So this is love?  
There was that distant look on Luna's face as she idly flipped a page from the book in front of her. Every once in a while, when she blinked, she glanced down to see what page she was on. Then her silvery-blue eyes turned to the face they were trying so hard to figure out. The thought of sitting across from him, let alone have him talking to her, had never crossed her mind. Especially when she started working at the Ministry of Magic - she thought he was going to die the first time they ran into each other.

Slightly uncomfortable standing, Luna shifted a little, switching what foot she placed her weight on. Her arms were crossed in front of her body in a defensive manner - not because she feared him, but because she knew that he did not like her around.

I would not call this a friendship but there is something to it.. I am unable to put my finger on it.. I also wonder if he even notices it like I do..

A small smile slid across her face as she thought about the possibility that they could refer to each other as friends.

For a moment, Blaise felt as if a hot liquid had been poured over the shell of his entire body. Even though on the inside it was colder, on the out warmth had struck him so suddenly he would have shivered if he hadn't completely lost contact with every part of his body. He was lost, staring directly in her eyes, now more confounded than ever. For a moment of complete weakness, he put out his hand, reached around her hip, and pulled her closer, and without anymore thought, he leaned forward and kissed her.

He wasn't thinking of much while he did this except for the fact that she smelled very nicely and a part of him wondered why he hadn't done this earlier, but he dared not voice it aloud. After what seemed like forever kissing her (which it was, because now he had both arms around her and they were much closer) he gently let go of her, and regaining his senses, backed away. Not knowing quite what to say, but knowing full well what to do, he turned on his heel and walked away from her, turning the aisle to walk out of the library as quickly as he could, with the taste of her lips still lingering on his. He would never tell a soul he thought, but he spent a bit licking his lips just to think about it again, but he would be lying to himself for a long enough time that nothing of the sort happened, and he was only trying to get the taste out of his mouth, but it was quite the contrary.

When he looked into her eyes, Luna was shocked. Sure, he pretended to be making eye contact but it was never as intense was it was that moment. She could almost feel her cheeks burning if it were not for the fact that she could control her facial expressions well. All of that was useless when he reached his arm out and wrapped it around her waist. Luna's large eyes widened even more as her heart stopped in her chest. As his lips pressed against hers, a gasp managed to come out.

She couldn't believe how warm he felt and how nice it was to have her arms wrapped around him. She had embraced people in a hug before, but nothing like this. Without thinking Luna leaned into him, deepening the kiss slightly trying to curb the hunger for more, but it only fed the fire. Her eyes were closed when he pulled away and quickly opened to watch him turn away from her and start leaving. A panicked look came across her face.

Did I.. do something wrong?

Luna couldn't believe the ache that was in her chest as she watched him. Grabbing her book bag, she started to pursue him, but stopped when her papers and books went flying all over (due to her slinging the bag on and not paying attention). Looking from the papers and back at Blaise, she was torn between running after him and picking up her work. Eventually, she knelt down to pick them up quickly and raced out the door.
