What To Do Now?: Read on, my lovelies :)


I find skipping quite fun. It especially helps if you need to get somewhere quickly. Like I do now. This little year 2 girl from Hufflepuff gave me a note from Professor Dumbledore:

Dearest Luna,

You have a special guest in my office at the moment and I suggest that you hurry up here as quickly as you can

Please hurry. I have already excused you from you lessons for the day.

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

P.s. I quite enjoy Sugar Quills

I wonder who it is. Maybe it's someone who is interested about the Nargles or Daddy's famous plum stew. That stuff really is good

"Luna! Hi!" I heard Harry say. I waved to him and made my way over. He was also at Professor Dumbledore's office

"Hello Harry. Why are you here?" I asked him

"Dumbledore wants to speak to me. Why are you here?"

"The professor wishes to speak to me as well" I told him, he smiled at me, I turned to the Gargoyle

"Sugar Quills" I stated and the statue jumped out of the way to reveal a stair case. Harry and I climbed the stairs and reached a door. Harry knocked on the door and Professor Dumbledore told us to come in. We came in and sat down at the two chair in front of the desk

"Hello Harry, Luna"

"Hello Professor" Harry and I said

"Do you know why your here?" He asked, Harry shook his head while I answered

"You said that someone was here to visit me. Is this same person here to see Harry as well?"

"Yes, Luna. Although, technically their not here but in that pensive over there" He pointed behind us to a pensive. Professor Dumbledore stood up and made his way to the pensive and stood next to it. Harry and I got up and also stood next to it. In the pensive, there were three boys who were in Slytherin and one girl who looked like one of the boys who was in Gryffindor

"Do you know about Tom Riddle, Luna?" He asked me. I shook my head, I have no idea who that is

"Well, Harry does. Tom Riddle is the real name of Lord Voldemort" I nodded my head in understandment

"Why am I here?" I asked

"Because. Back in when Voldemort was in year 6, he had a girlfriend" He pointed to the girl "Do you know what her name might have been?" I shook my head. Why would I know that?

"Her name was Luna Lovegood" I gasped and grasped Harry's arm

"I have a theory that the girl was you, Luna. Voldemort's best "friend" was named Harry Lovegood" He then pointed to the boy who looked like the girl "Who was Luna's twin brother" Harry and I nodded our heads, but we were both confused

"So, therefore, for a year, you two are going to go back in time to when Voldemort is starting his sixth year of Hogwarts. This port key" He held up a hair brush "Will take you back to 1945 and you will land you at kings cross station, the time will be 10:30am. You are to go and pack what you might need and meet back here in half an hour" Harry and I bid our goodbyes and made our way out and down the stairs.

When we reached the great hall, where everyone was eating breakfast, Harry suggested that we told everyone where we were going, I agreed and we made our way to the Gryffindor table. We told Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Neville where we were going, they wished us good luck and we made our way to our house common rooms. When I got to my room and started to pack, Cho Chang, a year 7 girl came up to me.

"Why are you packing, Loony?" She never liked me for some reason

"I'm going somewhere, why?" I asked her politely. She may not like me but that's no reason to be rude to someone

"Who are you going with?"

"Harry, but we'll be back soon" She scolded at me, giving me a dirty look

"Why are you going with Potter? He hates you"

"Harry doesn't hate me. He's my friend" I told her as I finished packing and made my way down to the common room. Cho followed me and blocked my way through the portrait hole

"You wish he were your friend. But I know that he hates your guts"

"Yeah, if he hates my guts, then he would want to burn yours and send them straight to hell. Goodbye, Cho" I stepped around her and made my way to Professor Dumbledore's office. When I got there, Harry had already arrived. We smiled at each other, Harry said the password and we made our way up to the professors office. We sat down in the chairs again

"Okay, while you are there, I want you two to get some information about Voldemort. As much as you can pack into your brains. You will send me 2 reports a month and the way to do that is just to call on Forks, okay?" Harry and I nodded as we got up and made our way to the hair brush

"Before you go, I need to make some changes on your appearance, because you both look a lot like your grandparents" Dumbledore casted a few spells to change our appearance. Harry now has light brown hair that sits at his shoulders, is a little taller and doesn't have a scar. My hair has darkened a bit, so it's a few shades different to Harry's and now I'm about a head shorter than Harry

"I also need to give you these" Dumbledore handed us little vials with some sort of red potion in them "This potion will make you two more alike. So, Luna, after you drink this potion, you will be able to speak parseltounge and Harry will be as smart as a Ravenclaw" We nodded our heads and slipped the potion into our pockets

"Okay, one last touch. These are contacts" He held out a few white boxes and handed them to Harry and I "They change your eye colour, I also made them so Harry doesn't have to wear his glasses. One more thing, they last a month, so, every month, you have to change them. An easy way to remember to change them is that when you get there, it will be a full moon so just change them every full moon... That's it then, I'll see you tomorrow, well, one year" Harry and I grabbed the port key and Dumbledore's office disappeared as we made our way back in time.


1945 - September 1st

Harry and I landed in muggle London, I looked up at the big clock 10:30 we have half an hour to board the train... Fun!

"C'mon, Luna!" Harry said, tugging at my sleeve. I followed him through the gate way to the magical world.

It's not really that different... Harry put his owl into the Owl thingy and we made our way into the train and sat down into the compartment and slipped the contacts in

"What are we going to say to get Voldemort's attention?" Harry asked after he put his in. His is Brown, mine are Green

"Maybe we could talk about Horcrux's? Isn't he interested in them?" I said as I drunk the potion. Harry drunk his as well

"That's a good Idea Luna!" Harry smiled and peaked out of the compartment "Okay. He's coming!"

"Okay!" I whispered then said louder "Horcrux's, Harry? Surely there's gotta be a better way to stay immortal!" He gave me the thumbs up before replying

"But, Luna! It's IS the best way to be immortal! I mean, you can die, but stay alive at the same time! How cool would that be?!"

"But, you DO know how painful it would be? You would have to split your soul! SPLIT IT! And your thinking of doing it 5 times! God, Harry!" I noticed, out of the corner of my eye, a boy was listening in on our conversation, I noticed that Harry had seen as well

"HAY! It would be great! You know you want to!"

"Of course I want to, Harry, but there has to be a safer option... WAIT!" I held my hand up. I took my wand out and pointed it at the compartment door, slamming it open. There was a very handsome boy standing there, I'm guessing this is Voldemort and judging by the look on Harry's face, I am right

"Why are you eavesdropping, Tom?" I asked him

"How do you know my name?" He retorted, reaching for his wand, I disarmed him using a non-verbal spell (Hermione taught me) expelliarmus and his wand came flying out of his pocket and into my hand, I smiled sweetly at him

"I have my sources. Now, please, instead of eavesdropping, come in and sit down, we'll all talk about it" He made his way slowly into the compartment and sat next to Harry. Harry stiffened a bit but was too afraid to move. Voldemort had realized this and gave him a questioning look, but also a smug one. I had to think of a story to cover that up. THINK, Luna! Think!... Okay! Got it!

"Relax, Harry darling! This isn't the man who did you-know-what... His name was Victor... Remember?" Harry gave a weird look then understood what I was doing and nodded his head

"Yes, I remember, Luna. Thanks" Harry said as he loosened up

"What are you talking about? Who is Victor" Asked Voldemort

"Well, Tom. This man, Victor, he killed our parents during the summer" I said

"Why would he do that?"

"I don't know, apparently Harry and I have some sort of really cool powers and our parents wouldn't hand us over to the minister so they were killed, but Victor couldn't get us because Dumbledore arrived just in time and saved us" I told him. Harry gave me an approving smile

"What sort of powers do you guys have?" He asks a lot of questions, doesn't he? God!

"Well, Harry is a seer, sort of, like, he can't see everything just bad things. And I can see certain people's past" I told him. His eyes flashed red for a second before going back to the warm brown that they were

"That's pretty cool" Voldemort said

"Yeah... Anyway, back to what we were talking about before. Harry! You know you have to kill people to make a Horcrux, right?"

"Yes! I know that! We'll just kill a werewolf or something, their human, technically"

"Yeah, but Harry! Werewolves are kind creatures! Would you really have the guts to kill one?" I made it sound like I was talking about professor Lupin, Harry immediately got a bit sad as I said that

"Okay! That's not fair, Luna! I would never even dream of hurting uncle Romulus!" Romulus. In greek mythology Romulus was Remus' twin brother. Smart, Harry

"But your willing to kill other werewolves! Why not Romulus! He's a werewolf! Why don't you kill him!" I yelled and made tears form in my eyes. My acting skills are pretty good. Well, I think they are anyway

"I WOULD NEVER KILL ROMULUS!!! HE'S LIKE A FATHER TO US! REMEMBER?!" He was yelling back

"I BET YOU WOULD KILL HIM ANYWAY! YOU HATE WEREWOLVES! DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN JOHNNY WAS TURNED INTO ONE AND YOU TOTALLY HATED HIM AFTER THAT?! YOUR SUCH A HIPPOGRIFF HARRY!" Voldemort came over to my side and pulled me into a hug... What the hell?

"Tom?" I asked "What are you doing?" He immediately let go of me and looked at me nervously

"You looked like you needed a hug" I smiled at him and grasped his hand

"LUNA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! HOLDING HANDS WITH HIM" He pointed a finger at Voldemort as he let go of my hand

"Harry! I want you to go to the bathroom and calm down" He shook his head. I stood up and pushed him out of the compartment "NOW!" He mouthed nice and walked away. I sat back down next to Voldemort and rested my head against his shoulder... This feels akward

"Sorry about that, Tom. Ever since our parents death he's been a little emotional"

"I understand completely" I looked at him and smiled. He is really good looking for someone so evil

"I don't think you do, Tom. You don't have any siblings"

"Yeah, I know. But I can see why he would be upset. My mother died when I was born and my father died this summer"

"Don't worry, Thomas. I'm not going to tell anyone that you killed him" He looked at me shocked. I smiled at him again

"H-h-how do you know th-that?" He tripped over his words. So cute!

"Special ability, remember? But it's okay, I'm not going to tell anyone" I then remembered that I was still holding his wand so I handed it back to him and he put it in his pocket

"Why not? I KILLED someone! You should be telling everyone!"

"Do you WANT me to tell people?" I asked him

"No, not really"

"Then why are you complaining?" He smiled a bit. It makes him look incredibly hot when he smiles... Stupid Voldemort!

"I'm not complaining, it's just any normal person would be telling people" I laughed, as in a full on, maniac laugh. Throwing my head back and holding my stomach

After I finished my laughing I said "You really think I'm normal Tom? Normal and Luna Lovegood do not mix" I started to laugh again and this time, Voldemort joined in. Harry came back into the compartment and Voldemort immediately stopped laughing. I stopped also

"Hello Harry James" I said, nodding my head in his direction

"Hello Luna Emily " I smiled at him and turned to Voldemort

"And hello Thomas Marvolo" He smiled at me and swung his arm around my shoulders. Harry's fists clenched in anger

"Harry, dear. Chill, Tom's not going to kill me, are you, Tom?" I asked him. Voldemort shook his head and Harry calmed down a bit

"Yeah, I only kill normal people" We both laughed and Harry looked at us weirdly

"Don't worry, Mr. Lovegood, just an inside joke" Voldemort told Harry

"It's Harry, Riddle!" Snapped Harry... Dude, chill!

"Fine! Well Harry, it's Tom, not Riddle" Harry smiled a bit

"You should be our friend, Tom" I told him. Now we can get some information out of him

"Yeah, Tom. Be our buddy" Harry said sarcastically while giving me a disgusted look

"I don't know... My other friends might not approve of you" He frowned a bit

"Do you care what they think?" He shook his head "Then who cares?" He smiled and got up

"I'll go and get them. They would hate to meet you" He laughed a bit and left

"Harry! We need to be his friend to get information out of him! That's why we're here!" I angrily whispered to Harry

"I know that, Luna! It's just... He killed my parents!" He said back

"Harry" I said softly "I know you miss them and want to get revenge, but if you kill him now, you might not be born"

"Why wouldn't I be born?" He asked

"It's the principle of the thing" I told him. Harry looked at me confused but before he could answer me, Voldemort came back with a few of his 'friends' as he says

"Hello Tom" I said as I got up and hugged him, he hugged me back and sat next to me. A guy with platinum blond hair sat next to Harry and a woman with black hair sat next to the blond guy and a guy with dark hair sat next to Voldemort

"Hello Luna, Harry. Let me introduce my friends. Next to me is Orion Black of the Black family" "A very powerful family" He whispered to me. I saw Harry looking at him admirably. Probably because of Sirius Black, he only died a few months ago

"And the girl next to you, Harry, is his girlfriend, Walice Johnston of the Johnston family (Sorry... I can't remember what Sirius' mothers name was) and the guy next to you is Marcus Malfoy of the Malfoys" They all nodded stiffly

"Tom, why are we here?" Walice asked

"Because, Walice, I want you to meet my new friends." He smiled while swinging his arm around my waist "This is Luna Lovegood and that's her brother, Harry" He said

"How old are you?" Asked Malfoy

"We're 15, turning 16 soon" Harry said, shooting him an evil look

"So your in sixth year?" Walice asked

"Yeah. But we're new this year" I told them

"Why didn't you come earlier? Didn't you get your letter?" Asked Orion... They ask SO many questions

"We did get our letter but we were home-schooled until now" Walice opened her mouth to speak but Harry interrupted her

"Our parents were killed during the summer" Malfoy patted Harry on the back and Voldemort tightened his grip on my waist. It wasn't too uncomfortable, but it was a bit awkward. It's like having your worst enemy giving you a hug and then telling you that they love you... Really weird but nice at the same time

"I'm so sorry to hear" Orion said and Walice scoffed

"Who cares? I can't wait for my old bat of a mother to drop dead" Harry and I looked at her shocked

"We care! We loved our parents and now their DEAD!" Harry yelled at her

"Anyway" Voldemort said "What house do you think you'll be in?" He asked

"I think I'll be in Slytherin... Best house there is, right?" Harry said

"Good boy" Walice said, patting him on the head

"What about you, girl?" Malfoy asked meanly

"I think I'll be in either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor" I told them, all of them, except for Harry and Voldemort, looked disgusted at me. Voldemort whispered in my ear "Don't worry about them, their just pure-blood snobs" I smiled at him

"I think you'll do great in either of them, Luna" Harry said and I smiled at him.

