We finished it two weeks from the day we started it.
And it's not even two full pages.
That is sad.

Hermione rushes blindly down the first hallway inside the castle, her heart thudding painfully and the rushing sound of her own blood in her ears. She can barely get a handle on the cold fear and the betrayal that had gripped her heart back out there on the quidditch pitch, when Luna had admitted she'd told her friend about their relationship. Not able to carry on for the time being, she ducks into the nearest alcove and all but collapses on the stone bench. She spends several long minutes fighting for control until finally she's sitting quiet, drained, staring at the floor.

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 30th 2010, 4:29 pm

Luna hurries in after Hermione, staying far enough behind for Hermione to not notice her, but close enough to see where she ended up running off too. She sees her head into the small alcove and hesitates before following her in there, not sitting down but just holding the bag out to her instead. "You forgot this," she said quietly, looking into Hermione's sad, betrayed face and trying to hold back her own tears because she knew that this was all her fault.

Mya Lupin September 30th 2010, 4:32 pm

Hermione blinks at the bag, slowly following the path of the hand it is attached to, up the arm until she lands on Luna's stricken face. Slowly she reaches up and takes the book bag, her eyes not leaving Luna's. "I was very rude to your friend," she says abruptly. "I'm sorry - didn't mean -" she tries.

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 30th 2010, 4:35 pm

Luna's face shows how obviously shocked she is by the response and she quickly sits down next to Hermione. "It wasn't your fault. I don't blame you. I...I shouldn't have told him anything. I promised you that I wouldn't and I couldn't even do that right," she says sadly, still looking at Hermione. "I'm so sorry, Hermione. I didn't want to tell. He just...He wouldn't drop it and I've never been really good at making things up, so I didn't know what to do."

Mya Lupin September 30th 2010, 4:39 pm

Hermione sighs and runs a hand through her bushy hair, hating to see Luna so upset. It makes her wish she was stronger, or better, or less afraid of herself. "No. Was it wrong of me? To ask you to keep it to yourself, I mean? It's just, I'm still so overwhelmed by all this and I didn't think about what it might be like for you. Erm... I take it he's a good friend? You seemed close," she comments, hoping that what he'd said was true, and that he really hadn't told anyone.

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 30th 2010, 4:45 pm

Luna sighs and nods. "He is. He's really nice, and I know he wouldn't tell anyone if I told him not to...Which I did," she says softly. "And I don't mind if we don't tell anyone if you don't want them to know. It's fine. But...Can I just know why we're keeping it a secret?" she asks quietly. "It isn't because of me, right?" She bites her lip nervously, not wanting to think about what Rad told her when she confessed about Hermione but it'd been bothering her since she mentioned it, and she couldn't help but ask to see if it was true.

Mya Lupin September 30th 2010, 4:54 pm

Hermione's eyes widen and she breathes in sharply at Luna's question. Without thinking of the consequences, trusting their little alcove to keep them hidden from prying eyes, she stands and puts her hand lovingly on Luna's cheek, staring imploringly into her eyes. "Oh, no. Merlin, no, Luna. It's not you, I promise. It's me. I'm... afraid," she says, blushing with shame for feeling this way. "I just don't understand everything yet, and if I could have just a little time to get used to things... I never thought I'd fall for a girl, you know, and then all of a sudden here we are together and it's mind-boggling." She sighs, realising that she's not painting a very positive picture of things here. "I don't regret it. Please know that. I want this, I really, really do. I'm just not ready to share it with the whole world."

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 30th 2010, 5:06 pm

Luna sighs with relief and smiles when she feels Hermione's hand on her cheek. She wanted this and that's all that mattered to Luna. "Oh," she breathes, obviously relieved by the answer. "Well, I promise no one else is ever going to know. Just Rad, and he won't tell anyone. I know he won't. I understand though. Whatever you want, Hermione. I don't want to tell anyone if you don't."

Mya Lupin September 30th 2010, 5:12 pm

Hermione smiles brightly, her hand stroking Luna's cheek gently. "Thank you," she whispers, then leans in, claiming the smaller girl's mouth gently with her own.

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 30th 2010, 5:19 pm

Luna smiles against Hermione's lips, setting her hands on the other girl's waist as she eagerly returns the kiss. She sighs happily, not hesitating as she lets her tongue pass through Hermione's parted lips, wanting to feel that sweet sensation she gets whenever she's kissing her girlfriend because it's something she can never seem to get enough of.

Mya Lupin September 30th 2010, 5:27 pm

Hermione makes a little noise of contentment as she feels Luna's tongue sliding against her own and somehow it manages to make her brain shut down just a little bit. Just enough to lose herself in the moment. The hand on Luna's cheek slips downwards, resting on the Ravenclaw's collar bone and fiddling absently with the collar of her shirt while her other hand sneaks around to her lower back, pulling their bodies closer still.

