind was too complex. Even for the smartest of wizards.

"Oh, come off it Neville." Luna smiled at him and beckoned him to sit with her. "Why don't you just tell me what happened today?"

"But it's a Saturday, I was here most of the day."

"Right, but not all of it. So, what happened when you weren't here? Start from the beginning."

"Okay then. Um, I woke up and then went to breakfast. Then I came down here, and it ends here."

"You're skipping details!" Luna whined, "I know that much, I did the same thing. I want to know what happened between the norm. Did you brush your teeth this morning?"

"Yeah, I always brush my teeth." Neville replied quickly, feeling he needed to defend her acquisitions of his hygiene.

"Then why did you skip that part?" She questioned him.

"Fine, I'll start over then. I'll give you every detail."

"Thank you. You may begin."

Neville was taken aback. He thought that she would get his sarcasm, but she obviously didn't. That left him with two choices: telling Luna he was joking and wasn't actually going to tell her what he did, or humor her and give her the boring details of his life. There was nothing else to do, so he went with number two.

"I woke up early this morning, because I had to work a bit on my potions essays that are all due next week. After that I took a shower, and I did brush my teeth. See, they're very clean." With that he opened his mouth to show Luna his teeth.

"Yes, you have very nice teeth." She smiled at him to show her approval and had him continue on with his day.

Neville smirked at her comment on his teeth, and continued on with the story of his day thus far. "After I left the washrooms and went back to my Dorm so that I could get dressed. I put on the clothes that you see on me now, than I went to the Great Hall for breakfast. At breakfast I had a couple rolls and an apple. I wasn't that hungry. Then I came down here and saw you waiting in front of this greenhouse, and we walked in. The end."

"That was a lovely story. You seemed to have quite a day today."

Neville smiled at her interest in his life and shook his head a bit, suppressing the laugh building up in him. "You're a strange one Luna."

She put her hand on her chin and nodded, "Yes, I suppose I am."

No longer able to keep it in, Neville started laughing.

Hearing Neville laugh, Luna subconsciencely licked her lips. Quietly thanking God that Neville doubted her affections for him.

Neville stopped laughing at caught a glimpse of Luna biting her lip. He wasn't able to understand the feeling that was created in his body from such a small action. He clamed up and his insides became all twisted. "Um, I have to go to the...inside..." He called back to Luna as he jumped up and ran out of the greenhouse, leaving Luna to her thoughts of the previous circumstances.