The other three, Malfoy, Black and Johnston, left the compartment after voicing their disapproval of 'Toms new friends'. The rest of the trip mainly revolved around Horcrux's and dark magic and stuff. A while later, Harry and I went to go get changed and we came back to see Tom talking to Orion Black. We sat down with them and talked about school for the rest of the time. We eventually arrived at Hogwarts. We got our luggage and Harry got his owl then we went to the carriages that take you to Hogwarts. I gave the Threstrals some meat and boarded the carriage with Harry, Voldemort and Orion.

When we arrived into the castle, we went up to the Gargoyle that guarded Professor Dumbledore's office

"Sugar Quills" I said but the Gargoyle didn't move... Umm

"Licorice Snippers?" No "Pumpkin Pastels?" No "Blood lollies?" No "Damn! What's the password?!" I yelled at the Gargoyle, it didn't do anything

"The password is Full Moon"Said a voice from behind us. Harry and I turned around to see Professor Dumbledore

"Headmaster! Just the person we needed to talk to!" Harry yelled. Dumbledore gave Harry a questioning look

"I don't know what your talking about, young man. I'm not the headmaster, that would be Professor Dippet, I am the Transfiguration teacher" He's not the head master? Weird...

"Oh, okay, well, we need to talk to you anyways, professor Dumbledore" Harry said, Dumbledore nodded his head and lead us to his classroom. He asked us to sit down at the two chairs in front of his desk, we did just that, looking around the room as we did so. It looks nothing like professor McGonagall's classroom

"What did you want to talk about, children?" He asked

"Well, you see professor, we're from the future. You are the headmaster from our time and you sent us here on a mission" Harry said

"Okay, what are your names?"

"This is Harry Potter and I'm Luna Lovegood" I said

"Hmm... Harry, you look a lot like your father, Andrew and Luna, your father Jenox and yourself look similar"

"I'm sorry professor. We are from a little further than that"

"How much further?"

"Andrew is Harry's grandfather and my father probably hasn't even been thought of yet" Dumbledore looked at me in amazement

"What year are you from?" He asked

"1996" Harry said

"Dear Merlin! That's pretty far, why did I ask you to come this far back for?"

"Well, you wanted us to get information on Voldemort. He is wrecking havoc everywhere and Harry is the only one who can kill him" I said

"Who is Voldemort?"

"Tom Riddle" Harry said with disgust

"Hmm... I always thought that there was something fishy going on with that boy" He said calmly "I am also thinking that you don't really look like you do now?" We (Harry and I) nodded our heads "Can I see what you really look like?"

I took a picture of Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville and myself out of my pocket and gave it to him and pointed out who Harry and I were

"Excellent! But we're going to have to at least change your names. If someone were to know you from the future... This could not work out very well"

"We're both going to take Luna's last name, and we're pretending to be twins, born on the 1st of December. So we're Harry and Luna Lovegood." Harry said

"Good, good! Now we need to get you sorted, come along" Harry and I followed Dumbledore out of his classroom and into the great hall, where everyone was waiting for the new students to be sorted. I looked around at the Slytherin table and saw Tom and Orion waving at us, Harry and I waved back as Dumbledore came up to us and led us up to the chair where the hat is

"Good evening, students! Now, we have two new students this year who will be entering their sixth year this year and they will be sorted before the first years will. So, please be quiet as the sorting ceremony begins!" Everyone clapped as Harry went to sit down on the stool...

"SLYTHERIN!" The hat yelled. Harry hopped off the stool, gave me a hug and went to sit next to Orion, they were congratulating him as he sat down, I made my way to the stool but I was stopped by a hand grabbing my arm, I turned around and Voldemort was there, he pulled me closer and gave me a hug

"Good luck, Luna" He whispered before letting me go and running back to his table. Confusing much? Was he hitting on me? Like when he put his arm around my waist, does he like me like that? That would be SO weird if he did... He's like, 43 years older than me... Technically. I sat down on the stool and Dumbledore placed the hat on my head

"Hello Luna" Hello, Mr. Hat

"Last time, I placed you in Ravenclaw, but now I'm having second thoughts about that" What do you mean Last time? You placed me, like, a few decades into the future!

