Act Before You Think
Chapter 2
Luna's Comfirmation
After class, as Harry was going to get his astronomy folder in his dormitory,
he saw Luna Lovegood. She was walking by herself in the same direction, and so
he thought it would be nice to accompany her.
"Hey Luna," Harry caught up with her. Luna's long legs carried her with quick
speed down the hallways. Her braids of dirty blonde hair swooped down to her waist
and she turned to him with her big gray eyes.
"Harry! How was your summer?" she asked in a sing-
song voice, her eyes suddently twinkling.
"Alright, yours?"
"Fine...Boring.." Luna response was one big sigh.
"Um, i'm heading over to get some books in my dorm, do you want to come
with me?"Harry asked. He knew in his head he seemed a bit forward..just asking a
girl to his sleeping quarters but he wasn't going to do anything. Being Luna's usual
innocent self, she did not realize this possible intention and agreed happily. They
walk to the Gryffindor tower was full of amused giggles from Luna and stressed-out
complaints from Harry. Even if Harry was starting to annoy himself, Luna was one
of those people who listened to him despite anything.
When the two got to the Common room portrait door, the Fat Lady
gasped. "You do not expect me to let in a Hufflepuff, do you Mr. Potter?" She
sounded almost hurt.
"Pixie Dust," Harry smiled sweetly at her. She looked a bit annoyed,
probably at her own passiveness, but she said a curse word under her breath
as she let them in. Luna followed suit into the red and gold infused room. She
looked all around curiously. "Uh, Luna?" Harry smiled.
"Your common room's very pretty,"she grinned. Sun bathed the beds
in the seventh year boys' dormitories.Luna sat herself down as Harry rumaged
through his bedside table for his astronomy folder. He always managed to lose it.
Harry got on his hands and knees and looked under Ron's bed. Ron had his
folder the day before. A dust bunny the size of a snitch stared back at him with
angry eyes, but no folder.
When Harry looked back up, he found Luna laying comfortably on his bed.
She was, oddly enough, inhaling the smell of his sleeping shirt deeply.
"This shirt of yours smells wonderful," she stated through closed eyes. Harry was
shocked.
"Uh..thank you?" he eyed her with embarassment.Harry went over to her
and sat on next to her on the bed. He took in her resting frame. He never noticed
how pretty Luna actually was.
"May I ask you a question, Harry?" she whispered, her eyes still closed.
She had her head rested upon her hands. There was a certain surreality to all this.
Part of him was not sure of what he should say or do, but part of him just wanted
to look at her and maybe..
"Sure..anything,"he answered.
With no shame whatsoever, Luna began.."What does a kiss feel like?"
She said this as if it was the most common subject to talk about. But at that
moment, his mind went completely blank. The only real kiss he had had up
until now was with that one kiss with Ginny. Harry did not really know how to
explain the feeling.
"Haven't you been kissed before?" He understood this to be a dumb
question when he remembered her question.
"No. I've never kissed anyone. I want to. It looks nice," her dreamy
voice was seeping through a bit.
"It is nice," he commented. Luna sat up and twirled her braid around
her fingers. Harry did not know how to admit to himself that he would not mind
kissing Luna right now.
"Can you show me?" she asked shyly, fidgeting with her braid some more.
"How a kiss feels like?"Harry comfirmed. He had not realized that she had
her hand on his thigh. Luna nodded like a little girl, unsure of the reaction her answer
would generate.
"Um..Okay,"Harry scooted closer to her a bit. This seemed more awkward
than his terrible first kiss with Cho..but this was just a lesson..right?
Harry leaned his and gently kissed Luna on the lips, then backed away some
two inches to see her reaction. Her eyes were wide in shock, but suddently
softened.
"You're not a very good kisser, Harry," Luna said this plain and simple, before
bidding him goodbye and leaving Harry utterly and hopelessly confused.
