By the Power Of the Cookie
by Erin Griffin
Fandom Harry Potter
Pairing: Ginny/Luna
Summarry: "Never underestimate the power of the cookie."
Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns these characters. I just own the cookie.
Note: For zagury for the prompt. I know I tweaked it so hard, but it was fun.
" She could never be too much, never be too clean or too much to handle and she could never be too loony. "
"Whoa. These fortune cookies ARE psychic!" Luna said, giving me the small slip of paper back and picking up her chopsticks. For someone who had just learned to use them, she could weild them like a pro now. I bet the blonde before me is glad that I dragged her to the international streets of this city, where the shops and restaurants from Asian traditions were. Everything was different for the both of us, and it was nice to explore it with her.
"Never underestimate the power of the cookie," I replied, slipping my fortune into my pocket and packing up the remains of my lunch. Luna looked at her own forune cookie as if scared to open it. "The cookie will not harm you, Luna," I said, trying so hard to suppress my giggle.
"Are you sure? They look like Howlers to me."
"It is just a messege. Something to think about. Nothing you should take seriously."
"But you just said-"
"Since when have you ever taken ME seriously?" I asked, which was meant only in jest, but she looked at me.
"All the time." Her voice was soft, yet very serious, and I wondered if perhaps I had offended her by suggesting what I might have. After she said this, she picked up the fortune cookie, broke it delicately, and stared at it. "Magic. That is all to it, Ginny. Pure magic. Natural magic." Luna said all this in nothing short of awe for the treat she put into her mouth as she chewed and reread the messege held between her fingertips.
"What does it say?"
" For all that you seek, that which remains before you becomes the greatest of treasures. "
"It's talking about you!" Luna said. She stood up suddenly. "You're 'the greatest of treasures'," she pointed out. I blushed.
"But what were you looking for?"
At this, Luna only smiles, her looked going far away to a place that I can never reach her. I wished for another fortune cookie. Maybe it would've been able to tell me, to unlock a couple more of Luna's secrets for me, but I had time. Though I had no doubts against the powers of the cookie, I would rather figure it out for myself where she is when she has that far away look of hers. Who knows, someday she might even take me with her. She walked away a few steps to take the remains of lunch to the trash bins, and then she returns to the table. She held out her hand to help me up, and I follow her movements. there is a quick kiss between us, and all I can think of is my own messege from the cookie.
" She could never be too much, never be too clean or too much to handle and she could never be too loony. "
Yes, this is true, and she could never be loved more.
