Chapter 1
The Meeting, and the Truth.
Luna Malfoy, a girl almost the age of seventeen, entering her 7th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She kept her head tucked down as she pushed her cart through the platforms 9 and 10 as she headed to the train. She could hear all the whispers from her fellow classmates already. All talking about her family, how her brother Draco wound up in Azkaban along with her father. Her mother avoiding the same punishment by being pregnant. Luna ignored all the whispers, used to them by now, but still unable to hold her head high with pride as a Malfoy should. Keeping her head down, she was unknowingly heading straight for a boy of her own age. At the very last second, she managed to raise her eyes, but was not fast enough to stop her cart from colliding into his.
"Oh! Oh my! I am so so sorry!" Luna frantically said as she ran around to help him back up.
As Luna looked up into the face of the person she ran into, she realizes it was Harry Potter, a tall 17 year old starting his 7th year and in Gryffindor house with medium length brown hair, wearing glasses.
"It's alright. Are you ok?" asked Harry as she helped him up. He started to stack his luggage back onto the cart and offered to help Luna stack her stuff back onto her cart.
"Yes. I'm quite alright!" Luna smiled brightly at Harry for showing her some kindness when everyone else only stared and spoke in hushed tones. "Are you alright? Oh, I could have fixed my cart myself! You didn't have to."
Luna brushed off her jeans and crouched next to her cart and started cooing into one of the cages sitting atop her luggage. She turned and found that Harry hadn't moved an inch from where she left him. She smiled shyly and stood up, outstretching her hand in his direction.
"My name is Luna, Slytherin house. Nice to meet you!" Worried that Harry would dislike her for being associated with her family she left out her last name.
"Harry Potter, Gryffindor house. Nice to meet you." he replied, shaking her hand. He looked at the time and quickly grabbed his cart. "We should hurry, we have 5 minutes to board the train." Harry told Luna as he ran at the wall of 9 3/4, vanishing through it. Luna placed her wand behind her left ear again, grabbed her cart and dashed through the wall. She appeared to the smell of burning coal and looked through the throng of people searching for a recently familiar head of brown hair. Spotting him, her face lit up and she smiled dreamily, she headed towards him and nearly ran into him again before coming to a stop. Her big, bright blue eyes danced with happiness as she smiled at her new friend. Harry laughed at almost being hit again.
"Let's go ahead then." He said as he climbed onto the train with a few of the luggage. Harry walked through the corridor looking for an empty compartment. When he finally came across one, he slid the door open and walked inside. He placed his suitcase onto the storage above and then sat down near the window. As Harry stared out the window, watching other Hogwarts students board the train, and first years clinging to their parents he heard a light tap at his compartment door. He turned and saw Luna standing there.
This time, he actually took a few seconds to look at her. She was of average height, around 5"4'. She had a slim frame, small waist yet somehow her breasts weren't small in the slightest. His gaze lingered there a moment longer and then let his eyes move up towards her face. She had a slim neck and a barely noticable proud tilt to her chin. She had full pink lips that she was currently worrying with her perfect white teeth. She had a small dainty nose and big blue eyes that always looked glazed over and were always shining with happiness. Her long blonde hair flowed over her shoulders and reached to her waist, she had straight bangs that reached the edges of her eyelashes and covered her forehead. She had pale almost porcelian skin that shined with Luna's beauty and made her look almost like an angel.
"Uhm..Harry?" Harry jumped at the sound of her voice and looked into her eyes. "Would you mind if I sat with you? Everywhere else is either full or just...unwelcoming." She smiled shyly at him and her cheeks flushed slightly. She looked down at the floor and worried her lip.
"Erm. Of..Of course you can, Luna! There's plenty of room." He offered her a smile and moved to grab her luggage for her.
