Harry took one longing look back at the cottage. Through the windows he could see the yellow flicker of candles, the glow from the hearth. Their house was filled to the rafters with family and friends, laughter and eggnog. Mrs Granger had even bought figgy pudding.

Luna had graciously invited everyone to join them on their trek. Ron had snorted. Mrs Weasley had fussed with their scarves while Hermione muttered something about nonsense. No one had strapped on the extra set of snowshoes and braved the frigid air.

Hopeful, Harry stopped at the first tree they encountered, barely a mile from the house. “This one looks good.”

Luna turned, and with an indulgent smile, shook her head. “It’s full of Nargles, Harry.” She patted his shoulder and kept walking.

They continued well past what Harry considered covered under the ‘for better or for worse’ clause and then a half-mile on top of that. He tugged his scarf tighter. “Couldn’t we just chop one down and decorate it in our living room?”

Luna only giggled.

When she finally stopped, Harry nearly bowled her over he’d been so lost in the quiet noise of snow falling on trees and the steady rhythm of one foot in front of the other.

“This one.” She pointed at a massive spruce at the centre of a clearing. It must have stood forty feet. With a wave of her wand she added the first scarlet garland, winding it from the top-most branch to the forest floor. She danced about the tree, adding bobbles and bells, and treats for deer, squirrels and rabbits. She hummed to herself, arms in the air and lit the night around them with the shimmer of her magic.

Harry watched, his feet and fingers numb, and fell in love all over again.

I ship them. (I actually do, they have awesome chemistry in canon.) This fic is awesome. It actually is.

Aw, wonderful. I love this pairing, and I love Luna...how she seems so odd yet compelling - in the books, in the movies, and definitely in this ficlet.

Thank you for the PM! *g*

And yay! I'm so thrilled you like. Luna is so much fun to write.

She is. I'm still stunned JKR didn't see what could have been between the two...

Ah, so sweet! They are lovely together. What a pleasant way to spend some time together, even though Harry doesn't recognise it at first.

hee! I'd be with Harry... why, exactly must we be OUTSIDE when we could be sitting by the fire??? LOL.

I'm so glad you liked.

Thanks so much! :DDD

This was adorable. This is one pairing that should've been canon. They just work and fit so well together. Very nicely done.

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
I agree. I think Luna is just what Harry needed post-DH. There's a special kind of healing with her brand of crazy.

I'm so glad you liked this. :)

I love the Snow White/Cinderella-esque quality with the sparklies and critter treats. Wonderfully done! It was perfectly miraculous.

Peace,
Bubba

Merry Christmas, Bubba

You know, that was absolutely lovely. And now you make me want to read more Harry/Luna fic. I know it's not your primary ship in HP but any good folks you could point me to?

And have a happy and healthy end of the year festivities.

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2010-12-20 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry this is late - I hope you still want to read Harry/Luna. :)

I wrote one short ficlet with these two:

How lovely. This is such a Luna thing to do. I've always thought that they'd be a great couple. :)
