Again, this writer's block sucks and these are getting up later and later. However, there will be a twist in the future and more M chapters so keep reading and reviewing :)

Luna was woken up by the sun hitting her face through her window. She had her newly official boyfriend's arm wrapped around her and she felt like there was no place safer in the world. She smiled at herself and nuzzled further into him, causing him to stir. She turned around so she was facing him.

"Good morning handsome."

George took a blonde curl that was covering her face and tucked it behind her ear, "And good morning to you, beautiful."

George moved his head forward and gave her a longing kiss on her lips. Luna's whole body heated up and she could feel herself blushing. No matter how many times she had kissed him over the past months, she still got butterflies like it was the first time.

They got out of bed and straitened their clothes and Luna pulled her hair back with her red ribbon. She turned to face her boyfriend, "Do you want breakfast?"

He walked over and wrapped his long arms around her dainty shoulders, "Normally I would but I have to get to the shop and get stuff done. I've been slacking on the paperwork lately."

Luna made an audible sigh and dropped her head into his chest, "Okay."

George took his hand and lifted her chin so he could bring her lips to his. He gave her a gentle peck, "I'm sorry love. Next time, I promise."

He gave her another quick kiss and then pulled away from her. Suddenly feeling alone, before he had even left, Luna gave a weak smile and wave before her boyfriend apparated away.

She went downstairs and started steaming some water on the stove for her tea. Feeling the sudden lose of the presence her boyfriend emitted, she went outside to go see Binx. Walking barefoot through the damp fallen leaves, Luna used her wand to unlock the door to the owlry. Binx perked up when he heard the door creak open.

Luna took a mouse of the bin in the corner and threw it up for her pet. Watching her owl swallow his breakfast, Luna couldn't help but appreciate him for everything he's done for her. He's been there for her, everyday, no matter what. He's been not only her pet, but her friend as well.

She held her forearm out and the owl responded by fluttering onto her sleeve. She walked back to her house, caressing Binx's feathers. Once inside, she set him on a chair in her study while she went and made her tea. Luna walked back into the study, steaming cup of tea in hand, and sat down at her desk, preparing for the day of writing she had ahead of her.

She looked at the chart pinned to the wall; this edition of the Quibbler would feature an article all about Hermione, S.P.E.W, and her project to free all house elves. The brilliant witch had been trying to get this law passed for years and years now but at this moment, she was closer than she had ever been. Luna looked at the clock on the wall; Hermione would be here in an hour or so for the interview. Luna gathered a pile of parchment and her favorite quill. She sipped at her tea and looked at her questions that she would be asking. What kind of rights do you want for the elves? What inspired you to do this for them? How would it affect the wizarding world as a whole? Her dazzling blue eyes scanned the letters and words, satisfied with her questions. She took another sip on her tea before reaching into the bottom drawer to grab her bottle of ink.

Luna heard a whooshing and then a knock, Hermione was here.

Luna skipped to the door and turned the knob, greeting her friend with a warm embrace.

"So good to see you Hermione! Would you like tea? I just made a fresh batch about half an hour ago."

"That actually sounds wonderful Luna."

Luna went to the stove and pulled out a clean mug. Hermione followed close behind her.

"Thank you so much for doing this for me Luna. The Quibbler has so many readers and this will be a huge help for my campaign."

Luna turned around and handed the cup of tea to Hermione.

"Oh no problem! I fully support your cause so I found it fitting to be in my magazine. Shall we go to the study and start the interview?"

Hermione nodded and Luna led her into the small room. Binx jumped up out of the chair and flew to the windowsill so Hermione could sit down.

Hermione set her mug on the stand next her while Luna dipped her quill in the ink and grabbed her first piece of parchment.

"Alright. Just answer these honestly Hermione and you'll have those elves free in no time. First question, what kind of rights do you want for the elves?"

Hermione was quiet for a short amount of time, thinking about her answer all the way through. She then opened her mouth and Luna started writing furiously.

"I want them to be considered equals in the wizarding world. I want them to be able to walk the streets of Hogsmaid or go to a Quidditch match and be respected like everyone else there. I want them to be free of their owners, I want them to live life unreservedly, not having to worry about being at someone's beck and call twenty-four seven. If my law were to be passed, they would have the right to own their own bank account at Gringotts and they would be able to buy land. They will be able to vote and they will be able to go to school and learn how to advance their magic, education is very important to me…"

'Of course it is,' Luna thought.

