Luna/Rolf is a canonical pairing in the Harry Potter fandom involving Luna Lovegood and Rolf Scamander.

Canon

Neither the Luna/Rolf relationship nor Rolf Scamander himself were mentioned in the Harry Potter books themselves. The pairing was initially revealed in a web chat interview with J.K. Rowling nine days after the release of Deathly Hallows, when she stated:

"Luna became a very famous wizarding naturalist [...] She ended up marrying (rather later than Harry & co) a fellow naturalist and grandson of the great Newt Scamander (Rolf)!"[1]

In a television documentary that aired five months later, Rowling further explained:

"Luna marries Rolf Scamander, who is the grandson of a great naturalist, so they'd have a very interesting life, globetrotting, looking for weird animals. But I think she'd have twin boys. But later, that would be much later than this lot [the Weasleys and Potters], who all settled down earlier."[2]

In the same interview, Rowling says that the couple's twins boys are named Lorcan and Lysander. Luna, Rolf, and their sons also appear on the Weasley family tree that Rowling posted to her official site around the same time.
