I'd love to see what you'd do with a R/Hr. A short one. Your only one. *cough* Always good to have *one* in different pairings.... Just as long as it's not a habit...

I agree with you on Luna-love her by herself, but she'd drive Ron insane in oblivious ways... I think he needs someone with an edge, who doesn't mind getting her/his hands dirty and shouting a bit.

I could see Luna paired with several people in the short term, that might be fun. Friends with benefits, as someone who came into a life and left it changed. I can see her with Neville, Harry, Ron and Snape that way--but really hard to see it as being forever, because in the end I think Luna would drive them all nuts--even Harry, though I think he's more plausible long-term than the others.

I think the best pairing for Luna I've ever read put her with Charlie. He's practically an OC, so he can be made to fit, and they share a love of Magical Creatures. In that sense, I feel JKR did right by Luna in interview canon--putting her with Scamander, making her a naturalist. I'm not one who ever saw her fitting Neville.

And Neville and a shy 'Puff like Hannah would suit nicely actually.

Well, I read all over the place really (and consider myself to have two other OTPs-Drarry and Ron/Pansy) so it surprises me a bit that I haven't written more outside the ship and very little that directly contradicts it. Apparently I am more OTP than I thought.

I actually loathe Luna/Neville with a passion-it strikes me as ridiculous for reasons that I've never really examined. I very much like the thought of Luna/Charlie (even if I prefer the thought of Charlie as the gay Weasley, because statistically speaking it's kind of inevitable).

I think Luna would drive them all nuts--even Harry, though I think he's more plausible long-term than the others.

Heeee. So true.

I loathe Neville/Luna too, even if I couldn't quite articulate it. Just because they're the unpaired part of the "Ministry Six" doesn't mean they belong together.

Lots of large families actually don't have gay child though. I think it's no more than say 3 percent really from studies I've seen (although I believe it's more a continuum than an absolute, but that in homophobic cultures you don't see the full expression).

Although, if you're going to make Charlie gay, I like him with Draco. Cuz the idea of a dragon rider/tamer/whisperer with someone named "dragon" is just too good.

I think Luna would drive them all nuts--even Harry, though I think he's more plausible long-term than the others.

Heeee. So true.

Harry and Luna do have this really sweet moment in OotP, where they connect over losing their mothers. Maybe. I could be convinced. But Ron? Snape? Neville? Long term. No.
