A/N: Sorry the update took so long. I hope that you enjoy it :)

Harry appeared at the front door of Luna's flat with a loud ''pop''. He knocked on the door and looked around nervously as he waited. Soon, he heard the clatter of the locks on the other side of the door. Harry quickly tried to fix his uncooperative mass of black hair and patted his right pocket to make sure that the ring was still there. The second he brought his hand back down the front door opened. There stood Luna with a dreamy, yet breath-taking smile on her face. She wore a red sundress with a white floral pattern and black vans. Her golden hair flowed down to her waist. The usual radish earrings can be seen dangling from her earlobes and her cork necklace can be seen as well.

"Hello Harry!" she greeted him enthusiastically, with a hug and a quick peck on the lips. "Come in. I'm just doing some last minute checks for blahteians. You know how they love to turn on random lights around the house and waste electricity."

Harry chuckled as he stepped into the flat. "Yeah, they like to do that in my flat too."

Luna closed the door behind him and skipped forward. She checked every light switch and outlet, humming an odd tune as she did so. Harry just sat down on the electric blue couch and waited. Despite the flamboyant color of the couch it was rather comfortable. Harry couldn't recall all of the naps he took on here, each resulting after sitting on it for less than five minutes. Soon Luna flowed back into the living room with a multicolored bag.

"Well, I'm ready to go Harry," she said as she stuffed a spray bottle filled with liquid that literally sparkled. Harry didn't want to know what that was for...

"Come talk for me before we leave love," Harry said while holding out his hand towards her.

Luna smiled and walked towards him. She grabbed his outstretched hand and he gently pulled her towards him, placing her on his lap. Luna placed an arm around his shoulders and looked at him with piercing, large blue eyes.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" she asked

"Well...how are you doing on this fine day?" Harry asked as he wrapped his arms around her small waist.

"I'm doing quite well. Actually, Father wrote to me. He had a great day so far. He said that he found some evidence that would help prove the existence of the crumpled..."

Harry cut her off by placing his lips against hers. She smiled against his lips and gently pulled away.

"I thought that you wanted to talk to me," she giggled.

"I lied," Harry said, flashing her the sideways smile that always made her heart race.

Harry leaned in for another kiss and Luna happily closed the gap between their lips...

Half an hour later Harry and Luna were riding in a taxi making its way towards the zoo. Luna sat there with a serene smile on her face, looking out the window. Harry grabbed her hand and gently squeezed it twice. Luna smiled at him and gently squeezed his hand twice as well. It was a habit of theirs. He saw it as their way of telling each other that they were always going to be there for one another and that they loved each other. Soon, the taxi pulled up to the zoo entrance. Harry paid the fare for the taxi and helped Luna get out. Together they made their way past the long lines. He had bought the tickets in advance in order to avoid standing in line for such a long time in the unusual heat. When they handed over their tickets they got their hands stamped. This greatly intrigued Luna. He had to explain that it was done so that people who left the zoo for an errand or to get something that they forgot in the car can get back into the zoo without having to pay for another ticket.

"Well that's nice. Muggles are always so considerate. Oh look! Maps!"

Luna skipped towards the huge map of the zoo that had small compartments filled with folded maps. Her excitement made Harry laugh. He again nervously patted his right pocket. The ring's presence both calmed him and freaked him out. He was ready to spend the rest of his life with Luna. A life without her didn't seem like a life at all. With the ring in his pocket he was one step closer to a life with her. He prayed that she would say yes. As he thought that, his palms began to get sweaty.

Luna skipped back towards him with a map in hand.

"Oh Harry, there are so many things to see! The polar bears, lions, gorillas, and monkeys. Where should we start?" she looked up at him, her bright blue eyes shining with excitement.

Harry looked down at the map, "How about the panda bears? It looks like we are here just in time for the exhibit."

"That sounds great. Let's go shall we?" Luna said excitedly as she folded up that map and put it in her bag.

