Is anyone else curious about this?

Hullo, by the way -- I'm new to the board, long time Harry Potter fanatic.

I think it would be cute to see them after Hogwarts, to even see their children. Since I've been messing around with a 'New Era' idea for some time. (Including H/Hr & D/G kiddies too!). And I've come asking for opinions/ideas/thoughts. . . .or if there is anything somebody would like to see dealing with R/Lu Post-Hogwarts. . . . .I'd gladly write something about it.

I can picture Ron working for the Ministry of Magic. Like his daddy~ or perhaps travel about with the missus (^_~) I don't know, Luna just strikes me as that 'seeing the world' type. Or perhaps taking over The Quibbler after her dad!


Anyway, fire away guys!

Wow. A good, interesting topic.

- First, welcome to the boards. *glomps*

R/Lu post-hogwarts sounds interesting, in fact, I'm even writing a post-hogwarts fic.

I wonder what they'll be like as a married couple - you know? Newly weds -- OOOH! And what kind of wedding would they have? Luna's pretty out there...so...hehe.

I can definitely see her wanting to go off places after Hogwarts. I'm not sure about Ron though - he's hard.

Hehe. i can definetly see Luna wanting to travel the world and wanting to go on exciting expeditions and then have Ron saying no! I'm not going! lOl
ooooooo, and then when she finally convinces him to go somewhere with her. and it turns out to be like a hiking trip up a tal mountain and then you see Ron cowarding and Luna's just smiling. lol

I imagine Ron and Luna's relationship would be hot and passionate. And their kids will be weird like Luna with Ron's sense of humor and red hair.

Hmm... quite a topic, I must say!

Welcome to Portkey, I hope you savor these discussions, and encountering new individuals!

Anyway, I can picture Ron an Auror, not sure if he's that brave... but I believe his character will eventually develope to quite a man.

As for Luna, she's definitely Quibbler material, you know what! I think she is pretty sincere and truthful even if she is a delirious nympholept. She'll report real facts, and that's 100% satisfaction (I hope) to the wizarding world.

hot and passionate? Heh, I don't know if I'd describe their relationship like that. I've always thought it would be...quirky and loving. You can tell with Luna that nothing is going to be quite as ordinary as Ron may like, but he'd love Luna despite her quirkiness - in fact, that would probably even be one of the reasons that he would fall in love with her.

I would imagine them having lots of children. One - because Ron's a Weasley and that would just be the...uh...natural thing for them to do. And TWO! - Because...well, just because I think they would. Maybe four children? Yes, I think that might be how many they'd have.

Luna working at The Quibbler would make sense because her father is the editor - but you never know. I have no idea what I think Ron would be. heh.

Oh my, oh my. . .LMAO !! Me, too.

Thanks for the welcomes! I'm happy to be here. People are actually replying! Joy!

Hot and passionate, too? LOL That's funny. I imagine that they'd have a very... active relationship, yeah.

Anyone have any idea what names Ron & Luna would give their kids?

The kid's names would be very, hem hem, out there. I can't exactly think of any right now, and I don't exactly know anybody with a weird name. (The most creative name my family has come up with is Emma-Lee (pronounced "Emily". Hardy har-har. ) Anybody got any ideas?

What I came up with for my fanfiction are: Raine, Marguerite, Adam-Harry, Malcolm, Lune-Selene, & Siobhan.

Like? Any more ideas?

Um ..... I think she mite choose names forme different cultures like ..sakura..Chi ...javier. she seems like someone who is different.

I am so for the Luna wanting to travel the world thing. I am also kind of see her doing it while working the Quibbler. And of course the whole relationship does have to be a little out there because that is how Luna is pictured by many.

But here is a good question???? How would the kids of this *HAPPY* couple be? I would want to see post-hogwarts on this couple.

yup i think Luna will be a quibbler correspondent if not the editor in chief and Ron would be a quiddicth player.... and they would be going around the world....

Hmm, post-Hogwart's R/Lu... yummy. I see their relationship as "quirky and loving" also, as MalfoyMyFerret said. And I've said something about them having buckets of children also. The Weasley's do seem to be a very... fertile bunch.

So yes, loads of children. Names? Eh, I don't know. That's a toughy.

