Looney - Luna Lovegood X Reader

2:2

I start packing up my things as fast as I can.

The people around me are looking at me, I know it.

Watching.

Pity.

That's what they feel.

"Y/n!" Ginny says and sets her hand on my shoulder, "I hope you know that liking girls won't change anything between us."

"I know, I just - I need to be alone. Tell Luna I'm going back to our dorm. She can tell our other teachers that I'm not feeling well or something..." I reply, not fully making eye contact.

"Well, alright then."

-

She knows.

She knows.

I must look rather pitiful, sitting in my room, crying.

Silly girl.

My biggest fear is not being accepted by those I love.

Pathetic really.

After wiping away my tears, I walk over to the mirror above Luna and my dresser.

I look tragic.

Puffy, red eyes, messy hair, and a loose uniform.

I'm just going to have to get over it.

Right?

With a slow, but sure motion, I pick up my brush and begin to comb my knotty hair.

The pain is making me cry again, but I wipe them away quickly.

I am quite sick of crying.

-

It's now the beginning of Christmas break.

No one has mentioned what happened with my boggart.

They think I may break down if they bring it up.

I'm fine now.

But nobody gets that.

I'm staying at Hogwarts despite Cedric's desperate attempts to drag me home.

Luna, Ginny, and Neville are staying as well.

Luna.

She has not spoken about the situation either.

It worries me.

What if she doesn't accept me?

No.

I won't think like that.

-

"Y/n." A voice calls out.

I lay in my bed, reading a book about herbology that Neville let me borrow.

I look up from my book to see Luna.

Luna.

"Yes?" I say, setting my book down.

She sits on the end of my bed and looks at me.

"I just wanted to say that you are not disgusting. Just because you like girls doesn't change anything between us. I'll accept you no matter what."

I smile gently, "Thank you so much, Luna."

She gets up and leaves the dorm room.

I let out the breath that I didn't know I was holding in.

After months of not letting myself cry, I let a tear slip down my cheek.

Then hundreds more.

Relief.

                             ~ Christmas ~

Luna wakes me up.

"Christmas!! Christmas!!" She tells me while shaking my shoulder.

"I'm up! I'm up!" I laugh out.

The only two people in the dorm on this holiday were Luna and me. Everyone else left for home.

I climb out of my bed and walk to the front of it.

Beautifully wrapped presents lay there.

One sticks out to me.

To Y/n

From Luna

Though I want to open it as soon as possible, I push it to the side to save it for last.

A sweater from Mrs. Weasley.

Fake wands from the twins.

Sugar quills from Ron.

Jelly slugs from Ginny.

A magical creatures book from Neville.

A new set of quills from Hermione.

A set of shoes from my father.

Exploding bonbons from Cedric.

Toothflossing stringmints from Harry.

And from Luna, a charm bracelet.

A beautiful charm bracelet with a pride flag, and a thestral, and the quibbler magazine.

A little note attached to it said,

I hope you enjoy this.

Every time something significant happens between us, a charm will appear.

I have one too.

A pride flag for you trusting me with your sexuality.

A thestral for this year, when we both could see the animals.

And the quibbler magazine for us reading every night.

Love,

Luna

A/N: Hello everyone, I hope you have a very happy holiday!! :)
