General P.O.V
Harry woke up the next morning to the sound of Ron's heavy snoring...
"God! I got to learn a bloody silencing charm." Harry thought.
"Good morning Harry." Neville asked..
"Hey Neville! Good morning." Harry said
"Are you going for the tryouts today Harry?" Neville asked
"Tryouts?" Harry asked confused...
"Yeah! You know, for the tournament. Oliver said that he is holding the tryouts today.. So that the team will get more time for practice." Neville said
"Oh! I did not hear it. I was rather busy." Harry said scratching the back of his neck.
"Hmm.. Busy huh... With Hermione I presume.." Neville said chuckling..
"No, it's nothing like that." Harry replied still scratching the back of his neck and blushing a little.
"Don't worry bro, your secret's safe with me." Neville whispered patting Harry on the back.
Harry smiled and went to the bathroom, thinking about the previous night.
The night before
Harry was returning to the boy's dormitory after meeting with his secret friend.
"Where have you been Potter?" Hermione said.
'Oh no! Last name.. I am in trouble' Harry thought.
"Hey Mione! Good to see you here.. What is my beautiful girl doing still awake!" Harry asked cheekily sitting next to Hermione.
"Cut it out Potter! Where were you gone?" Hermione asked raising her voice.
"Mione, I am sorry... I just went to meet someone. It was really important." Harry said
"So Ginny was right.. Why Harry? Why did you do this to me? You could have just told me that you don't like me.. I never believed when Ginny said you had an affair with Luna. But now."Hermione said crying.
"WOW! Hold it there...Ginny told you I had an affair with Luna" Harry asked and Hermione nodded her head in response. I swear, I am going to kill that girl one day... "Mione, look at me" Harry said tilting her chin up so that they were now having direct eye contact. "Mi, Luna is like a sister to me. I will never even think of something like that about her...I will never cheat on you Mi.. You are the most important person in my life.. Besides, don't you remember the long, boring speech I gave the day we had our first kiss?" Haryy asked.. Hermione nodded her head, chuckling.
"You are the only girl in my life Mione" Hermione said quoting Harry...
"Exactly Mi and I am going to say that again. You are the only girl in my life.. No other girl can take that position away. You are my one and only, Hermione..You are my life.. I can never live without You.. I don't care what other other people think.. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met in my life." Harry said smiling.
"Don't say that if you don't mean it Harry..How can I be beautiful with my teeth and my bushy hair. I am just a plain bookworm" Hermione said lowering her head.
"You are beautiful Mione.. You just don't realise it... You are the most beautiful girl, with that untamable hair and your cute buck-teeth.. You are just perfect to me Hermione. It's true, you are a bookworm Mi.. But, you are my bookworm and I will always be your Harry. I will be your messy-haired, green eyed, scrawny..
"You aren't scrawny anymore.. Remember" Hermione said pointing at his abs.
"Ah! For the second time,I am grateful for potions" Harry said smiling..
"Second? When was the first time?" Hermione asked.
"Oh! That incident is my most treasured memory.." Hermione raised one eyebrow as if asking 'which memory' . "You know.. Second year.. The time that you became a cat after drinking the polyjuice potion.. You looked so cute, and fluffy!" Harry said ruffling her hair.
Hermione covered her hands with her hair to hide her embarrassment.. "I hate you Potter"
Harry laughed.. "I know Mi" Harry took a deep breath.. "I know I should have told you this earlier Hermione, but, I...I Love you Mione" Harry said. His green eyes meeting her chocolate-brown ones.
Hermione was taken back. She was waiting to hear those three words from him from the time since they had started dating. Her eyes shone with tears of happiness. She moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around him, holding him in her signature bone-crushing-hug. "I Love you too Harry"
Harry broke the hug with a huge smile on his face.. He leaned towards her and captured her lips in his, kissing her passionately.. He ran his tongue through her bottom lip, asking for permission. Hermione opened her mouth and let Harry slip his tongue inside her mouth, where they both battled for dominance.. Hermione broke from the kiss, only to trail kisses along his jawline, down to his neck, where she began sucking on his sensitive spot... Harry moaned and pulled her up towards his lips.
