Hmmm... my second chapter. And I've gotten two reviews. Oh well, better than nothing. However, I would like to thank pink panther and BeckySharp for reviewing. I really appreciated it. Tell somebody else about this stupid story, will you? Then maybe they'll read it.... anyway, I own nothing except the people you've never heard of.

Chapter Two: Dreams and DADA

Luna looked around. Where was she? She got the answer quickly, though. She was chained to the wall, and with the slightest movement, her wrists were burned. Silver shackles.

Luna looked to her left and saw Harry, with a gash across his forehead. His eyes were closed, and he didn't look well. To Luna's left was Sirius. He looked even worse, with a broken leg crumbled beneath him.

Luna looked around once more, terrified. She could feel the panic rising in her throat. Why was she here?

An evil laugh directly across from her brought her attention to the center of the room. A man in a black cloak stood there. And to Luna's great surprise and horror, her father was crouched before him, bleeding. The man laughed again and pointed his wand at Remus Lupin.

"Tell me, and I'll let you go," the voice said quietly. Her father stared up at the man.

"Never," he said defiantly. The evil man snapped his fingers, and a short, squat man ran forward and attached another chain around her father. As her father cried out, she realized that it too was silver. Luna whimpered, and the man swung around to face her.

"Ah, Miss Lupin. Would you care to tell me what your father is hiding?" the man asked. Luna closed her eyes against him. The evil was practically vibrating off of him.

"I don't know what you want," she answered him. The man snarled, and the hood on his robe fell back. Luna screamed in horror as she saw his face.

It looked like a snake's.

The man-Voldemort, she knew that now- turned back to the victim before him.

"Tell me," he snapped. Her father looked at her, and Luna saw the fear in his eyes.

"I'll never tell someone like you," Remus spat. Voldemort smiled suddenly, and raised his wand.

"Crucio."

******************************************************************************************

Luna screamed, throwing back the bed sheets. Instantly, the canopy was thrown back on two sides, and by her side was Rose and Amy. She stopped screaming immediately, and looked at them.

"Oh... sorry. Bad dream, I guess," she told them, seeing their worried looks. Amy nodded at once, and went back to her bed. Rose lingered a second longer, frowning at her, and then closed the canopy.

Luna flopped back on her bed, wiping the cold sweat away from her eyes. Her hands were trembling, she noticed belatedly. Her breathing had increased a ten-fold, and she fought herself to calm down.

Not all my dreams have come true. Only a couple of them, Luna thought to herself. She pulled her hair away from her face, and then shoved her head underneath the pillow.

Oh, stop worrying Luna. Just go back to sleep, she thought to herself. Sleep quickly overtook her, and she fell into her dreams once again. This time they were pleasant.

******************************************************************************************

Harry watched as Luna sat down next to a red haired kid and Rose. She seemed exhausted, and her eyes had dark circles underneath them.

Harry had moved in with Sirius two years ago, and they had been the best years of his life. He had been able to play wizarding games with Sirius, such as Wizards Chess and Exploding Snap. He could do his homework in front of people without getting in trouble, and he could talk about his dreams to Sirius as well.

What confused Harry was that Remus (as Professor Lupin insisted Harry call him) had come by to visit often, and never mentioned he had children. Or that he had married. And why had Sirius kept it secret as well? It just didn't make sense.

"Harry, are you paying attention?" asked Hermione shrewdly. Harry snapped out of his reverie and looked at Hermione.

"Sorry Hermione. I was just thinking," Harry answered sheepishly. Ron looked up from his food briefly, and then continued to shovel it into his mouth.

"'Bout wha?" Ron asked clumsily as he pushed more food into his mouth. Hermione scowled at him.

"Ron, don't you think you should slow down. The way you're eating it seems like it's your last meal," she scolded. Ron rolled his eyes, but slowed down immediately. Harry shrugged.

"The new Gryffindor, Luna. Did Professor Lupin ever tell you he had kids?" Harry asked.

"Well, no, he didn't. But why would he tell us?" Hermione reminded him. Harry frowned.

"I wouldn't expect him to when he taught us, but I've seen him more than once over the past two years. And Sirius never mentioned it," Harry told them. Ron shrugged and set down his fork.

"If you're so worried about it, just owl Sirius about it. I'm sure it's no big deal, like it never came up or something."

Harry sighed and turned back to his food.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luna felt the stares on the back of her neck. She turned to look down the table, and saw that Harry was looking at her. Luna shuddered. She hated it when people stared. Amy smiled at her.

