Bomb
Harry's first instinct was to shield Luna. His concern wasn't for himself, but for her. For Luna.
The Death Eater fired another spell, and it exploded the wall three inches to their left. Harry held on to Luna tightly. It was as if a bomb was going off under their noses. Was this what those soldiers in World War One had experienced? He remembered learning about them back in is Muggle schooling days.
"Go, Luna!" Harry urged in the few brief seconds of reprieve they had before the masked Death Eater readied for the next curse.
"Harry, but –"
Harry stopped her before she could speak anymore. He pressed his lips firmly against her and then looked her in the eye. "I love you," he said sincerely. "I love you more than life itself, Luna, and I want you to live. Here is dangerous." He saw the Death Eater raising his wand from the corner of his eye and he pushed Luna away from him. "Go!"
"Harry!"
"Go!" Harry shouted as a green spark came from the wand. "Luna, be safe!" He didn't know what happened to her after that – did she listen to him? – for his attention was on the Death Eater. He dodged the curse at the last minute and fired a stunning spell back. The castle walks shook and crumbled around them.
Harry's only wish was that Luna was safe. Whatever happened to him, would happen, but Luna needed to be safe. She needed to live.
He fired another spell, but the Death Eater dodged it with ease.
All that mattered was Luna. For her, he would fight forever. Even if that meant every castle wall would fall, he would fight.
For Luna.