[ What more do I have to say...or rather write, their sweet little kiss turned out into a full make out session... They both finished their adventurous activity after an hour and went to sleep in their respective dorms.. (A/N: No, they did not go all the way.. Come on people, they are only 14.. Sometimes, i really wish if I had started this story from sixth year..) ]
Present time
Harry walked down the stairs to the common room and found Hermione sitting on the couch reading a book..'Hogwarts: A history"
Same old Hermione. Harry thought chuckling.. "Hey beautiful" Harry said bending down and pecking her on the lip after making sure nobody was watching them.. "Shall we go down my Lady?" Harry asked bowing and held out his hands for her to take
"Absolutely, my kind sir " Hermione said giggling at his antics.. He is such a sweet lover boy..
-Time skip-
Harry and Hermione had finished their breakfast and were now sitting in the common room reading a book on advanced spells.
"You know! You could have told me Harry.. I am your best mate.." Ron said entering the common room.
"Told you what Ron?" Harry asked confused
"That you are the official seeker for the Hogwarts team." It was evident from his voice that Ron was jealous of Harry.
"Who in the what now...?" Harry asked utterly confused.
"The official seeker and the vice captain of the Hogwarts quidditch team for the tournament." Oliver said seemingly coming out of nowhere.
"Why me?" Harry asked.
"Why not you Potter? You are the best seeker Hogwarts has ever seen after Charlie.. You have a perfect track record.. No one has ever been able to beat you till date." Oliver said proud of his team member.
"Well, Cedric did beat him last year." Ron said smugly.
"Really Ronald, are you that stupid" Hermione asked raising one eyebrow.
"That was not Harry's fault.. It was due to those idiotic Dementors and well we lost the match due to my stubbornness." Oliver said supporting Hermione. "Anyway, it's decided Harry.. You are the only one in this whole school who even have the slightest chance of defeating someone like Krum. I trust you Harry." Oliver said looking at Harry.
"No one can beat Krum." Ron said throwing his hands up in frustration.
"I will have your back Oliver. I promise, I will try my best." Harry said completely ignoring Ron.
"Alright then vice-captain, let's go for the tryouts shall we?" Oliver asked smiling
"Lead the way captain." Harry told Oliver. "Can Mione come to watch the tryouts?"
"Yeah, Yeah. Bring your girlfriend." Oliver said chuckling.
Quidditch pitch
"Wow! That's a lot of students." Hermione said once they had entered the quidditch pitch. It seemed as if all the students in the school were present at the quidditch pitch..
"Welcome everyone. We will be holding the tryouts starting from today. Me and Harry will be selecting the appropriate players on the basis of your performances... Some of you will even be made as reserve players.. They will be a back up if any of our team members are unable to play." Oliver said
"Remember everyone, we will only be selecting the best of the best players. No one will be given any special treatments in here." Harry added.
"Then why were you selected without any tryouts Potter?" someone asked from the crowd.
"Because he is the best seeker our school has." Oliver replied supporting Harry.
"Prove it!" some other idiot said.
Oliver looked at Harry who nodded his head in agreement. They had expected this.
"Alright, all those who are here to try out for the position of seeker, step forward.." Oliver said, taking the snitch out of the box he was carrying.
Five people stepped out of the crowd and came forward.. They included Cedric diggory, Ginny weasley, Cho chang, Ebin wilson and Draco Malfoy.. (why am i not surprised)
"I am going to release the snitch into the air.. If any of you manages to catch the snitch before Harry, I will make you the new Hogwarts seeker. Also, you five will get a five minute headstart." Oliver said.
He released the snitch into the air. The 5 "master" seekers went out to seek the snitch which had by now completely disappeared. After waiting for 5 minutes, Harry quickly gave Hermione a kiss on the cheek and took off into the air. Two minutes later, Harry came and landed in front of Hermione. He took her hand in his and placed the snitch securely in her hands, making sure it will not escape. Everyone clapped their hands seeing this and some people even whistled.
"Do anybody have anymore objections for Harry becoming the seeker." Oliver asked everyone as the other 5 seekers landed on the ground. "Well then, let's proceed" Oliver said as he saw that no one had raised any objections.
The tryouts were tough; everyone who came for the practice had performed really well... Well, almost everyone, some girls who were ogling at Harry had fallen off their brooms and were admitted in the hospital wing.
Oliver had gone to meet McGonagall, to inform her about the tryouts...
Harry and Hermione were now walking towards the Gryffindor common room... Harry's mind was wandering with one question.
'Did Hermione have anything to do with the girls falling off their brooms'... Harry pulled Hermione inside a broom cupboard, much to her surprise and locked the door with some strong charms.
"Ok Granger, spill" Harry told facing Hermione.
"What do you mean Harry?" Hermione asked innocently... (Too innocently, according to Harry)
"Don't play dumb Mi.. What did you do to the girls?" Harry asked rubbing his temples.
