Okay I want to begin with a few points; for the purposes of this story Luna is in the same year as Fred and George (as this story begins in Prisoner of Azkaban, they are in their fifth year). I also would like to remind readers that this is only my third story (and one of the first two was only a one shot) so please take that into account when you judge this.

Luna Lovegood felt a spring in her step as she skipped down the staircase of the Leaky Cauldron, hearing the sounds of chatter and china as her fellow witches and wizards prepared their early morning meals.

On reaching the ground floor, Luna was delighted when she noticed several heads of red hair at the far left table...she knew her favourite family had arrived.

''Hello Mrs Weasley'' Luna skipped to Molly Weasley's side. Molly gulped down her tea and turned to Luna, looking as happy to see Luna as Luna was to see her.

''Oh Luna dear, it's lovely to see you again'' Molly gave Luna a quick hug. ''Fred and George didn't mention that you were staying here.''

''It was last minute. Dad has some meetings for The Quibbler and is busy for the rest of the week; he thought that it might be nicer for me to come here as I wouldn't be on my own like I would be if I stayed at home.''

''Oh well it's so nice to see you again Luna''

''Morning Luna'' Arthur appeared behind his wife and smiled.

''Hello Mr Weasley'' Luna walked around the table to sit on a free seat. Across from her sat Ron and a very familiar looking raven haired, green eyed boy. ''Hello Harry Potter''

Harry's head shot up from the article on the Weasley's holiday to Egypt, surprised that she had spoken to him. ''Oh um...hello''

''I'm sorry I startled you'' Luna couldn't help but smile, this boy had faced You-Know-Who; yet he still was nervous around people.

''Oh no...I just wasn't expecting for you to speak to me.'' Harry suddenly realised why he recognised the strange girl. ''You're Luna Lovegood aren't you? You're friends with Fred and George.''

Luna smiled, indeed she was; in fact Fred and George Weasley were her best friends in the entire world, and they had been since her second day at Hogwarts.

(Flashback)

Luna skipped through the long corridors of Hogwarts, blissfully unaware of the looks that her fellow students were giving her. She hadn't been at Hogwarts for an entire day yet, and already she had heard the mutters of 'Loony' Lovegood; but she couldn't have cared less.

As she skipped past two identical red heads, they did not mutter, they simply stared after her. They watched as she reached the end of the corridor and two Slytherin first years stepped in front of her. George and Fred both sneered at the girls; who were both terrifically ugly and short.

''What are you so happy about?'' The shorter and fatter of the two asked.

''Nothing in particular. I'm just a very happy person'' Luna knew that these two meant trouble, but she kept her usual dreamy smile on her face and showed no fear to them.

''Yeah I can see that'' snarled the second girl. ''It's sickening''

The first girl looked at Luna's uniform and noticed the blue. ''So you're in Ravenclaw. Considering the fact that you're not scared of us, I would have assumed that you would have been put in Gryffindor; you're pretty brave blondie, but you should really know when to shut up and run away.''

''Wait a minute, are you that 'Loony' Lovegood the people in our house have been talking about, apparently you're a bit of a nutter; maybe that's why you're not scared.'' The second girl laughed.

A crowd of first years was beginning to gather around the three girls, in amongst it was Fred and George; who already had a hatred of Slytherins thanks to the stories they had been told by Bill and Charlie.

''Maybe I am, but I honestly don't care what others think of me. Especially you'' Luna smiled at the fuming girls, causing the Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws to cheer at Luna taking the high ground and the Slytherins to snarl and mutter nasty comments under their breath at her.

''Yeah well you'll care in a minute'' The second girl took a threatening step forwards, but Luna did not even flinch. ''You really are stupid.''

''One more move Miss Ridgestone and you'll be heading home on the Hogwarts Express in five minutes.'' Everyone froze in fear as the voice of Severus Snape emerged from nowhere. As he appeared many of the crowd ran off, while those that stayed backed away from him. ''As head of Slytherin house, I have the power to make that happen. You will both come see me in my office tomorrow lunch, failure to show up will result in detention for a month.''

Without giving a single glance to Luna, Snape finished, turned and walked back in the direction he had come from. Both Slytherin girls gave Luna a hostile glare before walking away.

Several members of the crowd walked up to Luna and congratulated her on how she reacted, saying that she 'acted so cool' or that 'that was wicked fun to watch those girls faces'. However only two people were actually concerned for the petite blonde; Fred and George.

''Hey, are you alright?'' George asked her as she walked past them. She pivoted round to look at them.

''Oh yes, I'm fine. I'm very use to it by now.''

''Yeah, well, if there's any more trouble just come and find us. I'm Fred Weasley and this is-''

''George, his younger and more handsome twin brother'' George grinned cheekily as he spoke, causing Luna to laugh.

''Bugger off, that wasn't what I was going to say'' Fred nudged his twin.

