Title: In Need of a Friend

Author: ~*StrAnger*~

Rating: PG-13 for now probably going to stay that way

WARNINGS: This is a Harry/Luna story. I just read a great fanfic about them and realized there weren't too many so I wanted to encourage this pairing since I personally love it.

Disclaimer: No, I do not own Harry potter. Yes, I do wish I did. Please, don't sue me.

A/N: This is my second fanfic and I decided to make thins one a songfic. This story is based on the song Field of Innocence by Evanescence.

__*__*__*__*__*__*__*__*

Luna Lovegood sat in a compartment starring out the window. She wondered to her self. Why are people cruel to me? Why do they judge me? I am nice aren't I? I am polite; I do what I'm supposed too.

All I can do is watch and learn how I should be. Maybe that's it. I'm a freak because I'm a loner who watches everyone and doesn't talk. I'm only that way because no one likes me. I began to cry hiding it from myself. I'm afraid of crying, afraid it made her weak and little. I don't want to be weak or little.


*I still remember the world

From the eyes of a child

Slowly those feelings

Were clouded by what I know now*


No one cares about me, whimpering Luna fell to the floor. If no one cares about me, then I don't care about them. I hate you all. I wish everyone would leave me alone. Let me go crazy, let me be crazy. I don't know anyone anymore. I am crazy and everyone else is normal I want to be normal but I can't.

*Where has my heart gone

An uneven trade for the real world

I want to go back to

Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all*

I used to be so normal. I used to play with other witches and wizards in my backyard. I had so many friends. Then my father and his stupid magazine were called crazy. So people started calling me crazy, weird, freaky. I then started to talk to myself and hold myself. No one else would hold me anymore so I held myself.

*I still remember the sun

Always warm on my back

Somehow it seems colder now*

I sensed someone watching me whimper on the floor so I stopped. I was afraid to turn around and see a nasty face looking at me and thinking I was crazy. Then a hand was on my shoulder. It was warming and soothing. I turned around and saw it as, Harry Potter. I looked at him and he looked like he cared. Did he? Or was it pity. I didn't want pity but it was better then ignoring me.

"Are you okay? I think I've seen you around, you a Ravenclaw?" Harry asked starring at me and making me very uncomfortable. I sat back down on the seat and pulled my hair back.

"Yeah, I'm Luna Lovegood from Ravenclaw. I'm fine, really." As soon as I said Luna Harry looked at me as everyone else did. "Yeah that's me, Loony. Go ahead leave call me a freak."

*Where has my heart gone

Trapped in the eyes of a stranger

I want to go back to

Believing in everything*

Harry blinked, "No that's not it, I imagined Loony to be an ugly and insane girl." I a bit confused and a bit hurt started to cry. "But you're beautiful and you look lonely. Do you want me and my friends to sit with you?" I nodded and Harry wiped off my tears. "Let me get my friends."

Harry came back with his friends and the rest of the ride they talked and laughed. I wasn't ready to talk and laugh with them but I was happy that they just sat with me. I was also Happy I made a friend. Harry Potter, my first friend since I came to Hogwarts.

Harry looked at me and I smiled. A tear ran down my cheek. It was a tear of Happiness. Harry turned back to his friend named Ron and smiled. Soon everyone was smiling and I was really happy, for now.