Hermione gave out a sigh.. "Those girls were standing in front of me and were talking about how sexy you looked and all those things.. Also, one of those girls were planning to feed you love potion. Another girl said that she is going to pull you inside a broom cupboard and snog you senseless once practice finishes. I couldn't just stand there and do nothing after hearing that. Well, none of them were badly hurt. Just some broken bones and all.. Those girls should know that you belong to mem Harry Potter. I am sorry." Hermione said not sounding sorry at all.
Harry couldn't hold it anymore, he burst out laughing.. "You are the cutest and the most protective girlfriend ever Mione." He said once he had gotten his laughter under control. He moved closer to Hermione (If that was possible) and wrapped his arms around her waist and brought his face closer to her.. "You look sexy when you are jealous.. Did you know that Mi?"
"I am not Jeal.." Hermione was cut off by harry's lips pressing against her's.. She kissed him back hungrily, their lips moving in perfect Harmony (Hehe! get it) . Soon, the need for oxygen brought the two teens out of their joyous activity.. Harry moved his lips down her neck and began sucking on it, leaving a hickey on her neck. Hermione pushed Harry against the wall and trailed kisses down his neck, returning the favor. She moved up and connected her lips with his, inserting her tongue inside his mouth.. They both were interrupted from their intense snogging session by the sound of someone trying to open the door..
"Who is there, come outside this instant." Filch yelled.
"Oh shit! Filch!" Harry said looking at Hermione.
"What do we do now?" Hermione asked sounding nervous.
"I have got an idea, hold on tight" Harry replied. He took out his wand and cast an incantation to extend the broom closet "Dobby!" He called out once he was done.
"Yes Harry potter sir, how can Dobby help you" Dobby asked popping beside Harry
"Take both of us to the Gryffindor common room Dobby." Dobby nodded his head and took Harry's and Hermione's hand in his and popped them out of the broom cupboard.
Hermione opened her eyes and found that they were both now standing in front of the portrait of the fat lady. "We might be the only couple who might have used an elf to escape from being getting caught by Filch." Hermione said chuckling.
"Hm. Maybe. But,I know one thing"
"And what is that Mr. Potter?"
"You are a great kisser Ms. Granger" Harry said smiling. "And you might want to wear a scarf to cover that." Harry said pointing at her neck. Hermione hit him lightly on the chest and buried her face in his shirt trying to hide her embarrassment.
"I hate you potter" Hermione said
"I love you too Hermione" Harry said laughing and gave the password to Fat Lady, they both got inside the common room.. Just as they got in, Athena flashed in front of Harry and told something to him.. "I have got to go Mione.. Wait for me at the great hall after dinner, there are some things i have to tell you." Harry said before flashing away.
TIME SKIP
Harry had not shown up at dinner and Hermione was more worried about him... Everyone had gone up to their dorms and Hermione was waiting for Harry to show up as he told her to do... After some time, she saw Harry walking towards her. She noticed that Luna was also walking with him. As they got closer, Hermione noticed that both of them had a black eye. She suddenly got up and ran towards Harry, hugging him.
"Harry what happened? How did you both get hurt?" Hermione asked concerned.
"I will explain everything Mione, follow me." Harry said leading her out of the great hall. The trio climbed the stairs and reached the seventh floor. Once there, Harry started leading her towards somewhere she did not know. They stopped near a window. Harry kept staring at it while Luna was pacing back and forth near the wall.
"Harry what are we..." Hermione stopped mid-sentence as she saw a door appearing in front of the wall.. Luna opened the door and went inside.
"After you Mione." Harry said.. Hermione went inside followed by Harry. She was surprised to see two other people other Luna standing inside the room. As she got closer, she was able to recognize the two people standing inside the room .. The first person she saw was Neville and standing beside him was...,
"MALFOY!" Hermione half screamed half asked.
"Hello Hermione" Draco Malfoy replied.. Hermione was surprised at the fact Draco had addressed her by her first name, like he was addressing a friend.
"Harry what is going on here? What is this place?" Hermione asked turning toward Harry.
"Calm down Mione.. I will explain everything to you.. But, please wait for one minute." Harry then walked towards a table that seemed to appear out of nowhere and placed something that looked like a small disc on it.. "Have you got it guys?" He asked turning towards Neville and Draco.
Draco nodded and walked towards him and placed another object that looked like a trophy on the table.
"Alright now that we have everything.. I think it's time we explain everything to Hermione." Neville said.
