Title: Fancy Meeting You Here
Author:

Challenge: Luna gets her first boyfriend. What does Harry think?
Summary: Luna always knew how to make him turn that frown of his upside down. One of the things he liked so much about her.
Warnings (if applicable): Very mild swearing
Rating: PG
Author’s Notes: I apologize, again, for being so late. I tried my best. This is basically my Christmas present forsuperciliary . Merry Christmas, even if it is a bit late. (I seem so late on things aren't I?), And to heron_advocate, the most die-hard H/L shipper I know. I hope you guys like this. Also, so much thanks to Donna (thund3r) for being my Beta. =)
A warning as well, this is basically my first time writing H/L , it might not be that good, so constructive criticism is appreciated.
Harry was walking through the deserted corridors, on his way to his first private lesson with Dumbledore.
He was curious on what he would learn. Advanced spells, hexes, maybe even curses…
His train of thought wasn’t stopping as he turned the corner, not paying attention to what was ahead of him.
Then from out of nowhere, a voice suddenly said, “Hi, Harry,”
Harry stopped abruptly and realized he was standing very few inches from the owner of a pair of protuberant blue eyes. She was smiling dreamily at him.
“You have really nice eyes, Harry.”
“Err, thank you Luna,” It was quite embarrassing, just ending up so close to her, but he just cleared his throat and backed away. "Fancy meeting you here,"
“Back to you, Harry. So where are you off to?” Luna asked, observing Harry closely.
“Well, I’m on my way to Dumbledore’s office—“
“Did you get in trouble?”
“No, it’s for a, um, private lesson.”
Luna then looked around, concentrating on something that Harry couldn’t see.
“Oh no, there’s probably a Wrackspurt around here. Be careful Harry…”
Harry was used to Luna like this, so to snap her out of her trance, he asked, “Where have you been?”
Luna finally stopped, as if the creature she saw flew away. “Oh, I was on a date… with Neville.” she replied vaguely.
There was suddenly a heavy burden in Harry’s chest, which made it difficult for him to say, “A date?”
Luna smiled in a way that showed she couldn’t believe Harry didn’t know. “I guess nobody told you I have a boyfriend. Well, I don’t think anyone would bother, really. No-one cares, you know…”
Harry blurted out, “Bloody hell, I care.”
He did not just say that.
“I’m sorry, Luna, I—I didn’t mean to...”
Luna gazed into Harry’s eyes, which were filled with embarrassment.
“It’s okay, Harry.”
“But I do care.”
“I know you do… it’s just about time someone thinks anything is possible.”
There was suddenly a strange silence, and Harry couldn’t think of anything to say.
“Neville’s really quite a gentleman, you know, it’s really nice to have someone actually like you for a change.”
Harry cleared his throat and attempted to get rid of the heaviness in his chest, “Well, um, I hope that you’ll be happy with Neville.”
Luna smiled vaguely, tilting her head a bit, “Thank you, Harry. That means a lot coming from you.”
Harry tried to smile, but couldn’t. “You’re welcome,” he muttered.
“How come you don’t have a girlfriend, Harry? You are really quite fanciable.”
Harry shrugged.
“I don’t know, maybe because I’m The Chosen One or something,”
“I don’t see why that would make a difference,” Luna replied.
Another silence.
“I actually know a girl who fancied you, but she thought she was too unnoticeable, since you have all these girls around you. She felt like there’s no use, so now, well she has a boyfriend now too.”
“Ginny…?” Harry guessed.
“No, it’s not Ginny. It’s a certain lunatic in Ravenclaw.” Luna smiled mildly at Harry, who was more confused than ever.
“I’ll see you later,” Luna said, still smiling at him, and headed off for the Ravenclaw common room.
“Bye,” Harry called after her.
He turned to go his separate way, still confused, but the burden in his chest a bit lighter than before, as he began realizing what Luna told him.
“Oh, and Harry?”
“Yeah?” Harry turned around, a bit surprised to see Luna stopping him again.
“Beware of those Wrackspurts down the hallway. There are a whole swarm of them by that Gargoyle statue.”
Harry smiled. Luna always knew how to make him turn that frown of his upside down. One of the things he liked so much about her.
“I will Luna. I will.”
