Only one review for the last chapter, but it has been only up for a day so that may be why, but other chapters have got more reviews faster. So I'll ask again for you guys to please, please, please review. Each and every one I get, I appreciate so much. I would also like to ask for you to read read my message at the end of this chapter.
It had been less than twenty four hours since George and Luna had shared their first kiss, and as George sat with Luna besides the tree trunk in their spot of the garden, he couldn't believe he had waited so long for it to happen.
His arms were around Luna, who was sat between his legs; the back of her head resting against his chest.
She was watching the sun disappear int the landscape, but she took the time to turn around and look at him; almost as if she was checking he was really there.
Unable to be just watching her any longer, George leant forward and kissed the crook of Luna's neck. She turned to look at him over her shoulder. ''It's because of that, that your family know we're together.''
''I don't know what your talking about'' He lied; he was very aware that, had he been able to keep his hands to himself, his entire family would not yet know that he and Luna were an item.
(Flashback)
After several minutes of standing on the street of Diagon Alley, George and Luna finally apparated back to the Burrow. George had purposely chosen to apparate to the Burrow's kitchen, having skipped dinner, he was now starving.
Luna walked to the grandfather clock in the living room to check the time; she smiled at what she saw, as the face of the grandfather clock did not tell the time. Around the edges were labels such as 'work', 'school' and 'home', and there was six hands to the clock; each showing the face of each resident Weasley. Luna looked in fascination as the hand with George's face moved from 'work' to 'home', where all the other hands were facing, except Arthur's; whose was still pointing to work.
George stood behind Luna, chewing on the newly made sandwich he was holding in his hand. Luna swivelled round and closed the distance between them.
Luna took the sandwich from George's hand and placed it on the table beside her, she took one of his hands in hers, while her other hand went up to his cheek.
George looked at Luna, the feel of her thumb running along his cheek felt so natural to him.
Luna went to kiss George's cheek, but he intercepted and captured her lips with his first; causing both to chuckle slightly as their lips began moving in sync.
Ginny had decided to spend sometime in her room; Luna was still not back from her dinner with the possible buyer of The Quibbler, her mother was knitting jumpers in her room, her father was working late, Percy was searching for jobs yet again in his room and she had not seen George or Ron for a couple of hours.
Having cleaned her room, she was now making her way downstairs to fetch a book to read. However, what she did not expect to find was her brother and Luna snogging in the kitchen.
She quickly retraced her steps and quietly walked back upstairs. She couldn't help but mutter to herself ''It's about time.''
(The next morning)
At the breakfast table, George did not miss the looks Ginny was giving him; whenever he interacted with Luna, he saw his sister smirk and share a look with Ron.
''I need a couple of you to de-gnome the garden today.'' Molly looked around the table for volunteers.
''Sorry Mum, I'm going to be with Hermione all day, and Ginny's with Harry, remember?'' Ron replied, through a mouthful of food.
''Oh yes, of course I almost forgot.''
''I'll do it Molly.'' Everyone at the table turned to Luna, who had spoken, nobody wanted to de-gnome the garden unless they were made to.
''Luna that's awfully sweet of you dear, but you're our guest.''
''I really don't mind, I haven't got anything else to do, and I've actually been thinking of getting a job so that I will have something to do.'' Luna's face was sincere and almost keen.
''Alright dear, if you're sure, but you can't do it on your own; those gnomes can be a menace some days.''
''I'll help her Mum, the shop's closed today.'' Luna turned to George and smiled. ''Those little buggers don't like me anyway, not since Fred and I set some stink bombs on to them a couple of years back.''
''Well then, if you two can take care of that sometime this morning that would be lovely.''
Luna and George had begun making their way to the end of the garden once they had finished their breakfast.
''Do you think Ginny knows?'' Luna asked as she walked alongside George.
'I'm guessing by the looks we were being given at breakfast, yes.''
''What will your mum say if she finds out?''
''Well, I guess it would begin with Mum sitting both of us down and having a certain talk with us.'' George cringed has he said the last part, and Luna's eyes widened at the horror of the idea. ''And then she would tell me that if she ever saw me in your bedroom she would ship me off to Azkaban.''