Harry nodded his head and walked towards Hermione. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Mione, I would like to introduce you to Shadow, Aqua and Claws." Harry said pointing towards Draco, Luna and Neville respectively. As soon as Harry said this, the three humans in front of Harry and Hermione disappeared and in their place appeared a panther, a blue phoenix and an eagle.
"They are animaguses?" Hermione asked Harry.
"Yes Hermione, they are... Draco here is a magical black panther, he can travel through shadows with ease and can remain unspotted in the dark.. As you might have guessed, he delivers his attacks when the enemy expects it the least." Harry said patting the panther on the head as if it were an obedient dog.
The blue phoenix flew down and perched herself on Hermione's shoulder.. "Luna is a water phoenix, the most rarest and the most intelligent species of phoenixes. She is well informed about everything in the world.. You can ask her any information you need and she will give you the info you need." Harry said smiling.
The eagle came and landed on Harry's outstretched hand.. "Neville here is a magical eagle.. Has a very sharp eyesight than any other normal eagle.. He also has a good hearing power. Never underestimate him this guy. Because, he is the most dangerous person in our group. His claws has a highly poisonous venom inside it. Even if a single feather of his falls on your body, you will feel like you are burning up.. Even phoenix tears can't save you... Rare, isn't he?"
The three animagasus returned to their original form.. Hermione just stood there gob smacked.. She didn't know how to respond to all of this.. She had a lot of questions, but she didn't know from where to start.. Seeing her expression, Harry said.
"I know you have some questions Hermione. So we will start answering one by one.. Luna, please." Harry said.
"Hermione, I know some people have been saying some bad things about me and Harry. But, me and Harry are siblings.. Not like siblings, Harry is actually my biological brother." Luna said surprising Hermione.
"Yes Mione, this is my little sister, Luna Lily Potter." Harry said wrapping his arms around Luna
"How?" Was the only thing Hermione could ask.
"I will do the honors" Luna said stepping forward..
/ One Year ago/
(Fourth week OF HOGWARTS THIRD YEAR)
LUNA'S P.O.V
"Professor, I need your help." I said clutching my head.
"What happened Ms. Lovegood?" McGonagall asked worried.
"I have been having dreams.. no visions.. I can see that I was living with a family.. There was this man who had black messy hair and his wife had long, red hair.. Then, there was this little baby with green eyes and dark black hair.. We were all very happy. There was also a black tabby cat, that looked a lot like you.. Then, there was this large black dog me and the little boy used to ride on.. At times, the black dog used to turn into a man.. He had black long hair that reached up to his shoulders..." I stopped talking when I saw professor McGonagall fall out of her chair..
"How long have you been having these dreams my dear" McGonagall asked me..
"Since last year." I replied honestly.
McGonagall took out a mirror from inside her desk and started speaking to someone. Two, minutes later, a man came inside through the fireplace..
"What is it Minnie? Why did you ask me to bring this?" The man asked handing over a vile of potion to Professor McGonagall.
"We might need this Talon.. But first, I need you to check Ms. Luna. She has been having some dreams or rather memories, from what I have heard from her.. Memories of Prongs and co." Professor McGonagall told the man.
The man turned and looked at me.. "Luna, I need you to cooperate.. I promise you this will not hurt." He said placing his hands on my forehead. He stepped back after sometime. Looking shocked.
"What happened Talon?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Give her the potion Minnie."
Professor McGonagall gave me a potion and asked me to drink it.. I drank the entire potion and gave the empty vile to Professor McGonagall.. She handed me a piece of paper and asked me hold it...Nothing happened for some time, but, a few minutes later, some writings appeared on the paper. To say I was shocked would have been an understatement..
This was written on the paper.
RESULT
Adoptive Name: Luna Lovegood
Adoptive father: Xenophilius Lovegood
Birth father: James Potter
Birth Mother: Lily Potter nee Evans
Birth Name: Luna Lily Potter
Sibling: Harry James Potter
I gave the paper to Professor McGonagall and ran away from the room without waiting for an answer.. I went to meet the only person whom I trusted, Neville Longbottom, he is a very sweet person, he sees me for who I am and appreciates me.. I found him at the Greenhouse studying a plant.. I ran upto him and hugged him and started crying my eyes out.
"Luna, what's wrong?" He asked me worried.
I told everything that I had found out.. He listened carefully to everything I said and after thinking for a while he told me, "We should tell Harry this. I am sure he would be happy to know that he has little sister."