"So, what will be our first prank?" she asked. Rose frowned.

"Well, we haven't any enemies yet, so their really isn't a point to playing a prank yet. Now, once we have some classes, we'll probably make a lot of enemies. I can just see it now..." Rose trailed off, smiling dreamily into space. Luna laughed and studied her goblet carefully.

Shoot, Luna thought, it's silver. It's supposed to be gold.

She carefully picked it up with her napkin and studied the rim of the cup. Thankfully, that was gold. She took a sip and smiled. It tasted just like the pumpkin juice at home.

Home. She missed it so much, and she hadn't even lasted an entire day yet. She decided she would owl her father about her dream after classes. He had always helped her with things like that. Amy nudged her.

"Schedules."

The schedules were being handed out, and Luna took hers thankfully. She scanned it, and then put it into her DADA book.

"Hmm... cool, we have DADA first, with the Slytherins. That sucks. Then we have... this isn't fair. Care of Magical Creatures with the Slytherins? And after that we have Charms. Alone, thank the Lord," Rose said out loud. Then she laughed.

"Oh well, we'll have plenty of time to make enemies," Rose laughed. Amy and Luna joined in almost immediately, and continued to stare at their schedules.

"After Charms is Herbology. Crap, I suck when it comes to plants," Amy muttered. Luna smiled sympathetically. The only class she was horrible at was-

"And then at midnight, we have Astronomy," Rose finished. Luna winced. She had grown to hate the moon. Even if it wasn't full. Rose climbed to her feet and dusted off her black robes.

"Shall we? We want to meet Professor Micaro before hand, don't we?" Rose asked, piling her books into her bag. Amy nodded, and Luna reluctantly rose to her feet. She wasn't sure about this Professor Micaro.

******************************************************************************************

Luna dropped her bag at her feet gratefully. They had gotten lost on their way to the DADA room, and Rose had gotten stuck in the trick stair, causing a very foul mouth to be released instantaneously. Nevertheless, they had gotten there first, even before Professor Micaro. Rose, Amy, and Luna grabbed seats in the first row, and began flipping through their books.

The chapters were unusually long, and contained so much information it was hard to keep it all straight. Luna and the other students had received last minute letters, telling them the DADA book had been changed, that they need to buy 'Dark Creatures of the Night and Other Times', by Jennifer Creap. The 'dark creatures' included vampires, ghosts, demons, and, much to Luna's dismay, werewolves. She continued to page through the book, when she heard a sharp crack.

Professor Micaro looked at them sheepishly as she carefully moved the books into a less noisy place. Then she sat on her desk and smiled at them.

Professor Micaro had dark brown hair that came down just below her chin, and black eyes. She was pale, and her fingernails were long, and painted red. She smiled at them again, and opened her mouth.

"Well, I'm glad to see someone here wants to learn," she said softly. Her voice didn't carry far, surprisingly enough. Luna nodded at the teacher politely.

"We're just looking through the book. What are we learning today?" she asked. Professor Micaro froze, and then relaxed again.

"Ah... today we are learning about vampires. We will be for the next two months or so. Oh, but wait until the rest of the class gets here. I don't want to have to repeat it twice," she said, raising her voice a bit. As if on cue, more students began pouring in. Michelle and Lita sat behind Luna, and to Luna's right a nasty looking Slytherin sat down. Luna moved her desk over a bit, and smiled at Lita. Lita stared at her, and then fixed her attention to the teacher. Professor Micaro waited a minute, and then pulled out a small black book.

"All right, if you could say 'here' when I call your name, I'd really appreciate it," Micaro said softly.

"Allen Avarius."

"Here."

"Rose Black."

"Here."

"Mary Ciniwind."

"Here."

"Sally Diinivind.

"Diiniwkend, lady. Here."

"Robert Faltroid."

"Here."

"Malcolm Gogorois."

"Here."

"Ian Holstrier."

"Here."

"John Jeniques."

"Here."

"Amy Kensington."

"Here."

"Lita Kensington."

"Here."

"Luna Lupin."

"Here."

"Marcella Malfoy."

The girl next to Luna sneered. "Here."

"James Markey."

"Here."

"Katie Nefarious."

"Here."

"Richard Oxdiea."

"Here."

"Joseph Quoizo."

"Here."

"Brian Reidly."

"Here."

"Michelle Salvay."

"Here."

"Tilly Trecki."

"Here."

"Tim Vendetti."

"Here."

