1 A/N: I'm soooooo sorry it took so long to write this chapter. Please forgive me. I was busy with school and sometimes I got writers' block. I hope you enjoy this chapter. And I do not own Harry Potter!
The Great Hall looked amazing! There were trees here and there decorated with golden and silver ornaments. The small round tables had shiny silver table cloths while other had gold. The most amazing decorations were the magical stars and snow that was falling from the sky whenever they touched the floor they would disappear so that none of the dancers would slip due to the wet snow. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Draco, and Ginny found an empty table and sat down.
"They really did a fantastic job on decorating the place," Ginny said in awe.
"It's quite nice. I just hope the mistletoes don't have any nargles," stated Luna.
Ron smiled and said, "I'm very sure Dumbledore would have checked for nargles before putting up the mistletoe. So do you girls want something to drink?"
"No thanks," replied all three girls.
"Well I'm thirsty so I'm going to go get some punch," said Harry.
"Me too," said Draco. "Are you coming Ron?"
"No I'm fine. I'll just stay here."
"O.K. we'll be right back."
When Harry and Draco came back they all just talked and joked around for a while. Then Draco got up and asked Ginny to dance. Ginny happily accepted and they headed for the dance floor. Harry then asked Hermione and they left Ron and Luna to sit at the table together.
"Well. um. Would you like to dance?" Ron nervously asked.
"I'd love to," Luna replied with a smile.
Together they headed for the dance floor and danced for a while. Ron was actually a good dancer. Luna never thought of him as the dancing type. I guess you could say the same thing for her.
A slow song started to play and Ron asked Luna,
"Would you still like to dance?"
"Certainly."
Ron awkwardly put his arms around Luna's waist and Luna placed her hands on his shoulders. They danced in silence for a minute or so when Luna broke the silence.
"The moon looks beautiful," Luna stated while looking up at the enchanted ceiling.
Ron looked up and saw the silver full moon.
"Yeah. It does. Want to go outside after the song ends?"
"Sounds great."
When the song ended Ron and Luna walked toward the door to the garden. They saw a nice spot on the other side of the garden and on their way there they saw Draco and Ginny and Harry and Hermione looking at the moon as well.
"Are you having fun?" asked Ron.
"Definitely. This night has been wonderful." replied Luna.
"Did you know that there is a man on the moon that controls the weather?" asked Luna
"Oh really?" said Ron with laughter in his voice.
"Yeah. He controls the rain, wind, heat, cold, basically everything that has to do with the weather. I'm thinking that he is in a good mood since it's such a nice night."
"So whenever his mood changes, the weather changes?" Ron asked.
"Yes. We're lucky he is in a good mood."
"We are... Luna can I ask you something?"
"I don't know. Can you?" Luna answered with a big smile.
"May I ask you a question? You've been talking to my mother too much," Ron laughed.
"Of course you may. And I'm going to tell your mother you said that young man," Luna said in a fake stern tone.
"Anything but that please!"
They laughed and Ron finally asked the question.
"Well I've known you for a while now and we've been through a lot together. You know at the department of mysteries and with the war... what I'm trying to say is that I've really gotten to know you and you're a really great person and I was wondering if you would be my girlfriend?"
Ron closed his eyes waiting for her answer. Instead of answering in words Luna stood on her toes and placed her lips against Ron's. It took a while for Ron to register what happened, but then he kissed her back. It was short, but sweet. When they broke apart they were both blushing.
"Is that a yes?" Ron asked shyly.
"Yes! It is!" Luna exclaimed.
They both smiled at each other. Then they felt drops on their heads. They looked up and saw that it was starting to rain. People outside were running inside so that they wouldn't get wet. Draco was running as fast as he could while Ginny was trailing behind him.
"My hair! My new dress robes!" Draco yelled.
"Draco! Wait up! You're going to fall if you don't slow down!" Ginny yelled.
Sure enough, just as Draco saw the door to the Great Hall he slipped on a puddle of water.
"Oh my gosh Draco! Are you OK?"
"What do you think! And stop laughing!"
"Gosh. Settle down. Now you know that you shouldn't run in the rain."
"Oh. I'm so glad I learned something out of this!"
"Haha. Let me help you." Ginny said offering her hand.
Draco grabbed her hand but instead of using it to get up, he pulled her down with him.
"DRACO! MY DRESS!"
"Now you know that if I go down, you go down with me!"
Draco and Ginny looked at each other and laughed at how they looked. Farther behind them Hermione was running with Harry behind her.
"Harry! Hurry up! My hair is going to frizz!"
"I'm coming. Don't get your knickers in a twist."
They reached Draco and Ginny and couldn't help but laugh.
"You think it's funny huh?" Draco asked and a second later Harry and Hermione were on the floor with Draco and Ginny. Their dress robes soaking wet.
"DRACO! GINNY! WHY DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" Hermione exclaimed.
"That's what you guys get for laughing at us," Ginny said.
They all looked at each other and laughed at their situation.
Ron and Luna just stood a safe distance away laughing at what just happened.
"You know what I think?" Ron asked.
"What?" replied Luna.
"I think that the man on the moon is really happy because the rain must be his tears of joy," Ron said.
Luna smiled and said, "I think so too."
Ron offered his hand and they walked back toward the Great Hall, hand in hand, making sure to stay away from Draco and the others.
A/N: Again, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter will be up by Friday! Please read and review!
