Rating: PG

Summary: Luna announces she's getting married, which comes as a bit of a surprise to her boyfriend of fifteen years.
A/N: Yes, I'm still in denial over this Rolf thing. LOL.

"You're going to what?" Dean yelped, whirling around abruptly and leaving a streak of green across the painted sky.

Luna didn't even seem to hear him. She hummed softly to herself and strung a dried Dirigible Plum onto the necklace she was making.

Dean drew in a deep breath and let it out. "We've always agreed that if we wanted to see other people, we could."

"Mmm-hmm."

"And I never complained about Neville, or Hermione..."

Luna shook her head and smiled.

That was the worst part, that after fifteen years she could end it with that serene smile on her face, that obviously she didn't share Dean's feelings. Which, at this particular moment, bore an uncanny resemblance to having his heart trampled on by a Crumple-Horned Snorkack. "And if I've asked you once to marry me, I've asked you a hundred times, but you always told me it was just a meaningless piece of parchment."

"And so it is," she said, and went back to the tune she was humming.

"THEN WHY IN THE NAME OF MERLIN'S DIRTY SOCKS ARE YOU GIVING THIS MEANINGLESS PIECE OF PARCHMENT TO SOME BLOKE YOU'VE JUST MET?"

"Because the Nargle takes five years to reach maturity, silly."

This was so far from what Dean had expected that he could only stare, mouth agape.

"You didn't seriously think..." Luna set down her work and crossed the room, took both his hands in hers. "Rolf is planning an in-depth study of Nargle development, and the only way the Department of International Magical Cooperation will let him stay in Britain that long is if he marries a British witch."

"...Oh."

"It'll be nothing but a formality. He's not at all interested in me, except as an expert on Nargle behavior."

"The man must be mad, then..."

"Not mad at all. He's got a boyfriend back in Sweden, you see. I imagine they'll miss each other terribly."

	(From deanlovesluna on LJ) This is wonderful! Very much what I could see happening. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you! I figured I needed a way to incorporate JKR's statement (though I don't really see it as canon) with my own shameless shipping. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	♥ I love it when characters capslock. I usually end up laughing while writing it, even if the subject of the rant is actually something serious. Thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hee! Bloody brilliant! Thank you! After that last interview I decided that until the encyclopedia is released, I'm not going to "believe" a word Joanne says. The woman has a very poor memory. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Indeed she does! Interviews aren't canon. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;) Thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Poor Dean. Life with Luna will never be easy, will it? Very cute! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Nah, I think it'll always be an adventure! ;) And thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Very cute! I love Luna. Who's Rolf? I take it JKR has made some more EWE-worthy statements? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	green_amber 2007-08-17 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! (Yes. Someone asked her in a chat who Luna married, and she pulled this Rolf guy out of her arse. Apparently he's supposed to be Newt Scamander's grandson or something, and they met while doing naturalist-y things. Except I'm mostly just ignoring it and singing "La la la, interviews aren't canon" to myself.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What an awesome piece of denial! Love it! And I agree, interviews aren't canon. I mean she changed Ron's career twice. Luna's so wonderfully random, she must be a joy and a horror to be around! -Butterfly_Kate (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Bless you. :) I also HEAVILY deny anything she said about Rolf. Because really, there's no reason to just set up Dean/Luna and then do nothing with it! -weasleytook @ Livejournal (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you! :) I'm really beginning to think she just forgot about the Dean/Luna hints she'd dropped between when she finished the book and when she did that chat. headdesk (Reply to this) (Parent)
