Neville and Luna spent the next few days like this, meeting after class just kissing, and sitting in silence like this is how it was supposed to be but Luna started to just question it as she laid in her bed, does she have feelings for him? Could they work as a couple? Did he even want to date her? She began to panic a little and need to talk to her best friend, she pulled on her robes and her bunny slippers, which she just found at the bottom of her trunk and shuffled her way over to Gryffindor. Luckily Ginny was outside the room "I had a feeling you would be coming to visit me" Ginny smiled at her then she realized that Luna was crying and she automatically just hugged her and pulled her into her room. Luna wiped her tears from her face a sniffled "I don't even know why I'm crying! It's ridiculous really" Ginny nodded with agreement "Maybe you really do like him ….like a lot?" Luna smiled and said "I do like him but I don't know if he likes me back, he acts like he does and it feels like he does. He just hasn't asked me yet." Ginny held Luna's hand tightly "I know he likes you lulu, honestly, Ron and Hermione both told me that you're all he talks about, just give him time." She smiled at Luna very reassuringly and Luna took a deep breath "Okay Gin, thank you" She hugged her friend.
Ginny walked Luna back out to the corridor "Go get some sleep Lulu, you need it" Luna smiled "Alright Gin, you're probably right" she laughs and waves goodbye to Ginny and begins to walk along the hallway, her arms a crossed her chest and her bunny slippers making a shuffling noise against the cold floors. She is about to head to her room when something crosses her mind to go check the window that Neville took her too so she climbs all the stairs, counting all the cobwebs and cracks in the floor. When she gets to the top of the stairs she sees him staring out the window with his arm up on the wall and he's leaning against it, she wants to speak but can't conjure up the words, her stomach is doing summersaults so she just shuffles over and puts her arms around his stomach and hugging him, burying her face in his robes. Neville sighs but it wasn't a bad sigh, it was more of a relief type of noise "I went to come see you in your room, but they said you weren't there I uh I got worried" she face saddened and she went to speak but nothing came out, he turned around and hugged her tightly, she hugged him back, she could smell it again, it was warm, welcoming, he smelled like home.
After what felt like an eternity their embrace ended and Neville stepped back from Luna, but he grabbed her hands and held them gently, he smiled at her after looking at her pajamas and bunny slippers, then noticed her face was a little swollen "Were-were you crying Luna? Are you alright?" his grasp on her hands grew a little tighter, she gave a half smile and said "Yeah, I'm alright now, I was just feeling a little panicky so I went and talked to Ginny; that's why I wasn't in my room." Neville frowned a little and asked softly "Is it my fault that you were crying? For any reason?" she automatically turned a red hue and looked away from him, she felt one of his hands let go of hers and he put it under her chin and he lifted her face "Look at me Luna, I'm sorry if I made you cry, I've just been waiting for a perfect time to ask you something" She was blinking back tears in case he told her he didn't want her anymore, even though she wasn't his in the first place. He leans down and kisses her very softly then asks "Luna, will you be my girlfriend?" after kissing him back she smiles like a mad man and says "Yes! I would to be your girlfriend!" she hugs him very tightly and he hugs her back, she nuzzles her face into his neck, and she knew for a fact that he smells like home.
