Chapter 3: End of the day

They left the strange muggle restaurant and Luna decided that it was best if she told Harry what they were doing for the rest of the day.

"Ok Harry, now that we both look like muggles were going to do some basic door to door work, asking if anyone seen anything strange" Harry was unfortunately not paying attention, Luna sighed inside her head, he was clearly thinking of Ginny again.

She supposed it was the downside of his personality, the same strength that let him slay a basilisk when on deaths door, summon a Patronus at age thirteen, snatch a dragon egg from right under it noses and drag Cedrics body back to Hogwarts when he could barely stand, also made him very vulnerable to depression. Highs and lows, hand in hand about summed up Harry's character That was a nice saying come to think of it, perhaps she could make a poem based on it latter, but anyway Harry Potter.

"Luna, what were you saying"? Harry asked rather politely while she was mid thought, Luna was thankful that Harry had grown out his tendency to be rather unhelpful and shout at people when he was upset, he had obviously come to realise that no amount of shouting was going to make things better, which was nice really, because it meant Harry was a nice caring man and not a nice caring, occasionally shouting rather loudly teenager any more.

"Luna?" Harry asked again.

"Ah yes Harry were going to do some door to door work, asking people questions and see if anything strange has happened to them"

"Yes yes, obviously, but how should we introduced our self?"

"Harry Potter and Luna Lovegood?" she asked Harry, who was still slightly depressed looking, Luna sometime worried what would happen to Harry if he didn't have good friends to help him when he got really depressed.

"No that won't do, we need a name that the muggles will understand as meaning, dealing with strangeness… what about, Moonlions Paranormal Investigation?"

Luna thought the name over, Moonlions, well she supposed that the moon part was a play on her name, Luna meaning moon, and the lion part, she never seen Harry celebrating his birthday at Hogwarts, so that meant it was in all probability in one of the holidays, at a guess it could be the summer ones, which is what the star sign Leo fell into, Leo being a lion, that was the likely reason behind the lion in Moonlions. Paranormal was the word muggles used for anything they could considered strange, like that yeti she had read about, which was clearly the none crumpled horned snorklack, but the muggles had clearly never heard of either, so they called it yeti instead, which Luna had to make a mental note of, and the investigation part was obvious in origin, there were after all investigating things.

"I like it" she said with a happy grin. And with that Moonlions Paranormal Investigation started there work.

Things started off only mildly interesting, they spent most of the afternoon walking down the streets of London and asking muggles politely if they needed help from the Moonlions Paranormal Investigation team and more often that not they got doors shut in there face with remarks like "take your new age stuff elsewhere" and "look, Moulder and Scully, we don't have any weirdness here". However they did eventually find a muggle in need and when they did, Luna noticed that Harry's eye seem to sparkle, well not literally sparkle, more start being happy and stop looking depressed over Ginny's death. Of course if they did start to sparkle then Luna would have to put some flour over his head, this being the best way to deal with sparkle fairies.

The middle age muggle man bent down to talk to Harry and Luna quietly.

"Ok your going laugh" he look up and down the street several times "but I'm sure there's a little man in my garden, and he got sharp looking teeth." Harry looked towards Luna and nodded at her meaningfully, clearly he had come to the same conclusion as her, it was a rogue garden gnome.

The two of them of them made there way to the muggles back garden and Harry told him to go inside and let Luna use the power of pyramids to get rid of the little man. While Luna wasn't entirely sure if Harry knew that the real powers of pyramids was completely useless against garden gnomes due to there uncanny immunity to all forms of pyramid magic, but clearly neither did the muggle as he went inside and closed his curtains.

"Right a simple stunner spell should do the trick, and then we can take it a safe distance away and release it" Said Harry. Harry then went around the garden (with his wand out of course) and after a minute or so, came back with the stunned gnome. Harry then put the gnome in a bag Luna conjured and with a simple good bye to the much relived muggle, took the gnome to a old fallen down house were it could live without scaring any muggles (Harry was always rather thoughtful when it came to things like this, Luna thought).

The rather interesting thing was that this didn't happen once, but six times. Luna smelled a conspiracy and knew that daddy was going to be rather happy with Harry and hers first article.

After all of this Luna was feeling rather tired and her feet hurt rather badly too. Her watch told her it was seven thirty eight pm, which by her definition, was certainly time for supper. It didn't take Luna too much effort to persuade Harry to stop by her house for tea; through she noticed he couldn't summon his Patronus to send Mrs Weasly a message, which made him rather depressed sadly. So Luna focused on the rather jolly times when she was part of DA and sent her big kitty Patronus to tell Mrs Weasly that Harry would be late coming home.