"True, but I remember everyone I have placed, no matter if it's in the future or in the past" Oh, okay then

"I'm thinking of putting you into Gryffindor, for your bravery in the Department Of Mysteries last year" Yeah, that was fun, sad as well, Sirius died, and he was the person we were saving! Gah!

"Yes... How unfortunate for that to happen. Now, Luna! I want you to tell NO ONE that you are from the future! Not even Mr. Riddle, okay?" Oh, please! Voldemort is the reason why Harry and I are HERE

"Well, just bear in mind what I said" "GRYFFINDOR" The hat yelled. I took off the hat and sat down next to this boy who looked a lot like Harry

"Hello" He said "My name is Potter, Andrew Potter" I laughed

"And my name is Bond, James Bond. 007, License to kill" Hehe...

"James Bond? Isn't he that secret agent in that muggle movie?" He asked

"Yes" I laughed "It is! My name is Luna Lovegood. My brother, Harry, was put into Slytherin"

"Ew... Slytherin! You don't want to go anywhere near those snakes" He sent a disgusted look to the Slytherin table

"Excuse me! My brother is a cool snake, thank you!" He laughed at me and patted my shoulder

"Okay, you can be friendly with your brother but no one else, their evil"

"Why? Orion Black seems nice" Andrew looked shocked as all hell when I said that "What?"

"Sorry, the Black's and the Potter's have been enemies for YEARS"

"Well. That will be all over when you have a child" I told him

"What do you mean?"

"Well, my brother, he's a seer, you see, and he saw that your son, James Potter will be best friends with Orion's oldest son, Sirius Black, along with Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew" I said

"Remus Lupin? His father wouldn't be John Lupin? In Ravenclaw?" I told him that that was a probability, seeing as how Professor Lupin was really smart. By then, all the first years had been sorted and the food had arrived. I found some chocolate cake and put a slice onto my plate and dug in

"Chocolate cake? Why?" Asked Andrew

"Because I'm hungry, that's why!"

"Why don't you have some Chicken or something? More healthier" I snorted.

"Nah, I prefer Dessert for dinner instead of dinner for dinner, you see" He nodded his head. "Excuse me, I have to see my brother" I got up and made my way to the Slytherin table where Harry, Orion and Voldemort were. I sat myself next to Voldemort, opposite Harry and Orion

"Howdy, lads!"

"Hello, Luna" They all said at the same time, then laughed. Voldemort grabbed my hand and held it, looking into my eyes. He's really good looking

"Hello little Luna" He whispered. I shivered slightly by the sound of his husky voice. It's really attractive... I shouldn't be feeling like this! He's 4 decades older than me! Even if we're both 16... He's LORD VOLDEMORT! I can't like him like that! It's wrong

"Hi Tim-man Tom" He smiled at me

"Tin-man Tom?" Harry asked

"Well, you know the Wizard Of Oz?" He nodded his head "And you know the Tin man?" He nodded again "Well, he's my favourite character in the movie, so yeah" I kissed Voldemort on the cheek "Isn't he adorable, Harry? I mean, look at him! He's bloody hot!"

"Uhh... Sorry dude but no, Luna, I don't particularly think that Tom is adorable" Harry and Orion laughed

"Well, I do! There must be something wrong with you, Harry. We'll get your eyes checked soon" I noticed that Voldemort's cheeks had turned a deep scarlet as I laughed along with Harry and Orion. Walice then came near us, she sat down on Voldemort's other side with a furious look on her face

"Orion, sweetie... Why are you eating with the blood traitor and not with me?" She asked, staring daggers at me

"I'm sorry, dear. I have no idea what your talking about. I see no blood traitors here" He said calmly


Tom POV:

I watched as the new kids walked away to the Headmasters office. I sighed. I have made friends... Great! (Note the sarcasm) The boy, Harry, seems to not like me very much and the girl, Luna, well, she seemed to be okay with me, but she knows that I killed my muggle father and my grandparents... Will she tell anyone? Of course not! God! Sometimes I hate my conscious, it's bloody annoying and it never leaves me alone. Luna is incredibly pretty, you know, she just has that kindness about her, and it's drawing me to her... She's going to kill me one day...

"Yo, Tom... You okay, mate?" Orion's voice broke me out of my concentration. I turned to him and snarled

"I am not your mate, Black! And I'm fine, thanks" He backed up a bit, raising his hands for protection

"Sorry, my Lord!" He said as he dropped his hands to his side and walked up to me "But I've been your only friend for years and it's not my fault that I find it weird that your drooling over some girl you've just met" I smiled slightly at him.
No matter what that old fool, Dumbledore, thinks, I do have a friend, thanks! Even if it's the annoying Orion Black. He's the only person who hasn't been following me around mindlessly, he always laughs when someone follows my command and then he whispers to me "You got them WHIPPED mate!" Thinks he's so funny, doesn't he?! I just hope that when I become Lord Voldemort and take over the world, he won't become a follower and just get away from here so he doesn't die. I would hate it if my best friend got killed because of me, no matter how bloody annoying he is.

