Chapter 7: Winter Break
The castle quieted down and one by one the students left to head home. Harry was told to report to Snape's office so that he could go to Prince Manor. Harry was beyond excited, he was going to be somewhere that didn't have people staring at him.
"Hello," said a girl's voice.
Harry turned to see a pretty girl in Ravenclaw robes looking at him. "Um, hello."
"I'm Luna Lovegood," the girl said, "You must be Harry Potter."
"Yes," Harry said, "What year are you in?"
"Second," Luna answered, "I'm heading home for the holiday's."
"Me too, though I doubt I'll like it," Harry told her, thinking about the Dursley's even though he wasn't going.
"I hope that they don't give you too much trouble," Luna said, "See you in a couple of weeks."
And she was gone.
Only then did Harry realize that she didn't have any shoes on.
An hour later he was in Prince Manor and he meant to ask Snape why Luna didn't have shoes. He was sure that her father, or mother, would of packed them. Snape showed him where he would be sleeping and then told him that he would be taking Harry into town to get clothes.
"Those things in your trunk aren't clothes, their rags," Snape told him.
Harry figured that the Dursley's didn't cloth him well.
Everything was different at Prince Manor. There was a huge Library and Harry was able to read without worrying about dumb Granger and her tag along toerag hanging around. One of the great things about this was the fact that Snape always knew where he was. It was strange having a father around that cared about him but he found that he liked it.
Later that night, during his first dinner at Prince Manor, Snape asked him how he was taking to the place.
"It's great," Harry said, "And the Library is really cool."
"I'm glad that you like it, Harry," Snape told him, smiling. "Your mother loved to read."
"Really," Harry exclaimed.
Snape nodded and then Snape asked, "Do you think that you should write to your friends?"
"Which ones," Harry asked.
"Oh the ones that you've mad, not the dumb ones that you had," Snape told him.
"I'll write to them tonight," Harry promised.
"Good," Snape told him and they went back eating.
When dinner was over he pulled out several sheets of parchment and put quill to ink.
Hay Draco,
Hope that your doing well and that your Christmas holiday is a blast (sorry about using muggle terms). Everything is going well where I'm at and I don't have to worry about anything attacking me, or anyone. Can't wait to see you when term starts again.
Harry
The next letter was to Wong
Dear Wong,
I don't know how you address letters in Japan but I hope that your holiday is turning out well. I'm looking forward to meeting your mother, Professor Snape tells me that she can help me. See you when term begins again
Harry
The next one was to Professor Lupin, who he liked
Dear Lupin,
I don't know if this is proper to send a letter to your Professor but I just want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Looking forward to seeing you when term begins again and I'm okay where I'm at right now. No one attacking me.
Harry
Harry thought over who else that he wanted to write to and then he decided to write to Luna
Dear Luna,
I know that you most likely have never gotten a letter from a boy but I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. I'm looking forward to seeing you when term starts again. Oh make sure that you pack shoes.
Harry
He folded each letter and put them in the envelop to be sent off. Once they were gone he took a bath and went to bed. He would ask his father about Luna and the lack of shoes in the morning.

"Sit down, Ronald," Mr. Weasley said.
Him and Molly had gotten a letter from Dumbledore and it had arrived right before the boys did. The letter called Ron's behavior towards Harry as horrible and mentioned what had happened in Potions. Mr. Weasley couldn't believe that one of his own children would make someone reveal something so personal.
"What did I do, dad," Ron asked.
"Don't give me that, you know what you did," Mr. Weasley said, "I can't believe that our own son would do that to Harry."
He saw Ron's face go red and then Ron said, "I don't know why people believe everything he says. He betrayed Gryffindor and his parents.'
"And you did nothing to help him out," Mr. Weasley said, "It's clear that he suffered brain damage and while he's able to walk around and do things, he doesn't remember your friendship and is uncomfortable. You pushed him away because he wasn't the same Harry that you befriended. He needed your support, not your anger or hate."
"He acts like he doesn't even remember our friendship," Ron said, "And the damn Slytherin's-."
"Watch your tone, young man," Mrs. Weasley said.
"That's why they call it brain damage," Mr. Weasley told him, "Maybe you should get attacked and lose something so that you can understand what poor Harry went through."
Ron glared at him but thankfully didn't open his mouth.
"You grounded for the remainder of the holiday's," Mrs. Weasley said, "Be lucky that your getting something for Christmas."
"Room, now," Mr. Weasley said and Ron left.
"What are we going to do about him," Mrs. Weasley asked, "We didn't raise him to act like this."
"I know that and what I'm afraid of is that something bad is going to happen," Mr. Weasley said to her and Mrs. Weasley looked confused, "What I mean is that I'm afraid that Ron is going to take out on Harry what we did because of what he did at Hogwarts."
"Gods, I hope not," Mrs. Weasley said.
"I agree," Mr. Weasley said.

Harry woke up the next day and went down for breakfast. It was already waiting on him and when he sat down he saw that his father was reading 'The Daily Prophet.' Harry cleared his throat and Snape looked at him.
"I already knew that you were there, Harry," Snape told him.
"Dad, can I ask you a question," Harry asked him.
"As long as it's not stupid," Snape answered.
"Well there's this girl at Hogwarts named Luna and I noticed that she didn't have any shoes on," Harry told him, "Did her parents not pack them?"
"The Luna that's in Ravenclaw," Snape said.
"Yes," Harry answered.
"I believe that the other Ravenclaw's bully her," Snape said, "She didn't come to my class with a cauldron one time and I heard that other Ravenclaw's snickering. I've talked to Flitwick but he doesn't do anything."
"Why not," Harry asked.
"Because the Heads of House believe that it will be kids being kids," Snape answered, "Though I think that Flitwick enjoys the fact that Luna is bullied."
Harry felt rage boiling and the bottles started to shake.
"Harry, control your anger," Snape warned.
"Sorry," Harry said, and the bottles stopped shaking, "It's just that, sometimes, I remember being bullied by the Dursley's and it's not right."
"I know it's not right," Snape said, "But Luna's father has no power to cause change."
Harry thought this over and then said, "If Luna's father can't change things then maybe the famous Harry Potter can."
Snape looked at him and then asked, "What are you planning?"
"I want to talk to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement," Harry told him.
"And why?"
"I want to change something at Hogwarts," Harry told him, "And I want to make sure that people know that I'm doing this to benefit everyone."
"Very well, I'll have a talk with Madam Bones," Snape said.
"Thanks," Harry said and then he went back to his breakfast.
Harry could tell that Madam Bones was shocked that she was being summoned. However she accepted the invite and arrived at Prince Manor. Harry told her what's been going on at Hogwarts and how he had met a girl name Luna Lovegood that was being bullied and her things being taken.
"The girl that my niece calls Loony," Madam Bones said.
"And why do they call her that," Harry demanded.
"Because she's odd," Madam Bones said.
"Well I was called freak at home and I didn't like it," Harry said, "No child should be bullied and no Head of House should allow it. Professor Flitwick refuses to do anything about it and I want something done."
"What do you suggest?"
"I suggest that you make it against the rules to bully people," Harry said, "I want a stiff punishment for bullying."
"And what punishment might that be?"
"Expelling the student and making the family pay a fine," Harry answered, "If someone can't act like their parents taught them anything then they shouldn't be around people."
"I agree with Harry," Snape said, "I was bullied at home and at school. It's not fun and it's not fair."
"I'll talk to the school governors about this," Madam Bones said, "I will tell my niece to stop calling Luna that word."
"Thank you," Harry said and Madam Bones left.
"Your mother would be so proud of you," Snape told him and Harry felt that Snape was right.
