Harry Potter One Shots

Xenophilius LovegoodXRuby

(This Chapter was requested by @Ruby0Heness. I didn't know what you wanted, but I hope you enjoy it! It is set when Xenophilius was in his seventh year!)

(Ruby's P.O.V)

Many people have said that Xenophilius didn't belong in Ravenclaw; he belonged in Hufflepuff because the stuff he spoke about didn't always make sense to others. Xenophilius is the most Ravenclaw out of all of us!

Everyone assumes that all the Ravenclaws are smart, but then you look at our house. Yes, there are a few smart Ravenclaws like Fillius, Quirelle and Garrick. I would also classify myself under this category. There are also Ravenclaws like Sybil and Gilderoy, who most have no idea how they got sorted into Ravenclaw.

Not all Ravenclaws are smart; they just value brains above all else. We also tend to be very creative. Most Ravenclaws go on to teach or become artists, poets, or even writers.

Have you ever wondered who made all the statues and original portraits of Hogwarts? That was Rowena Ravenclaw herself! (So how dare Umbitch take down the portraits! Snape thinks Harry and Ron crash into the Whomping Willow, a try on the grounds since before they were born, was bad. She is taking down all of one of the founders' hard work!)

But I'm getting off-topic! Hi, my name is Ruby! I'm a seventh-year Ravenclaw, and my best friend is Xenophilius Lovegood.

Xen and I spend a lot of time together, mainly in the Library or Common Room; we like to spend our time reading or writing. Xen wants to create his paper one day. He isn't a big fan of the Daily Prophet; it never reports on anything other than the latest deaths. Xen doesn't believe that everything posted is true, so he wants to post the truth, which is very brave of him; people don't always want to know the truth, but those who do will rally behind him. It would be that light they needed.

I'm waiting for Xen in the common room right now. We had Care of Magical Creatures down in the Forest, so he had stayed back to visit some other creatures while I returned to get a start on homework.

"Your friend, is he not back yet?" a voice asked from next to me. I looked up to find Gilderoy Lockhart sitting next to me.

"He'll be back soon!" I told the fifth year as I hurried away, feeling uncomfortable.

Not getting the hint, Gilderoy scooted closer to me and rested his hand on my thigh. Just that, the portrait opened, and Xen walked in.

"Xen, your back!" I say, jumping up and running over to him. "Play along!" I muttered in his ear as I hugged him.

"Hey, Babe!" he replied, clearly getting the point. Gildory looked at us, clearly not believing our act. Xen looked between Gildory and me before lifting my head and pressing his lips against mine in a soft kiss. I was left shocked when he pulled away. "Was he bothering you, Babe?" he asked before Gildory got up and ran out of the common room.I stood in shock for a few minutes, my arms still around his waist.

"T-thank you!" I stammered, a blush forming on my cheeks.

I didn't even realise I was holding onto him for a couple more moments, but when I did, I let go, muttering a quick apology and running back upstairs.

-----

It has been a few years since I left Hogwarts, and I work for Xen, who, as he had always planned, is the author of the Quibbler. He told me he loved me only days after our first kiss, and we have been dating ever since. We are now 22 years old and married. We married mid-last year when we found out I was pregnant with our little Luna!

Luna had been born on February 13th and was now two months old. Thanks to Xen and me working from home, we can spend much time together as a family. I hope Luna grows up to be like her Father because he is the kindest and best person to be around. Even if most people didn't take the time to get to know him, he didn't care. He was so carefree! I, on the other hand, am a stressor!

"Ruby?" Xen called from downstairs.

"Yes, Love?" I ask as I place Luna in her crib.

"Can you come read this article, please!" He called back.

"Of course, just let me put Luna to sleep!" I reply. "Do you want to hear another story about your Father tonight? Maybe the one about our wedding!"

Every night, when I put Luna to bed, I tell her stories about her Father. I love to reminisce about our old memories, and how better to do so than with our daughter, who is already the spitting image of her Father!

(Sorry it took so long to write and that it isn't very good. I was struggling to develop ideas for it because we don't know much about Xenophilius other than that he was a Wizard who went to Hogwarts. He was in Ravenclaw; he married his wife Pandora, who died when their Daughter Luna was nine and is the author of The Quibbler. I tried to dig for more information, but we don't even have information about the years he was at Hogwarts, so I had to guess the idea was that he was the same age as Lily and James. Hence, they are 22 when they have Luna because Luna is a year younger than Harry. Why did Luna never attend the Burrow except for Bill and Fleur's wedding? She was friends with Ginny!)
