The Eighth Year - Under Major Reconstruction

51 - Pillows

Blaise and Luna had spent nearly all day lying in bed, it was Tuesday and most classes had been cancelled as there had been a cold spreading around Hogwarts and Madam Pomfrey was swamped in the hospital wing. Frantically, Professor McGonagall had cancelled nearly every class in favor of not letting the sickness spread further throughout the castle, which meant every student that wasn't ill were each in their dormitories either doing classwork, spending time with their significant other or avoiding doing anything productive. 

Blaise and Luna had barely moved from their spot on the bed all morning, they had been whispering to each other, reading, sitting it complete silence and napping on repeat all day. It seems that the couple had started their honeymoon phase a bit early, seeing as their wedding was in five days. Blaise had barely talked to Draco or Pansy the past few days, his mind was consumed with thoughts of his future wife and the wedding in the next few days. 

For the last hour they had been discussing their honeymoon, they hadn't decided where and what they would be doing and Luna had been begging him to go to somewhere near the sea but Blaise hated the ocean with a passion and had been trying to steer her in a totally different destination. He would rather to go Greece and stay in for the short time they would be allowed to be away from Hogwarts. 

"There's water in Greece, but there's enough land for me to stay far, far away from the water...Please? I hate the ocean." He begged

Finally giving in, she agrees that Greece would be a fine place to spend their honeymoon. 

"You know, I think we picked the absolute perfect day for our wedding. The moon isn't full and its not new, its actually a waning gibbous so it should provide a perfect amount of light without bringing too many magical creatures our way. Banshees like to come out during new moons while werewolves come out during the full moon, I believe there are a few creatures that enjoy the quarter phases of the moon but we should be fine since we are just shy of both a full moon and the third quarter..." Luna babbles 

"Luna, your hair is so long...it['s a wonder it doesn't get tangled in everything." Blaise says out of the blue, twirling a piece of her long blonde hair around her finger

"Oh it does, but the blibbering humdingers visit every morning and untangle it for me." Luna says quite seriously, causing Blaise to look at her with a questioning gaze before asking what such a strange creature was

"Blaise, darling, I was joking. Those aren't real! I just take good care of it, my mum also created a spell before she died so hair wouldn't get tangled." She giggles

For a second, Blaise is quiet but then he starts laughing so hard he can barely contain it. 

Sitting up, Luna stares incredulously at her fiancé who was uncontrollably laughing, when he starts to calm down she asks what had made him laugh so incredibly hard

"It's just...I've started listening every time you talk about some random creature and I was ready for a lesson on what the bloody hell a blibbering humdinger was...I was interested! Love, I always hated Care of Magical Creatures, what have you done to me!" He laughs

She had changed him that much? That caused her to start laughing 

"That's my favorite class! Don't be rude!" She giggles, hitting him with a pillow 

Al of the sudden there were in the middle of a very loud, very serious pillow fight
