~YEAR ONE~
As a first year at Hogwarts, Harry learned a lot. One of his first lessons was that not all houses and wizards got along, or were as friendly as the Weasley family he had met at King's Cross Station. He tended to look up to the older Gryffindors, as he still didn't understand much about the wizarding world and he knew they would help him work through his lack of knowledge. Because of this, The-Boy-Who-Lived wasn't very familiar with the Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, or Slytherins. It wasn't too surprising to anyone when he didn't undertand the whispers about a certain girl named Luna Lovegood. She was said to be the daughter of Xenophilius Lovegood, and she would be arriving at Hogwarts the following year.
Harry didn't think much about the gossip; after all, he wasn't going to not accept her if he'd never met her before. He overheard that her father was the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler magazine, which talked about creatures like Nargles and Crumple-Horned Snorkacks. The others seemed to think she was crazy, and they laughed at her for believing in such things. Harry never made fun of her along with them. If somebody had told him a year ago that magic existed and he was a wizard, he would've called them insane. So he sat back as his house-mates continued with their stories and he didn't think of the Lovegood girl any more than necessary.
So, this will be 7-8 chapters long and there will be a new one every day. I already wrote out the first 5, so I won't be late, I promise. (: The first 7 chapters will be about this length, but the eighth will be longer. Trust me, there's a reason for that. (: Thanks for reading! (:
