A/N: I don't own Harry Potter.
Dinner was great, at least in Luna's opinion. Sirius and James spent most of the time joking around and Mrs. Potter was too busy laughing at them to ask Luna any questions. She knew she'd end up having to tell the truth, but for now, she was happy just being a normal girl. They were nearly finished with dinner when the doorbell chimed.
"Remus is here," James announced running and throwing open the door revealing another boy their age. Luna watched him walk into the house. She blinked a few times, he looked somewhat familiar, but like everything else she couldn't figure out why.
"Remus, what a nice surprise. I didn't know you'd be coming tonight. Here, have some dessert, Sirius and James seem to have eaten any leftover dinner."
"Thank you." Remus slid into the seat across from Luna. "Hello?"
"Hi."
"Who's the new girl? Finally giving up on Evans?"
"No way! She's Sirius'...Hey maybe you should get a red head too, Remus."
"I'm Luna. Sirius kind of rescued me and brought me here. Who's Evans?"
"James perpetual crush. She hates him, he loves her."
"She'll come around, once she stops hanging out with Snivilius."
"James archnemesis, Severus, he thinks Severus is trying to steal Lily, even though she's not even interested in him," Remus explained. Luna nodded even though her head was starting to hurt. Too many names, people. Mrs. Potter had gone to the other room, leaving the teenagers.
"I think you're confusing her," James commented. Luna nodded slowly looking at the three boys. She started to stand up, but her legs gave out after a few steps. James caught her.
"Are you alright?"
"No," she whispered. She couldn't feel her toes again. Tears formed in her eyes. Maybe she'd made a mistake leaving the hospital.
"Can you tell us what's wrong?" Remus asked softly.
"I...I have nerve damage, in my feet and legs," she admitted.
"Can we do anything to help? Are you supposed to be taking any potions?"
"No, I don't think so. I was taking a nutrient potion, but nothing for my legs."
"A nutrient potion?" She nodded slowly. Sirius blinked looking at her.
"So that's why you're so light!"
"You thought you were just that strong," James joked. Luna gave them a small smile. Sirius glared at the pair.
"I guess I'm not as well as I thought."
"Do we need to take you to St. Mungo's?"
"No, please, I really don't want to go back there. Can you just help me to my room?" she asked. Sirius scooped her up easily.
"Yes, I'll carry you." She smiled laying her head against his chest. She hoped they wouldn't start seeing her as a burden, since she felt like she couldn't do much on her own.