Yeah, she would absolutely choose a name from another culture, or at least a very odd name that none has ever heard off. But then again if Ron had anything to say on the matter they would probably get more common names.

(This is the first time I experienced discussing post-Hogwarts couples without wanting to throw up.)

I was thinking of doing a post-Hogwarts fic where I would make Ron coach or manager for the Chudley Canons (some people suggest a player, but I don't think this would be his strong point) and Luna would either take over for the Quibbler or own her own business (not sure what). They would travel often and probably have 4 or 5 kids - at least one set of twins, probably girls, who I've named Pearl and Ruby - but they are fraternal twins. Ruby has blond hair and Pearl had red hair. HA! Luna would do something crazy like naming her kids that way.

I'd think Luna would just be writing for the Quibbler (and other publications), it is the family bussiness, but I don't think we've had any indication that she's an only child (then again, there isn't any evidence to the contrary) Her father would probably still be alive and welll, thus able to keep running the Quibbler as editor.

I see Luna doing a non-conformist job. Something without regular work hours. A freelance writer of "wierd stuff" as they say. Probably ready to drag her family on investigations all over the place.

Ron... I'm bit of a blank. I could see him working for the ministry, if they get better at their job and all that corruption is cleaned up... maybe a Quidditch player, but I don't really see him as phenomenal at the sport. He might help Fred and George out with the WWW?

I always thought the two of them as more of a "post-Hogwarts" couple just because Ron seems the need to mature a bit until he can appreciate Luna's character.
Luna is definitetly the world-traveler type. I don't see her setling for a Quibbler journalist career right after Hogwarts.
Ron is kinda hard. We don't get told much of his talents and interests besides chess and the Chudley Cannons. But I feel Ron will prove his value when he has found out who he is and what to do. And I'll be there and cheer.

@Weatherby
Loved your "throw up" comment. That made my day (Sad, but true).

MOD NOTE: This post came from the "Marriage?" thread, so I merged it with this one, in order to prevent any confusion. Plus it was similar, as far as subject goes. - Nitya/S.D., 3rd Feb. 2004

Ron and Luna always occured me as really "modern" people, well, relatively. Ron decidedly seems to be the sort unwilling to commit and Luna's offbeat tendencies seem to place her in a possition not to mind a lot. I don't see them in the frame of the "traditional" couple.

Don't know.

So, what do you think?

Would they get married? Eventually? Quite quickly? Just live together?

I do have this image of Dharma's Parents from Dharma & Greg when it comes to Ron & Luna being married. I don't somehow see Ron wanting to commit though he might not want any other woman , it's just that, I don't think he would WANT his option being taken away like that. Also , Luna for some reason doesn't seem like want to get married. I don't have any proof from the canon to base these assumptions on, but I feel them from reading the characters.

I do wholeheartedly agree with Jetso that they aren't a traditional couple. Anyone have any names for alternatives to marrigaes that they might engage in ?

If they can get tax reductions, they might register... sorry, does that make them sound a little too mercenary? I'd prefer the word... ummm... thrifty...

I sometimes see Luna dabbling in Oriental religions - Buddism, perhaps, or Zen or some branch of yoga. I could see her meditating, cross-legged and all. Maybe she'd talk Ron into a ceremony in those terms... Would make a good ficlet, if for no reason other than comic value.

LoL - I do think it's getting more and more relaxed now a days. Especially with countries getting to the point of allowing the DeFacto couples to have the same status as the married couples after about 6 months.

I do wonder how long it will take for Ron to mature and be able to put up with the teasing he might get for liking Luna. This is one aspect that isn't really done in any R/L fics I've read. Sometimes I think that it might not last between Luna and Ron - simply because the peer pressure might be too much for him. But then again, he can get more mature. She can get less odd, AND the school's students might not be THAT hard on him. Also sometimes I wonder if Luna's liking for Ron might be only a passing thing. Though I do not see her as someone who takes up an interest and drops it soon after and then moves on another, and then reapets the pattern at ad nauseaum , I wonder if she could be.

I do think a Ron / Luna relationship - the courtship would be absolutely funny to witness, and probably something that would be great to witness. If they were to have children together, who do you think would be the more adult one ? You know the one that set the rules down ?
