Hi I'm the author

I own nothing except for the obvious new character which might I add is nothing like me. In all honesty I'm more like Severus Snape but at the request of a dear friend of mine I decide to give into her plea and write this. Please enjoy.

Btw there will be a pic of the added character on my profile.

Scratch…scratch….tap tap tap tap scratch scratch. I twirled and danced around my brother's house as I cleaned. The broom swiping up the dirt and grime as my shoes, which by the way looked very much like muggle's converse only these went all the way up to my knees, tapped to the beat of an unknown song that I couldn't seem to get out of my spacey head. My bright topaz eyes hooded by my eye lids drifted to the stair case waiting for my dear niece Luna to wake up.

I loved her more than anything in the world and its funny how this world works since she loved me just the same as I did her. It might have something to do with the facts that she and were incredibly alike personality wise except, she can walk five feet without tripping and I can't, and her mother named her after me I have no idea why she just said it felt right. Although our names are a little different since my name is Lunesta Lovegood. I'm her godmother as well. My Brother hasn't been the same since he lost his wife and I can't blame him. He was madly in love with her from the start.

"Aunt Lu, Pitry is tapping at the window" Luna's dreamy voice awakened me from my rieve. "oh thank you my little moon" my own dream like voice drifted from lips as I set down the broom and moved to unlatch the window letting my dear little owl in. Pitry dropped a letter from Hogwarts on to the table and strutted across the top of it. Luna and I looked at each other slightly confused. We weren't expecting her letter to Hogwarts until next year and I had just graduated. Luna gently picked it up "Aunt Lu it's addressed to you". She handed the letter to me.

I opened the seal and quickly dived into reading what the letter had to say. My normally dreamy eyes widened in shock and I gasped at what the letter was saying. "Aunt Lu what does it say? Are you alright?" Luna asked as I reached for a chair to sit down and to fall flat on my back. I stared at the ceiling for a few moments in shock before shifting my gaze to Luna. "The letter was from Dumbledore. Luna, you'll never believe what it just said. I-I got a job….well Prof. Dumbledore is offering me a job as his assistant starting next week" I managed to squeak out. "That's great Aunt Lu you should take the job" said Luna "but what about you and Xenophilius. I can't just leave you two. You don't start Hogwarts until next year and Xenophilius is barely home as it is plus he could burn cereal." I said thoughtfully my voice back to it usual dreamy state. "I'm ten years old Aunt Lunesta I can handle myself and father besides this will be good for you. A chance to do something for yourself instead of wasting your youth away taking care of father and I. I'm sure father will agree with me" reasoned Luna. "Yes I do" Xenophilius said from behind me. He grabbed me by my fore arms and helped me stand "]And you don't have to worry about me not being home as much any more because I'm going to work from home from now on" Xenophilius continued making me look him in the eyes. Those crystal blue eyes that he got from our father in fact he was the exact replica of our father where as I was the clone of our mother with straight brown hair and topaz eyes. Xenophilius always knows how to convince me to do something. We have always been extremely close even though a giant age gap separates us; Him nearing forty and I a mere eighteen.

"Alright Xeno I'll take the job but not before I lay some ground rules around here. I don't want Luna doing all the work and missing out on her childhood and when I go I want both of you two to write me atleast once a week maybe more." I said without missing a beat. Xeno and Luna smiled at me before bringing me into a hug.

One week later~

I stood in front of my brother's fire place in my dress robes that consisted of a white long-sleeve button up shirt, a black vest, a black pencil skirt, and my ravenclaw scarf, my knee-high shoes and striped socks adorning my feet. I twisted my long hair into Pushing my black framed glasses up the bridge of my nose and took in the scene before me; Xenophilius and Luna standing their kitchen seeing me off to my new job. My dear brother wearing a proud smile and my sweet little niece doing just the same thing "Try to come home for the holidays, don't forget to take care of yourself, and fire call us tonight ok? We'll miss you Lunesta" my brother wrapped his arm around Luna. With one last dazed smile I stepped into the fire place, dropped the Floo powder and said Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry, head master Dumbledore's office. And just like that I was gone from their sight.

Dumbledore's office

"Minerva please calm yourself, having an assistant around will lessen everyone's work load around here and no she won't be taking over your job. Ms. Lovegood will be here so instead of focusing on attending to whatever I need, you can focus on yourself." Dumbledore said trying to ease Minerva's worries. "B-but Albus" She was cut off by green flames appearing in the fireplace and a young woman walking out of it only to get a few steps in before falling flat on her face. Both Minerva and Albus winced on impact. "A-are you alright dear?" Minerva asked me. "Yup Good-morning professors, How are you this morning?" I ask popping up off the floor. "Quite alright dear" Dumbledore said conjuring up a chair next to Minerva for me.

I shared a pleasant greeting with Minerva and sat down. This time I made sure the chair was under me before I sat down. Albus waited until I was seated before stating "Hello Ms. Lovegood, I do believe we must go over some things before you begin working for Hogwarts and I." I nodded for him to continue "As my assistant, Ms. Lovegood you will be responsible for: setting up meetings, making arrangements for events including those that pop up unexpectedly, you will help me make sure classes are in order, keep file of the things that are said and done in this room, you are to manage both mine and Hogwarts' finances, not only that but you are also to make sure Hogwarts is fully stocked and equipped at all times. Also you are not only my assistant, you are to be a messenger between the four heads of house, a guidance councilor to the students, and Hogwarts' representative at the ministry of magic whenever Minerva is preoccupied. Is this understood?" he waited for me to finish writing all that down ,on the note pad that I had pulled out moments after he started speaking, and nod to show my understanding. "Wonderful now, can I trust that you will wake me every morning and be available to me and the students at all times for assistance?" he asked "Yes sir absolutely" I chirped "Simply wonderful I have arranged for your courters to be the ravenclaw stairway since that is your house and attached to it is your office which I presume you will have open from when the students wake up and until curfew. Our way of communicating will be through Pitry; whenever I need you I will have him carry a phoenix feather to you. Now Minerva if you please, could you show Ms. Lovegood to her courters?" Dumbledore asked on his way to his room. Both Minerva and I nodded and left Albus' office.

