Romance: One Shot

Yes, i believe in Nargels(g×g)

Luna Lovegood wasn't crazy. She didn't live in a fantasy world with mythical creatures. Nargles and crumpled-horned snorkacks are very much real thank you very much. Luna tried to explain to her fellow Ravenclaws that every creature they learnt about in their care of magical creatures at one point were presumed to be non-existent, were simply myths until someone discovered them but no matter how rational her argument was they wouldn't listen to her or see her side. Unless it was written in black and white in a text book they would never believe it. Butthe truth is she didn't need them to believe her. What was important to her was providing a voice for the animals that didn't have them. She knew one day she would be able to prove their existence. To show the wizarding world how useful the creatures she knew to be real were, or in the case of nargles, just what a nuisance they were. Luna would however like to be respected for her beliefs and not bullied because of them.

"Hey Loony Lovegood." Michael Corner said coming up to where Luna sat studyingin the library.
"I hope you don't mind but I borrowed one of your magazines from the common room this morning."
Luna perked up at Michael's exclamation. No one at Hogwarts had ever shown any genuine interest in the Quibbler before. She couldn't wait till she could tell her father about this.

"Really? Was it the article on Fudges plan to take over Gringotts? I told dad that that one would be a seller."

"Of course not. We just ran out of toilet paper and it was the first thing I could find."
Michael and his friends began laughing and hi-fiving each other at what they perceived to be a hilarious joke. A tear began to form in the corner of Luna's eye but she refused to let it fall. She wouldn't let them get to her.

"I that a tear Loony? It's probably because of this fugly necklace."
Michael ripped her nargle protector from her neck and let it shatter and fall onto the floor and her tears fell mercilessly.
"Silence in the library. If you can't be quiet you'll have to leave. I expect much better from a group of Ravenclaws."

Madam Pince called out to the boys.They left the library still laughing as they went.

***

Ginny who'd been listening to the whole debacle from two tables over, stood up and followed Michael out of the library. She couldn't believe that her boyfriend, who until recently she thought to be nice, had been so mean to one of her dear friends.
"Michael, can we please talk?" Ginny asked when she finally caught up to the group of the faster walking boys. Anthony Goldstein and Terry Boot made childish kissing noises towards them as they walked off to an empty section of the corridor. Michael places one hand on the wall behind the shorter girls head and his other hand on the small of his girlfriend's back. As Michael leaned in for the kiss Ginny pushed him back with as much strength as she could muster.

"What the hell Ginny? I'm just trying to giveyou some lovin'."

"I heard what you said to Luna in the library."
Ginny retorted bitterly.

"Funny wasn't it."
Michael held his hand up for a hi-five.

"No it wasn't funny it was mean."

"Since when do you care about Loony Lovegood?"

"Don't call her that, her name is Luna and she's my friend."

"Loony, Loony, Loony. I'll call her whatever I want."

Ginny was getting frustrated. She could feel the anger bubbling in the pit of her stomach and the tears welling in the corners of her eyes. How could she not of noticed before how mean her boyfriend was.

"If you refuse to be nice to my friends thenwe can't be together anymore."
The red headed girl offered as an ultimatum.
"Really Ginevra? You are actually gonna choose that freak over me? What? Are you in love with her or something?"