"We should get to the Great Hall, the sorting ceremony is going to start soon" I said, Orion nodded his head and we walked silently towards the Slytherin table and sat down at our seats.
Some of my 'followers' tried to sit next to me but I told them that I was reserving the seat for someone else. Orion smirked at me when I turned down a date from Julian Malfoy, she was Marcus Malfoy's younger sister and probably the hottest girl in the Slytherin gang, everyone she asked out said yes, so it was no surprise to me when she burst into tears and ran out of the hall.

"Why are you looking at me like that?! It's not my fault Malfoy's upset, is it?" I snarled at him

"Because, dude! If this way, like, last year or something, you would have said yes, so why'd you say no?" He burst into laughing. My anger soared through the roof. How DARE he laugh at me?! As soon as my anger came, it disappeared. He has a point... Why did I say no? This is a weird day

"Oi! Shut it, Black! I don't know why I said no, okay?" He stopped laughing and gave me a look... Is that pity in his eyes? Does he feel sorry for me? What the hell?

"I know why you said no, mate. Don't worry, it's not a bad thing" Orion smiled at me. I gave him a questioning look and he answered by pointing to the doors. Just as I looked up at them, they burst open and Dumbledore walked through them with the first years behind him... I was confused, why are first years the reason I said no to a date?

I felt Orion smack me on the head "Not the children, Tom! Look who's next to Dumbledore" I then noticed the pale brown (almost blond) haired beauty and her twin brother walking quietly next to the old bat. Luna was the reason I said no? How? I've only known her for a few hours... This is too weird!

"Look, Orion. Your my best friend and all... But I think that you've gone mad! How can that girl be the reason I turned down Malfoy?" He sent me another one of his legendary smirks again before replying

"Isn't it obvious, Tom?" I shook my head "Your obviously in love with her, you dip shit!" I stared at him, wide-eyed. Love? Tom Riddle does not love. Love is for the weak and vulnerable, and trust me... I am neither!

"In love? Are you mad?! I'm not in love! Love is for the weak. And I am not weak!" He looked at me shocked and offended

"Are you calling me weak, Tom? You know all too well that I am not weak and yet... I'm in love!"

"WHAT!? No! I'm not calling you weak, Orion. I of all people should, and do, know that you are not weak... Your in love?" I questioned... I didn't know that, well, he never showed it so of course I didn't know

"Of course I'm in love, Tom! Would you go out with someone like Walice if you didn't love them?" I shook my head. No, I wouldn't, Walice is just too bloody clingy and nosey for her own well being

"Well, I congratulate you, friend. But still, I just met her... It's not love I feel towards her, it's... Well... Okay, fine! It's love! But a brotherly love" Orion had a triumph smile on his face... Why did I pick him to be my friend? Seriously... Friends would think this is crazy and try to talk me out of it, but NNNOOOOOO!!! Orion has to be happy about it... Damn him and his optimism towards pretty much everything

"SLYTHERIN!" I heard the hat yell. I looked up and saw Harry Lovegood hop off the stool and towards us... At least we got one Lovegood here

"Excuse me, I'll be right back" I told Orion as I stood up and ran towards the stool, Luna was just about to sit down when I grabbed her arm and pulled her into a hug... Hmm... This feels nice. She fits perfectly into my arms, like they were made for her, moulded especially to fit her in.

Love at first sight. How ironically true that statement means to me now. Luna Lovegood... My love

"Good luck, Luna" I whispered into her hair. I let go of her quickly and ran back to my table. That was not what I wanted to say to her... This is what I wanted to say to her:

"Luna, my love! I have fallen in love with you! Will you do me the honors of loving me back" I yell, letting all the love (That I'm not really used to) in my body flow through in my voice

"Yes, Tom!" She would say "I will love you forever!" Then I would place a hand behind her neck and pull her closer and kiss her. Our first kiss, light, feathery. We break apart, looking into each others eyes then kissing again, this time more passionately, moaning and groaning, resting my other hand on her hip, her hands tangle into my hair. Heated kisses down her jaw line. In love I am. In love indeed...

