Lunar Madness

Harry and Luna's date to Slughorn's party turned out much more than he expected. As the night passed, he realized that maybe he should be more interested in her than as a friend. As he walks her back to her dorms that night, he realizes that she has wrapped her arms around his and they were walking as a couple not as the friends they started the night off as.

Once in front of the Ravenclaw dorm, he turns to her and takes both her hands. "I had a really good time tonight Luna...would you consider going out with me again?"

She looked up at him dreamily. "I shall consider it Harry Potter. I too had a wonderful evening."

He leaned forward and kissed her cheek. "Thanks for going with me Luna."

Luna beamed at him. "If you play your cards right, I'd probably go anywhere with you."

They had several more dates to Hogsmeade and just walking around the castle doing things that caught their interest. Harry may have had a crush on Cho Chang the previous year but he was completely entranced by the young blonde. It came to the point where they were almost always together to the disappointment of many young witches in the castle. In a lot of cases, they thought Luna hogged more of Harry's time that Hermione Granger ever did. In

Later in the term, Harry was sitting in the Gryffindor common room after a session with Umbridge and was feeling pretty low. As it was after curfew, the portrait hole opening caught everyone's attention and Luna strolled in as if it was normal to walk into another house's dorm after curfew. She looked dreamily around the room until her eyes settled on Harry and then made her way over to him.

He gave her a weak smile and she immediately sat down beside him. She grabbed his hurting hand and put it in her lap and covered his hands with hers. "What are you doing here Luna? You could get into a lot of trouble."

"It's alright Harry, the foxy walldingers helped me get here without any trouble. Besides you know I've been moving around this castle at night almost as much as you have."

Her hand went under his and pulled it up to her lips where she gently kissed it while everyone in the common room was looking at her like she was crazy. Hermione started to say something, being a prefect and all, but then kept her mouth shut as she could see it was helping Harry. She wished Harry would talk to her but she thought she may have broken the trust he held her in by her less than sympathetic answers to his complaints about his session with Snape. It hurt her to think that but was was glad he had someone.

As soon as she placed his hand back in her lap, she recovered it with hers and closed her eyes. After a minute, their hands began to glow until it slowly faded away. When she uncovered his hand, the scars and pain from the blood quill were gone.

She then stood. "I'll be back in a minute Harry Potter." to everyone's shock, she walked up the stairs leading to the boys dorm. She came back down ten minutes later wearing one of Harry's t-shirts and judging by the way she moved when she walked, nothing else. When she got back to Harry, she climbed in his lap and snuggled into him. Most of the girls were shocked at her blatant exhibition while the boys just wished they were nicer to her as then maybe she would have come to them like that.

"Not that I'm complaining Luna but what's all this?"

She let out a pronounced sigh. "Oh...am I doing it wrong? I was trying to seduce you."

Harry chuckled and shifted to give something a little more room. She wiggled in his lap to the amazement of everyone and said. "No...I think I'm doing it right and your wrackspurts are almost all gone...of course they were chased off by the horny bogies."

Harry hugged her close and whispered. "You're slipping...I even got that one."

She snuggled closer if that was possible. "Oh pooh...now I've got to come up with another weird sounding creature. Maybe I could say they were chased off by a raging basilisk?"

Harry laughed. It seemed no matter what was going on, Luna always found a way to make him feel better.

As it got later and people started making their way up to the dorms to sleep, Luna stood and pulled Harry up. "Come along Harrison...We've a date with your bed."

"Not that I don't find the idea intriguing but don't you have your own bed?"

"I do but I'm currently locked out at the moment and decided your bed would be more comfortable. Just be aware my hands tend to wander in the night,"

"Hmmm...I think I have the same problem."

She smiled brightly. "Oh I hope so. The girls need a good fondling."

Most would say that the normally intense Harry Potter was a lot more relaxed after he and Luna began seeing each other. All Harry would know is that he was on a lifetime adventure with the always loving and unpredictable Luna Lovegood-Potter.
