A/n: the usual I own nothing except William the owl and the plot. Thank you
to crazy 2 and Karbon Okapi for reviewing my first chapter and I am sorry
that this took so long but hopefully I can get into a better schedule of
updating.* Luna's thoughts * I think this will be a little less confusing.
In addition, 10 galleons each and a sugar quill each for my first 2
reviewers. ;) Love always

Diaries and Anytime-Keys
July 20, 2003 Dear Diary,
I believe to day is my 15th birthday. When dad woke me up this morning I had a
package from Ginny wishing me a very happy birthday and a gift card to Target ®, I
can't wait to get home so I can buy the latest Fleetwood Mac Cd. * they had been my
mums favorite group *This morning after breakfast dad told me that this is were he and
mum had really meet for the first time and that is why he brought me here for my 15th
birthday. Even though they where in the same year at Hogwarts they where in different
houses. Mum was a Gryffondor brave and true. Dad was a Hufflepuff loyal and stronge.
They only had one class together, Herbology, and mum was pretty good at it. Dad told
me that it was not until the summer before their fifth year before they really meet, but I
read mum's diaries from when she was my age and she had had her eye on dad since
about their third year. He said it was love at first sight for him and her. He of course does
not know that she had fancied him since third year, he had been the first and last thing on
her mind every day and loved every minute of that summer. Well dad says we have to go so I will finish this entry when we get back from our usual morning walk.
"Dad where are we going this morning? The Hills or the valley?
"Surprise." Gab Lovegood said with a wicked grin on his face.(A/N Gab is short for Gabriel Luna's dad's given name)
Luna looked a little scared, last time he said that they ended up in Barcelona participating in the annual running of the bulls.
"Don't worry, you will love were we are going. Your mother sure did."
"Dad what is in your Hand?" Fear clearly evident in her voice as she looked at the long peace of dark blue material in her father's hand.
"A blind fold."
"And what do you think you are doing to do with that because you are not putting
that on me again. Last time you put that thing on me when you took it of I had pink hair
and a ballerina costume on."
"Well there was no other way of getting you in your costume for the recital and you did look adorable."
'I was the laughed at for a week at primary school for it to' Luna though
"It will only be for a little while and I swear that you will be exactly the same in
appearance when we get to where we are going. Scouts honor." Gab said as he held up one
hand and crossed his fingers.
"I guess I will trust you, even if you did cross your fingers."
Gab gently tied the blue velvet around her eyes and started leading her to a
Well-hidden clearing with a small pond and a few large trees.
"Luna what do you smell in the air where we are standing?" Gab asked as he started to untie the velvet around her eyes.
" Water and trees, mahogany I think, and grass."
As Gab slowly let the blindfold fall from Luna's eyes, she felt her breath catch in her throat, "Its beautiful," she whispered, "where are we?"
"This is where I saw your mother for the first time outside of school." A tear
slowly formed and fell from Gab's eye. "She was sitting under the tree there next to the
pound. She was reading a book. She looked so peaceful just sitting there, I didn't want to
scare her so I just sat down and watched her. After a few minutes she stood up and started
to undress, she clearly had not seen me * Actually she saw you enter the clearing and
stared to undress because you where there * but she was wearing a bathing suit. It was a
blue bikini. I cleared my throat to get her attention * You had her attention from the
moment you entered the clearing * she just glanced over my way and jumped in."
"This is more beautiful then I imagined. I heard her describe this place but I could
not imagine this much beauty could be held in one place." Luna put her hand on her neck
and felt a chain, ' what is this?' Luna thought as she looked at the gold chain and tear
drop shaped crystal that was hanging around her neck.
"Its an Anytime Key."
"What's that? I mean I have heard of Port keys but what is an Anytime key?" Luna
said a little confused.
"Well Anytime keys are like port keys except that they can be used over and over
again and they will only take you to two places. Port keys will take form one place to
another on a timer where as an Anytime key will take from where you are to where it is
meant to go and back. By holding it in your hand and thinking of the place where you
want to go it will instantly transport you there and vice versa to get back."
"Ok, but where dose this one go?"
"It will take you from where ever you are to right here where you are standing
now. I thought that you are now old enough to have this. All you have to do is think the
words when the wind blows while holding the crystal and you will be right here. This
was where your mum and I got married."
"So other people know about this place?"
"No, only Dumbledore, your mum, myself and now you. Your mum made this
place unplottable so no one could find it so when you come here you will be all alone
unless you bring someone with you. If you bring someone, they will not remember where
it is unless you specifically tell them where it is. In addition, she put a charm on this place
that will allow the person to stay here as long as they like and no time would pass and a
silencing charm so no one would know this place was here. That way she could sit her and
think when ever she wanted and did not have to worry about losing trace of time and
missing appointment and so on."
"So if I wanted to I could be at home and come here and think and no one would
notice I was missing because time would kinda stand still?"
"Well kind of, after three hours 10 minutes would pass from where you "left off".
I am trusting that you will be responsible with this and not abuse the privilege. Do you
promise?"
"Yes, dad I promise not to use the Anytime key with out serious consideration."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~A few hours later~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I'm back diary. Dad took me to where He first really noticed mum and gave me
this necklace that was my mum's that will take me back to her favorite place in the world.
It was more beautiful then mom described it but I don't think I will tell anyone about it.
Not yet anyways. Well this has been my best Birthday so far. Until tomorrow good night.
A/N~PLEASE REVEW. If I don't have at least two more reviews for this, I will not update. So, please R/R.
