"Oh Harry tonight was perfect" Ginny sighed, as they walked to the Gyffindor Common Room. After their fancy dinner in the Room of Requirement, Harry suggested they go and relax, but that option was now gone.
The minute they walked in the common room they were greeted by cheers and a few laughs from Dean and Seamus. There was a huge heart with "Harry Loves Ginny" written inside of it. Harry rolled his eyes.
Hermione and Ron were sitting in the corner together talking, Ron seemed very smug, Harry decided not to say anything. "Err..Ginny I'll be back I think I left something downstairs" he said quickly.
The noise in the room was beginning to cause him a headache. "Ok, honey" Ginny said distractedly she was in a deep conversation with Neville about Herbology.
Harry walked out quickly and into the deserted hallway, he sighed today had made him more stressed than happy. He had spent many long hours and now that it was over he was quite relieved.
He walked some more not really knowing where he was going, trying to clear up thoughts in his head. He found himself walking to the lake, watching the smooth glassy surface calmed him."Beautiful huh?" a dreamy voice said.
"Luna!" he said quite startled. "W..what are you doing out here?" he asked her. "How was you dinner with Ginny?" she asked ignoring his question.
"Err...it was fine." Harry said. "We got a chance to talk, so it was quite nice, though I found out we have alot of differences." Harry blushed slightly, he usually wasn't so open.
Harry found that when he was around Luna talking came naturally. Luna smiled. "You know differences are good, just like Knolorks." she said dreamily. Harry laughed. "Knolocks what's so good about them."he asked curiously.
"Well these creatures don't judge you, they like you for who you are, they see through your differences...which makes them quite the perfect companion."she smiled. "Luna, why do you believe in all these things?" Harry asked her.
"Well when you lose trust in the world, it's the only thing you have left, if you don't believe in anything, you'll fall for anything" Luna said losing all her dreaminess in her voice. Harry looked at her contemplating what she said.
"Wow, I never looked at it that way." Harry said smiling as he began to feel completely relaxed. Luna smiled. "Well I'd better go in, it's after curfew." Luna said. "Umm..right" Harry replied.
"Goodnight Harry" she said dreamily as she walked toward Hogwarts. "Night, Luna" he smiled as he watched her leave. He started walking again wondering what this new feeling was, and why everytime he was near Luna he felt happier.
"Harry?" a voice said softly. Hermione was walking toward him from the castle. "What are you doing out here alone?" Hermione said worriedly. "Hermione, hey oh I was just thinking." he said simply.
"Oh, well I had to get some air, Ron's was getting annoying." she laughed. "Is he ok about everything that happened tonight?" he asked turning to look at her. "Err...he's fine really..he's just a little shocked is all.
" Hermione said looking down. "You know how he is." she added. "Yeah, maybe I should talk to him...set him straight..I love Ginny and if he has a problem with it..we need to talk it out." Harry said sternly.
"Yes that what I want you two to do, talk it out..but not tonight." she said sighing. "So are you coming in?" Hermione asked impatiently. "Yeah" he said as he began to walk toward the castle with Hermione in tow.
Harry decided to bring up a topic that he had known about for awhile. "So you and Ron?" he said smirking. "What about me and Ron?" she asked eyebrows raised. Harry smiled when Hermione answered a question with a question she was avoiding the answer.
"Me and Ron are nothing but friends if that's what you mean." she said quite bossily. "Hermione I.." "Ron a git! He wouldn't notice something unless it was shoved under his nose." Hermione said muttering.
She walked at incredible speed to the common room, while Harry nearly had to run to catch up with her. He walked in to find it emptier to his relief and the huge heart was now gone.
Ginny, Neville, Ron, Hermione and a few third years were the only one's there."Harry where did you go?" Ginny said instantly going hug him. "Just outside, I had a bit of a headache." he said. "Oh" Ginny said.
Harry noticed that she was still talking to Neville and Ron sat in the corner drinking what seemed to be his fifth butterbeer. Hermione glared at Ron from the sofa, obviously they had gotten into another fight while he was gone.
"I'm going to call it a night" Harry said tiredly. "Oh no you don't" Ginny said quickly as she ran up to him. "Not without giving me a kiss first."
Harry sighed in relief though he didn't know why. Harry kissed Ginny softly on the lips, while making sure that Ron had turned away. "That's better" she smiled at him.
"I love you so much" she then said. "Love you too Ginny" Harry said before going up the steps. He was very sure that he saw Ron glaring at them disapprovingly.