"…and they will be able to get jobs to make an income. Basically they will have the same rights as any other wizard or witch in this world."

Luna scribbled more words as Hermione took a sip of her tea. This process went on for another hour and a half as Luna asked question after question.

The two witches wrapped up their interview, pleased with the day's work. They were talking about life and everything else while finishing their tea. Hermione said that Ron was, "very happy being an Auror and he felt like such a 'badass' being one." Luna snorted at her ginger haired friend, that was Ron for you.

"So Luna, you and George, are you official now?"

Luna smiled into her tea, "As of last night."

Hermione squealed and set her cup down, she was excited now and was flailing her arms around.

"Really? How did he do it? Oh Luna, tell me!"

Luna set her mug down and brought her knees up to her chest, feeling the butterflies starting to develop in her abdomen, "In the joke shop. It was really sincere and cute."

"Ah! This is so amazing. You two have done so much for each other. You know, George is happy now. You don't see him grieving over Fred as badly as he use to. He really likes you Luna."

"And I really like him. He makes me happy, makes me feel like I'm not alone anymore."

"And it's about time that he asked you to officially be his girlfriend. You two were dating for months before he popped the question."

"We're taking things slow. It's the first real relationship for either one of us."

Hermione was quiet for once, she was obviously thinking about asking Luna a question, and thinking about if she should follow through with it or not. Luna went to take another sip of her tea.

"Err, Luna, are you and George…having sex?"

Luna started choking on her tea and tried coughing to relieve herself. She was barely able to get a word out, "What?"

Hermione now stirred in her seat, "Yeah. I was just curious was all. I know you guys just became official but you had been dating for months before hand. I don't know, Ron and I had sex after 6 months."

Again Luna started choking on her tea. Why was Hermione haggling her about these things? Did George want Hermione to stress about it to Luna, knowing that they were meeting today? Luna regulated her breathing and steadied her hands.

"Well we have not had sex yet. Last night though, after he had asked me, we uhm…felt each other."

"So he fingered you."

Luna sucked in hard, why was Hermione being so pushy!

"Yeah."

"Well did you repay him than?"

Luna looked over at her friend, her forehead crinkled with confusion, "Err, Hermione, why are you asking me all this? My intimate life with George is strictly between him and me. Listen, I know you're my friend and you're curious, but to be honest, this is quite awkward."

"Oh Luna I am getting nosy aren't I? I'm sorry; I just wanted to know because you have always seemed so…innocent. But you're right, I should back off. Actually I should get going back to the Burrow. Ron and I have plans for lunch."

Hermione and Luna stood and shared a heartfelt hug.

"Thank you for doing this Luna. It means the world to me."

"Hermione, the honor is all mine."

Hermione smiled at the blonde witch, "Always so modest. Well, I'll see you soon."

Luna stepped back so Hermione had room to apparate, "Yes, soon!"

Hermione waved to Luna before twisting into the air, and just like that, she was gone.

Luna went back to her spot at her desk and skimmed the interview she had just conducted. As she was reading however, she couldn't help but think about what Hermione said, 'I know you guys just became official but you had been dating for months before hand. I don't know, Ron and I had sex after 6 months.'

Luna crinkled her nose; it was weird knowing that her two friends were having sex. Granted, she knew Harry and Ginny were having sex too but they were married. Luna counted back the months on her fingers, from their first kiss to the day he asked her to be his girlfriend, she and George had been technically dating for four months now. That was still too early to have sex, right? Luna felt this omnipresent pressure being put on her. Did she have to have sex for the relationship to stay together? Would George leave her if she refused? Thoughts about intercourse consumed the witch's mind as she tried to sort them out. She had heard sex was bloody painful the first time. Did she really want to go through with that pain? She also didn't know any contraceptive charms. That was a major issue.

Luna took a long swig on her tea, hoping it would calm her down and stop her from getting too worked up. Sure, she had thought about having sex with George, fantasized about it truthfully, but was she ready for the real thing? She let out a sigh in frustration, she didn't know, she didn't know, she didn't know!

The witch sat there for a second, the silence was deafening. Hermione and Ron waited 6 months, that's half a year of dating. She decided that she would at least wait 6 months as well. That was fair, right? Right.

So even though nothing super exciting happens in this chapter, it was important to show some genuine Luna Lovegood inner monologue and what she is going through. Oh…and I can promise you…within the next 5 chapters, there will be a HUGE twist that changes the story almost completely! MWAHAH! Review :)
