Harry Potter One Shots

Pretend (Luna)

You were at the bar. The only place you ever really went besides work. It was a place that helped you forget. It helped you forget about the awful things you had done in the wizard world. How you had been a Death Eater. How many people you had killed. You were lost in thought when a blonde girl walked in. She was pretty, and you felt like you had seen her before. Soon enough, some guy came up and started flirting with her. You noticed how uncomfortable she looked, so you went to save her. 

"Hey love, sorry I took so long. You know how business is right now." You said before wrapping your arm around her.

The guy ignored you and continued flirting with her.

"My name is Y/N, I'm here to rescue you." You whispered in her ear.

You saw a faint smile on her lips and she turned to you.

"Let's go home, Y/N. I'm quite bored here." She said before kissing your cheek.

You nodded and led her out.

"Thank you." She told you as the two of you walked out the door.

"No problem." You stated.

"I'm Luna, by the way. Also I know who you are." She replied.

"How?" You inquired.

"You were a few years ahead of me at Hogwarts. I know you were a Death Eater. I know you killed people. But you're different now. You're kind." She told you.

"I strive to be different than I was. Do you live close by? I'll walk you home." You offered.

She took your offer and led the way to her home. Her hand slowly slid into yours as you two walked in comfortable silence. You found yourself wanting to know Luna better, because she looked at you like no one else ever had.

"This is my stop." She said.

"It was nice meeting you." You told her.

"I would like to get to know you better. Would you like to come inside for a drink?" She asked you.

You turned the question over in your mind. Most people wouldn't invite an ex-Death Eater into their house. This girl wanted to know you. So, you agreed and followed her inside.
