Out of everything he'd ever seen her do, it was always when her dreamy shield was gone, was when he really saw her. Luna Lovegood. Odd, yet wisier than she ever let on. The Boy-Who-Lived looked across the courtyard at a young woman, standing alone at the edge of the water. Harry Potter looked up at the thick gray coulds above, it was going to pour, cold bone soaking rain. He could feel it in his body. He couldn't tell how he knew, there were just some tings you could feel. Like the fact that he needed to walk over to the lake. She didn't seem to notice his approach, not one muscle in her slender body moved, yet as soon as he was within three feet of her, he saw her hand stretch out telling him not to come any closer. It was then at that moment there was a rumble of thunder threw the sky, as rain suddenly was pouring down so hard he could barely see her.
With her dirty blonde hair dripping water, rain running down every inches of thier bodies, She turned her head to look at him. "Hello Harry, What do you want?" Her voice vague, but in a different way, not dreamy, but hollow. Harry stepped closer to her trying to read the emptiness he knew was there in her dreamy, silvery eyes. "Luna, We need to go inside." He spoke out of concern that they'd both caught a nasty cold. Luna acted as if she hadn't heard him as she walked deeper into the water, Harry ran after her, pulling on her arm as she reached water that was up to her thighs. The waters swirling dangerously around her, it scared him.
Harry remained barely on the shore, as he tightened his gripp on her arm. "Luna.." He said in quiet desperation,"Stop this maddness." Luna looked at him quick enough, her lips blue as they formed a hollow form of hurt,"Madness Harry? Oh but I am madness. Loony and Mad, aren't I?" Luna said as if talking to herself more than to him, she looked out into the dangerous waves of the lake. Harry flinched as he realized exactly how those simple words effected her,"Luna, your not mad... Your just.. different." "A nice way to put it I'm sure, but then again you never could delibretly hurt anyone's feelings."
Harry could only look at her as she tried to walk deeper into the water, he wouldn't let her budge. "Luna, Why are you doing this?" She just looked out at the water. There was a cold cutting silence, almost as cold as the wind and ice rain that whirled around them. "It happened on a night just like this you know, I remember it all, I watched." He wouldn't have heard it if he had not been listening for anything to make sense of what she was doing. "What happened?"
Harry walked deeper into the water to her side, never letting go of her arm. Luna's hair was in her eyes, her pale lips formed what he swore was a bitter smile,"My Mother's spell went horrible wrong." Harry felt the pain almost ripple threw her, as if he could feel it from his connection with her arm. "Luna.." "I was only 6, I didn't really know any better, I had gotten soaked outside, wanting to pick just the right flower for Mummy. Just the right flower."
She paused, her lips tensing, then continued,"I ran in, not wanting to wait until she was finished with her experiments. I wanted to give it to her quickly. I saw her, beautiful as ever, one of the most beautiful people I'd ever seen, they said I looked like her. I never believe them. Her hair wasn't straggly and it was a paler blonde, and her eyes, were so beautiful, such a deep purple it was hard to believe we were related." Harry bite his lip so he couldn't tell her she was wrong, he let her continue. "She had been in the middle of waving her wand when she'd smiled at me, a bright smile she'd only gave to me, it was the only time she didn't use that ghost of a smile, was at me.
She had a sadness to her when she didn't know I was watching. I could feel her deep ache, but she was always so gentle and careful. I was in shock at something so violently killing her. Lightening in from the roof, I saw it threw her whole body, she didn't even scream, her mouth was open though, as if she were screaming silently, and nobody could hear her. Maybe that's how it was for her, maybe she was screaming, and nobody noticed. I remember running to her, those purple eyes looking at me, she looked so happy, Her hand reached and touched my face. I remember the fading look in her eyes, I watched her soul slowly depart from her body, she'd whispered to me,"My dearest moon." She loved the moon, I was her moon. That's what she'd called me. That was the last thing she ever said. I thought she'd went to sleep, yet.. she never woke up." It didn't take long to notice that the water running down her face wasn't just rain, but a mixture of water and unshed tears.
Harry'd resisted the urge to comfort her, he'd almost succeeded but when a small sob tore from her throat, it broke down every barrior he'd had, as she awkwardly pulled her to him, letting her cry as he'd picked her up. She didn't weigh all that much, not to him, but the water was weighing them both down he had to get her inside. Once inside in the great hall where many stared at a sobbing Loony Lovegood, sobbing into the chest of thier hero who was carrying her, Harry Potter. Harry ignored all, including Ron and Hermione who were chasing after him, Harry had realized Luna was crying even in her sleep, he had to get her to the hosipital wing, before she got seriously ill.
(A/N: PLZ R&R! Tell me if my story is good or if it needs work. After, reading the first 2 chapters, I hope. The first chapter is probably a bit too mushy but oh well. This is a mixture of Harry/Luna and a bit of Sirius will come later on.)
