A/N: This is the fluffiest part yet! Whee! The ships are Ron/Hermione and Harry/Luna, for that is how I view who's getting together...

These chapters are much longer than that of "No!" but in my opinion "No!" has more in the way of quality than this story does. Of course, this is a bit of a parody, so it's understandable. "Much Ado about Music" has a map for eight parts, in case anyone was wondering. Will I finish before HBP? I'm not sure...but if I do, expect updates often. At least I'm supplying y'all some reading material in the wait!

And a huge thank you for y'all's reviews! Enjoy this chapter, too!

Jedi Knight Bus: Sorry about Harry and Luna...it's just how I see it. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

PouringRainDrops: Thanks for pointing out the mistake! It's fixed now.

iWILLmarryDanielRadcliffe: Thank you, Hilz...or should I say Tom?

Part Three: In Which Much Blushing Occurs

"So…er…" Harry was finally given the chance to do the thing he'd wanted to do all day (have a conversation with Luna), but he couldn't think of anything to say. He noticed the jolt in his stomach was becoming more prominent and rapid than ever.

"Would you like to take a walk to Honeydukes?" Luna asked.

"Sure," he sighed with a hint of relief as they began walking again.

"So, Luna," he said after a few minutes, "do you know any songs you'd like us to play in our band?"

"Well, I prefer rock music and maybe a slow love ballad here and there...But why are you asking me? Shouldn't Ginny and everyone have a bigger say in it? I mean, I wouldn't have agreed to join if it weren't for you." Realizing what she had just said, Luna blushed deeply. An awkward silence followed.

After recovering, Luna asked, "Are you sure the others don't mind that I'm going to be in the band?"

"No way! They're cool with it. Totally cool," he said, putting his hand gently on her shoulder. They were in an alleyway between a decoration shop and Madam Puddifoot's now. No one seemed to realize they were there.

Luna stopped dead in her tracks and looked into Harry's brilliant green eyes. "Harry," she said seriously, "I…I really like you. And I really like talking to you. It makes me feel like I'm not as alone as I thought I was. Before I met you, no one understood how I felt whenever my mum was mentioned. It was an empty existence that set me apart completely from the rest of my house, and consequently, the entire school. Now I am able to share my feelings with you, and I like that."

"It's the same way for me," said Harry. "I really like you, too, Luna." He was at a loss for words, still nervous and confused. So, he did the only thing that seemed to make sense. He leaned forward and kissed her. Caught by surprise at his own daring, Harry blushed crimson.

After she kissed him back, she asked hesitantly, "Harry? Does this mean we're…?" She blushed as well.

Harry knew exactly what she meant. "Er…only if you want to, Luna," he said uncertainly.

She studied him for a moment, then said excitedly, "Yes! Oh, Harry, I've liked you ever since I met you on the train last year." He held her hand as they walked out of the alleyway and onto a Hogsmeade street. Harry felt so happy he could burst, and he had no problem admitting he was overcome with relief when Luna wrinkled her nose at the sight of Madam Puddifoot's shop. He also noticed the odd feeling in his stomach had subsided.

As Harry and Luna walked down the main street, people began staring at them. One boy from Ravenclaw started laughing madly when he saw them. Malfoy and his usual gang of Slytherins were standing outside the Three Broomsticks.

"Loony? And Potter? Oh, this is too rich!" Malfoy yelled with the laughter from his fellow Slytherins.

Pansy Parkinson stopped laughing long enough to choke out, "Merlin, I thought even you could do better, Potter!"

Harry chose to ignore Malfoy and the other students. He and Luna went into Honeydukes, hoping to shelter themselves from the endless laughter and ridicule.

But everyone in Honeydukes had an even worse reaction, if possible. So the two of them decided to go to the Shrieking Shack to find Ron and Hermione.

They started along the path to the Shrieking Shack silently. Luna had a determined look on her face. Finally, she said, "Maybe it's not such a good idea for you and me to get together, Harry. I mean, if everyone is going to poke fun at us—"

Harry gave Luna a pained expression, "Malfoy's a pile of rubbish, Luna. Don't tell me you're rethinking getting together because of him and the other low-life's in his house?"

"No, of course not. I just thought that maybe you wouldn't want to risk the humiliation that would come of us dating. It will be far worse than individual confrontation. And what we recently experienced? Merely a small dose of the ridicule we'd receive every day."

"Yeah, but…it's worth it, isn't it?"

"Yes, I believe you're right."

"Is it a problem with you if they do?"

"No," Luna blushed. She dreamily gazed at the path ahead while Harry kept an eye out for his best friends.

Harry finally spotted Ron and Hermione near a large oak tree and said to Luna, "Let's have a bit of fun."

Harry and Luna quietly approached Ron and Hermione, so quietly, that neither Ron nor Hermione heard them. Ron was saying something that they couldn't hear. The next thing they knew, Ron and Hermione were kissing passionately, and Ron becoming as red as a tomato, smiling like a fool. Harry and Luna walked up behind them. Harry said, "It's about time!"

Ron and Hermione jumped apart, apparently startled by Harry's voice. After catching her breath, Hermione asked, "How long have you two been here?"

"Long enough," said Harry and Luna in unison.

"Well, Harry…Hermione and I…that is to say, we—"

"We've been dating for awhile now. We didn't tell you, though, because we thought—"

"—you might go into one of your yelling matches, and you have enough to deal with at the moment with You-Know-Who. And now that Sirius—" Ron fell silent. None of the trio had the courage before to say anything about Sirius' fate.

Harry swallowed. Yes, he was hurt that Ron and Hermione had kept something like this from him, but was indeed happy for them. Harry interrupted the spell of silence, saying confusedly, "But I knew you must like each other. I would have been okay with it."

"Sorry, Harry," said Hermione.

"Yeah, we just didn't know what you would think, mate," said Ron sheepishly.

"Well, I think it's great. And it definitely took you long enough. Now you and Hermione are finally together, and so are Luna and I," Harry said, grinning broadly at Luna.

"Really, then?" Hermione said. "Ron, I told you that leaving them alone would work! We're happy for you."

"Thanks, Hermione," said Luna, grinning back at Harry. Harry had a good feeling about this.

A/N: Do YOU have a good feeling? Hmmm...may be you could tell me your answer in a review! I'm also curious: did you catch any mistakes? Please tell me!
