AU where Dean and Luna formed an Art Club at Hogwarts
Luna drew a lot of stuff, and she particularly loved drawing the nature - all kinds of plants and animals and different scenery. Sometimes she’d sit by the lawn beside the great lake to draw and sometimes she’d be just outside the Forbidden Forest.
Dean liked to draw many things, but his specialty was drawing people, sometimes a single person and sometimes a bunch of people playing Quidditch or having a party. Of course, he particularly liked drawing Seamus. (Preferably naked.)
In fact, for quite some time Ron was annoyed to see Seamus naked in their dorm every time he walked in, while Dean sat on his bed, capturing every detail of Seamus’s body.
He eventually got used to it.
Harry, on the other hand, never noticed because he was usually too busy complaining about what Draco Malfoy just did or stalking Draco Malfoy on the Marauder’s Map or simply thinking about Draco Malfoy.
One day Luna saw Dean drawing in the Great Hall and soon they began discussing all kinds of drawing techniques together enthusiastically.
After a while, they started drawing together often and sometimes tried the other one’s specialty. Some other students saw them and got interested, too, and soon they formed a club.
They didn’t just draw on papers, but also started painting and decorating the tables of the Great Hall (McGonagall was annoyed but Dumbledore praised their creativity.)
Cho Chang was also a member of the club and she was very scientific about her drawing, whereas Luna was more free-styled but everyone thought both types looked beautiful.
Justin Finch-Fletchley and Hannah Abbot didn’t draw but they were good with making small sculptures - they made different stuff from the pictures Colin and Dennis Creevey provided, and also a self-made wizarding chess set (Ron loved it).
Lee Jordan and the Weasley twins made creative packages for the prank products they planned to sell.
At first there weren’t any Slytherins in the club, but one day when Luna was drawing the thestrals, she met Theo Nott and Blaise Zabini there. They were very interested to hear about the club.
Theo told Luna that Greg Goyle drew too - he drew comics in the Slytherin common room and he was pretty good at it. Theo also showed Luna a 4-square-comic Greg once drew, it showed the process of Draco Malfoy climbing a tree to impress Harry Potter. Greg gave Theo the comic as a present because apparently he thought he already had too many comic-drawings of Draco talking about Potter.
Theo encouraged Greg to join the club because he knew Greg’s parents always told him he wasn’t good at anything, and Theo thought this would be a good opportunity for Greg to do what he was good at and what he also enjoyed and that his parents were wrong.
Greg was reluctant at first because there were muggleborns in the club, but he eventually got convinced and he soon found out the muggleborns were actually quite nice and not so bad, unlike what his parents always said.
Theo and Blaise also stayed, because Theo got interested in the muggle cameras the Creevey brother brought with them, and Blaise announced that “I think I’m allowed to join because I’m basically a piece of artwork don’t you think?”
Some girls giggled and blushed but Ginny Weasley got annoyed and said aloud, “No.”
Thus began a lengthy few months of Blaise trying to prove to Ginny she was wrong and somehow half an year later they became a piece of artwork together in most people’s eyes.
The Art Club became very famous throughout Hogwarts and most people who didn’t join know about it too, perhaps except for Draco and Harry who continued to focus solely on each other and ignore everything else.