Luna laughed, George looked at her in a way that told her he was serious, and this made her laugh even more. ''Well if that will be our punishment...'' Luna began to walk away from George ''...then I guess we'll have to stay away from each, just to be safe.''
George walked over to her and held her to him; he spoke as he leaned in for a kiss. ''I am willing to take the risk.''
Before the kiss could get serious, George's eyes widened and he pulled away from Luna.
''What is it?'' Luna asked, noticing his expression.
''Hey Perce, I thought you had gone out.'' He wasn't speaking to Luna; he was looking over her shoulder at his older brother.
''I just went for a morning walk.'' Percy said, a hint of a smirk on his face. ''What are you two up to?''
''Oh well, we're just going to de-gnome the garden.''
''Really, I didn't know there was gnomes in Luna's mouth.'' Laughing at his own joke, Percy began making his way to the house, leaving a blushing Luna and an irritated George.
''Bloody hell, after all these years, he goes and gets himself a sense of humour, and it's at my expense.''
''George Weasley!'' The shout of Molly Weasley could have shaken the ground it was so loud and sudden.
''I'm going to kill Percy.'' George said, looking at Luna, who was clearly worried.
''Don't worry, you'll be fine, it's me we have to be worrying about.'' George put his arm around her as they began walking towards the house and gave her a reassuring smile.
As George reached the front door, Percy saw stood nearby; a guilty look plastered across his face. ''I assumed she knew.''
''It's fine Perce, I'll kill only you if she doesn't kill me.'' George looked away from Percy and faced his mother; whose face was currently the same shade as her hair, her hands on her hips.
''I want a word with you George.'' Molly demanded, she turned and walked into the living room; George turned back to Luna and Percy looking terrified, before following his mother.
(End of Flashback)
Luna laughed at the memory of George's face, ''you did look terrified.''
''How was I supposed to know that the only reason she was mad was because we hadn't told her we were finally together? Usually that woman if Medieval when it comes to the idea of relationships. And you were worried too.''
''Yes, but I was worried for you.'' Luna's excuse was masked with a sweet smile.
''Sure you were. Anyways, if you had grown up in this house and had seen Mum when she did get angry, then you would understand why I looked so terrified.''
Luna giggled and kissed his cheek, ''so have you thought about how to get back at Percy yet?''
''No, but I'm going to go through the shelves at the shop and see what I can find.''
''Can I be around when you put your plan into action?''
''You can be there to pick out the method of attack if you like?'' Luna moved away from George and turned so that she could sit in the grass and face him.
''Do you need me to come help in the shop?'' she asked.
''Well I happen to have remembered something you told Mum yesterday; about you thinking of getting a job, and I know that Ron is starting his aura training soon, so I'm going to need a new co-worker, and I was thinking...' George trailed off; weary of how Luna may respond to what he had to say, however the meaning of George's words had already become apparent to Luna; whose face had suddenly lit up.
''Are you asking me to come work with you?'' Luna looked at George, unable to hide the hope in her eyes.
''Only if you don't mind being around me for most of the week, and of course if you're not bothered about me being your boss, and if you actually want to.''
Luna leapt from her place amongst the grass and into George's lap, ''I would love to''
''Okay, your hired.'' Luna's gratitude to him was felt as her lips covered his, and her hands began to run through his hair.
''Oh for goodness sake you two.'' Percy once again caused the pair to break apart. ''Do you wait for me to come outside? Mum say's dinners ready.''
Percy shook his head at his brother and Luna, and walked towards the Burrow, with the annoyed couple fuming silently behind him.
Next chapter; Luna begins working at Weasley Wizard Wheezes, and she remembers what happened between her and George following the DA meeting in chapter one.
I want you guys to let me know what you want me to do with this story. I am happy to continue this story and to follow what happens from where I am now, up to when Hogwarts reopens for Luna's last year and onwards. But I am also willing to wrap this story up if you think that would be a better idea, now that George and Luna are together; as the next couple of chapters may end up being filler chapters before getting to some key events again.
I have a couple more ideas for George/Luna stories and will begin to prepare them, either alongside this story or once I have completed this story.
Please let me know what you think, I will take what you all think into account as I write this story, and greatly appreciate any of your views :D
