Luna could arrive at the Yule Ball looking like a fairy in a flowing dress. Harry would be stunned by her appearance. She would approach him and say something really odd but endearing like 'The moon told me we should dance tonight.' Harry would chuckle and take her hand. Throughout the night, they would exchange glances that show their growing mutual understanding, and they might even share a secret or two between their dances.
At the Yule Ball, Luna might take Harry's hand and lead him to a corner where they can see the whole dance floor. She would tell him stories about the constellations and how they relate to the magic of the ball. Harry would listen intently, and they would share a moment of quiet connection. Then, Luna would drag Harry to the dance floor and they would dance in a carefree manner, laughing all the while.
The most interesting part could be their first dance. Harry, who is used to being in the spotlight for more dangerous reasons, now has all eyes on him in a different way at the ball. And Luna, with her dreamy and free - spirited nature, might lead him in a dance that's full of unexpected twirls and steps. It would be a contrast to the more formal and traditional dances that others are doing.
Well, in some fanfictions, Harry might get some pep talk from his friends. For example, Hermione could tell him that Luna is a really nice girl and he should just go for it. This gives him the initial nudge. Then, he might see Luna doing something really cool, like standing up to some bullies or showing off her unique knowledge of magical creatures. That moment could make him think 'She's so amazing, I have to ask her', and finally he just takes a deep breath and does it.
One interesting plotline could be Luna and Harry getting to know each other better during the Yule Ball preparations. Maybe they discover a shared love for some strange magical creatures while practicing their dance steps.
Luna is often very well - written in these fanfictions. Her unique personality, with her dreamy nature and belief in all kinds of magical creatures, really shines through. Writers can explore her character more deeply during the Yule Ball setting, like showing how she might react to the more formal and traditional aspects of the ball while still being her true self.
One idea could be that Harry, who is initially nervous about the Yule Ball, gets some unexpected advice from Luna. She tells him to just be himself and not worry about the formalities. So at the ball, Harry and Luna end up having a really fun time, dancing in their own unique way, much to the amusement and envy of some of the other students.
In this fanfiction, they might have a really magical time at the Yule Ball. Maybe they start off a bit awkwardly, as Harry is often shy in such social situations. But Luna's unique charm could put him at ease. They could share a slow dance, and Luna might point out some of the strange and wonderful magical creatures that are part of the ball's decorations to Harry.
At the Yule Ball, they could start by sharing a joke about the overly formal atmosphere. This simple moment of connection can be the start of a deeper relationship. As they dance, they might notice little things about each other, like the way Harry's eyes sparkle in the candlelight or how Luna's hair seems to have a life of its own. This mutual admiration can gradually turn into romantic feelings.
There's also a possibility that it's a new character created specifically for this fanfiction. This new character could bring a fresh perspective and allow the author to explore different aspects of Harry's gentlemanly behavior at the Yule Ball.
Their relationship could develop through shared experiences at the Yule Ball. For example, they might have a really deep conversation while dancing that makes them see each other in a new light.
Perhaps there are some misunderstandings at the start. Fleur might think Harry is just another typical Hogwarts boy, but as the ball progresses, she sees his courage when he stands up to a bully or helps someone in need. Harry, on the other hand, realizes that Fleur is not just a beautiful face but also a strong and intelligent witch. This realization on both sides could lead to a more meaningful relationship development.
