I'm sorry if I say, "I need you."

But I don't care,

I'm not scared of love.

'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker.

Is that so wrong?

Is it so wrong

That you make me strong?

The lyrics reminded her painfully of the boy she loved. Ginny taped her shoulder and she took out her earphones, "What happened?" Ginny whispered looking more worried than curious.

"He found another girl." Luna whispered back, glancing behind her back at Professor Snape who was scowling at her "I'll tell you later." Ginny shook her head, like she didn't want to wait until later, but she went back to her worksheet.

When the bell rang Luna headed to the picnic benches where she found Michael looking more distressed than usual. His blonde hair was sticking up at weird places and he looked pale as a sheet. Luna hurried over to him "What's wrong?!" He ran a hand through his windswept hair

"That's her."

"What? Who's who?" Michael pointed at where Neville was sitting with the brown haired girl, staring into his eyes and feeding him fries. Now Luna hated fries. Back to Michael-

"Who is she?" Michael looked like he was about to cry

"She's Hannah Abbot. The girl I told you about, the reason they kicked me out of my house?" He said it like a question, as if he wasn't quite sure about it himself. Luna looked from Michael to the girl, what were the odds?

The girl was so close to Neville that it hurt her. Next to her, Michael whimpered "Luna, I miss her so much!" Luna hugged him

"I know, Michael, I know. I miss him." Luna and Michael spent all lunch simultaneously looking at Neville and Hannah's table, looking away whenever someone walked by. At one point Luna looked up and Neville was staring right at her! Maybe he was mad, maybe he'd caught them staring! She looked down sheepishly. She thought back, there had been something in his eyes. . . not anger. Something else. . . longing, regret? She didn't know, all she knew was that she hated that look with a passion. She hated that look, and she didn't want to be the cause.

Ginny slid into the seat next to her and pointed at her and Michael "You two. Spill." Michael told her about Hannah and Luna about Neville. Ginny sat back "Holy crap!" She looked up at them "You guys okay?" At the same time they said

"Yeah!" They looked at each other, then back at Ginny "No." Then they hugged.

"Everything will be okay."

She knew it would be.
