I am not actually sure what pairing this will be. It is strongly between three contenders.
The New School Year
"Hello Luna." Harry said.
Luna looked surprised. "Hello Harry. I am surprised you said hello to me in public. No one has ever done that before."
"Well, that is what friends do." Harry stated. Luna continued to look surprised. "We are friends, right?"
"Yes, of course we are." Luna answered.
Harry got real close to Luna over the summer because he spent the last month of summer at her house. It was also the sight for his first transformation. It was painful, yes, but now there was something more there. He could feel the wolf inside of him. The closer to the full moon, the more the wolf was active. He could hardly hear the wolf after the full moon. Instead of feeling horrified, he felt oddly comforted. It was like he was never alone. Besides, the full moon let him get out a lot of stress. The rest of the stress was taken out by Luna's meditation. It turned out that werewolves could be set off quite violently if their tempers were not in check.
There were more side-effects to being a werewolf than a bad temper. For one, he had golden eyes. The plus was that he didn't have to have glasses anymore. A simple glamour could come down or a powerful wizard (such as Dumbledore) could see through it. Harry came up with the perfect solution: muggle contacts. He just picked the same emerald green he had before, and just say he traded the glasses for contacts. Since they were physical and not a illusion, they could not be seen through by wizards.
Silver was also an issue, but then he found out that Dobby was working in the Hogwarts' kitchens. He was more than willing to change the silverware to something different without telling anyone. He also was providing a huge stash of chocolate, which all werewolves seemed to have an obsession over for some reason. All Harry knew was he was eating a lot more chocolate these days.
Then there was the side-effects of the transformation. The transformation naturally made you stay up all night and not get a wink of sleep. Add to this extreme pain from the transformation, and you have a problem. Harry found he couldn't get out of bed. Then when he was doing his potions's homework, he came across a solution. Pain potions were relatively easy to make, and he found an energy potion. The energy potion was not used anymore because it made you run on barely anything in your stomach. Since Harry was used to such treatment from the Durselys, he didn't mind the side-effect at all.
"Harry, what have you done to your hair?" Hermione practically yelled. Oh yeah, his hair. He cut it really short so it wouldn't be dragging on the ground during the transformation. "And what happened to your glasses?" When did Herimone even get here? So much for his super hearing.
"It looks bloody brilliant mate." Ron gave him a thumbs up.
"Thanks Ron." Harry smiled. He could always depend on Ron with his comments. He was like Luna in the way that they didn't pay any attention to what they said. "I cut my hair over the summer Herimone because it was hot. It turned out I needed another pair of eyeglasses so I decided to trade up to contacts."
"It makes your green eyes stand out more." Luna commented.
"Who is this?" Ron pointed to Luna.
"Ron, that's rude! I am Herimone Granger. What is your name?" Herimone asked.
"Luna Lovegood. Harry and I met over the summer. So, what is red-head's name?" Luna asked.
"Ron Weasley. Nice to meet you..." Ron was looking really freaked out, but he was trying to cover it up. The only problem was Ron was horrible at covering things up. "Shouldn't we be getting on the train?"
"Yes we should." Luna then proceeded to get on the train and everyone else followed. "I've heard there is going to be dementors on the train."
"Where did you hear that?" Herimone asked.
"My dad's an editor for the Quibbler." Luna answered. "So, does anyone play wizard's chess?"
"I love that game!" Ron exclaimed.
"He's found his match!" Harry said. "I don't have to get beat by him anymore!"
And indeed, he found his match. Luna was scary good at wizard's chess, but Ron beat her in the end. He loved the game and said Luna was one of the best players he had ever played against. Meanwhile, Hermione was staring Luna down like she was a threat. Then again, she liked Ron, so that was natural, right? Besides, Luna was too young for all that romance stuff. If Hermione could just admit her feelings, he wouldn't have to sit through their squabbles.
"So, what electives are you taking Hermione?" Harry tried to lighten the atmosphere.
Hermione muttered, "All of them. What are you taking?"
"Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures." Harry answered.
"Mate, what happened to divination?" Ron asked.
"Divination is a very subjective art. It only can be taught to a few people, and I've heard Professor Trelawney is a horrible teacher. She always predicts someone's death each year." Luna answered.
"Ron, you know I don't have the best track record. You know she'll make death predictions about me." Ron nodded in agreement. "I decided to not take muggle studies because I live with muggles. What is the point?"
"So...I don't have the best track record either. How do you get into muggle studies?" Ron asked. Just following Harry around brought trouble apon you.
Hermione beamed. "You just go to your head of house and request a schedule change. I am so happy that you both are taking your studies seriously!"
"Well, Luna here is a Ravenclaw." Harry remarked. "What is that cold?"
"Dementors. They suck out all your postive emotion." Luna began shivering just as bad as Harry. The Dementors came closer, and Harry could swear he could here a women screaming. He vaguely remembered seeing Luna fall to the ground out of the corner of his eye before blacking out himself.
"Did you here the screaming?" Harry asked.
"Yes, I did." Luna answered.
"I heard nothing, but both of you were passed out on the floor." Ron said.
"We were so concerned, but then Professor Lupin came and drove the dementor away." Hermione blabbered.
"Thank you for the introduction Miss Granger. I really must be seeing the conductor, but eat the chocolate. It will help." Professor Lupin said.
Harry took the chocolate bar and gobbled it whole. "Wow, that did help."
"I don't have any chocolate." Luna cried.
"Sorry Luna." Harry looked guilty. "See, I found this chocolate over the summer and I can't get enough."
"He had a deprived childhood." Ron explained. "Do you have more chocolate for Luna?"
"Here you go, Miss?" Professor Lupin asked.
"Lovegood, Luna Lovegood."
