"Where did you escape from? You little monkey," Luna said and scooped him up hugging him tight. "I bet your Mum is wondering where you went."
Sure enough Ginny appeared at the end of the house with a frantic look on her face. "Oh, Thank Merlin, He is here! Mum I found him he is with Percy and Luna." She yelled over her shoulder. "I turned around for a minute and he disappeared. What am I going to do with two of them?" She laughed rubbing her rounded belly. Both Percy and Luna looked flushed and slightly disheveled, raising her eyebrow she looked back and for between the two of them.
"I'll carry him back for you Gin, and then I can help with dinner."Luna offered and made her escape quickly out the door.
Ginny noticed the look Luna had given Percy before leaving that was something she was going to have to find out about. With Luna first she was more likely to be open about it, Percy would tell her she was interfering.
"Dinners in an hour Percy, I'll see you then."
Luna was busying herself in the kitchen when Ginny came in.
"Your mum took James up to his room to play so I thought I would start on the potatoes."She rambled "It's the only thing anyone ever trusts me with."
"Are you alright Luna? Your rambling and you look a little flushed."
"Yes I am fine; James just interrupted a very passionate kiss. You know I never knew Percy was such a good kisser."
"What! You? Percy? What?" Ginny said, shock written all over her face.
"Percy kissed me in the kitchen; I shouldn't say it was good because it was more like excellent."
"I think I am hallucinating," Ginny said and lowered herself onto a chair "Maybe pregnancy affects your hearing. Could you repeat what you said please?"
"I said Percy kissed me in the kitchen, it probably would have gone further but we got interrupted."
"I didn't know you were interested in Percy. These are things you're supposed to tell your best friend."
"I didn't know I was, so there was nothing to tell now I am."
"Luna I love you like a sister, but the way you look at sex is a lot different than how Percy does, don't hurt him."
"I didn't say I was going to have sex with him, I just said I was interested I don't sleep with every man that interests me, otherwise all the Weasleys men would be on my list." Luna said laughing
She had a lot to think about, Percy was too close to the people she loved to risk making a misstep. The Weasleys were like a second family to her, she didn't know Percy well; he always seemed slightly off removed from the rest of the family, like he didn't fit. Luna could understand that she had felt like that most of her life. People thought she was odd so she never got close to them, Until Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny she never had any close friends. Percy said not to think but know that she was given the chance she had to, and avoid him in the process. If he got his hands on her again she wasn't going to be able to think.
She was driving him mad; he knew she was avoiding him. It had been two weeks; Luna was usually at the house at least three times a week. He hadn't seen her; he'd been watching. He had even stooped as low as to ask Ginny about her. She had gotten this strange look on her face and said Luna was busy at the Quibbler.Stupid bloody magazine how could someone be so busy making up imaginary stories that they couldn't visit their best friend. Then he remembered the two months he had spent locked in his apartment writing his first book, he had barley spoken to anyone when anyone had come in he had merely grunted at them and continued to work. His work however was not some silly nonsense it may be fiction but it had important social and political views wound through the fiction. She couldn't avoid him forever, Fred and Georges birthday party was this weekend she was bound to be there he would just have to corner her.