Harry grabbed her hand and quickly kissed her on the lips. The day then went by rather smoothly. They walked from exhibit to exhibit. Luna was fascinated with each and every one of them. He had been to the zoo before, but he was not able to enjoy it then. He had been forced to go for Dudley's birthday. Now he was able to enjoy himself and not worry about doing something that would cause his uncle to take away dinner. He was hit with a wave of nostalgia when they reached the snakes. He told Luna about what happened that day he accidentally set a snake on his cousin Dudley. She laughed and then worried if the snake was able to make it out safely. Harry reassured her that the snake would have surely found a way out safely.

For lunch they had pizza. They shared one of the rather large cups since the food there was very expensive. They were both glad that although the cup itself was expensive they got free refills.

"This pizza is rather good. I like how it has a good amount of sauce," just as Luna said this she looked up across the table and saw that Harry was wiping off some sauce from the pizza with a napkin.

"Too much bloody sauce...," he mumbled as he grabbed another napkin, a look of frustration on his face.

Luna laughed, causing Harry to look up at her.

"What's so funny?" he asked with a smile.

"Is sauce really that bad?"

"It's not that it's bad. It's just that there is too much of it."

"I think that there is a perfect amount of sauce on it."

"Well, you like weird stuff so..."

Luna smirked at him and said, "You're right. I do like you after all..."

Harry laughed and said, "Well played."

Luna laughed and continued eating. Harry stole a glance at her as she ate. She had the cutest habit of covering her mouth as she chewed. It had bothered him at first, but he grew to love it. It was another one of her quirky habits that made her the woman that he loves.

After lunch they visited more exhibits. He asked Luna for the map and examined it as she watched two baby bears play. "Where would be the best place to propose?" he thought to himself. He scanned the map. Zebras. We haven't seen those yet, and they kind of remind me of a non-scary looking thestrals, which are Luna's favorite animals. Perfect.

Harry then asked Luna if she would like to see the zebras. To his delight she was very excited to see them. "They remind me so much of thestrals,"she cooed.

He smiled to himself and led the way. As they got closer to the zebra exhibit Harry's hands began to sweat. He kept having to let go of Luna's hand in order to wipe off the sweat on his jeans.

"Are you alright Harry?" Luna asked. "Your hands don't usually sweat this much unless its summer."

He smiled down at her and reassured her that he was alright, "It is rather hot for March."

Luckily for him, this was indeed true. She smiled up and him and proceeded to grab his hand again. Finally, they reached the zebras. She went up to the rail and excitedly looked at striped animals. One zebra was particularly close to the rail, which really made her happy. Harry stood back a little, trying to calm himself. He felt like there was a war going on inside him. His heart was beating fast and his palms were sweating more than ever. This was it. It's now or never, he told himself. He slowly walked up to Luna and grabbed her hand. She turned to look up at him with a smile on her face.

"Luna, I need to talk to you."

"Is everything alright Harry?"

He took in a deep breath and spoke.

"Luna, you know that I love you with all of my heart. Being with you has made me the happiest that I have ever been in my life. I can't imagine a life without you by my side. So, what I am trying to say is this." He got down on one knee and nervously brought out the velvet blue box and revealed the ring it contained. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you, Luna Lovegood, make me the happiest man on earth and be my wife?"

Luna gasped and put her hand to her mouth. Her eyes filled with tears and she slowly brought her hand down to reveal a big smile. She threw herself at him and engulfed him in a tight hug.

"Is that a yes?" Harry nervously chuckled.

Luna pulled away and looked him in the eyes, "Yes Harry Potter. Yes, I will be your wife."

A huge smile broke across Harry's face. He leaned down and kissed her passionately. Luna returned the kiss. He gently pulled away, smiled at her, and removed the ring from its box. Then he gently took her hand in his and slipped the ring onto her finger. She looked down at it and her breath caught in her throat.

"Oh Harry. It's beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you."

Luna smiled and kissed him again.

"We should probably stand up. We're starting to attract attention," Harry said as he smiled at the love of his life.

Luna agreed and they helped each other up. Just then a voice rang out from a speaker close by.

"Attention ladies and gentlemen. The zoo will be closing soon. Please start making your way towards the exit and thank you for visiting us today. Have a nice evening."

Harry grabbed Luna's hand and they started walking towards the exit. He felt so relieved. All of that stress and anxiety was gone. He could now relax and enjoy his engagement to Luna. The hardest part was over, or so he thought...
