(following an ALL NEW 'Bad Girl')
Story Codes: no sex
Hermione slowly opened her eyes and was immediately startled because right in front of her face was Luna and her big silvery eyes. The previous day quickly came rushing back to Hermione. It had been one hell of a day, but it had ended in bliss. First there was the nervous planning and the gathering of the new sextet. Then the big fight and all that entailed. But finally and perhaps most important that accidental slip of the fact that Hermione was in love with Luna and right after that those wonderful kisses and Luna admitting that she was in love with Hermione too.
“You are very cute when you sleep, but also when you are awake.” Luna said in a thoughtful voice as if she was merely stating an obvious fact.
“Ohh..uhh. Thank you.” Hermione answered.
“And perhaps even more when you blush. “ Luna stated.
Luna pointing this out caused Hermione to blush even more.
“Are we girlfriends now?” Luna asked in a very serious tone.
Hermione was far too groggy to answer any complicated questions, but fortunately this question required no thinking. This was a question purely for the heart.
“Yes, I think we are. Uhhh…I mean of course we are. We are girlfriends.” Hermione managed to answer.
“Good.” Luna said in a cheery voice and planted a quick kiss right on Hermione’s lips.
The young girl then quickly bolted from the bed and was already out of the room before Hermione managed to speak again.
“Wait, Luna where are you going?” Hermione shouted after Luna.
Luna’s face popped up in the door and she answered.
“I am going to make lunch for you and me.”
“Lunch?” Hermione asked, but by then Luna was already gone.
Hermione fell back on the bed and took a glance at the clock and realized that it was indeed a good time for lunch. Hermione relaxed on the bed with a very happy smile. She had a girlfriend, and it felt absolutely amazing. Sweet, strong, smart Luna Lovegood was now her girlfriend, a girlfriend who at this very moment was making lunch in her kitchen. It was hard to believe, but it was indeed the truth. Hermione rested for a while, simply basking in her newfound happiness. She then heard a rumbling sound from her stomach reminding her that she hadn’t eaten in what felt like forever. She put on her robe and started to walk down the stairs. As she closed in on the kitchen she could hear singing.
“99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute” Luna sang.
Luna’s voice somehow suited this song very well. Hermione couldn’t help but find it incredibly cute that Luan was singing.
“Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons” She went on.
Hermione entered the kitchen and saw Luna dancing around the kitchen while she was whipping something in a bowl. Somehow she managed not to spill, even though Hermione could see a few drips on the floor. Hermione immediately realized that there was no point in asking Luna why she was singing and dancing, instead she asked what Luna was cooking.
“Pancakes.” Luna answered before she went on with the song.
“99 Jahre Krieg
Liessen keinen Platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt' s nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh ich meine Runden
Seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab' 'nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen”
As Luna was singing and whipping Hermione turned on the stove and started to set the table. She then waited by the stove to fry the pancakes.
“I’m cooking for you. Sit down.” Luna ordered as she finished the song.
Hermione quickly agreed. Normally she would have insisted on doing the cooking in her own house, but Luna seemed so enthusiastic about it that Hermione just couldn’t deny her. The first pancakes started to sizzle in the pan and Hermione drew in the tantalizing scent.
“It smells wonderful Luna.”
“I am actually rather good in the kitchen. My father has taught me well. I know magic cooking as well, but this is much funnier. And also you can’t sing if you’re going to do spells at the same time.”
Hermione simply smiled in response. Luna observed her closely with a thoughtful look on her face.
“Hermione, I would very much like to kiss you. We haven’t had a proper kiss today after all.”
Hermione was surprised by such a blunt request, but quickly realized that this was the kind of thing she would have to expect. Not that she minded though. It was very refreshing how straight forward Luna could be. Also that idea of kissing sounded mighty good to Hermione. She got up from the chair and closed in on Luna. Their lips met in a kiss that quickly heated up. Hermione was really starting to enjoy it when Luna suddenly ended it.
“Time to flip.” Luna said as she grabbed the frying pan and made the pancake flip over with an almost perfect landing.