Minerva kept glancing at me out of the corner of her eyes every few moments "Minerva please don't worry I won't be taking over your job if that's what your worried about. I'm only the assistant nothing more. I was hired so no one gets over worked." I say to ease her nerves. Minerva sighed a bit in relief and mumbled a quiet thank you to me before continuing down the hallway and stopping in front a wooden door. Taking out her wand and pointing at the door she spoke the enchantment alohamora before entering the room.

The room was about half the size of one of the class rooms and had a cozier feel to it. Inside book selves lined the walls, an oak desk sat in the back center of the room and behind it was a portrait of Rowena ravenclaw. A fireplace was on the left wall, the walls were blank perfect for putting up posters to help the students feel more welcome and comfortable, and nothing on the floor. I tilted my head when I noticed the floor. Oh that must change I thought just before Minerva spoke to me "well this is your office I hope it's to your liking, if not than I'm sure you can think of something" she winked at the after note making me smile and think of the room of requirements before continuing "behind that portrait is your room which all of your belongings have been set up. The password is Adiuvo (meaning to help in Latin) and if I may ask, why is it that you are wearing a scarf in the dead middle of summer? Aren't you burning up child?" I giggled before replying "I have very thin blood so naturally I'm cold all the time." "Yes well good night Lunesta" she said getting ready to leave the room "goodnight Minerva and please do call me Lu there is no need to be so formal." I said as she nodded with a small smile on her face and left to head to her own courters for the day.

I turned to examine the room once again before setting to work. I pulled my wand from my hair letting it cascade down my back. "Accio posters" I said with my rowan wood wand in my left hand. Posters of the Beatles, The Who, and many other bands and Icons of both muggle and magical London spread themselves upon the walls. I paused in thought about the floor before a metaphorical light bulb popped up above my head. I Accio'd several plush rugs, bean bags, and lots of candles to light the room. I placed a perch for Pitry beside my desk and went to work stocking said desk with everything I would need for the upcoming year that would be starting in less than a month and a half. I Accio'd books to fill the book shelves that lined the walls and added a framed map of Hogwarts on to the right wall before moving on to my personal courters.

Once inside I found that it had been set up like my brother's house which made me smile. Kitchen to the left side of the living room another fireplace to right side with a couch and two arm chairs in front of it plus a bookshelf to the right of it and yet another perch for Pitry to the left of it. On top of the mantel place sat a picture of my family. I smiled softly at the grinning faces of my brother and niece before stepping into my bedroom which was to the left of Pitry's perch and the fireplace. My bedroom was simple just a queen size bed with ravenclaw colors for the bedding, another fireplace, another perch for Pitry, an arm-chair, a window that had a beautiful view of the black lake, there was a trunk at the foot of my bed, followed by a dresser, a door leading to the bathroom just beyond that, and a large book shelf filled with more of my books. I twisted my hair back up into its up-do.

After I sorted out everything in my courters I found my self gazing out at the beautiful scenery from my window. Suddenly I thought of my dear Thestral, Astral. Oh no what am I going to do. I forgot to make arrangements with Dumbledore about her. Maybe it's not too late. I shot up from my perch at the window and out of my room forgetting to put my shoes back on. My small feet beat against the ground until I tripped right in front of Albus' office door. "Ow" I mutter against the stone floor before lifting myself up and just as I was about to knock the door suddenly opened making me stumble yet however this time I caught myself. "If you are here about Astral than you have no need to worry. I have already arranged everything Hagrid. Astral will be joining the rest of the herd until you decide to move her" Albus spoke as he stepped into my view. This made me straighten my back and correct my posture in relief which in turn showed Albus that I was truly grateful. "Thank you Professor" my dream like voice seemed to make his eyes sparkle. "No need to thank me Lunesta but if you are truly grateful than please call me Albus." Albus assured me. "Of course as long as you call me Lu" I answered and smiled dazedly at him. Albus bid me good day and returned to his courters.

Seating myself in front of my living room fireplace and stared at the space for a few moments, letting the day's event slowly seep in. the sun had long since set and I had accomplished setting up my office and courters, properly file away the school records, send letters to the incoming first years, had a chat with Sybil about her crafting a crystal ball for my office, and had tea with Hagrid. There is still so much more to do before lessons start in September; my thoughts made me nip at my lip a bit. Reaching up, I grabbed a hand full of Floo powder and threw it into the fireplace, stating Xeno's address. "Hello? Xeno? Luna? Is anyone still awake?" I called into their kitchen and getting an immediate response of "Yes yes we're here!" Xenophilius' and Luna's faces appeared before me.

"How are you? Did you make it there safe? Is everything in order? Are you home sick? How do you like it there?" Their questions came out all at once bombarding me "slow down please. I'm fine. I made it here safely, yes everything is in order, no but I do miss you both, and I love it here." I tried to answer all of their questions at once. "I won't be starting my real work until tomorrow and even then that will only be half of it since I won't start being a guidance councilor to the students arrive." We went on to tell each other about our days and how everything went until it was time for Luna to go to bed.

After performing my nightly grooming routine, I slid into bed and drifted slowly into a dream filled sleep about Azkaban and a worn yet handsome looking man.

Please comment on this I would like to know your opinions on it before I continue. Thank you !
