A/N: I don't own Harry Potter.

To the guest who said Luna is Ginny Weasley, I will now admit this far into the story, you are correct. Anyone who did not already know this, I'm sorry for the spoiler?

"You're doing what?!" Sirius yelled as Luna slid into the common room a huge smile across her face.

"Playing in this weekend's Quiddich game as Gryffindor's back up chaser," she repeated as Sirius stared at her in disblief.

"James...why do I have a feeling you have something to do with this?"

"She made me do it!" Luna rolled her eyes.

"I didn't make you do anything, Potter. I merely said I was going to do it with or without you. Sirius would have killed you either way," she added with a shrug before turning back to her boyfriend.

"No, you are not going out there and getting yourself killed, Luna. It's dangerous! I forbid it!" She blinked at him for a second before laughing.

"No, what's dangerous is...oh, let's see, making a magical map, tormenting the whomping willow, those books under your bed..." she started listing. "Not to mention some of pranks you and James play on poor Severus. He's a lot smarter than you realize, you're just lucky he lacks the confidence to retaliate against you. I'm playing in the game and that's final. Now you can either cheer me on or don't bother to come," she stated leaving the common room. It wasn't until she was outside that she started crying.

"Luna? Are you alright?" she felt a hand touch her shoulder. Glancing down she saw pink painted fingernails.

"I...I think Sirius and I just broke up," she sobbed.

"But he's crazy about you," Lily said shaking her head.

"Yeah, he forbid me to play in this weekend's Quiddich match. I have permission from Madame Pomfrey, I'll have to wear a special back brace, but it's allowed. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley gave permission since they're my guardians. He's the only one telling me I can't."

"He's just worried about you, Luna."

"He doesn't need to be, not about something like this. If I could walk, if I was like every other witch, he wouldn't give it a second thought. That's what I liked about him, Lils, he treated me like I wasn't...this." Lily nodded walking with Luna.

"He's just being protective, which is kind of sweet if you think about it. He'll come around once he realizes that you can do it, or when he realizes forbidding you to do something doesn't work." Luna laughed.

"I hope so, I really like him, Lily. So, what about you and James. I saw the way you were looking at him in potions." Lily blushed almost as red as her hair.

"It's nothing, I've just noticed he's being a lot nicer to Severus. Did you have something to do with that?"

"Maybe? Or maybe he's starting to grow up. Oh, I kind of told Sirius that Severus could kick as arse..."

"He could honestly, although he'd be more likely to prank them with a potion...I should suggest that, oh that would be hilarious to see him get back at James and Sirius."

"What about Remus?"

"He's not a bad guy, he's defended Severus once or twice. Not like that rat Peter...he makes me skin crawl."

"Mine too, I wish they'd stop hanging out with him." The pair had reached the lake where they could almost see the giant squid. Across the water, Luna could see several Slytherin boys talking, Severus among them. She didn't point it out to Lily, but it looked like he might have been agreeing with what they were saying. Not all Slytherins are bad, she reminded herself.

LLLLLLLLLLLL

Sirius still hadn't come around as the sun rose on Saturday, the day of the match against Slytherin. Luna rose early, fussed with her hair for nearly five minutes before just pulling it back. She had been practicing with the rest of the team. So far, they had all accepted her.

"Morning Luna," Dorcas said. She too was on the team.

"Morning, Dori, ready for today?"

"Yes, beyond ready. Looks like the weather's going to be decent too, not a cloud in the sky."

"Don't say that too loud," Luna laughed as they made their way down to the pitch. Luna was using one of the school brooms, since James needed his. She'd also been practicing riding it to get used to its quirks. One of which was that it had a habit to lean to the right.

"You ready Luna?" Gezabash asked looking her over when she and Dorcas arrived at the pitch.

"Yes captain," she smiled holding her head high. The plan was for her to stay in her chair until the whistle, then slide to the broom while someone summoned her chair to the bench. Originally she'd thought of Sirius taking care of it, but since he still wasn't speaking to her that idea was out. As they made their way out to the middle of the pitch, Luna glanced up in the stands and frowned.

"He'll come around," James promised as Hooch blew the whistle. Luna slid onto her broom not even worrying about her chair. Someone would take care of it.

"And they're off, Gryffindor in possession!" Luna shook her head trying to tune out the commentary. She watched the quaffle soar and swooped easily catching it.

"I'm open," Fields shouted. Luna looked over, seeing Slytherin's chaser closing in, she thew to quaffle over her shoulder, much lower than where Fields was currently. He glared at her but soon realized what she was planning. He flipped upside down, dove towards the field. Luna followed, hitting the quaffle away from Slytherin.

They'd scored three times before the whistle sounded.

"Potter has the snitch!" Luna froze, hovering. Her teammates landed and she followed, staying a foot or so off the ground. She looked around for her chair.

"Here, let me help you," Fields said sliding Luna from her broom. Gezabash supported her from the other side.

"Good job, James," she said as James walked over.

"All in a day's work," he stated with a smirk. "Hey, where's her chair?" he asked looking around.

"I don't see it," Gezabash said with a frown. Dorcas started looking around the stands.

"Who would take her chair? That's just mean!" They sat Luna down and began searching anywhere someone might have put it.

"What's going on here?"

"Luna's chair is missing, Professor McGonagall."

"Where did you see it last?"

"On the pitch, right before take off," Luna explained.

"And none of your friends have it? This isn't some sort of prank, Mr. Potter?" James shook his head.

"No, if it is, I have nothing to do with it. I'd never do that to Luna, that's going too far."

"Very well, I will ask around and see if I can find anything. Until then, I'll have Professor Flitwick enchant something for Luna to use. Can you get her back to her dorm room?"

"Yes, Professor," James answered. Luna allowed him to pick her up tears forming in her eyes. The amazing game fading and a feeling of helplessness taking its place.