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 30th 2010, 5:43 pm

Luna shivers slightly at the feeling of Hermione's hands on her body, and allows one hand to trail up Hermione's back until it reaches that pretty hair of her's which Luna tangles her hand in. She cautiously lets the hand on Hermione's waist slip under the other girl's shirt, wanting to feel that soft skin again like she did that day at the picnic before they'd been interrupted.

Mya Lupin September 30th 2010, 5:50 pm

Hermione tenses for half a second as Luna's hands reach bare skin, but after that half-second, she resumes her activities with even greater intensity. She has no idea how it happens, but somehow she finds herself pressing Luna against the back wall of the alcove, her mouth at her neck and her hand tugging the back of her shirt up so she can feel the warm, smooth skin of Luna's lower back as she traces her fingertips over it. She doesn't stop to think, she just feels her way and marvels in the dizzying perfection of the moment.

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 30th 2010, 6:05 pm

Luna lets out a small, surprised gasp as she finds herself pressed against the wall, Hermione's body against her own as the other girl's lips are at her own soft neck. She slips both hands under Hermione's shirt, letting her hands gently explore the other girl's back, desperate to feel more of the soft skin underneath and finding that nothing is never enough because with Hermione, it seems like Luna is always wanting more.

Mya Lupin September 30th 2010, 6:14 pm

Hermione feels the little whimpers falling from her lips and barely recognises herself in this moment as she sucks more forcefully at the blonde's neck. Her hands pushes the collar of her shirt impatiently out of the way, exposing just a little more skin, which Hermione feasts on hungrily. "This is unbelievable," she mumbles against Luna's skin which is rapidly becoming peppered with red marks. "You feel... amazing."

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 30th 2010, 10:03 pm

Luna blushes slightly, but smiles at Hermione's words, ignoring that fact that she's going to have to hide these marks eventually. She lets out a soft quiet moan as she feels Hermione sucking fervently at her neck, eventually taking Hermione's face in her hands to look her in the eyes. "You're amazing," she said softly before kissing Hermione on the lips, softly at first before kissing her girlfriend more passionately, not wanting this moment to ever have to end.

Mya Lupin October 1st 2010, 2:12 am

[REALLY fucking late right now love, but I just wanted to reply before I left! xxoo Sorry I probably won't get to talk to you today! *howls mournfully*]

Hermione blinks, almost startled when Luna gently pulls her face back upwards, a ghost of a smile flickering over her lips at Luna's words. She pours all her feelings into her kiss, which quickly becomes more intense than anything she's ever felt before. Her mouth presses against Luna's, hard, and her hands begin to move over her soft skin, leaving her back to brush over her waist and her stomach, marveling at how delicious the younger girl's skin feels against her hands.

**Ravenclaw Mod** October 1st 2010, 3:36 am

Hermione's touch sets Luna's soft, pale skin on fire as she's touched in ways that she's never been touched before. She doesn't mind that her head is spinning right now and she's completely unaware of her surroundings. She's never had a wrackspurt problem, but she has a feeling that it feels something like this. Right now, she's not thinking about classes, or what's for dinner, or if there will be pudding. All there is to think about is Hermione, Hermione, and more Hermione.

Mya Lupin October 1st 2010, 7:13 am

Hermione's hands seem to have developed minds of their own, and they wander north, her fingers grazing Luna's ribcage. Reality creeps into her awareness though, and she finds her mind churning back into gear, reminding her that this is too much, too intense, and they are too exposed. She pulls away with a slight gasp, her wide brown eyes fixed on Luna's pretty face as her hands start to slip free from under Luna's shirt. "This might be getting a bit out of hand," she murmurs apologetically.

**Ravenclaw Mod** October 1st 2010, 7:30 am

Luna's skin shivers under Hermione's gentle touch, not doing anything at all to stop her at all until Hermione eventually pulls away, and Luna does not pout though she really does feel like pouting now. "Oh. Right. Out of hand," she mumbles as she flattens out the front of her shirt, not sure if she should look back up at Hermione because every time she does that, all she wants to do is snog her silly.

Mya Lupin October 1st 2010, 7:57 am

Bringing a gentle hand up, Hermione pushes Luna's hair back from her face, her fingers lingering on the pale cheek before she withdraws again. She looks around, somewhat embarrassed. "It's just, this isn't exactly private, or the most comfortable setting. And I seem to have trouble keeping my head straight around you," she sighs.

**Ravenclaw Mod** October 1st 2010, 8:01 am

Luna smiles softly as she feels Hermione's hands pushing the hair out of her eyes. And If Luna could smirk, she probably would at that last comment. But alas, she is not a smirker so she just smiles. "Yeah, I know the feeling," she said with a sly smile because that's sort of like a smirk, right?

Mya Lupin October 1st 2010, 8:15 am

Hermione smiles broadly at her girlfriend because it makes her feel indescribably happy to know that Luna is as into the relationship as she is. She moves back in and kisses her again before forcing herself to break it. "I should really go before I realise how much I want to stay," she breathes, and steps back to scoop up the bag Luna had returned to her. "Bye," she whispers and leaves the alcove before she can touch Luna again, half afraid that if she does, they'll never leave.
