After the battle of Hogwarts, Hermione is left feeling aimless and empty and she's not sure why. These are her thoughts on the matter as she, with a bit of help, comes to terms with her feelings.

Luna has always been in love with Hermione, Ginny as her best friend is aware of this. Hermione wanted to focus on her studies, so she decided not to date Ron, as they wanted different things in life it probably wouldn't have worked anyway. After the war Luna realized, like many, that life is too short, and so she decided to make her feelings known.
