With hearing the door bell ring Harry looked at the clock. 'Two in the morning! Who the hell would be here at this hour.' And with that Harry got up and made his way down the stair case and smiled at the fact that the Dursley's had left. 'I'll have to get something to eat once I see who's at the door.'

Harry approached the door wand at the ready and flung the door open to find that the mysterious happened to be one Miss. Luna Lovegood.

"Hey Harry." Luna said to him once he lowered his wand.

"Um good evening Luna, may I ask why you're here."

"I'm here to take you home with me of course." She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Well as much as I would like to rid of these people I can't exactly with good old Dumbles and his order of the overcooked chickens, now can I."

"Of course you can Harry your just not thinking. Dung has your guard shift tonight and is passed out cause he's so pissed and if any others are 'guarding' you tonight you can just use your cloak to get out unseen, meet me in the back yard when you have all the stuff your gonna need."

About fifteen minutes later Luna was pacing in Harry's back yard (if you could call it that) the back of the house didn't look too much different than the front only it had a little shed over to side when Luna looked inside all she saw was a gasoline lawn mower and a sheet laid out on the ground over to one corner.

'I wonder what the sheet is for.' Just then Harry came into the back yard with his school trunk in one hand and Hedwig's cage in the other.

"Well, well, well if it isn't my favorite 'Boy-Who-Lived'." Luna said as she spotted him coming out of the house.

"Sod off Luna you know I hate that name." Harry replied with a smirk marrying his face.

"Hey!" She said while wiggling her finger at him. "You don't have to be mean about it." She put on a fake pout but hade amusement laced in her voice and this made Harry smile even wider.

"So Luna you haven't exactly told me where I'm supposed to be going with you."

"Oh that's right I haven't yet sorry Harry, my father has set up a port key to take us to somewhere safe. Here touch the ring." Luna said while extending her hand with the ring on it to Harry.

"Um well ok." Harry replied albeit a bit timidly and he touch his index finger to the top of the ring which had an L with an old gothic style to it and a rose coming from each side of the L.

Harry felt the familiar pull behind his navel and soon he was spinning madly although he was able to stay up right with only a little wobble when they landed.

"Man I'll never get used to port keys." Harry said while trying to keep from spewing the contents of his stomach. "Luna where are we?"

"Welcome to Lovegood Manor otherwise known as my home."

Harry stood completely still with only his eyes moving while in complete awe of the building in front of him. Lovegood Manor itself was not huge but it was a three story home on about an acre of land with a cobble stone path leading down to the forest the rimmed and lake that Harry could see through a break in the foliage. The home itself was painted in a Hufflepuff worthy violet paint that oddly came close to matching Luna's eyes. The door of the home was made of cherry wood so naturally it was a deep red the harry thought went well with the paint of the outside.

Luna grabbed Harry by the hand and led him inside into the living room which wasn't exactly a living room well at least by muggle standards, it had a nice couch that seem to be made of a black dragon hide with two matching chairs off to each side of the couch and an equally black coffee table in the center of the room. There was a book case off in one corner all the titles seemed to be about magical animal hunting and camping and the like. The walls were a light blue and had a border of the Hufflepuff coat of arms. All in all Harry was amazed.

"Luna your house is beautiful!" Harry told Luna with a big goofy grin on his face which Luna just giggled at.

"Thank you Harry." She said with a blush creeping up her neck. "My dad is going to be gone for a day or two so we have the house to ourselves for a while. Here let me show you up to my room where you will be staying-."

"WHAT!" Harry exclaimed as he cut Luna off. "What would your father think anyway he doesn't exactly know me and I don't think he would appreciate us sleeping in the same room.

"Don't be so daft Harry my father was the one who suggested it." Luna simply said.

"uh..um…well…I guess uh.. I guess if your dad says its ok…" Harry said with a lump in his throat.

Harry and Luna stayed up for another hour or so chatting and talking about how Harry had broken his uncle's nose and how his uncle had repeatedly beaten him as a child and all the emotion torture they put him through during his younger years they both ended up falling asleep together on the black dragon hide couch with Luna wrapped in Harry's arms.

Luna woke several hours after her and Harry fell asleep on the couch her back cuddled into harry with his arms around her waist and their legs wrapped up together. 'Wow I haven't felt this warm and safe since mom died.' and with that thought a single tear trickled down her face. Harry reached his hand up and wiped the single tear from her face and he whispered into her ear. "What's wrong Luna." His warm breath against her ear made her shudder.

"It's nothing Harry I was just thinking I've never felt as warm or as safe as I do with you since my mother died it's dumb I know but…." She trailed off.

"That's not dumb Luna but if it helps you will always be safe with me." He replied and gave her his trademark lop-sided grin.

"Thanks Harry." She smiled then lifted her head up and lightly kissed his cheek.

Harry felt a blush try to creep up his neck and to try and keep her attention away from it he asked. "So what do you want to do today?"

"Well I was thinking we could just talk for a little while… I mean if that's ok with you." Her violet orbs met his emerald ones and he felt his stomach do a full back flip. 'What was that about?' He thought before he recovered.

"Of course Luna we can talk I enjoy talking to you." She smiled. "But you have to let me make a omelet." Her smile got bigger and he couldn't help but smile back making blushed and reluctantly pulled out of his arms automatically wanting him to hold her again. "Why don't I go get changed and you start on the omelets and after you can do the same." And with that she sauntered off to her room on the third room.

'Well I better go get started on breakfast.' He thought smiling to himself while rubbing the spot she kissed.

Luna walked into the kitchen and her nostrils filled with the smell of eggs cheese and even a little green pepper. She walked up behind Harry and wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his back. "Thank you Harry."

"What for Luna?" He asked

"For being there for me all through last year… you were the first real friend since I came to Hogwarts." She said.

"Luna you would do the same for me and I don't know why no one wants to be your friend your one of the greatest people I know your always there to listen for me the only other person who did that was Hermione and she went off with that git Ron. Jealous bastard" He mumbled the end to himself but she still caught it and just sighed

"Harry I… well um…" She stumbled.

"What is it Luna?"

"I just wanted to thank you properly." And with that she spun harry around and got on her tip toes and lightly pressed her lips to his. Harry was shocked but soon found himself and slid his arms around her waist and she readjusted hers around his neck.

They stayed pressed together until she pulled back and was panting slightly and spoke. "Harry I think I… I think I…."
