God Given Gift
She's beautiful. I don't know why I never noticed before. Maybe I wasn't ready. Maybe it's the idea that I'm alive. We've been at Shell cottage for a week, and it still hasn't sunk in that I'm alive. I thought we were going to die in that dungeon. Harry and Ron and Hermione... they saved our lives.
While we were there, she was my rock. She helped me see the silver lining, however small it was, every day and she never let me give up hope. She would spend hours telling me stories about creatures I've never heard of. Apparently, Nargles are very common around Mistletoe. I know many people find her...unusual, but to me, she's a god given gift to all of us.
She's different, so different, and yet, she's perfect in her own unique way. As we sit on the edge of the cliff, surrounded by the sereneness of the place, I don't think I've ever been so happy. I know there is still a war out there, and I know the time to fight is coming, but sitting here with Luna brings me a happiness I've never felt before.
She makes me feel calm, peaceful, safe. When we make it through the war, I'm going to ask her out on a date, and I think she'll say yes. I hope she will. I'm going to spend everyday she'll have me, by her side, trying to repay the peace of mind she's given me.

"Yes, Luna?"
"When you ask me on that date, I'll say yes."
"Oh. Good."

Luna is a precious gift to all who know her, and I'm lucky to have her in my life. I'll never let her go.
