Luna went straight to the Gryffindor common room after the small talk with Hermione.
"Neville?" she called.
He came down the boys' dormitory's stairs looking nervous and surprised to see her there.
He bent down to one knee and cleared his throat. "Luna Lovegood. Will you marry me?" he opened a small box to reveal a golden ring with diamonds encrusted along it.
"Yes" she breathed.

Hermione went to the Slytherin common room and crawled into bed. It had been a tiring, eventless day.
She changed and went into the bed but found sleep just beyond her reach.
She thought of her talk with Luna and wondered what happened in the end.
She hoped it went well. She wouldn't know what to do if Neville dumped her.
Maybe he proposed? Nah. Silly me.
I closed my eyes and thought of how she would react if someone proposed to her.
She bumped into someone and her eyes flew open as they crashed to the ground. It was Malfoy.
She got up quickly and thanked the dim lighting as she was blushing. "Sorry" she mumbled.
"Why are you up so late?" he asked, blocking her way.
She tried to step to the side but he mimicked her.
"I could ask you the same question"
She tried again but to no avail. "Move over Malfoy!" she said, frustrated.
"Give me one good reason to"
She went to slide under him but he caught her arm and brought her back up.
"I really hate you" she said.
"I noticed"
She stopped and thought of some spells to do. When she finally did think of one Malfoy plucked the wand out of her hand and waved just above her reach.
Astoria jumped up from behind him and ran away with her wand. Momentarily distracted, Hermione seized her chance.
She chased Astoria and Draco chased Hermione.
"Astoria give it!" Hermione ran after her as they turned a corner.
"Potter!" Draco suddenly leaped and tacked Hermione to the ground.
"Get-off-me" she said, struggling.
"Give me one good reason too" he said.
Hermione smirked and brought up her knee. Draco rolled to the side in pain.
She glanced back at him before running off after Astoria.
"Have you noticed?" Astoria asked as if she wasn't running faster than humanly possible. "That you and Draco look cu-" Hermione leaped and grabbed the wand from Astoria, landing in front of her and aiming the wand at her.
"Woah" Astoria sighed. "I thought only ninjas in movies did that."
"Don't ever underestimate me"
Startled, Hermione woke up, a grin across her face.
Seeing the green and silver still shocked her. She was so used to the warm red and gold colors of the Gryffindor common room.
These colors were cold. Slytherins were cold. She was cold. Hermione was one of them now.