“You’re good at this.” Hermione said.
“Yes, but it does require practising you know. My first attempts were rather less successful.”
“How so?”
“There was one pancake that got stuck in the roof for a second and then fell down in my face and there was one that ran out the door. Of course that was an act of accidental magic before I started Hogwarts.”
Hermione laughed as she thought of a pancake running out the Lovegood’s house.
“Daddy had to chase after it to keep any muggle from seeing it, but it was a quick one. He ran after it for quite some time and he couldn’t use magic to stop it either because there were muggles around. He told them that the pancake was a hamster. I don’t know if they could believe a hamster was that quick, but what else could they think?”
Luna stopped her storytelling to put the pancake on a plate and pour some new batter into the frying pan.
“Then what?” Hermione asked.
“Well, fortunately there came an old lady walking her dog. The dog ran after the pancake and quickly ate it. The old lady was rather blind so she actually thought the dog had eaten a hamster. She was terribly sorry, but my father had to insist that it was alright. She actually became cross that he cared so little about hamsters.”
Hermione had found the whole thing very amusing, but she couldn’t help but worry about regular humans seeing a running pancake.
“Did he erase the memory of the running pancake from those who had seen it?”
“No, people tend to not accept what they don’t believe even when they see it. Those who actually thought that they had seen a running pancake would say to themselves that that couldn’t possibly have been the case. They would convince themselves that it must have been a hamster, even though no hamster could have been that quick.” Luna explained.
“The Sunnydale syndrome.” Hermione said to herself.
“What is that?” Luna asked curiously as she started on another pancake.
Hermione didn’t know at first how much she could tell, but quickly decided that there was no problem in telling Luna.
“Well, I have a friend. An internet friend.”
“Ohh, I know what that is. Justin is rather enthusiastic about it. He has bought some of those computers for school. We used them in muggle studies.”
“Yes, I heard something about that. Anyway about my friend she lives in this small American town called Sunnydale that is crawling with all kinds of creatures. Mostly vampires, but other creatures as well. It is so much evil going on that the muggles really can’t miss it, but somehow they all seem to be ignorant about it. It is as if they don’t want to know about it.”
“I’m hungry, let’s eat.” Luna suddenly announced and went over to sit down at the table, bringing the pancakes with her.
Hermione was just about to say something about the pancakes getting burnt, but just then the frying pan flipped the pancake all on its own. The girls sat down and started to eat. Seeing as they both were starving there wasn’t much conversation. The pancakes tasted wonderful and Hermione realized that it had been quite a while since she had eaten a home cooked meal cooked by someone else.
“Thank you. This was delicious.” Hermione said as leaned back in the chair.
“Yes, I am good at pancakes.” Luna said with a satisfied smile.
Luna started to clear the table and Hermione immediately got up to help her. Luna took out the spoon from the bucket of scream they had been eating with the cakes. She was just about to put it in the sink, but then suddenly a mischievous smile came across her face.
“What are…”
Hermione began to say before Luna showed her intentions by touching Hermione’s nose with the spoon, leaving a splotch of ice cream behind on Hermione’s nose tip. Before Hermione had a chance to react Luna leaned in and kissed the ice-cream away. She then just stood there waiting for a reaction from Hermione. At first Hermione was too surprised to do anything, but then a smile spread across her face.
“I just put ice-cream on your nose. What are you going to do?” Luna challenged.
Hermione pondered her options. She had to do something in response. On idea was to retaliate in kind. This would most likely lead to a full fledged food war which would no doubt turn out very messy. On the other hand that small kiss on the nose had sent shivers of pleasure throughout Hermione’s body and she really liked that. What Hermione choose was to grab hold of Luna and bring her into a passionate make out session.
“You taste like strawberry.” Luna said as the kiss ended.