"Oh! No, Harry. It's quite all right. I can handle them."She grabbed her suitcase and moved it next to Harry's on the luggage rack. She bent down and picked up her purse and a pet carrier, placing them on the seat opposite Harry's and placing herself next to them. Harry watched her move, dancing gracefully through the compartment settling down for the voyage back to school.
She pulled her legs up onto the seat and tucked them underneath her. She reached over and opened up the pet carrier, she patted the open space next to her and watched as a small black kitten climbed out of the carrier. The kitten stopped and turned it's tiny head towards him. It's big green eyes bore into his, and Harry couldn't help but think that is not just a kitten, it's eyes have too much intelligence in them to belong to an everyday feline. The kitten padded over and curled up next to Luna, she gazed down at the kitten with that dreamy look in her eyes and smiled. Her eyes shot up to the carrier and her smile widened. She clicked her tongue and held out her arm and Harry shrank back into his seat when a huge snake slid out and wound it's way up to settle around Luna's neck. Luna held her dreamy smile and closed the carrier, setting it on the floor.
Harry turned to stare out the window in deep thought as the train passed through the forest and a huge lake.
"Harry..We're nearly to school and you've hardly said a word. Are you alright?" Luna asked, concern etching her features.
"I'm fine, just thinking of what I'm going to be taking this year." he replied, jumping a bit at the sudden break of silence.
"Oh. Alright. Well, since we're near to school I'm going to go change into my robes. I'll be back!" Luna placed the snake and kitten back into the pet carrier, grabbed her suitcase and left the compartment. She returned a few minutes later wearing black robes with emerald green edgings, a white dress shirt, an emerald and black striped tie, and bright red shoes. She had a prefect badge pinned underneath her Slytherin house patch. Her hair was pulled back and tied with a red and gold ribbon.
"I might as well change too." Harry said. He retrieved his robes from his luggage and left. A few minutes later he returned in black robes outlined with red and gold, the crest of Gryffindor glowing softly in the light, a white shirt and a red and gold tie. He sat across from Luna after he put his other clothes away.
"Oh! Here!" Luna jumped up from her seat and fished something out of her pocket. After pulling out whatever she was looking for she moved to sit next to Harry. She grabbed the lapel of his robes and pushed a pin through it. She flattened his robes against him and leaned back admiring her work. Her eyes glazed over and she smiled in that always present dreamy way. The crest of Slytherin shined against the black of Harry's robes. "It's a sign of our friendship. I have one as well." Luna beamed at him, while referring to the ribbon in her hair.
"Th-Thank you Luna." Harry stammered out. He moved a hand up and layed it over the Slythering pendant Luna had given him, blushing at remembering her so boldyly pinning it onto his robes. Harry and Luna both jumped about a foot in the air when there was a knock on their compartment door. They both turned to see the Head Boy, Neville Longbottom standing there. Harry smiled and waved at his friend. A small smile appeared on the other's boys face and he nodded in greetings.
"The train will be arriving in ten minutes. Meet at the gates. Malfoy, you'll need to help lead the first years to the boats, if you would, please" Neville informed them. Luna nodded and looked at the ground. She could see that Neville was uncomfortable speaking to her. What with her Aunt Bellatrix and what her and her husband did to Neville's parents. Neville looked at Harry curiously before leaving and knocking on the next door. Harry turned to Luna with a shocked face.
"Malfoy? What does he mean Malfoy?" He questioned. Staring into Luna's blue eyes with his emerald green ones with such intesity that Luna had to look away. Luna mumbled a reply and moved to gather her things together. "Luna, tell me, please." Harry pleaded. Luna turned to look at him with watery eyes.
"Draco Malfoy is my brother. Twin brother actually. Lucius is my father and Narcissa my mother. I can understand if you don't wish to be my friend anymore, Harry." She picked up all her things just as the train came to a stop. "Keep the pin, it's a gift." With that, she slid open the door and disappeared down the corridor.
Harry sat in his seat, struck frozen. Luna Malfoy? How had he never seen her with Draco? How had he never knew of her before?
