It was the end of another DA meeting, the last one before Christmas and Luna and Neville had left the of the Room of Requirement together and were making their way back to their Common Rooms.
Luna was chatting animatedly about her Christmas holiday and how she was hoping for a pair of spectrespecs. Neville kept nodding along, only half listening as he tried to dry his sweating palms on his robes.
"Oh." He said when they had turned a corner, trying very hard to sound as casual as possible and not like he had chosen this route for this exact reason. "Look." Neville felt the heat rise in his face. "Mistletoe."
"Mistletoe?" Luna looked up, pale lashes framing her dreamy grey eyes. She took a step back. "You should be careful, nargles are known to infest mistletoe you know."
"Oh... er, right. But um-" He took a step towards her, following her, at the same time trying to stay under the mistletoe.
"I thought my necklace would keep them away." She twisted the butterbeer cork necklace around one finger, "They are really mischievous thieves you know."
"Yes, but... there is another-" Neville licked his lips and glanced up, she wasn't under the mistletoe anymore. Would it still count if she wasn't the one standing under it?
"They're always taking my things. I usually get them back, but still-"
"Luna!" He seized her by both shoulders, pulled her under the mistletoe, and kissed her on the mouth.
When the kiss ended Luna opened her eyes slowly. "Oh!" She smiled.
Neville knew his cheeks were bright red. "Ha-Happy Christmas Luna."
She leaned forward and kissed him softly on the lips. "Happy Christmas Neville."