Hermione had no good answer so instead she pulled Luna in for another kiss. With every kiss Hermione became more comfortable about being so close to Luna. Kissing was good, but she wanted more so she started to let her hands do some gently exploration of Luna’s body. She moved her hand down Luna’s back and down to her ass. A small voice of insecurity was inside Hermione’s head said that she had gone too far, but Luna let out a content sigh and moved her hands down to Hermione’s ass. Luna was more daring and squeezed Hermione’s ass through the fabric of the robe. Hermione let out a surprised yelp, but did nothing to stop this; instead she did the same to Luna.
“Whaaaa?” was suddenly heard from the fireplace.
Hermione instinctively disentangled herself from Luna, but did it so quickly that she almost fell over.
“Hey, Harry.” Luna said.
Hermione turned around and saw the very shocked head of Harry Potter in the fireplace. His mouth was hanging open and he looked like he had seen a ghost.
“Me and Hermione are girlfriends now.” Luna proudly explained.
“I can see that.” Harry said, still in shock.
“You might just as well come over here in person.” Hermione said.
Harry’s head disappeared and a few seconds later he emerged with his whole body from the fireplace. Luna did a quick spell to clean the dust off of him and he went over to sit down on one of the chairs. With both Harry and Hermione in shock, Luna was the one who spoke.
“As I said we are girlfriends now, we decided so this morning in bed. Of course, part of it was yesterday when we kissed for the first time. It was very nice and we are both in love with each other.”
“Bed?” Harry yelped in what could only be described as a frightened voice.
Hermione went beat red and started to explain.
“We were just sleeping, as in shutting eyes and being unconscious. That kind of sleeping.”
“What is this?” Harry asked in what sounded an awful lot like accusation.
This quickly changed Hermione’s mood from shock and embarrassment to rage.
“Do you have a problem with this Harry? Me being with a girl? I thought we did our whole fight for tolerance and now you come here and accuse…”
“No, no, no. Not that. I don’t have a problem with that. I was just thinking about Ron.”
“Ron? We broke up you know. I told you so.”
“Yeah, but that wasn’t very long ago. I kinda thought it was just temporary.”
“No, it certainly wasn’t. We’ve had problems for quite some time you know. Don’t you remember this summer at the Burrow?”
“Well, yeah but….”
Hermione’s anger had ebbed. She could see that Harry was just trying to understand.
“We just weren’t right for each other. We are still friends I think. Luna is just ….. well….wonderful.” Hermione said and smiled at Luna who already had a very bright and proud smile on her face.
Harry took a few deep breaths before proceeding to speak.
“Well, then I guess a congratulations is in order. I guess I’m still in shock, but the two of you look very happy together.”
“Thank you.” Hermione said and walked over to give Harry a hug.
Moments later Luna joined the hug by wrapping her hands both around Harry and Hermione.
“So, what did you want anyway?” Hermione asked as they sat back on their chairs.
“Uhhh, I was just wondering what you needed my cloak for? Neville returned it today and all I could get out of him was that you had requested it. You know you can borrow it whenever you need to, I just wonder why?”
“It is better if you don’t know Harry. We did something good and also somewhat dangerous.”
“Why didn’t you ask me to help? You know I would have come in an instant.”
“Do you really want more danger, Harry?”
“Not really, but some thing have to be done.”
“If I really need your help, I’ll ask, Ok?
Hermione had a very determined look on her face signalling that this was the end of discussion and Harry relented.
“By the way, I’m glad to see you again Luna. How was Africa?” Harry asked.
As Luna started to tell Harry about some of her African adventures Hermione sat back and listened. Even as she enjoyed Luna’s story she couldn’t help but worry about what the future had in store for her and Luna. Harry had turned out to be accepting in the end and Hermione just hoped that this would be the case with other friends and family as well. She knew one thing however; that whatever they had to go through it was worth it because Luna was the one she wanted.
Hermione slowly opened her eyes and was immediately startled because right in front of her face was Luna and her big silvery eyes. The previous day quickly came rushing back to Hermione. It had been one hell of a day, but it had ended in bliss. First there was the nervous planning and the gathering of the new sextet. Then the big fight and all that entailed.

Very good, just curious about the whole "repeating itself" situation
