Chapter 175 - 175- Love

LUNA'S POV

After taking Fleur out of the grand Hall, Luna decided to take her to the ROR as it is the only place where they can't be disturbed by people, of course, the moment they actually reached the room, Fleur asked to know everything about it.

While Luna explained about it, they both knew Fleur wasn't really as interested in the room as she seemed to be, instead, she gave Luna time to think about the explanations she wanted to give.

It took Luna some time but by the time she finished explaining the ability of the ROR she had her thoughts organized.

"Ask your questions"

"What is this earring? I just thought you and Harry had a matching ones, but it's not that right? You can talk with them!"

"Yes, this is an enchanted earrings, they are connected with other earrings to give a person the ability to talk with another person who wears the same kind."

"Where did you get them?"

"Harry gifted them to me."

"Why? How? It must have been expensive and I know he doesn't have good enough relationship with the Potter family to get this amount of money."

Luna couldn't explain Harry was the one to make it as it would wipe the memory out of Fleur's mind so instead she just shrugged.

"Never mind then." Fleur said "How about you explain to me why were James Potter and your potions Professor anxious to find Harry."

Actually, Luna wasn't sure about it herself, but she had a good idea.

She, just like the rest of the castle, heard Marcus' shouting about the return of Voldemort, but with her ability to see auras she could tell his memory has been messed with, as foreign magic seemed to want to be added to his mind.

The thing is, she recognized the magic, it was Harry's, which probably meant the reason why they searched for him is that they found something about it.

She would have been nervous for him, if not for the Fidelius charm, as it will help him avoid being caught as a suspect, it is more likely he use it to start his revenge on the Potters, something she knew he won't give up.

But once more, it wasn't something she could say out loud, so instead she changed the subject.

"I'm not sure." not a lie "but I have a question of my own." Her eyes and tone changed from their almost constant dreamy state. "What is your intention toward my Harry?" That was a question Luna didn't want to ask, but had to, as she wasn't willing to leave the situation like it is, as it will cause their friendship to be destroyed.

Of course she knew Fleur has feelings for Harry, she saw it in her aura since the start of the infatuation, of course, it took her awhile to know who it was for as she mostly saw Fleur and Victor at the same time just like Harry and thought it was for Victor, but at the Yule Ball she noticed the jealousy directed at her.

She thought it will pass, as Fleur is a really beautiful woman, not to mention part Veela, she is sure to have many suitors, hell, if Luna want in love with Harry she would have a crush on Fleur! But as the year passed the feelings Fleur has for Harry seem to grow.

As Fleur seemed able to suppress the feelings toward Harry and jealousy toward her, Luna wanted to leave it like that, with Fleur leaving Britain back to French, her emotions are bound to disappear, right?

But then, when they talked after the third task, Fleur told Luna she is moving to Britain to work at Gringots.

That made Luna realize she had to ask Fleur, no, she had to convince her to let go of her emotions, as Luna wouldn't let her steal Harry.

That is why she said MY Harry, it was to show dominance.

Fleur seemed taken back for a second by the chance of subject, but then she just sighed.

"So you noticed?"

"Of course I noticed, every time he talks you have the same dreamy look I was born with."

"It's worse with you, every time I see you with him your eyes seemed to look like hearts, and don't think I forgot you calling Harry 'my'," Fleur smirked at that "I didn't know you and Harry became a couple."

"Don't change the subject!" Luna said, cheeks tingling with red.

Fleur sighed and said "I don't know! I don't! I want to leave him to you, I truly do, but I also want to snatch him for my self, how could I not? I love him!" The look of horror, surprise and sadness showed Luna it wasn't said on purpose, that probably even Fleur didn't know it until she said so.

"How can you love him?" Luna said, eyes filling with tears and heart with regret as she knew that no matter what, the end of the conversation will also be the end of their friendship. "You don't know him!"

"Yes I do!" Fleur said eyes also filled with tears. "He is smart, funny and handsome, he is a person who becomes friends with a person based of their actions, not their ancestry, he doesn't want recognition but yearns to be remembered, he isn't the most amazing wizard I met, but he is the most remarkable human being I ever saw!" Tears started to flow down both of their cheeks during her speech.

"I know who I fell for, I do!" Fleur said quietly.

It took a few minutes for both of them to calm down, but when they finally did Luna said "You won't win, you will leave in a few weeks and I still have three years ahead of me to end up with him."

"I won't compete with you," Fleur said, surprising Luna. "You aren't only my only non-Veela female friend, but you are also someone who I love, even if in a different way then Harry," she smiled at Luna as she said that, "but if you don't manage in until Harry leaves school to capture his heart, then it's fair game."

They both locked eyes one against the other, unwilling to be the first to look away.

At first it was a silent eye contest filled with determined, but as time passed and not one of them turned her eyes, it just became awkward silence, just just as Luna was about to say something, the door of the ROR opened, revealing Harry.
