Chapter XXXVII: Hold On

Luna sent out the invitations early a month before the wedding. They were beautiful white cards that were enchanted with a picture, showing Harry & herself dancing in a ballroom. Harry had liked it, he had told Luna it reminded him of his parents.

The weeks became colder and the days became shorter, and before either Harry or Luna realized, it was December. The children would be coming home from Hogwarts in just two days, and then two days later, they were to be married. Luna had only the slightest appearance of a bump, her lavender robes protruded just enough. Their child would be born in July, just like Harry.

Luna was sitting in front of the fireplace one night, stoking it with the poker, when Knoby came in carrying a tray of tea and lemon flavored scones. "Miss Luna, your tea and scones are ready. Master Harry, I brought you the paper, as you asked." Knoby said, sitting the tea and scones down, then handing Harry the Prophet tucked under the elves arm.

"Thank you, Knoby." Luna said, and she reached over and tugged a piece of lint off the elf's clothing. "There you are."

The elf scampered off.

"Harry?" Luna asked, as Harry straightened his paper.

"Yes?" Harry looked particularly frazzled, Luna saw her red hand prints still hadn't disappeared from around his neck.

"What do you think we should name our little one?" she took a bite off of her scone, and scrumptious crumbs fell to the ground. "The Practical Parent Review says we should determine this early on. What do you think? If it is a girl?" Luna sipped her tea.

Harry took his time answering Luna, and Luna had to wonder if he had given it any previous thought. "I think a good name would be…you know, I have a few in mind actually." Harry sat the paper down on his lap, giving it up for now.

"Oh really. Why Harry, I am proud of you. What are they then?" Luna resituated herself near the fire, her left side was getting chilly.

"I think, for a girl- Leighton is nice. I've also thought Joelle- there was this muggle across the street from me growing up, she sometimes slipped me cookies when my aunt and uncle were restricting me. Lysandra, it just stuck with me from when Hermione used to read plays in the common room. Then there is Juno, it sounds like a powerful name."

"Juno was the goddess of marriage and childbirth. Harry," Luna fixed him with a look. "are you being intellectual about this? I'm so proud." She blew him a kiss. "And should you produce another boy?"

"I was thinking of maybe, Colin. You know why as well as I do. Or Gabriel is nice, though it sounds almost unattainable. Darcy is a good choice." he saw the look Luna was giving him. "It was a character from a book in the Muggle world. Anyway, there's also Padraig. It sounds like Patrick, but cooler- you get my meaning."

Luna thought the names sounded intriguing, and she knew that her first born would have to have a wonderful name. She pictured herself all sweaty and her face covered in tears, as she held her offspring for the first time. She longed to be a mother, and her heart swelled with joy as she rubbed her stomach.

"Well, Harry, I am glad to see you've thought of some names. I like Leighton, and Padraig best of all." Luna finished off her scone and swirled her tea around in it's cup.

"Will you still be asking Lily to be your maid of honor?" Harry asked, folding his hands together and unbuttoning the top of his shirt, choosing the comfort of Muggle attire tonight.

Luna noticed him undoing his clothing, and raised her eyebrows. "Yes. I think she will like it. Will you still be asking the boys to be your groomsmen?"

Harry nodded. "With Teddy as the best man."

Luna smiled. "So he's already told you yes?" she was beaming. "Oh that is marvelous! Will he be inviting a guest?" Luna sauntered over to Harry, and laid her head down on his legs, looking up into his green eyes.

"He'll be bringing Victoire. A welcome guest indeed. I'm hoping he'll try and settle down a little now." Harry's voice left him as Luna started unfastening his pants.

"Have Ron & Hermione returned the invitation?" Luna reached into his pants and pulled playfully, causing Harry's response to be delayed.

"Yes. They're coming. The rest of the Weasley's as well." Harry felt his current situation was getting harder and harder to deal with. Luna's hands did a great deal to relieve his tension, however.

"Well, I'm glad to see they hold no grudges." Luna smiled, and looked at Harry, who was sweating. "I like to hold things. Harry. I like to hold things."

"I like it when you do." Harry leaned back, and Luna happily twisted and worked Harry like clay. She hummed along, as Harry's body tensed and relaxed. Her hands never ceasing their workings as the minutes wore on.
Her hands were cool against his hot flesh, and every second was excruciatingly beautiful in its length. There was a certain joy about receiving a hand job, and Luna gave the best Harry had ever had. He thought of the girls who had given him hand jobs, none were quite so talented. Katie Bell had been Harry's first, in the changing rooms late one night after Quidditch. Romilda had attempted to give Harry one, but halfway through she lost patience and ended up going down on him instead. Ginny had been so upset when she found out she wasn't the first to taste Harry- and she never treated Katie the same after finding out she was the first to touch Harry.
Luna though, she was the queen of pleasure, and Harry was glad that she would be the last woman to ever touch him there.

As Luna squeezed Harry one last time, he felt himself let go, and Luna smiled victoriously as Harry shook. "Harry, you just can't keep your clothes clean, can you?" Luna smiled, as she laid a kiss on his head.

"You're the worst, Luna." Harry's head rolled on his shoulders.

"And that's why you love me." Luna poked him in the chest.

"Do I ever." Harry sighed heavily.