I snapped out of my fantasy when I heard Orion growling. What the hell? He never growls... Well, only when someone flirts with Walice... But everyone has learned their lesson by now so they don't even try, but to hear him growling while Walice isn't even here is kind of weird. Harry gave me a confused look as he also heard Orion's little... Noise

"Orion... What's wrong?" I asked him cautiously. Actually afraid of him at this point. I have never, in the years that i've known him, seen that level of fury on Orion's face. Something must have gotten him pissed off. Maybe it was me, when I hugged Luna... I thought he was happy... What the hell?!

"Your little friend, Tom, is talking to that filth!" He snarled. I looked at where Orion was talking about. Ironically enough, Luna was sitting at the Gryffindor table talking to...

"She's talking to POTTER! NO!" I pretty much yelled. Talking and laughing with that blood traitor! How dare she?! How can her brother let her?! Oh My God!! This day cannot get any worse!

"Who cares? It's not like she's in danger or anything" Harry said calmly. Scratch that last thought... NOW this day cannot get any worse. Lovegood doesn't care about his sister talking to a filthy blood traitor! Good. The girl has seen some sense, she's coming over here... WAIT! She's coming here, HERE! She can't! I'm not ready... Omg! What am I going to do? Should I tell her I love her or just act my cool and charming self in hopes that she will love me eventually... But she's a Gryffindor, they'll get her to hate me and my world will come crashing down before me! Dramatic much...

"Howdy lads!" Luna's voice came from beside me. She sat down next to ME! Why not her brother or someone else? Don' get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but still... I need time to adjust to these new feelings... I told you that she was going to kill me one day...

"Hello, Luna" Orion and Lovegood said at the same time then laughed at their same time-ness... Weirdo's!

I reached out and held her hand. Say it, Tom! Say 'I Love You' Say it NOW! "Hello little Luna" I whispered and she shivered as my cool breath landed on her face Tom! You IDIOT! You weren't meant to say THAT!

"Hi Tin-man Tom" I smiled. Tin man :) Cute

"Tin-man Tom?" Harry asked

"Well, you know the Wizard Of Oz?" Luna asked and Harry nodded "And you know the Tin man?" He nodded again "Well, he's my favourite character in the movie, so yeah" She then leaned over towards me and kissed me on my cheek... Kissed me! Can you believe it! YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY! I almost missed the last bit of her sentence "He's bloody hot!" My faced then flushed red in embarrassment. She thinks I'm hot? Well, this day might not get worse but it definitely gets better

"Uhh... Sorry dude but no, Luna, I don't particularly think that Tom is adorable" Harry and Orion laughed

"Well, I do! There must be something wrong with you, Harry. We'll get your eyes checked soon" Luna then looked at me and noticed that my cheeks had turned a deep scarlet as she laughed along with Harry and Orion. Walice then came near us, she sat down on my other side, glaring at Luna and Harry... Anger boiled up inside me. How dare she look at Luna like that!?

"Orion, sweetie... Why are you eating with the blood traitor and not with me?" She asked, staring daggers at Luna, fury radiating off her... But mine so much stronger... She called Luna a blood traitor! That BITCH!

"I'm sorry, dear. I have no idea what your talking about. I see no blood traitors here" Now this is why Orion is my best friend

"I do! And her name is Luna Lovegood! Go back to your den, you *insert naughty words of your choice here* Lion!" I immediately took out my wand and held it against her throat. staring coldly into her eyes. Telling her that what she said was a huge mistake. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Harry had also got his wand out

"Want to say that again, Johnston?" I used the voice that would send chills down even Dumbledore's spine. Calm yet hard and dark. Her eyes went wide and shook her head furiously. I lowered my wand and she got up and ran out of the hall. I looked at Luna who had tears in her eyes. I quickly put my wand away and developed her into my warmest hug. Crushing her to me, holding her and keeping her safe

"Are you okay, Luna?" I asked softly. She nodded. I felt my shirt dampen... Luna is crying? Oh no! How could Walice do this?! Why would Orion love someone like that?

"I'm okay, Tom. I'm just not used to people being that hateful towards me" I heard her voice, but it was muffled by my chest, which she buried her face into to hide it from view. Damn it, Walice! Doesn't she see that what she said has upset my Luna?! Luna wrapped her arms around my waist and held onto me like a life line. She eventually let out an un-humanly sound as her crying became worse and tears started to fall faster. I held her closer to me and stroke her hair trying to calm her down

"Hush, love. Your okay. No one is ever going to be mean to you, Luna. Shhh" I whispered to her. She froze up and slowly loosened her grip on me until her arms were at her side, she then straightened up and looked me in the eye. her green orbs staring into my brown ones

"What did you call me?" Her voice was hoarse from all the crying but still strong

"Luna... That is your name, you know" Why did she ask me what I called her, I called her Luna... CRAP! I called her Love first and she heard! Excuse my french and all but FUCK!

