Dumbledore Gets Ripped a New One

By: Sheltie


I don't own Harry Potter at all


A/N: here's the 8th chap of this series. The Moon child has risen. This one took me a long while to think of since Luna is so unique. It's not very easy for me to write Luna. So I have to take my time to write her in what I feel is right for her character. Hope you like it.


Luna Lovegood

Dumbledore was busy going over his many schemes he had for one Harry Potter. He was so wrapped up in them that he didn't notice his door open and in came a lithe blond skipping and humming. It was the humming that got Dumbledore's attention after a few moments.

"Miss Lovegood, what brings you here?" he asked in his patent grandfather tone.

Luna's misty bluish-grey eyes were unfocused as a smile played on her lips.

"Oh, I have information that might interest you" she chirped.

Dumbledore, always eager for information, leaned forward.

"What is it?" he asked with intrigue.

"Nu-uh, not telling" Luna said in a childish voice.

Dumbledore frowned at this.

"Miss Lovegood, I need this information. It's for the greater good" he said.

"Nope, not telling" Luna said like a defiant child.

Dumbledore's blue eyes locked onto Luna's eyes and he entered her mind. What he didn't see was Luna's wide victorious smile.

/Scene Break/

Dumbledore blinked as he looked around at his surroundings. He had no clue where he was really. He was pretty sure he was in Miss Lovegood's mind, but what he was seeing made no sense whatsoever. In front of him was a winding yellow brick road and around him was a wide open field, but the long swaying grass wasn't green instead it was blue that looked like waves on an ocean. It even sounded like the ocean, smell like it too. This boggled the old wizard's mind, but he shook his head. He had a mission here.

"Greetings, Long Goat Beard."

The old wizard looked up and in a nearby tree that he had missed til now up there on a branch was an overly large cat lying on a branch with a huge Cheshire cat smile. It was dark purple with lighter purple strips like a tiger.

"Hello, who might you be?" Dumbledore asked.

"Who am I? Yes, I believe that's a simple question, but who are you is a better question I know who I am, but I do not know who you are" the cat said.

Dumbledore frowned at this.

"I am Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and Chief Mugwump of the ICW" he said.

"Oh my, so many titles indeed. It is amazing that you can fit all that on your business card, oh yes. I'll bet they charge you by the letter and make a pretty profit from it" the cat said.

Dumbledore had no clue what a business card was.

"I have told you my name, now what is yours" he said in a bit of a demanded tone.

"Oh yes, who am I indeed" the cat said.

Dumbledore frowned at this. He wasn't used to not getting what he wanted.

"Follow the yellow brick road Long Beard Goat" the cat said.

"And what will I find if I go there?" Dumbledore asked.

The cat didn't answer as it began to fade away slowly. First its arms then legs then body finally its head leaving only its wide grin for the end. This startled the headmaster watching this and had to shake his head to get rid of the image.

Without any other option he took the path and walked down the yellow brick road. He took in the scenery and watched as it change from night to day without any rhyme or reason. The grassy fields would change from its ocean waves to cotton candy pink and looked as fluffy as the sweet treat. Then it would change to a magenta color back to ocean and repeat. Bird flying in the air would be flying as they did the breast stroke. Butterflies would engage in rapier duels in air all of them squeaking out French.

It was very disconcerting. Not to mention as Dumbledore walked down the yellow brick road it would rise from the ground to twist and turn in the air and then actually do a loop-the-loop then would twist so he was walking sideways and even upside down. It was like he was on a roller coaster though he was walking. He even swore he saw other versions of himself walking the same path either going forward or backwards and even side-to-side. It messed with his mind.

How long have I been walking? Dumbledore thought.

It was a good question since time had no place it seemed here. He didn't even feel tired really, but since he wasn't there physically he wouldn't be. But still it was fatiguing for his mind.

"Are you finally getting tired, headmaster?"

Dumbledore looked around, he had Luna's voice. He didn't see her anywhere though and this made him frown.

"Miss Lovegood, this has gone on long enough" he said sternly.

"Are you not having fun sir?" Luna asked.

"Release me now Miss Lovegood" Dumbledore demanded.

"Very well sir" Luna sing-songed.

Dumbledore saw a big flash of white light that blinded him. When he got his vision back he was in his office. But Luna was gone and he couldn't remember a thing.

What was going on, was I doing something? he thought.

/Scene Break/

Luna was skipping as she got to the edge of the lake. Standing there was Harry.

"All finished" she chirped happily.

"That's great Luna" Harry said with a smile.

Luna smiled as she pulled out of her bag Dumbledore's Pensieve as well as several vials of memories. What Luna had done was when Dumbledore was in her mind she was able to infiltrate his since his barriers were down. So Luna collected every bit of information Dumbledore had collected about Riddle. Luna as gathered all she needed to write a grand exposé on Dumbledore for the Quibbler. She wasn't going to forgive Dumbledore for what he had done to Harry.

Dumbledore may have pulled these memories of Riddle for a later date, but they were just magical copies of his real memories since there was no feasible way to fully extract someone's memory without them remembering it unless you used a memory charm on them afterwards.

"Right, lets go" Harry said.

He got on his Firebolt and Luna after packing up her things hopped on behind him and held on tight as they flew off.

End


A/N: okay, this one was a bit different and I hoped you all liked it. Like I said, Luna is a hard girl to write for really. Thanks for reading and please review.
