.:Chapter One:.
Love Always

I can't go back! Harry thought. I CAN'T go back. I have a job to do.

Harry Potter had just received word that Hogwarts would be opened this year. Harry had said just two weeks earlier that he would not go back. That was when I thought it would close. Harry decided to ask for advice from the one person who he felt he could talk to.

Dear Luna,

I'm so sorry I haven't written to you before, but I'm in need of some advice. At the end of term I promised my self that even if Hogwarts reopened I wouldn't go back. I said I would continue my search for the hocruxses, and (if I can) defeat Voldemort. I didn't however truly believe that Hogwarts WOULD reopen and now that I know it has I'm fighting my temptation desperately not to go. I feel like I'm being selfish even considering it. I hope I haven't wasted to much of your time.

Love, Harry

Harry scanned over the letter to make sure it was suitable, and realized he signed it Love, Harry. He found this odd considering he never signed his letters Love, Harry. He grabbed a new piece of parchment and rewrote his letter making sure not to include the word Love.

He told Hedwig who to send the letter to, and laid down on his bead to think. Had he really meant love as in I LOVE you? Did he LOVE Luna? He decided he was putting to much into this as he heard the familiar tap tap tap. On his window. He opened it to see Pigwidgion (Ron's owl) carrying a letter. Harry opened it to reveal an invitation to Bill and Fluer's wedding. It was to be this Friday (two days from now) at 1:00 p.m. Harry found another letter with Ron's messy hand righting that said they would pick Harry up the next day at 8:00 a.m.

Next Day

Harry woke up and glanced at the clock anxiously 7:52 a.m. The Weasleys would arrive any minute now and he still wasn't packed! He quickly dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, and threw every thing in sight in his trunk. He couldn't wait to be 17 so he could do all this with magic. At 8:00 sharp a ministry car pulled p in front of the house and Mr. Weasley stepped out, and waved at Harry who was already out the door.

At the Burrow

As Harry stepped out of the car he was surprised to see Neville waving with the Weasleys and Hermione.

Once he was settled in Harry asked Ron why Neville was here. Ron just grunted and changed the subject. Seeing as he could not get a word from Ron on the matter Harry decided to ask Hermione in stead. Hermione hesitated but answered his question. "Ginny asked him out and he didn't know WHY you broke up with her so he accepted." "I wanted to tell you, but I thought that if you saw how happy he is with her you might take it better," she added. Harry didn't have the heart to muster one of his infamous outbursts so he just forced a smile and said in a voice that was far to high to be his own, "that's great. I'm happy for him."

That Morning

Harry awoke the morning to Mrs. Weasley standing over him smiling a letter in her hand. "Hedwig came with this." She handed him the letter. He was happy to see it was from Luna.

Dear Harry,

I appreciate that you trust my advice, but I'm afraid I can't make this decision for you. It is important you make this decision on your own. I can however tell you that you would not be selfish if you came to Hogwarts, or at least I wouldn't think so considering how much I would love to see you again.

Love Always,
Luna

Harry read the letter through tree times. Her words said so much. Each letter seemed to mean so much to him. Love Always. Love Always, she could say it why couldn't he? And then he had an idea. Harry ran down the stairs as fast as he could, not even bothering to get dressed (which was a bad idea considering he had been sleeping topless) and into the kitchen where Mrs. Weasley was making breakfast. Harry didn't even wait to catch his breath before asking "Mrs. Weasley could I invite a friend to the wedding?

Mrs. Weasley was stunned by his lack of shirt but then let out a "yes," in a voice a little higher than her own. Hermione also looked stunned but Harry suspected it was because of how good he looked topless. And Harry had to admit he wasn't the skinny boy he used to be.

Harry grabbed a quill and some parchment and then realized a letter might not make it in time. So in stead Harry decided to try floo powder. Harry went back down stairs (now fully clothed) and was happy to se that the living room was empty. He lit a fire threw som floo powder in the flames stuck his head in and shouted, "The Lovegood Household!" Seconds latter he was staring out the fire place into a beautiful study. He looked around, the walls were covered with books about everything. The first thought that came to mind was that Hermione would cry tears of joy if she saw this room. In the middle of the room was a large desk, at it sat a middle aged man with a very kind face that Harry assumed was Luna's father.

"Excuse me Mr. Lovegood but could I speak to Luna?" Harry asked politely.

Mr. love good looked around trying to see where the voice was coming from, and then he saw Harry looking out of the fire. "Of course you can. I'll go get her."

A few minutes later Harry saw Luna walk into the study and band down over him. "Hi Luna!" Harry said happy her father hadn't followed her back into the study.

"Hello Harry" she said in her usual dreamy voice. Oh how he loved that voice. "what brings you hear on this fine day?" she asked.

"Well Ron's brother is getting married this afternoon and I was wondering if you would be my guest."

"I suppose, but under one condition."

"What's that?'

She smiled and then answered "I don't have to dance."

"Fine with me," he said. "Oh by the way it's at 1:00 p.m. in the Burrow." with that he pulled his head out of the fire.

Latter That Day

Harry waited beside the fire place weighting for Luna wearing his new dress robes when finally she turned up. She was wearing navy blue robes and her hair was pulled back into a bun with stands of hair framing her face. "Wow you look amazing!" he said a little louder than he had intended.

She blushed and replied, "you look amazing as well."

Harry lead Luna out side to where the wedding would be held and stopped dead in his tracks. Harry couldn't believe his eyes.
