Luna sighed.
"I was afraid of that. But, if not ever after, perhaps just happily. As long as you have friends, Harry, you'll be happy. Know that they'll want to kill you some days, maybe because you did better than they did in something, or because you're more famous than they are, but... Also know that they would kill for you any day."
She gently took his hand from the ground and held it in hers.
"Friends make one stronger. You're safe and happy as long as you have them."

*Looks at their hands then up into her eyes*
You're the only real friend I have left. All the others are annoyed at me,

Luna gave him a confused look.
"Why would they be annoyed with you? I can't see that you've done anything wrong. And," she paused for a moment, smiling slightly, "you're the only real friend I've ever had... Ever."

*Puts his arm around her and gives her a squeeze*
Well we have that in common then. Yea, Ron's a good mate but he isn't loyal like you.

Luna smiled. She looked oddly at Harry's arm around her. She wasn't used to that sort of thing, but his arm, somehow, made her feel warm- like she was drinking a nice, big cup of hot cocoa.
"I don't have a lot of friends. I didn't have any until my fourth year, when I joined Dumbledore's Army. It was nice to feel that I had a lot of friends, you know. I really enjoyed the meetings. You were a great teacher."

*Smiles remembering*
*Looks down at Luna*
I'm sure you had friends before.

Luna shook her head.
"No. None. Everybody thought I was a bit odd. They took my things and made fun of me, so I never really paid them any attention. You were my first friend... And most likely my last, too."

*HArry suddenly felt that familliar twinge of sadness for Luna. He really cared for her and hated people treating her badly*
Well you'll always have me.
*He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear*

Luna smiled and gave a small laugh.
"Will I, though? Daddy said mum would always be around, but she's not. And then, after she died, daddy said that he would always be there, but now he spends most of his time in the press room, coming up with new stories for The Quibbler. Sometimes I don't even see him for dinner... I pretend that you and Hermione and Ron and Ginny, and all of Dumbledore's Army are sitting with me on those nights... Then I don't feel so alone."

Harry frowned and looked down at her, feeling so sorry for her, almost guilty. "You are always welcome at my house Luna." He took her hand in his and gently stroked it. "I'm not going to desert you, I promise."

Luna smiled gratefully at him, her silvery orbs of eyes staring into his green ones.
"Thanks. That's nice to know, what with everything that's going on. Is this what's supposed to happen? Is this His goal? To make us all feel alone, so that we're easier to pick at and get to?"

*Smiles softly*
We're not alone though. We've got each other...

Luna nodded.
"I suppose so... As long as the nargles don't get us."

*Not really thinking what he's doing, leans down slowly and kisses her, just wanting to be near someone*

Luna felt suddenly out of place. The only person she'd ever been kissed by was her father, and probably her mother when she was little- she couldn't remember. She returned his kiss for a moment, then pulled away and blinked at Harry.
"What was that for?"
