"Harry, were you at the room of requirement again?" Hermione asked Harry as he walked into the common room.

"No, I was walking around the grounds when I saw Luna on top of green house four." Harry told her.

"What was she doing up there?" Ron laughed.

"Looking for a Veritaseppia." Harry told them.

"Another one of her made up animals." Ron sniggered, and to both of their surprise Hermione answered,

"Actually no, Veritaseppia are real, rare, but real. What did she want to know Harry?" Harry felt uncomfortable as he explained,

"She wanted to know if she was going to forget her mother." There was an awkward silence between all of them. Luna was so happy-go-lucky all the time they forgot about the unfortunate accident that resulted in her mothers' death.

"So Harry, do you understand Snape's homework, Hermione won't help me." Ron broke the silence.

"You mean I won't let you copy." Hermione shot back. And they resumed talking, (and between Ron and Hermione fighting) until they gave up on their homework and went to bed.

The next day Harry was walking to his Transfiguration class and he saw Luna, almost smiling he asked,

"Did you find a Veritaseppia?"

"No." She informed him, "A Veritaseppia found me."

"Really, did it answer your question?" It automatically popped out, he wished he hadn't said anything, but it was too late.

"Yes, it turns out that I won't forget my mother at all." She smiled as if she had just won the lottery.

"Well that's good news." Said Harry awkwardly.

"It answered another question too." Luna looked at him with wide eyes, "It said you really were my friend, and not just pretending."

"Well I could have told you that." Harry laughed.

"You could have also lied." Luna reasoned. Harry thought that Luna was really a lot smarter than people took her for.

"Did it tell you anything else?" Harry wondered.

"I didn't ask it anything else." She then walked away leaving Harry standing there, for a minute before he realized he was going to be late for Transfiguration.

Later that night in the common room Harry told Ron and Hermione about he conversation with Luna.

"That's amazing that she was able to find a Veritaseppia, not many people have even seen one, let alone had one answer their questions, it's said that the person must open minded, and understanding." Hermione informed them.

"Well that's Luna alright." Harry agreed.

"So who are you going to ask to Slughorn's party?" Ron asked Harry changing the subject.

"I dunno." Harry was half considering not asking anyone, then the idea popped into his head to ask Luna, but he dismissed it instantly, and it wasn't too long before Hermione started nagging them to do their homework, and they started it begrudgingly, and when he went to bed all thoughts of Luna where driven from his mind. But back in her own bed, Luna was having a very pleasant dream that involved Slughorn's party, secret confessions, and a stolen kiss.

A/N if you are like me and refuse to see any hinting of a ship that is not your own, you can pretend that her date was Maclagen, that's why I left it open
