Luna,

I love you, I love you more than I've ever loved anyone. Didn't that trip to Ireland mean anything to you? Haven't I done everything right? Why are you doing this to me? is it because I'm gone so often? I can quit Quidditch for you. You said there is someone else. Who? Who could possibly love you more than I do? And why couldn't you wait until I visited to tell me? Why would you leave me in a letter? I always thought you were better than that. I want to talk about this Luna. I can't just let you go. Not after all this time we've been together. We were together before the war. I came back to fight because you asked me to. Is it Ginny? You seemed to be fond of her. I'll be back there soon. Can't we wait and just talk about this some more? Please that's all I'm asking for is a chance to talk.

Yours forever

Katie

Luna sighed as she read the letter again. She could've guessed Katie wouldn't make it easy. She knew it was going to be difficult to consider things over until Katie conceded.

She quickly wrote her reply. She agreed to meet with Katie to talk. Unlike in previous letters she didn't sign it affectionately nor did she ramble and put sweet nothings into it. Her note was short and to the point. She knew that it wouldn't take long for Katie to receive her letter which, she theorized, meant it wouldn't be long before she would come looking for her.

She hardly paid attention in Care for Magical Creatures, arguably her favorite class. She managed to blow up her cauldron in Potions. And in Charms she didn't accomplish anything.

She hated feeling so distracted by something other than her own mind. She was worried about how talking with Katie would go. She knew the older woman was quite taken with her they had been together for quite awhile after all.

When Luna was released from her final class of the day she decided she wasn't hungry and headed straight for her common room. She sat by the window and read for a short while but got lost in her thoughts again quite quickly. Maybe Katie won't try to convince me to stay. Heck I'm not sure I really want to leave her for a girl I'm not even sure is interested. And Katie, I've been with Katie since my fifth year. 3 years feels like such a long time. Luna sighed as she made her way to her room. When she got there she rummaged through her trunk to pull out her photo album. It was filled with many good memories. I still can't believe she took me to Ireland with her. We had a wonderful time. I care for her. What am I going to do? Luna sighed

"I haven't the faintest idea of what to do about all this." She said to no one. As she thought about everything a realization hit her. Oh. I kissed Hermione before I even knew where things stood between Katie and I, she's going to be even more upset about that then she's already going to be. I should go see Hermione, It really can't do any harm to talk to her can it?

Luna sighed and rolled out of bed. Her movements are automatic as she wanders through the halls in a daze searching for Hermione. She didn't have to search long though because Hermione was leaving the library on her way to the Great Hall.

"Luna!"Hermione exclaimed more excited then she'd meant to be. "Care to walk with me?"

Luna smiled. She could feel herself relax some. "That would be quite nice I think. You were just the person I was looking for."

"I am?" Hermione asked shyly a light blush gracing her face. "You don't need help with a paper or something do you?" she crossed her fingers on the hand that was furthest away from the other girl.

"Not at all. I just wanted to see my dear friend." Luna grinned. "I've feeling rather distracted today."

Hermione gave a smirk more than usual, she thought looking at Luna.

"I'm usually quite focused when it comes to my studies." Luna said once again causing Hermione to wonder about whether the girl next to her might have some mind reading abilities.

"You are?" Hermione joked. "So what happens to be the problem today?"

"Just a lot on my mind." Luna smiled at her friend. "You seem to be in awfully good spirits."

"Well why shouldn't I be? I have wonderful people like you in my life."

Luna blushed at the compliment.

"Hey Luna, will you take a walk with me later?" Hermione said suddenly.

"We're walking now." Luna pointed out.

Hermione laughed nervously. "You're right. I meant a more private walk, maybe after supper."

Luna smiled. "Sounds lovely."
