Luna & Moonbeam Tonks
Prologue
Harry Potter wasn't your average eight year old boy. In fact, he wasn't really a boy at all. No, Harry is a Metamorphmagus. Well, he would be if he knew what a Metamorphmagus was. To him, and to the Dursley's, he is a freak. Freak Potter or, more commonly, just freak.
Freak had never seen the outside of the Dursley's property. In fact, she was only allowed to do her chores when the sun was set. That way no one would ever know she existed. It was better that way. Her freakish ways would only bring more freaks, they said.
There was no way they wanted that, either, so they kept her locked up during most of the day. When the sun went down, she would do her chores. This, of course, meant she couldn't make breakfast unless she made it early enough but, at the same time, they expected the breakfast to be hot. It was all so confusing for freak; what would you do?
Nonetheless, freak continued the normal routine. She would make breakfast, go to her cabinet before they woke, then sit in there until dark and then make dinner. After dinner, her uncle and cousin would play a game with her. All she knew was that the game made her feel dirty but she never complained. Why would she? How would she? She didn't speak that well anyway. Not like the Dursley's, anyway.
Freak sighed, wondering why she was such a freak. It wasn't her fought that her hair changed colors every few seconds. Right now, according to the looking glass thingy, her hair was bubblegum pink. That would cost her an extra beating later, she thought.
Just as Freak was lying in the cabinet, she felt something in her heart. A pain that felt as if someone was screaming out to her. She concentrated on this feeling, closing her eyes, and screamed along with the other person.
Luna's POV
Seven year old Luna Lovegood, daughter of Xenophilius and Maria Lovegood, sat playing with her toy model of the Hogwarts train. Her father and mother a few feet away, experimenting with some potions, when suddenly an explosion was heard. Luna looked up in fright and noticed her father's skin hanging off his bones. The next thing she saw after that was her mother rushing toward her, blocking the explosion with her own body, and screaming out because of her husband; Luna's father.
Suddenly, there was a white light and a young girl with long red hair appeared next to Luna. Luna was confused about this, but didn't have time to question it, because as soon as the young girl's skin made contact with Luna's the young girl changed in to a mirror duplicate of Luna.
Maria Lovegood
"Pass me the pig's eyes, dear," Maria said to her husband.
"Pig's eyes? Shouldn't it be toad's breath?" Xenophilius asked.
She shook her head, "No, I think the pig's eyes would be better."
Her loyal husband handed sighed and handed her the pig's eyes, "If you say so, dear," he said.
She smirked and then added the pig's eyes to the concoction, swirling the potion with a spoon, and then nodding, "Not bad," she said.
Suddenly, and without warning, the potion began to bubble and explode. Her husband, Xenophilius, quickly pushed her out of the way. His body being hit by the explosion, as his skin melted off of his body.
She didn't have time to cry, though, because one thought made its way to the front of her skull; Luna. So, she did what any mother would do. She ran in front of her child, taking the second blunt of the explosion.
Without warning, a young red headed girl appeared next to Luna. Lily? Maria thought to herself. The young girl looked like Lily Potter. Wait, she has a lightning bolt scar. Harry had a lightning bolt scar. Maria knew she didn't have much time before she would die. She quickly touched the other girl, using her advanced Seer abilities to see into the girl's past. She sighed and groaned as she watched the young girl get beat, abused, raped, and much more horrible disgusting acts. She shook her head in disgust.
She knew that she didn't have much time and so she acted quickly. There was a magic that most people could only dream of; in fact, most couldn't even do that. A magic that Lily Potter managed to invoke quite by accident. Well, Maria thought, time to enact it with and on purpose.
She pushed the young red-head girl toward Luna and watched as Harry's natural Metamorphmagus abilities took hold and made young Harry look exactly like Luna. Maria then kissed young Harry on the lightning bolt scar and said, "Moonbeam," and then kissed Luna on the exact same position, "Luna," she said.
She then closed her eyes and concentrated, pouring all of her magic into the young girls, she began using both wish and love magic to create whole new memories to replace the old memories. She knew that should magic allow this, records would follow.
3rd POV
As soon as Maria Lovegood did this, magic moved from her and into the two young girls. Magic gladly accepted the sacrifice that Maria made and would change the memories of those who would otherwise stand in the way. Magic also knew that Voldemort, Tom Riddle, would not be able to stand a second protection made of love.
In fact, his very spirit was already being destroyed in all of the horcruxes. Not that anyone would know, of course. Balance had to be kept for now. Tom's followers would continue to believe he would come back.
As soon as Maria kissed Luna, the lightning bolt scar appeared on her head as well. Immediately after, the darkness left both Luna and Harry, leaving Luna and Moonbeam. Their memories safely and quickly changed, they gasped as they watched their mother's body turn to dust.
Moonbeam looked over to her long-lost sister and began to cry. It wasn't fair! She finally found her family and now her mother and father are dead? Why? Was she not good enough?
Luna held her crying sister in her arms and, with more strength then she knew she had, she pulled them both to safety.
A few minutes later, the house that Luna had called home had burned to the ground. Both Moonbeam and her watched as their parent's house was lost forever.
After what felt like forever, nine pops were heard and nine Aurors appeared after feeling such a display of power. It was no secret that Maria's family were strong Seer's and that Xenophilius' family had a long line of Metamorphmagus, minus the past few generations, at least until Luna and Moonbeam were born.
Speaking of young Moonbeam, she had been missing since her birth. Such a shame.
Kingsley Shacklebolt's POV
I was just getting off when I felt such a display of power. I concentrated and felt that it had come from the Lovegood's ancestral home. I panicked and quickly called Amelia, head of the DMLE, and together, with seven other Aurors, we apparated to the scene.
What we discovered was a shocking and confusing scene. The home of the Most Ancient & Noble House of Lovegood was destroyed and only two forms were left. Two identical forms. What? Luna and….Moonbeam?
I shook my head as I, along with Amelia, rushed over to the two forms. The other Aurors were attempting to put out the flames.