''Yeah but what I said was the truth so it doesn't matter'' Luna chuckled at the bickering brothers.

''You are both very sweet, thank you'' Luna waved and gave them a big smile, before beginning to walk away again.

''Hey where are you going?'' Fred jumped to one side of her as he spoke, while George started to walk on the other side of her.

''The Great Hall'' Luna's smile got bigger as the boys walked alongside her. ''I've got a study period''

''Oh what a coincidence...'' George began.

''so do we'' Fred finished. As her head moved to look at the twin on either side of her, Luna thought she would soon get neck ache if they continued finishing each others sentences.

''Would you like to join us?'' Fred asked.

''But we should warn you before you answer; we aren't the most serious of guys and we may be a cause of distraction.'' George admitted.

''That's alright, I don't mind'' Both boys grinned as the three of them made their way to the Great Hall.

(End of Flashback)

Luna smiled as she remembered that study period. Most of it had consisted of Fred and George screwing up pieces of parchment and throwing them at a group of Slytherins who were sat across the room, and the rest of it included the three of them talking about their families and lives. By the end of the period, Luna knew almost everything about the Weasley twins, and they new almost everything about her.

''What are you doing here Loony'' Fred called from the top of the stairs. Luna could tell just by his voice that it was Fred and not George, but the fact that she had been called 'Loony' also gave it away. The once spiteful nickname used by those who had judged her; had become a loving nickname Fred used for her; he said that the only thing that made her 'Loony' was the fact that she willing to chose to be best friends with two troublemakers like him and George. George however, had never liked calling her it, despite Fred changing its meaning.

''Hello Fred'' Luna squealed as Fred pulled her into a bear hug. He chuckled as he released her and Luna jokingly glared at him.

''Oi, forgetting someone?'' George said from beside his brother.

''Oh George I could never forget you'' Luna giggled as she jumped up at him and wrapped her arms around his neck; both he and Fred had gotten considerably taller over the holidays.

''Well I'm bloody glad about that, especially when I'm your favourite'' George smirked.

''Bugger off, I'm her favourite.'' Fred argued.

''Luna who's your favourite?'' George pulled back from their hug and looked at Luna.

''Errrmm...if I'm honest, I'm going to have to say Percy.'' Luna giggled before sitting back down.

''Oh lovely, it's nice to know that four years of friendship means so much to you'' Fred said sarcastically, taking the seat beside Luna.

''Yeah, the gratitude of the woman'' George took the seat on the other side of Luna. ''Hey Luna, have you seen the article about our trip yet?''

''No I haven't''

''Oh no wonder...'' George reached across the table and snatched it away from Ron ''...here you go my lady.''

Luna smiled as she took the article from George, wondering how different things would be for her if she didn't have the twins as her best friends. Her life would certainly be a little less interesting; that was certain, but it would also be a lot less complicated.

For the first couple of years, her relationship with Fred and George was simple, they were her best friends; they looked out for her, made her laugh and they all supported each other. But in their third year, Luna suddenly found herself that little bit more drawn to George. He was the more sensitive brother, he thought about the consequences and he was more forward thinking than Fred; who was the more impulsive twin.

Fred was undoubtedly the brother Luna had never had, but she couldn't say the same thing about George. She had felt that way for the last two years, but Luna had no plans to make those feelings known, her friendship with George was far too important for her too risk, and Luna refused to believe that George would ever look at her in the way that she looked at him.

''It was brilliant; you see that pyramid behind us...'' Fred's voice broke Luna out of her thoughts and she saw his finger pointing to the pyramid in the article's picture ''...me and George tried shutting Percy in there-''

''-we would of done it too, but Mum caught us'' George interrupted.

''I'm sure you would have have done it if you had been given the chance'' Luna grinned, picturing Fred and George trying to wrestle Percy inside a pyramid.

''Alright kids, time to get going'' Arthur raised his voice to be heard over the rooms noise.

''Great, back to Hogwarts for another year of excitement'' Fred didn't try to hide is lack of enthusiasm.

''Yeah but were over halfway through now Fred; just years five, six and seven to go'' George stood and handed the article back to Ron.

''You hear that Lovegood, only another three years of having to deal with us'' Fred grinned at Luna.

''I'm sure if I can handle Nargles and Wrackspurts, then I can handle the two of you'' Luna stood up and began to follow Arthur, Molly and Ginny towards the door.

''She's got a point there'' George said, following her.

''Yeah, besides what's a year at Hogwarts without Fred and George'' Fred commented as he walked past Luna.

Luna smiled, she couldn't imagine having a life at Hogwarts without Fred and George there with her.

Next chapter; Onboard the Hogwarts Express, George thinks about his feelings for Luna.

This chapter aims to basically sum up what has happened in their friendship so far through Luna's point of view, and the next will be looking at George's view, but I haven't written in the first person as I want to keep with the style of the books.
