What Happened

Though the world of Harry Potter fan-fiction has a rather strong strain of Neville/Luna slash stories, the pair never actually got together in the books. Sure, they shared a post-battle moment in the film's Battle of Hogwarts finale, but Luna would go on to become a famous wizarding naturalist and marry Rolf Scamander.

What Could Have Been

JK Rowling has conceded that she felt Neville and Luna pulled together as per her CBBC interview), even though she never initially had any intention to have them coupled off. She was quite adamant about that as she was writing, but as she wrote more, their potential romance insisted.

Still, she decided that the pairing "felt too neat" and ultimately ruled it out.
