He’s Harry, her nice friend who holds her shoes for her when she wants to walk barefoot in the woods so she doesn’t startle the moss-people. [x]
Lunarry!!!
this is for the @hprarepairnet hogwarts challenge!
- harry was nervous to ask luna to slughorn’s christmas party.
- he knew she didn’t see him as anything more than a friend, and he thought it was obvious that he wanted to be more than friends.
- hermione tried to reassure him that it wasn’t, but he was still nervous out of his mind that it would be too obvious and would ruin everything.
- luna was outside on the school grounds sitting under a tree near hagrid’s hut.
- she appeared to be reading and had her wand behind her ear, while the rest of her golden waves blew wildly in the wind.
- harry gulped as he tried to muster up the courage.
- he rubbed his palms together as he approached her and sat down next to her. she didn’t look up from her book, but he knew that she was aware of his presence.
- “hello harry, what brings you by? you usually never come outside as often in this kind of weather. it’s something i’ve noticed.”
- harry felt the back of his neck heat up at the fact that she noticed something that small about him, but he knew luna always noticed small things like that. he wasn’t anything special.
- “i-uh, yeah. i don’t really like the cold that much. but i came out here to ask you something.”
- luna took this as a cue to shut her book and turn her head toward him.
- she gave him a warm smile, and harry felt goosebumps travel up his arms.
- she was silent while she waited for him to speak. harry swallowed a few more times, but his throat was still unbelievably dry.
- “i-uh, i was wondering if you wanted to go to slughorn’s christmas party with me? as, uh, friends. yeah, as friends.”
- she still had a small smile on her face as she took her wand from behind her ear and played with it in her hands.
- harry felt like she was taking too long to answer, but he knew it was only a few seconds.
- “i would love to go with you, harry,” she answered honestly, “but it doesn’t have to be just as friends, if you don’t want it to be.”
- harry was stunned by her words, and he felt his whole face heat up this time.
- he blinked a few times to collect himself, but before he could, she was already up from the ground and was putting her bag on her shoulder.
- “i’ll see you tomorrow, harry.”
- she started to walk up towards the castle, but he finally shot up from the ground quickly and stopped her by gently grabbing her forearm.
- she turned around to face him with a calm expression on her face.
- “do you, uh, really mean that? you want to go as more than friends?”
- she smiled again, and harry got distracted by her dimple that was present on her right cheek. he found it adorable.
- “of course i do, harry. you have always been special in my eyes.”
- he rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand and realized he still had his other hand gripping her forearm.
- he went to let it go, but she intertwined their fingers before his hand could completely drop.
- he admired their linked hands and then replied, “you have always been special in my eyes, too.”

// SET AFTER THE WAR. PLATONIC HARRY X LUNA. LUNA X GINNY X HARRY CENTRIC. //
Fingers are trembling, lungs are heaving and tears are rolling down his cheeks that are so cold they feel like sheets of ice. He doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do. He can’t lose Ginny, he can’t, because she’s his muse, his everything. And she’s in St. Mungo’s alone because he’s too much of a coward to see her. He doesn’t want to see her in pain. He can’t. Ron and Hermione are frantically trying to track down the rest of the family, to tell them she’s been in a quidditch accident, and where’s Harry Potter, the boy who lived? He’s still in the flat he shares with her, trembling like an idiot because the idea of losing her is making his body ache and seize.
This part, where Harry asks Luna to Prof. Slughorns party is one of my favourite. Because being invited somewhere as a friend is great and important - not a disappointment, as it is often made out to be.
After a while, exhausted and drained, Harry found himself sitting on a bench beside Luna. “I’d want some peace and quiet, if it were me,” she said. “I’d love some,” he replied. “I’ll distract them all,” she said. “Use your Cloak.” And before he could say a word she cried, “Oooh, look, a Blibbering Humdinger!” and pointed out of the window. Everyone who heard looked around, and Harry slid the Cloak up over himself, and got to his feet.

Be my Valentine - Luna x Harry - Weekend Getaway
You want my opinion? We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.
