Luna Lovegood looked out onto the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from her room in Ravenclaw Tower. She was thinking deeply, as usual, and then she smiled surreptitiously.

"Well I guess that I will have to do it tonight." She whispered to herself. She rose from her bed and lightly padded down to the common room and out the door.

"And where are you going Miss?" the Ravenclaw tower guardian asked her, "You do know it is nearly morning, yes?"

"Why yes I do, that is precisely why I am going at this time of night." Luna answered happily. She skipped away as the figurehead watched her confusedly, a true feat for the omniscient statuary. Luna continued walking until she reached the great oak doors of the Entrance Hall. As she stepped out into the cool autumn night she sighed.

"Oh, mother I am sorry you could not be here for this, but I'm sure that a dose of honesty is exactly what the world needs, whether they admit it or not." She approached a copse of trees at the edge of the Black Lake and waited until exactly midnight then carved three symbols in the dirt chanting:

Veritatem per musica
omnipotens
Regina Noctis
Domina Aurora
Virgo mater magistra
libera corda nostra

Suddenly the sinking moon grew to an enormous size and silvery dust swirled up from the glyphs Luna had carved.

"It is done" She intoned quietly. She began to sing. The moon began to sink faster and faster night fading as the song went on.

Every story, tale or memoir
Every saga or romance
Whether true or fabricated
Whether planned or happenstance

Whether sweeping through the ages
Casting centuries aside
Or a hurried brief recital
Just a thirty-minute ride

Whether bright or melancholy
Rough and ready, finely spun
Whether with a thousand players
Or a lonely cast of one

Every story, new or ancient
Bagatelle or work of art
All are tales of human failing
All are tales of love at heart

This is the story
Of a love that flourished
In a time of hate

Of lovers no tragedy could separate
Love set into motion on the British shore
Destiny ignited by a magic score

England saw the mighty hero as its only hope at all
Source of life for all her people
That only England could control
Destruction of long held friendship justified
Harry was exploited, left with little more than pride

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh…

As the final notes rang through the air the sun rose behind Luna burning with an unnatural bright fire.

Harry Potter woke up on the following morning feeling charged yet distant. Almost as if he was waiting for a single moment to release his pent-up energy. He dressed and brushed his teeth quickly before rushing down to the Great Hall.

When he reached it he slowed down and took a seat by his best mates Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. He occasionally joined in on their small talk but spent most of the time watching Hermione.

'Gods, she's beautiful! I only wish that I could be with her,' Harry sighed in his head 'but Ron has already spoken for her and I have to respect his feelings. If only, if only…' Harry sighed again this time aloud, and turned to his plate of food picking at it halfheartedly. Suddenly the feeling within him grew and he sat up. He straightened his back and ran off to find someone. Hermione and Ron tried to call him back but when they reached the Entrance Hall Harry was nowhere in sight.

..::ooO*0O*O0*Ooo::..

Hermione sat in the Charms classroom waiting for Professor Flitwick to come out, when suddenly the sound of music reached the ears of everyone in the classroom. Professor Flitwick walked in conducting a group of floating instruments with his wand. Following behind was the last person she expected to see. Harry! He began to sing:

She stares through my shadow
She sees something more
Believes there's a light in me
She is sure
And her truth makes me stronger
Does she realize
I awake every morning
With her strength by my side

He pulled Hermione up to his side then proceeded to sing while he waltzed her around the classroom spinning her and dipping her in time.

I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am

This world keeps on spinning
Only she stills my heart
She's my inspiration
She's my northern star
I don't count my possession
All I call mine
I will give her completely
To the end of all time

Hermione broke in singing to the same tune a new verse:

You are my own hero
You are my own angel
You're more than a man
Man who's trying to be there
Unlike any other
In my eyes you are

They began to sing in duet to each other:

In your eyes I see the sky and all I'll ever need
In your eyes time passes by and you are with me

They stared at each other and kissed softly during the musical break. Harry finished the song quietly:

Ohhhhhhhh…
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am
In her eyes I am

The music stopped and all of the class held their breath. The girls were crying in happiness and wishing that they had lovers like this, and even the guys were touched, well most of them. Ron looked furious and yelled, "And what the bloody hell was that? I told you Harry that I liked her but no special Harry Potter has to get everything. The glory, the fame, the money, the talent, the power, and now Hermione, but does his sidekick get anything? No! They don't because everyone forgets about poor old Ron Weasley." He stomped up to Harry and punched him solidly in the face.

Harry stumbled back and struck his temple on a desk corner, he crumpled like paper and lay silent, unmoving.
