Yeah I'm updating as much as I can before I go back to school. Once I'm in school next week I will probably update a twice a week. I would rather continue this then listen to all the rules and stuff in school. I promise I won't stop this :) so no worries. Hakuna Matata!
Disclaimer: Nah, Harry Potter is Jo's, I just obsess over it.

Harry and Luna had been packed for a week before they had to leave. They only took the clothes they needed out of their trunks. So when September 1st came around they sat eating their breakfasts calmly as the Weasleys rushed to get everything packed.
"Are you two packed?" Remus asked as he sat next to them.
"No, Moony, we just left our stuff everywhere and waited 'til the last minute." Harry said sarcastically.
"Of course we're packed. Wouldn't want the Gimjungers to start eating our socks." Luna said dreamily. Harry smiled fondly at her as Remus raised an eyebrow towards Padfoot.
"Of course. What on Earth was I thinking." Remus muttered under his breath. Padfoot nodded, causing shaggy pieces of fur to fall into his eyes.
"Right, are you all ready?" asked. 11 "Yes'" called back. They hustled to the train station.
"Where's your trunks?" Hermione asked.
"In our pockets." Luna responded. Hermione huffed at her, they didn't hit it off well in this time either.
Harry and Luna pulled in front of everyone and started whispering to each other.
"Do you think it'll happen again this year?" Harry whispered, looking towards her.
"I do. No matter what we try to do to prevent it, it has to happen." Luna said as she looked towards him. Harry sighed in resignation.
"You're right, of course. Did you get our dress robes?" Harry asked as they turned to go into the station.
"Yes. You're going to look so handsome." Luna cooed at him. Harry smiled mischievously at her as they got to the platform.
"Okay, Harry, Luna, you first." directed towards the two who were already walking toward the pillar. They were talking about going Crumpled Horned Snorkack hunting the next summer. They leaned into the barrier easily and continued their conversation.
"Maybe we can use muggle music to attract them." Harry suggested. Luna tilted her head, thinking.
bustled them and hugged them all, Harry twice. She gave them their sandwiches and told them to hurry on board. Charlie said he'd see them later which had Hermione and Ron confused. Harry and Luna were trying to do a quiz in the Quibbler.
"'If you have 7 apples and you take 3 away but eat 1 how many do you have?'" Luna read aloud.
"2?" Harry guessed. Luna looked at him then back at the question. She smiled at him.
"Very good Harry. You're getting much better. Maybe those wrackspurts have finally left your brain completely." Luna said dreamily. Harry just hummed in agreement. Hermione scoffed at them. Ron was too busy stuffing his face to even notice who was talking.
It was peaceful for about an hour until Malfoy decided to bug them.
"Well if it isn't Scarhead, the mudblood and the Weasel. And who is this?" Draco looked towards Luna. Luna smiled at him and squeezed Harry's hand. Harry was close to hyperventilating.
The final battle Malfoy appeared next to Harry. Harry was going to shoot a curse at him but Draco saved his life. He put up a shield behind Harry to save him from a curse Voldemort shot at Harry's back. The curse was so full of dark magic it drained Draco's magic and energy. He collapsed to the floor, exhausted. Harry was shocked, his arch enemy from first year just saved his life. He barely saw Lucius yell in disgrace at his son before killing him. He heard Draco yell to him, "Save us, Harry." Then he was gone.
This child in front of him saved his life. He didn't hate Malfoy. He considered him one of the greatest heroes of the war. He wanted to be civil to him and gain his trust before he turns to the Dark. Luna looked at him and nodded, catching his thoughts. Harry cleared his throat and stood up.
"Malfoy, can I talk to you privately?" Harry asked politely. Malfoy looked surprised but narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
"What about, Potter?" He said suspiciously. Harry just shook his head and led him to the hallway. Harry put up a secrecy ward around them and looked towards Malfoy. His hands were sweaty. He wished Luna were there.
"Look, we're getting too old for this rivalry. I want to call a truce. I'm sorry for everything I've ever said and if you don't want to be friends I hope we can stop hating each other. I don't hate you, Draco." Harry said sincerely. Draco looked at him, calculating.
"You got yourself a deal, Potter." Draco held out his hand.
"Call me Harry." Harry said as he shook Draco's hand. They went back to Harry's compartment. Draco left quietly with Crabbe and Goyle. Ron and Hermione looked confused as Harry just sighed and lay on Luna's lap.
"Can I sleep on you?" Harry asked, looking up into big silver-gray eyes. Luna looked at Harry's puppy dog eyes and sighed.
"Okay but expect to be woken a half hour before we stop." Luna warned. Harry just smiled and went to sleep. Luna ran her fingers through his hair soothingly.
"What just happened?" Ron asked to Hermione.
"I have no idea." She admitted and went back to her book. Ron shrugged and ate more candy.
The rest of the ride went in peace and as Luna promised, she woke Harry up a half hour before they got there. Harry sighed and dressed into his robes without a fuss.
When they got there Harry, Ron, Hermione and Luna all waved to Hagrid. They got a carriage together but not before Harry and Luna petted the thestrals and fed them an apple. Harry looked up at Hogwarts from the carriage and shut off his emotions. Luna sighed, this was going to be a long night. She, too, looked up at Hogwarts. It was their home before it was attacked. Last they saw of it, it was rubble. Luna rubbed soothing circles on Harry's back.
They were home.
I have a horrible headache and am super tired. I'll post again tomorrow. I'm just making up Luna's creatures now. :3
