"Luna? Luna, please wake up!"

She woke to find Ginny standing over her, the redhead's eyes were wide and empathetic.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Ginny knelt in front of her, checking her forehead and pulse.

"Ginny…I-" her voice broke, and Ginny pulled her close.

"Shh, there there. I'm here to help, everything will be alright." Ginny whispered soothingly as she smoothed Luna's hair.

"I-I told him I loved him, b-but he h-h he ha-." She choked on the word.

"Oh honey, he doesn't hate you. You've been friends for years." Ginny squeezed Luna's hands gently. "Now, let's go downstairs and make you some warm tea." She cast a drying and warming spell over her best friend and helped her down the stairs…

"What the hell happened yesterday Remus?" Harry asked, emerging from the fireplace. Remus sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"We had an argument." He replied simply.

"The hell you did. It was more of a screaming fight from my prospective." Harry said, sitting beside him.

"You heard us." It wasn't a question.

"We stopped by for a visit yesterday to find you two in the backyard shrieking like banshees. Ginny cried so hard I had to take her home and sedate her." Harry explained quietly. "So, if I may ask, what was it all about?" Remus looked up at him, his face showing just how weary he was.

"She loves me, and I don't know what to do."

"Do you love her?" Harry asked.

"Yes, but-"

"No buts Remus." Harry cut him off, "If you love and she loves you, then why complicate things? It what made your relationship with Sirius take so long. She'll be gone in a blink of an eye if you wait, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Remember, most werewolves live to be a hundred and forty, and more importantly, she knows you…She might even know you better than Sirius did." With that, Harry walked to the door, "Come on, you've got to eat something, you look faint."

Harry disapperated as soon as he met Ginny in the front room, whispering quickly,

"They've got to solve this on their own dear." Luna heard the crack, which nearly set her off yet again when Remus walked in. She glanced at him quickly, nervously gulped down her tea, and tried to walk past him calmly, but he caught her in the doorway.

"What do you want?" She squeaked nervously, not meeting his eyes.

"I need something." He whispered back.

"And what would that be?" She hissed back.

"Your love." He replied.

"You can't just make it all better by saying that. Stop making fun of me Remus." She tried push past him, but he held her fast in place.

"I love you though. I've loved you since the first day you screamed at Severus for putting a drop of silver on me while I slept." He stepped closer, narrowing the space between them, and any room for her to escape.

"Prove it." She breathed through her lips. He lifted a hand to her face, and she recoiled into the wall. A shudder raced through her as he drew her lips to his and a light kiss fluttered across them, driving her mad with anticipation. She pulled him close in one quick motion, straining to stay high enough to reach him without falling off balance. They broke away for a moment, a tear falling from Luna's cheek. Remus caught it quickly and wiped it between his fingers.

"We need to talk…" Luna said softly, but Remus held a finger to her lips.

"You gave me enough excuses yesterday. Enough talking." He swooped her into his arms and carried her up the stairs. He disapperated halfway up, frustrated with his nerves on edge and Luna in his arms.

"I love you Remus," Luna breathed into his ear as he set her down.

"I love-" He tried to reply, but Luna was on to other things now, standing on his trunk she kissed him easily, shedding his shirt and tie to the floor as he strained to keep up with a trick spell of his own.

"Cheater…" Luna laughed as he kissed her merrily and swung her onto the bed. He lost his hands in her hair as she laughed lightly and he covered her with kisses. He paused when he found her staring at the long thin scar on his neck. He hovered above her, unsure what to do, when she spoke.

"It goes farther than I thought…" She sighed and traced it down to his lower abdomen. Her touch was warm and light as a feather on his bare skin, making him shiver when she pulled away from him, feeling how tense he was. She reached and tangled her fingers in his hair, leaving her thumb to stroke his cheek and kissed him firmly.

"You're shaking dear." She murmured.

"As are you." He replied, and she pulled him close.

"Tell me you need me." He whispered, she looked into his eyes,

"Remus J. Lupin, I love you; I need you." She breathed into his ear and he pulled her closer than ever.