"No, before that" I looked over to Harry, his eyes were as hard as stone and were staring daggers at me. Orion had his triumph look back on... Damn, they heard it as well

"I" My voice got caught in my throat. Damn it! "I - called. You- I called you Love" Luna looked shocked then her beautiful features turned into... Is that longing? Does she want me?

"I thought so..." She said "I think I shall go to bed. Get my time-table, will you, Harry?" Lovegood nodded as his twin stood up and walked out of the great hall. Well... I just totally screwed that up, didn't I? God damn it straight to hell!

"YES!" Orion yelled, punching the air with his fist. Harry then punched Orion's face with his fist. "Wa de hewl, du?" Orion tried to say through his hands as they were covering his mouth and trying to stop the blood from flowing out

"What do you mean 'What the hell'? My sister was upset and he" Lovegood pointed his finger at me, eyes burning with hatred "Called her 'Love'! Are you an idiot, Riddle? God! I'm going to bed!" Harry then stood up and stormed up to where Slughorn was, said something to him, Slughorn then gave him two pieces of paper and ran out of the hall. Orion casted a spell on himself which cleaned up his mouth and got rid of the blood. He then clapped me on the shoulder

"Well... That was smart of you, wasn't it, Tom?" I snarled at him and ran out of the great hall and towards the Gryffindor Tower. I've only been there once or twice, whenever a teacher puts me with a Gryffindor to work on a project, how I despise Gryffindor's... Now I love one of them, aren't I just a bundle of happiness...

"Luna!" I saw her standing outside the portrait of the Fat Lady looking furious. Her arms crossed and a scowl on her face

She turned to me as she heard my voice "Tom. Why won't the painting let me in?" She looked the portrait again

"That would be because the Fat Lady isn't there, dear" I told her calmly, she snarled at me then kicked the painting

"Don't call me dear, Tom! I'm not some toy you can play with! LEAVE ME ALONE!" She yelled at me, then broke down and started crying... Um... What do I do? I went over to her and wrapped my arms around her, fully expecting her to push me away. She did a little worse

"Crucio!" I felt pain that I never knew existed coming from my heart, tearing at me. I let out an un-human yell as the pain increased. Fire burning me from the inside-out. Mind you, this went on for a few minutes before she lifted the curse. When I opened my eyes, I found myself curled up on the ground with Luna standing over me, fear written all over her. I carefully stood up and approached Luna, but she backed away from me, raising her arms out in front of her, protecting herself. I wasn't going to hurt her! Of course not! I would never do such a thing! Not to Luna anyways...

"Did it hurt?" I heard her whisper

"Yeah, it kinda did, why?" I sub-consciously rubbed my chest, where it hurt most, and wasn't at all shocked when I felt that it was wet, wet with blood. Luna must have been pissed off when she casted the un-forgivable

"Don't come near me, Tom" She raised her wand threateningly at me and I stopped walking towards her. What is the matter with her?

"Why not, Luna?" I could tell she was scared, but why? Shouldn't I be the scared one? She casted an un-forgivable on me and now I'm bleeding and she's scared? What the hell?

"I used the Cruciatus Curse on you, Tom! An un-forgivable! Don't you even dare to come near me!" Tears were sliding down her cheek as she kept backing away from me, even though I wasn't moving

"But I do dare, Luna! Now, what's wrong?" With a flick of her wand, she sent me flying backwards and I hit the wall behind me. Ouch! Damn that hurt!

"STAY AWAY FROM ME, TOM! If you come near me, I will hurt you! Go away!" I staggered away from the wall and tried to approach her again but an invisible force punched me in the face, forcing me to fall backwards onto my butt. I felt blood flowing from my nose but for some reason, I didn't feel the pain, not at all, all my focus was to get to Luna without scaring her

"If you don't want me near you, well, that's fine, but there's no need to punch me!" I said to her as I got up, feeling a little light-headed. Luna started laughing and with another flick of her wand, the blood stopped pouring out of my nose and the bone was instantly healed "Why are you laughing at me?" I asked, bemused. It was quite funny. I started to laugh a bit as well

"I didn't punch you, Tom" She was still laughing, even as her brother's head appeared next to her "I did!" Harry's head said. His whole body then appeared and he put something into his pocket and started to laugh as well. How funny... Sarcasm implied

"Where did you come from?" I asked the Lovegood boy

"The dungeons, where did you come from" He said/asked as he placed his hand on Luna's shoulder to calm her down. Needless to say, it was working.

"The Great Hall. What the hell is wrong, Luna? Honestly, it didn't hurt that much!" I took a step forward but I must of tripped on something because I was flying, face first, into the floor and I hit my head, HARD.

The last thing I heard before I blacked out was "Tom?! Oh My God! I'm so SORRY!" Then blackness...
