Neville/Luna ficlet
Brace yourselves! After angsting over the fact that I hadn't written anything HP-related in a while, but not being motivated enough to change that, I went searching through my old Word documents and stumbled upon an old ficlet of mine! Apparently, I started writing it in freshman year but never got around to finishing it off. However, I think it ties off quite nicely where I stopped typing, so we're just going to leave it at that, yes?
Title: Operation: Ice Cream
Author's Name: FairyKiss22 :)
Rating: G
Summary: Luna realizes the connections in her life between her ice cream and her Neville.
Author's Notes: It's a one-shot. Could have been more, but... for now, and maybe forever, it is a one-shot.
There is not enough ice cream in the world.
Luna considers the lack of ice cream in the freezer and decides to settle for waffles instead. But she can’t really “settle.” She has to do something about it.
“What do you say, Trevor?” Luna turns to the toad. “Shall we go get some ice cream?” Trevor senses that Luna is going to take him out, and makes a valiant effort to hop to safety, but Luna is too quick for him.
“I don’t want to lose you, so this is for your own good,” she tells him solemnly and then proceeds to fashion a leash around his middle. It’s more of a piece of yarn than a leash, but sadly, no one seems to be interested in the toad industry. Luna has tried to convince Neville to open a shop for toads many a time, but to no avail.
Neville. The thought of him makes Luna’s face light up. It’s so wonderful to live with him. He makes her laugh, constantly, even if it isn’t on purpose. The accidental laughs are the best.
Luna picks up her great canvas bag and continues to think about Neville. He is the ice cream in her life. She smiles at her clever analogy.
Everyone deserves to have ice cream in his or her life. Luna knows she has plenty of it in her life, just not in her freezer. She likes to share it. She wonders if Neville knows when she’s sharing her metaphorical ice cream with him.
Neville often shares his with her. Luna pauses on her way out the door. Maybe he doesn’t know when she’s sharing. Maybe he gives it all away and is just left with an empty bowl. Maybe he doesn’t realize that it’s empty, or that she’s trying to refill it.
Luna moves through her vast flower garden to stand in the clover patch. A group of Thinkeblotts live here, and the scent they give off helps to stimulate the mind. It helps her to concentrate better, which allows her to Apparate more accurately, and Neville understands that. He had even painted a sign that said “Luna’s Landing” so she knew she had Apparated back to the right home, when she was returning. That was a scoop of ice cream if she ever saw one.
Luna smiles at her sign and realizes this simple trip is beginning to turn into a full-blown mission: Operation: Ice Cream.
She turns on the spot and Apparates, wondering if she can teach Trevor to croak famous Muggle mission tunes.
PS. An LJ-question-- my journal is f-locked, but is it possible to unlock random posts when I want to? Or, because I officially locked it, must it stay locked from now on?
