Death talk
Summary: Finding Luna sitting near Black Lake, Harry knows something is very wrong. She's talking rather normal than her usual way of talking. He can see hints of cut marks on her arms make him wonder is she was actually thinking of doing that. What surprise him is when she brings up her mother and questions why she gone.
Taking a walk around the grounds on the cool windy day while Ron and Hermione are doing their prefect rounds, Harry finds it relaxing and able to think of random topics. In the distance he spots Neville heading to the green houses while Dean and Seamus playing a game of exploding snap or so when it is confirm when Seamus's card he place down blows up on him. Even Malfoy and his goons are leaving him alone.
To his surprise he sees a small blonde girl near the lake. Concern he heads over soon recognizing its Luna Lovegood. She must have heard him walking since she stiffens up and tugs the sleeves of her robe to cover her arms making it odd.
"Hello Harry," She whispers not quite meeting his eyes.
"Hey Luna, what's wrong?" he ask looking carefully making out a few cut marks on her wrist and some bruises forming especially the black eye.
"Nothing more than the usual," she answers sounding like a normal person instead of her usual Luna-self concerning Harry. "Not that it really matters anyhow to anyone."
"Luna," Harry said looking at the silvery grey orbs shining with unshed tears as they hold helpless and pain.
"Is it fair that my mum is gone? Why did she have to die," She chokes bringing her mother up randomly startling the teen as tears rolls down. "If she was here…maybe I have help."
"Hey don't cry," Harry begs the younger girl who starts to sob and feeling out of his element.
Sighing Harry sits beside the blond and gives her a hug and make soothing sounds to help calm her down. He can see other cut marks and the thought the girl in his arm is suicidal causes his heart to stricken.
"Luna are your housemates…"He trails off feeling her nod against his shoulder, not caring about the wet tears soaking his robes.
"I'm right here Luna. It's okay." With those simple words, Luna cries until she is spent.
No other words were needed. Rubbing her back comfortingly Harry soon learns of the loving mother Luna use to have before she pass on. Even the admittances of her cutting due to everything start to become too much. The feeling of being alone and unwanted left seeds of doubt in her mind that start to break the blonde. With each word his heart aches for his young friend.
It wasn't until awhile he notice she stop crying and looks down at her. He finds Luna fast asleep and sighs.
"I should inform Professor McGonagall about this but for now I will keep it quiet," Harry murmurs glancing at the lake letting the Ravenclaw get some well deserve rest after the death talk that she been holding in.
