Prologue
(Harry)
"Please? Can I have dance lessons?" Young Harry Potter begged to his godfather Sirius.
"No, I told you many times and the answer is still no!" he said writing a letter.
"Why not?" Harry asked Remus who was reading.
Remus looked up from his book.
"Well…because…because…well, dancing is sort of for girls only." Remus said nervously.
"But I promise I will practice every day. And I won't quit after the first year, I promise." Harry said
"Harry, the answer is-"Sirius began
"Please? I won't ask for anything else." Harry interrupted
"I know you want to, but-"
"I promise. Besides, there are many boys who dance and-"
"ENOUGH! Harry, you are not getting dance lessons and that's final!" Sirius said angrily
"Alright. I won't ask anymore." Harry mumbled going to his room. He flopped himself on the bed and sniffled
"It's not fair! I want to dance really badly. How can they not see that I want to dance?" He sobbed to himself
He covered himself up and closed his eyes.
Meanwhile…
Remus looked up at Sirius; he looked at him with sympathy in his eyes.
"You do realize you just crushed his dreams?" He said
Sirius looked at Remus, he sighed while putting down his quill.
"I know I shouldn't have been harsh with him. But, ever since he saw that girl dancing…I…just don't want him to be bullied about it." He said finally
"I know you care deeply for him. I do too, but he needs to choose his own paths. Paths that will lead him to greatness." Remus said putting a hand on Sirius' shoulder.
"
3 Hours Later…
Harry woke up and checked his clock. He had been asleep for 3 hours. He went downstairs and saw Sirius and Remus by the fire.
"Sit, Harry. We need to talk to you." Sirius said pointing to a stool.
Harry sat down, he felt nervous at what his godfather would tell him
"Yes?" he asked.
"We have been talking about your behavior after you asked for dance lessons" Remus said, "We want you to have a good childhood considering…everything. We finally agreed to give you what you wanted. As long as you practice every day and do your best."
Harry almost fell out of his seat.
"Y-you mean it?" he asked.
He wondered if he was dreaming.
Sirius nodded his head.
He couldn't believe it! They were letting him have dance lessons. He knew that he wasn't dreaming. He got up and hugged his loving godfather and Remus.
(Luna)
"Luna, I want talk to you." Luna's father called.
"Yes, father?" Luna asked sitting on the couch.
"I haven't heard you play your violin around the house. Is everything alright?" he asked
"Yes, lessons are fine and my teacher says I'm wonderful." She paused, "But, ever since what happened with mom. I feel like the magic in the music is gone."
Luna's father looked at her; he knew she missed her mother deeply. They always had been so close, and after the tragic accident leading to her mom's death. She had become a very quiet girl.
"You know she is never gone. I know it's hard for you, but her spirit is in the music you play. She wants you to play, I can feel it." He said hugging her
Luna looked at her father; there was a sparkle of hope in his eyes. She nodded her head.
"Okay, I'll try." She said going to her room.
Mother's spirit is in the music, I just have to believe Luna thought to herself.
Luna closed the door and took out her violin, a beautiful auburn color, and put the shoulder rest on it. She then took out her bow, tightened it, and put rosin on it. She held the violin up, and turned to Pachelbel Canon in G.
She took a deep breath, and began. She felt the smooth tempo, reminding of the time Luna and her mother going on a trip to the Oceanside. The smooth, calm waters flowing like the half notes on the page. The waves softly lapping up onto the shore like the slurred eighth notes. And her mother, slowing walking towards her in time to the quarter notes. And the winding blowing through her hair as the music got louder. But then, her mother pulled Luna into warm longing embrace just as she reached the fermata. The memory faded as she got softer.
By then, tears were forming. She put her violin down, and sat on her bed. Her mother was in the music. She felt the happiest memory of her mother on the music sheet. Her mother had never left her; she had found her way on the pages of the book.
Luna grabbed the photograph of her mother, with a smile so gentle on her face.
"You'll never leave me, I know that now." She whispered, "And I'll never leave you."
She felt as though someone touched her shoulder. And she had the feeling someone was watching over her. She couldn't see her, but Luna's mother was standing there, with a smile on her face and hope shining in her eyes.
She whispered softly "I will always be with you, no matter what."
