Future AU - Rowan and Luna in 2020 (Part 1)
Writing about Luna and Rowan was always my favorite part of the headcanon and now that I quit (at least for now) the game, I no longer have any reason to hold myself back from thinking about Future AU scenarios for these two.
(I didn’t mean to make Rowan such a snack, but… it is what it is.)
The year is 2020 (thank you title for revealing it already), it’s around February-March, Luna is 46 and Rowan is 47.

“Doctor Silver, there’s someone here to see you.”
Luna thanked the nurse and went toward the oddly dressed man. He was two meters tall with a top hat that added at least 10 cm to his height, he wore a Hawaiian shirt with a yellow cardigan on top, baggy three quarter pants with black tights underneath and flowery pink shoes.
He straightened up his glasses and gave her a warm smile when he saw her heading his way.
“What are you doing here?” she dragged him to the side and gave him an annoyed look.
“Careful, my back.” He said and rubbed the muscles of his lower back.
“And what, in the name of god, are you wearing?” she ignored him and gestured at the unfitting combination of clothes.
“What, no good?” he was surprised. “My students told me top hats are all the rage.”
“Rowan.” She tried to remain calm. “Why are you here, mate?”
“This is a nice hospital-“
“I’m glad to see you too, Rowan.” He did a bad imitation of her voice. “It’s been so long, how are you doing?”
“I’m working.” Luna reminded him.
“But you were taking a little tea break, weren’t you?”
“I had a three minutes break!” she said defensively. “I’ve been on call for 38 hours now, I think I deserve a bloody break.”
“38 hours?” he raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you the chief physician?”
“We’re short on stuff these days.” She said. “So I took the load off my colleagues, since I can manage with little to no sleep.”
“Are you sure?” he looked at the bags under her eyes.
“Well, since you’re fine and also on a break,“ he gave her a teasing smile when she sighed. “How about a chat?”
“Aren’t you supposed to be at Hogwarts? It’s the middle of the school year.”
“Yes, but it’s also Saturday.”
“It is?” she looked exhausted when she checked her watch. “But I’ve been here since Tuesday.”
“Wow, you are tired, aren’t you?” he gave her a concerned look. “I don’t think I have ever seen you tired before.”
“What do you want, Rowan?!” she snapped at him, then immediately added- “Sorry about that.”
“I was wondering, this whole COVID-19-“
“Oh my god.” Luna rubbed her temples. “Are you seriously still hung up on that?”
“It’s just that you never explained exactly what it is and-“
“Rowan, read the fucking paper! This can’t be the only reason you’re here.”
“Well,” he gave her a guilty look. “There might be something else. You see-“
But before he finished the sentence, Luna was called back to the ER.
“I have to go, we’ll talk about it later.” She said and hurried down the corridor without saying goodbye.
“When? When are you done?” he called after her, but she disappeared behind the ER doors. “Yep, let’s talk later, shall we?” he murmured to himself and sat back on the bench next to the reception.