Professor Micaro set the black book aside and looked at the class sitting before her. Luna smiled at her again, silently encouraging her to continue. Micaro took a deep breath.

"Very well. First of all, I would like to tell you the curriculum for the next few months. We will first study vampires. We will work with that for two months. Then we'll move onto werewolves, for another two months. Then ghosts, for two more months. And finally, we'll end with demons, and miscellaneous dark creatures. Does that sound good to you?" Micaro asked. The class mumbled yes, and then Micaro pulled out the thick textbook.

"First of all, what can you tell me about vampires, from right off the top of your head," she asked. Luna, Rose, and the Malfoy girl hands all went up at once. Micaro laughed and pointed at Luna.

"Miss Lupin?"

"Vampires are dark creatures who drink blood to survive," Luna said, remembering what her father taught her. Micaro smiled.

"Correct. Miss Black?"

"You cannot see their reflections."

"Correct again. That'll be ten points for Gryffindor, for your and Miss Lupin's answers. Miss Malfoy?"

Marcella smiled and looked pointedly at Luna.

"Vampires can sense werewolves," she said wickedly. Luna tensed, and stared at Marcella.

"Well, yes. That isn't very well known, Miss Malfoy. Where did you learn that?" Micaro asked cautiously. Marcella smiled broadly.

"My brother taught me. He told me that werewolves are dirty, horrible creatures. More horrible than any other dark creature, and that's why other dark creatures can sense them," she said triumphantly. Micaro frowned at this.

"And who might your brother be?" she asked. Marcella smiled again.

"Draco. He's in Slytherin. Talk to Professor Snape." Malfoy grinned at Luna evilly, and then turned back to her book. Luna could feel some red creeping up into her ears, and forced it back down. Micaro sighed.

"Very well. Let's continue. Please turn to page seven in your book and read the chapter," Micaro whispered. Luna flipped open her book and stared at the pictures. Some were photographs, and you could see pale men drinking peoples blood. Others were just drawings, but you could still see the evil behind the mask. Luna shuddered.

"Scared, Lupin?" hissed Malfoy from across the aisle. She was pointing at her book with her wand, and making the images stick out a bit. Luna fingered her wand from inside her robe.

"No, Marcella. Vampires do not scare me," Luna answered. Malfoy frowned.

"Don't call me by my first name. It's rude. It means you're friends. And trust me Lupin, you should be scared," Malfoy whispered while Micaro's back was turned. Luna frowned.

"Why?" Malfoy pointed at a section in the werewolves area.

" 'A werewolves mortal, or in this case, dead enemy is vampires. Vampires have a natural hate for werewolves, and will kill when a werewolf is invading their home, or territory,'. Don't you think you should be worried about your father? Draco told me he was an evil werewolf," Malfoy sneered. Luna turned back to her book.

"Your brother was wrong."

*****************************************************************************************

Harry stared at Luna as she ate her dinner. He got the feeling something was wrong, and he quickly told Ron and Hermione that he wished to speak to Luna briefly.

Harry sat down next to the small girl, and realized how much she looked like her father. She had light brown hair, but hers didn't have gray in it. Her eyes were gray, and looked slightly creepy. But she was very, very small, and couldn't be taller than four foot nine.

Luna looked up at Harry, and smiled faintly.

"Hello Harry," she whispered. Harry nodded his greeting.

"Luna, is their something wrong?" Harry asked, getting to the point. Luna sighed and stabbed her food.

"Yes. Do you know anybody by the name of Malfoy?" she asked. Harry jerked as if stung, and looked down at her pallid face.

"Yes. His name is Draco. Why?" he asked carefully. Luna stabbed her food again.

"He has a sister named Marcella. She said some very cruel things about my father today," Luna muttered. Harry frowned.

"What did she say?" he pressed. Luna fiddled with the goblet this time, and finally looked him in the eyes.

"That he was a dirty, evil werewolf. He isn't though! I know my father! He's never... he'd never bite anyone on purpose," Luna concluded. Harry smiled.

"I know that. And your friends know that. Obviously, the Malfoys ALL are bad apples," Harry reassured her. Luna smiled and then sighed.

"I'd better go. I'm writing a letter to my father tonight," Luna said. She stood, gathered her things, and left. Harry stared after her.

What did she mean by her father would never bite anyone on purpose? She started to say that he's never... never what? Bitten anyone? Harry shook his head, and watched as she walked through the doors to the great hall, and then joined his friends.

Well? Anyone else want to review this? Huh? Please? I'll love you for life if you do!
