Once Harry stepped in Minerva Mcgonagall's office to travel by floo powder to his Auror training with Ron, my heart stopped.

I sighed and made my way back to the common Room half heartedly.

"Come one Ginny!" Hermione said, trying to cheer me up. "Its just a few days. You did it once, you can do it again." Of course she was trying to convince me, but also herself.

"Yeah.. it'll be okay." I sighed, not believing a single word I just pronounced.

***

Finally the lessons were over. Hermione and I were walking in the castle, and I was trying hard not to snap at my friend, whose constant stare at me -as if I was about to explode- was beginning slightly irritating.

"Do you want to do something? To think about something else?" She proposed suddenly.

I could see she really wanted me to be okay, so I nodded. "Yeah, what do you want to do?"

"Anything. Talk, work, or maybe we could go to the library.." she said, but quickly added when she saw the -unvoluntary- bored look on my face "or go and see Luna, if we can find her. I haven't seen her in so long!."

Those thoughts brought a small smile to my lips, and I led Hermione towards the Ravenclaw common room.

"You know maybe she isn't here." Hermione said. "I think she could be outside or in a strange part of the castle."

"Asking won't hurt." I laughed, and headed towards a group of Ravenclaws that were exiting their common room. "Hey! Has any of you seen Luna Lovegood?"

They all looked at me, all waiting for the others to answer. A brunette finally spoke "I think she didn't come back here since this morning."

"Okay, thank you." I smiled, then turned to Hermione. "Let's go find Luna."

"I think she might be inside." She said

"I think she is outside." I corrected.

"Yeah..you know her better than me I guess." She gave up.

"Let me guide you to the most bizarre person we've ever met. I know the way!!" I laughed, my arm pointing towards the entrance of the castle.

As soon as we stepped outside, I shivered. Snow was still falling, and the icy cold was already making my hands turn red.

"She better be outside so that we didn't came here for nothing." I heard Hermione scoff.

"Don't worry. If she isn't I'll kick her ass."

"We have to find her first." The bushy haired lady beside me reminded me.

We searched the grounds, everywhere or so I thought, and we didn't find her.

"I hate you Ginny." Hermione said as we were walking back to the castle. "If you had listened to me, we would have stayed ins-"

But she didn't get to finish her sentence as I put my hand over her mouth and leaded her behind the wall of the entrance quickly. She furrowed her brows and I let go of her and told her to be quiet.

"What?" She murmured.

"I found Luna." I said, still stunned by what I had just saw.

"What?" She repeated. "Why are we here then?"

"She.. she's not alone." I said, and realised what exactly happened. I nearly screamed like a fangirl, but calmed myself down, so I could keep a bit of dignity.

"Come with me." I added and leaded her outside again, and climbed the icy wall, turned to the left and let Hermione see by herself.

There was Luna. Holding a guy's hand. She was blushing. Luna Lovegood was blushing. She didn't even see us. And neither did he. Hermione gasped loudly, bringing the two lovebirds back to reality. The guy nearly jumped away from Luna, but she didn't let go of him, not embarrassed the least by our presence.

"Hello Hermione. Hello Ginny." She smiled.

"Hi.. Luna.. hi Neville.." I said, still shocked.

"Hi.." Hermione finally managed to say.

"Er..." Neville blushed even more.

An uncomfortable silence found its way between the four of us. Or more like between the three of us. Luna didn't feel the awkwardness of the moment. I wish I didn't feel it either.

"How are you?" She asked.

"How are we?" I smiled. "What I would like to know is how are you two." I asked with a smirk, all awkwardness gone.

"We are fine. Aren't we Neville? "

"Luna. That's not what she meant." Hermione giggled.

Luna didn't respond.

I couldn't stand it anymore.

"ARE YOU THE BLOODY HELL TOGETHER?!" I asked -more like screamed.

"Ginny!" Hermione nudged me.

"What! Me myself and I want to know!! Don't you want to know too?"

"You so sound like Rita Skeeter."

"Don't make me vomit." I laughed.

"We are." Neville finally spoke.

"What?" Hermione asked.

"Luna and I.. are together."

"We are dating as a couple." Luna smiled happily.

Hermione and I exchanged a look, and suddenly we both giggled.

"Nuna is real!!!" I laughed.

"Nuna?" Neville asked.

"Your ship name." Hermione beamed.

"That's strange." Luna smiled.

"How long?" Hermione asked.

"We started like two weeks before Christmas break." Neville explained.

Hermione and I both nodded. "I'm happy for you." She said.

"Well.. I guess we're gonna leave you two alone.. to do.. business." I smiled evily.

Neville sent me a half embarrassed , half happy look.

I winked at him, and turned around.

Maybe without even remembering the past, I could have a normal life, after all.

Okaay so I just wanted to put some Nuna in there 😂
I'll update soon seeing that I'm nearly on holidays so I'll have more time to work on this book