"But Neville, what if he doesn't like me?" I asked him worried.
"Do you trust me Luna?" He asked me.
"I trust you with my life Neville" I replied.
"Good. Then come with me" He said holding his hands out for me to take.
/FLASHBACK END/
General P.O.V
"So, we went to Harry and told him everything.. He was shocked at first, but then they both had a family reunion thingy." Neville said smiling.
"Why did you never tell anybody?" Hermione asked
"I didn't trust anybody Mi.. I learned my lesson during second year.. When Neville told me everything about the things Ron was talking about me, i lost all my hope.. I didn't know if I could trust you too.. You know, mainly because Ron told me that you were both dating." Harry said
"Which was a bloody lie." Hermione spat.
"I told you Potter. No girl in her right mind would date the pig. Lavender is an exception.." Draco said.
Neville and Luna chuckled.
"Wait when did Draco join the picture." Hermione asked
"Should I tell it, or will you do the honors shadow?" Harry asked..
"Since it's my story, I will not be the one to narrate it.. You can do the honors" Draco said smiling at Harry.
/FLASHBACK BEGINS/
(TWO WEEKS AFTER LUNA'S INCIDENT)
HARRY'S P.O.V
"Madam Pomfrey, do you have any potions for headache.." I asked entering the Hospital wing..
"Wait here mr. Potter" Madam Pomfrey said walking away..
I was waiting for Madam Pomfrey to arrive when i saw someone lying one of the beds.. I was about to check who the person was when madam pomfrey came in holding a vile of potion in her hand..
"Here, Mr. Potter, drink this, you will be good as new." She said giving me the potion...
"Poppy, who is that person lying on the 3rd bed" I asked after drinking the potion.
"Oh, that is Draco Malfoy."
"Malfoy? What happened to him?" I asked him
"Same problem as yours. Child abuse, but worse."
I was completely shocked hearing this.. Child abuse? Malfloy?
"Can I talk to him?" I asked her.
"Sure, but don't give him any strain."
I nodded and walked towards his bed.. I sat in a chair near to his bed..
"What do you want Potter? Came to make fun of me lying here, have you?" Draco asked seeing me.
"No Malfoy, I know about your situation.. Truth to be said, I have a great deal of experience in this particular area."
"What do you mean?" He asked me..
I removed my shirt and showed him the marks on my back.
"Are those?" He asked me shocked.. I nodded my head and put my shirt back and sat back in the chair.
"So, what is your story?" I asked him
"Dear old dad wants me to follow his footsteps and become a junior death eater like him. A few days ago, I saw him hurting my mother.. She was getting hurt because she refused to make me follow my dad's path.. Her screams were becoming so loud that I couldn't hold it anymore.. I took my wand out and threw my father against the wall.. He was really angry that he started hurting me. He used the cruciatius curse to torture me. He used a lot of spells which were dark. And now as a result, I have to visit the hospital weekly. Madam Pomfrey's medicines have been keeping me alive.."
"Guess we both aren't what other people think us to be, are we?" I asked him after listening to his story.
"No, we are not." He replied.
"So, why this entire tough boy act Draco?"
"Look Harry, I am never had any enmity towards you.. I actually respect you. The way how you fight against all the problems you are facing.. But, I am doing all this enemy act because of my father.. He tells me to these things which i don't like at all. But, i have no choice at all"
"I understand your situation Draco..I don't know how I can save you from your father, but I can assure you, I would like to help you any other way i can. Like, for starters, being a good friend to you.."
"Friend? You want to be friends with a person who has been bullying you since you came here?" He asked.
"I know you didn't have any choice at that time. But now, you do."
"Wow! So, the legend is true, Harry Potter is truly a noble soul?" Draco asked laughing
"Yeah, Yeah. So, friends?" I asked handing out my hand towards him.
"Friends" He said shaking my hands.
/FLASHBACK END/
General P.O.V
"So, let me get this straight, you all have been friends since last year and have been doing some secret missions.." Hermione asked. They all nodded their heads. "I really need a headache potion." Soon, a vial of potion appeared on the table.. "What is this room called again?"
"The room of requirement" Harry said
"Harry, you never showed me your animagus form" Hermione said suddenly remembering.
Just as Harry was about to respond, the door opened and two black figures stepped in.
"Looks like the seniors have arrived" Harry said
"I see everyone has arrived.. Oh! Hello Hermione" The person who came inside the room said.
"Holy mother of..." Hermione began.
Next chapter coming soon.
