A/N: Okay, I'm listening to Granger Danger right now, so this might be a little odd...I need to listen to more serious things when I write. Like Wizard Wrock. I am a NERD. And I LOVE it. The end A/N is a few days after this...so...yeah.

The house was clean, the cookies were in the oven, and the table was set up for five adults and one boy.

Harry breathed slowly. This afternoon, Luna was going to come over, along with Draco and his wife, Eloise. He was so stressed.

"Scorp, they'll be coming soon!" He called upstairs, but wasn't shocked when he got no response.

It was the next day. Scorpius now seldom spoke to anybody in the Potter household, much to his parents' dismay. No matter how much they pleaded, Scorpius would never speak, aside from the absolutely necessary.

The doorbell rang. Tense, Ginny dropped her glass of homemade butterbeer as Harry walked slowly to the door, peeking out of the window. He breathed a sigh of relief. No Malfoy. Yet.

He opened his door. "Luna!" he greeted, then stopped short.

Luna had...changed. Her hair for start, was stark-black. Her protuberant eyes were now lined with kohl and red color contacts covered her gray pupils. Luna's clothing was all black, with a chain as a necklace.

"Hello, Luna..." Harry said hesitantly. "You...changed, a bit,"

Luna nodded, not a trace of happiness in her now raspy voice. "Harry," she said, sounding like Jim Dale's impression of her, rather than what she actually sounded like.

"Well – why don't you come in," Harry told her slowly, and led the girl he used to know into the kitchen.

Thundering down the stairs, and there was Scorpius, his face impassive. Luna, as dark as she was, brightened as he approached.

"Scorpius?" Luna said in wonder. "How you've grown!"

"Are you my mother?" Scorpius asked, his eyes wide. "My real mother?"

Luna nodded. "I am, Scorp," she said gaily. "That's what I called you as a baby, you know,"

"That's what Harry and Ginny call me!" Scorpius exclaimed.

Harry and Ginny?

Harry's face blanched. Every syllable that Scorpius uttered was a low blow to his heart.

You weren't unhappy with us before! He wanted to shout. You loved us.

Until I screwed all up. But was it really that bad?

Apparently so. Scorpius didn't even glance at his parents as he led Goth Luna into the kitchen. Ginny took in her new look with wide eyes.

Luna was as observant as ever. "I look like this, so as to attract Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way-clonsie-bugs."

"Oh," Ginny looked relieved and confused, but accepted the girl's explanation. "Tea?" she offered.

Harry pulled Scorpius out into the hallway for a minute. It was hard, Scorpius wouldn't tear his eyes from Luna. Harry physically dragged the boy away from the bustling.

"Why are you being so stubborn?" Harry demanded when they were alone. "I lose my temper once, and now you don't want anything to do with me!"

Scorpius merely looked at him. He raised one eyebrow maddeningly.

On the very edge of a Harry Tantrum, Harry just though his hands in the air, and left him in the hall. "I can't control your feelings," he called over his shoulder bitterly. "Do what you want."

And then the doorbell rang.

A shiny blond head was visible at the doorway.

Everybody tensed.

Except for Scorpius, who flung the door open.

A/N: I felt bad for changing Luna, but it just had to be done. At least she keeps the Ebony Dark-ness Dementia Raven Way-clonsie bugs away :D Hidden joke. Hidden joke.
It's pretty late right now, and I'm writing nonstop, so...yeah. *awkwardly leaves*
