CHRISTMAS VARIETY BOX

Mistletoe and Midnight Kisses

It's love that makes the world go round.

Anonymous.

Neville sat, staring out into the night. It was starless, but still so beautiful. He sighed. He was so lonely, the only sixth Gryffindor to stay behind this Christmas. But his Gran was visiting an elderly relative of hers and who else was he to stay with? It was so desolate being in the huge castle with only a few others for company.

He heard footsteps behind him and spun around. Luna Lovegood stood before him.

"What are you doing here?" he got out eventually.

"To see you, obviously," she answered.

"But-" Neville was confused. "I thought you'd gone home for Christmas. And how did you get into Gryffindor tower, anyway? You're a Ravenclaw!"

"Cleverly observed, Mr Longbottom," Luna replied, her green eyes gleaming. "I did go away to search for the Mongolian Pygmy Yeti with my father, but I came back. And the fat lady let me in because I said was coming to cheer you up."

Neville was dumbstruck. He didn't really know what to say. "But- why did you come back?"

"To see you, you idiot!" Luna scolded. Silence reigned over them for a bit, while Neville tried to order his very confused thoughts. Luna had come back to see him? But why? But Neville was finding it very hard to think straight; Luna was very distracting. She really was very pretty; he wondered why he'd never noticed before… this really was a very inconvenient time to notice something like that.

"Mistletoe," said Luna, breaking the silence. Neville looked alarmed so she continued, "It's probably infested with nargles."

"Oh," said Neville, wishing he could think of something more intelligent to say. He couldn't think straight and Luna was moving closer to him. She really was very pretty…

He took a step forward, feeling brave. She moved even closer and he could have counted the number of tiny circles in her rather dubious earrings.

Hell…

AN: I told you it was stupid! Never mind…the next one is VERY bad, but I had to post it because it made me laugh…sorry.
