Author's Comments: Hi everyone! This was the hardest chapter to write so far, but it's here now! PLEASE Review! I want to know what ya think! Lovies! Lillie.

The sky was every colour of the rainbow as dinner began in Molly's favorite garden. The cherry trees were in full bloom, and everything in the world smelled the delicious. Arthur appeared just as they sat down, and everyone was only too happy to see him. Hermione had joined them as well, and was carrying four loaves of sliced bread to the table as night grew nearer. They feasted merrily, talking about the latest fashions, old things they remembered from times at school, and how their lives were so much more blissful now that they had seen the world beyond Hogwarts.

The garden lit up with fireflies once the sky turned dark, and everyone at the table became calm and loving. Harry had Ginny on his lap, Ron and Hermione were snuggled close on a bench, Molly and Arthur were seated close together, and Remus and Luna sat at the head of the table, Remus' arm hung off the back of Luna's chair as she leaned back and scrunched her legs onto the chair. The dishes had been cleaned up, and music was softly drifting through the air as they continued on to talk of more serious matters.

"I hope the Quibbler is more profitable now Luna, ever since we exposed The Prophet and Rita Skeeter you've gained some loyal readers." Harry mused, sipping his glass of wine. Luna nodded, swirling her own and replied,

"I've gotten so many readers that I had to buy a printing house. I'm hiring house elves to help print and ship them all out. The surprising thing is, people as fascinated my magical creatures as I am. It's really quite enjoyable now that I don't have to write about the war…" Silence crept across the table as everyone remembered all those they had lost.

A loud 'THUMP!' Sent them all flying out of their chairs, causing Molly to shriek,

"It's another Boggart Arthur! We're cursed, I knew it!" They all breathed hard, clinging to each other as Luna rose from her chair.

"Don't worry Molly; I'll take care of it." She mused, and ran into the house, her wand stretched in front of her.

"Well, that was a nasty surprise. Boggarts seem to be favoring our house lately…I do hope they'll go away for good soon…" Silence settled in once again as they all calmed down and went back to sipping their wine. Remus broke the silence after a few tense seconds,

"I'd like to thank you all for your help recently…You've no idea how grateful I am."

"We're here to help whenever you need us Remus. You've done more than your share of saving us over the years…It was time we paid you back for your kindness." Harry replied, glancing at his watch. "Oy! Look at the time! We've got to get going. Thanks for dinner Mrs. Weasley." Everyone said their goodbyes and Ginny and Harry disapperated before their eyes. Hermione and Ron decided soon after to retire, and Remus got up once they left.

"I guess we should be going as well. I'll help Luna finish that Boggart and we'll be off. Molly, Arthur." He bowed his head to each in turn and headed into the house.

A cry echoed through the house as Remus entered, and he soon found Luna on the second floor cowering in a corner as the Boggart attacked her mentally.

"Luna, Luna, look at me! It's alright, it's just a Boggart! You're fine, I've got you, I'm here now." He pulled her close as she shuddered in fear.

"I thought I'd be fine…I-I thought I could handle it but not this, never this…Look at it Remus it's hideous!" She sobbed, and he looked at the boggart.

It was two Boggarts essentially, one in the form of Greyback, and another he was unsure of. But what he did know was the Greyback was attacking the form on the ground. He quickly uttered a spell under his breath, and the Boggarts exploded in a puff of smoke. He looked down at Luna, who was still sobbing into his robes, and they disapperated.

Remus laid Luna on her bed near the window as carefully as possible, and moved to light a fire. The room was small, and only the bed, two bookshelves, and the fireplace occupied the room. Luna curled into a ball next to the window and looked out, tears streaking her face in violent streams. The fire finally lit, Remus sat next to her, stroking her hair until she turned towards him.

"Thank you." She whispered, and snuggled close to his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and cradled her face with his hand, gently wiping her tears away with his thumb.

"You're welcome." He replied, and thought back to the figure on the floor. Luna had stopped crying, but was still tense within his arms.

"Luna, what was it that you were so afraid of? What could make you fall apart so badly?" he thought out loud, and then realized who the figure was. "Me…But you weren't there, and yet…" Luna kissed him softly on the cheek.

"I-I was…concerned for you Remus. You could have died…I was terrified, and that's all I could think of…All I wanted to do was save you…I didn't remember-it was a Boggart…And I-it attacked me. I-it tried to KILL me." She whispered, her voice sounding fragile; as if it were glass about to shatter.

Remus sat, stunned in silence as Luna began to cry softly once again. He didn't think, but caressed her chin and kissed her softly, shushing her cry of surprise. He began to wipe her tears away from her cheeks and kissed her again, once on each cheek. Then, he carefully shifted and began to get up, but she grabbed his arm.

"No, please! Stay with me…tonight." Luna cried softly, and he sat back down.

"Alright, I'll stay." He whispered, amazed to hear himself say it so anxiously. Luna walked to her bathroom and changed into shorts and a large sweater as Remus conjured up his pajama pants and quickly changed and put out the fire. Luna crossed the room and crawled into bed next to the wall as Remus climbed in next to her, his favorite book in hand.

"Mind if I read a little?" He asked as she curled up next to him.

"No." She replied happily, and he pulled her close.

"Lumos." He whispered and shoved his wand behind his ear so he could read while Luna slept…

Remus woke to find Luna asleep on his bare chest. Her cotton sweater was warm and fluffy against his skin, making him shiver whenever she moved. He traced his fingers through her silky hair, which smelled faintly of bubble gum and curled around his finger tips, making him laugh. She woke with a sigh and looked up at him with a sleepy half smile. The moonlight shivered in her light blue eyes, both scaring and awing him at the same time.

"How are you feeling?" He whispered.

"Better than ever." She whispered back, and snuggled up next to him. "I need to tell you something Remus." He turned his head and looked into her eyes, their faces inches apart.

"Do you remember when I used to care for you during the war?" Remus nodded, and Luna continued, "Well, you always seemed…uncomfortable when Neville came in. But, seeing as he's gone now, I remembered something that I've always tried to forget…" She wrapped her arms under his arms and snuggled closer. "I forgot how much I love you." She whispered lightly. Remus, pulled her even closer, cradling her face next to his on the pillow.

"You know the risks of loving a werewolf…You would be shunned, no, rejected by society…The paper wouldn't sell anymore and I'd always be running off for three days a month. I know you know that, but did you ever consider the age difference? I am nearly old enough to be your father Luna, did you ever think of that?" Luna sighed and tilted her head so that her forehead rested against Remus'.

"It doesn't matter to me how old you are. Tonks loved you, why can't I?" She stared into his glowing amber eyes and cupped his cheek, stroking it lightly with her thumb.

"We can try…as long as you are aware of the dangers. People like me; well…we tend to bring chaos and pain with us wherever we go…" He breathed.

"You bring me nothing but happiness Remus." She replied, and swept a kiss across his lips.
