Disclaimer: You more than likely know this by now, but I do not own Harry Potter or any related characters. However, I do own the plot.

Note: The title for this story is still not final.

Luna's Crush

----------------------------------------------------

Chapter 1: Luna Lovegood

Luna Lovegood awoke on a July morning staring at the ceiling. She had had a peculiar dream. It had been about a boy from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was sixteen years old, rather skinny, and had a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. His name was Harry Potter.

Luna did not understand her dream. There was a strange feeling about it that she had never felt before. She did not understand.

Luna was a loner. She never had many friends, and even during her days in Muggle primary school, she was always being made fun of and bullied. She never liked anyone, and no one ever liked her. She just did her schoolwork, did what she was told, and was never rude. Nowadays, if someone taunted her or made a rude comment about her, she would just shrug it off.

So why was it that this dream, this dream about a boy she met on the Hogwarts Express one year ago, so strange? So…. Strong?

Surely, she didn't like Harry? No…. That wasn't it. She never had a crush on anyone.

But maybe, maybe this time, she had discovered someone who she felt sparked her interest….

She sighed. This feeling…. It was very confusing for her. And, even if she really did like Harry, he was popular, and she was not. There wasn't any way he would like her.

"Luna! Hurry up, or you'll miss the train! It's leaving in less than an hour!" her father yelled from somewhere downstairs.

Luna quickly sat up. Not realizing how late she was, she quickly got out of bed and got dressed. Five minutes later, she was hurrying downstairs with her trunk and got into her father's car.

Once Luna arrived at King's Cross, she and her father quickly made their way through the crowded station and arrived at the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10.

Luna's father said goodbye, and Luna asked, "Aren't you coming on the platform?"

"Sorry! I'm late for work! See you, Luna!" her father called as he departed.

Luna casually leaned against the barrier, and she slid through. There, waiting to depart, stood the scarlet steam engine that would take her back to her fifth year at Hogwarts.

Ok. So that was my first fic. It was kind of short, only 373 words. But don't worry. If I get enough reviews (NO FLAMES, please), then I shall post the next two chapters, which are already written and just need to be typed up.

Happy Holidays!
