Author's Note: This is where I will post any short, mostly unedited drabbles (350 words or less) I may write for the HPFC forum that take place in the Moonlight series. Warning: AU ahead!
The first one was written for my own Odd Pairing Game in the 3rd anniversary after party. I used Severus/James as proposed by Aaliyanna's-SeventhHeaven. It also includes Harry/Luna.
Meet the Parents I
As much as Harry adored his parents, he couldn't help but worry about their reaction to his bringing home a Gryffindor for Christmas. They knew he had a girlfriend, but he'd carefully avoided mentioning her name (which Father would know). It didn't help matters that Luna had started out as a Hufflepuff and then gotten herself moved.
Furthermore, he was definitely concerned about Luna's reaction to his parents. Again, he hadn't mentioned any details to her, so he was nearly positive she didn't know who his father was. Whether or not she recognized his surname was another matter, but he thought that if she knew his dad was a Death Eater, she probably wouldn't have started dating him. That his father and dad were both Death Eaters, and she, again, a Gryffindor…
"Harry, you're doing it again," said Luna gently.
Harry swallowed and gave her a tight smile. "Doing what?"
"Worrying." Luna touched his forehead lightly with a finger. She had odd ways of touching him, but he kind of liked it. "It'll be fine. I know your parents are Death Eaters, or at least one of them must be."
Harry blinked. "You do?"
"You're in Slytherin, Harry," Luna reminded him. "And you haven't moved houses. I pay attention to these things."
Right.
The train had come to a halt while they talked. Realizing this, Harry rose and led the way out, though he kept his distance from Luna – their relationship wasn't public yet, and he'd even warded their compartment. Out on the platform, he led her to a secluded area before pulling out his Portkey and activating it for them. He'd already explained to her how his routine worked, so she made no comment, just touched the watch lightly when he held it out.
To Luna's credit, she didn't even blink at the sight of the Headmaster of Hogwarts when they arrived, nor at the man who stood next to him. Then again, Luna rarely blinked at all.
"Hello, Professor Snape," she said calmly. "And you must be Mr. Potter. It's a pleasure to meet you."
