Luna stood with here eyes wide and frozen in fear. Her former friend was now pointing a wand at her with a malicious smile. She wanted to move or disapparate or, well... anything in that moment. The fear she felt, wouldn't allow her to do so. The only other time she had felt a fear almost as bad was when she was a prisoner in Malfoy Manner. Even though, this fear was worse.

Luna let out a yelp when she heard Ginny say the words she hoped would never again be uttered at her, "Avada Kadavera." As time slowed down and the tip of Ginny's wand glowed green, she heard two other spells cast in both directions of her. One was, "Expelliarmus!" The other was, "Stupify!" Just as Ginny's wand flew out of her hand and the green energy of the curse flew another direction, Luna's was still looking on when a red spell hit Ginny in the face and sent her back a foot and to the ground. She began to breath heavily as Harry ran up to her and held her face in his hands.

"Luna! Luna, look at me. Look at me. You're alright love," Harry told her to get her to focus on something else.

It took her a couple of minutes to calm down once her focus was on Harry. When she was calm enough, she kissed Harry and looked at Ginny's unconscious body and sighed. She then looked the direction the green curse went and saw a tree that was black and dead. She then looked back at Harry with a confused look. Harry cocked his head to the side.

"What's wrong my love?" Harry asked.

She looked around again. "Who disarmed her?"

Harry looked away and exhaled. "Please don't be mad. He was at the Ministry after testifying in a case and requested to be deputized to help us. He said it was the closest he could get to make peace with himself and for something horrible he had done. And he couldn't pass up the opportunity to bring down a Weasley."

Luna tilted her head and Harry sighed and motioned to his right. Luna stood in surprise and gripped Harry's arm tightly when the wizard was that had saved her life stepped forward. She could not believe that it was a the wizard from school whom she spent the last several years fearing and scorning. That wizard was, Draco Malfoy. Harry placed a hand on her shoulder to keep her calm. Luna noticed something different about Draco.

She looked at Draco in disbelief but gave him a chance to say something or explain himself. Draco looked Luna in the eye and gave her a slight bow with his wand in hand, pressed against his chest. He looked at her again, this time sorrowfully and bowed his head. Luna looked back at Draco with a look of understanding and bowed her head in return. Draco looked over at Harry with a knd of smile he never had before and Apparated. Luna would never have to explain the silent conversation as Harry already knew what it was they were saying.

Neville approached while he kept looking at Luna and to where Draco was before he looked at Harry and nodded his head in the direction Draco was standing. Harry chuckled.

"Draco came with us and saved Luna's life just now. That exchange with so few motions said more than words could," he explained.

"What did they say?" Neville asked.

"Luna forgave him Neville," he replied. Putting as simply as possible.

Neville's eyes widened as he looked over again and whispered, "What".
Luna smiled while she turned to them. "That's right. I forgive him. I know the memories I have from that awful experience may always linger like Wrackspurts. Draco doing what he did today though, it proves that he, unlike those other Death Eaters, felt remorse and wanted to make amends for it. It would be wrong to not forgive him."

Harry's smile widened. "That is one of many reasons why I have fallen in love with you. The way you can see things in any perspective."

Luna smiled her usual dreamy smile. She then looked at Giny's unconscious body.

"What happens to Ginny from here?" Luna asked.

"From here," Harry began, "She's going to be taken to the Auror's Department, questioned under Veritaserum and sent to Azkaban until she faces the Wizengamot. They'll decide her sentence there. There's enough witnesses here as to what happened that I doubt we'll need to testify."

Ginny was then petrified and taken away with the Aurors. Before they left, they asked Harry and Neville if they would return and were promptly turned down by both men. Neville Apparated back to Hermione shortly after and promised to keep them informed of the due date for their girl. When everyone else left, Harry and Luna wondered around and silently enjoyed each others company now that the stress of being stalked by Ginny was gone. Eventually they found a spot they found suitable to set up camp.

Harry admired Luna as she set down and unpacked her stuff. She seemed as if the ordeal from earlier had happened either ages ago or not at all. A skill he couldn't wait to learn himself. Something he knew, there would be plenty of time to learn. He never wanted to leave her side again. Though the quirks of hers he didn't know about would take some getting used to.

Luna walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him. Resting her head on his chest. She was tense at first after almost losing her life. Yet feeling him embrace her, made it all go away. She hoped it would last. She then looked up at him with a smile as her gray eyes met his green eyes and made her body tingle.

"So what happens from here Harry?" she asked.

He smiled and pulled her closer with his gaze never leaving hers. "We take it one day at a time Luna. This started out as me finding a new path. But now, you and I have began the journey down a new path. The possibilities will be endless. As long as we remain on the journey... together."

He then kissed her deeply before she gently pulled back and looked into his eyes one more time and said, "Yes Harry Potter, I will marry you."

Harry let out a laugh and said, "Then that'll be the next stop on our path," before he kissed her again. Both of them ready to face what may come.
