A/N I'm sorry everyone that this has taken so long. I got back from
vacation Monday. Tuesday school started back and I got an idea for a story
that just would not go away so I started writing it and out popped my other
work in progress. To read it click on my name at the top of your screen and
you will go to my fan fic page. In addition, I do not own meat loaf or any
of Potterdom and never will. However, even if I were Ms. Rowling I would
still write on here and put my rejected ideas on here.
A few days later Luna and Gab went to Diagon Ally. Every shop they went into Gab tried
to by her something, everything from a new cauldron to dress robes to the new Nimbus 2003
racing broom. Every time he tried to explain to him that, whatever it was what she currently had
was just fine and that, she did not need anything newer or "better".
"But Weeze I am so proud that you have been chosen to be Ravenclaw's new prefect." Gab said
with pride and a little bit of disappointment in the fact that she would not let him buy her
something as a reward.
" I know you are proud of me, heck, half the street knows you are proud of me. Not a single
person has passed us with out you telling them that I'm the new Ravenclaw prefect. And don't
even think about putting it in the Quibbla I have already owled Mr. Gazal, Your Printer, and
informed him that if you try to publish anything about the new prefects at Hogwarts that he is
to immediately erase it before you print it." At this Gab's face fell. That was to be the headline
story in his next edition with a large picture of Luna on the front 'prefects of Hogwart's and their
lives' it was going to be mostly about her. But suddenly a thought hit him and he smiled.
" Hey Luna, anything left on your list?"
"Yes, why?"
" Good we have to get home ASAP."
"Wha."
"Can't explain now just Floo home and ill meet you there." Gab said then he disapperated with
Luna's school stuff.
As she entered the house thru the grate she noticed, a string tied to the arm of the nearest
chair's arm. She instinctively took it and began to follow it thru the house, up the stairs and to
her mother's study. She hesitated, she had seldom went in there since her mother had died, it was
filled with so many happy memories and two horrible ones. The first was seeing her mother die.
She had been sitting on her mother's chair watching her when the charm went terribly wrong and
Rica shade around the study and even Rica shade of Luna's own tiny glassed right before it hit
her mother in the back. When her mother fell to the floor, dead, that word made Luna feel so
cold inside that she shuttered, she had flung herself on her mother. She tried to find her pulse,
she had none, so she tried to do CPR and yell for her father. In the end, Luna collapsed on her
mother's lifeless body and cried. When he father finally got up to them there was nothing he
could do for Louise, his wife and Luna's mum, so he pried his Luna off her mother and called
the funeral home. The other memory that Luna could remember was the day of her mother's
funeral. Luna went up to her mother's and cried until they left for the funeral and burial services.
All she could think was how happy and peaceful she looked. That is what Luna wanted, she felt
so sad, and alone inside that she just wanted to go and be with her mother. After the services
where over with and all of her mum's and dad's friends left Luna went back up to her mum's
study to join her and with every intention to do so she went to her mum's study at the end of the
hall. All she took with her was a small paring knife, it was just small enough that her dad would
not see it. She entered her mum's study, sat in the exact center of the room and made two small
incisions in the crooks of her arms and then down her forearms to her wrists then across her
wrists. She watched as the crimson flow began to stain the wood floor with her blood. Then
everything began to go foggy and fuzzy then she blacked out. The next thing she saw was
exactly what she had planed, her mum's beautiful face, "Luna it is not your time yet". "But
Mummy it was not yours eth." "yes it was Luna darling." "But you did not finish bringing me
up and daddy still needs you and I." "No honey, you don't need me any more and nether dose
your Daddy, but your dad still needs you. Go back to him now and when it is your time, I will
come and get you. Please don't try this again. You have a family of beautiful children and a
husband that is to good looking for his own good waiting just down the road for you. I love you
and I will always be with you. Take care of your father for me and I will see you soon, in your
dreams." and with that she winked and Luna began to see light piercing thru the darkness that
now surrounded her and her fathers anguished sobs. Why was he crying and why do I feel so
weak is all Luna could register but she slowly opened her eyes to she that everything around her
was a brilliant, blinding light. She slowly tried to move her hand to touch his up it was too heave
and it hurt so badly when she tried to move it. She let out a little moan of pain. At that sound Gab
looked up at his daughter and flung his arms around her. At the pain she felt in her arm when she
tried to move it she remembered, she had tried to kill herself and what her mother had said. Thru
his sobbing the only thing Luna could understand was "why? Why did you try to kill yourself?
Was I not a good enough father? Was it because you thought that I could not raise you and that
you would be better off dead then have me raise you by myself?" "No.!" Luna managed to say
with all sounds of a commander giving an order. "I felt so sad and I wanted to see mom again so
bad, I wanted to be with her, she looked so happy I just." Luna had trained off.
That had been the last time she had been in her mum's study. Why was her father
bringing her in there now? As she walked in the room she saw the huge crimson stain on the
floor. That had been where she had tried to end it all, it had been six ½ years since then, the
medi-wizards had healed her cuts. She had made such precise clean cuts that she had a scare that
you could barely see and if anyone asked she could say it had been a muggle surgery that she
had done when she was little, but no one had ether ever noticed or had never asked about it.
"Since you will not let me buy you anything I thought I could give you this." Gab said
handing Luna an invisibility cloak. It was a little large for her, a little how ever was an
understatement, "It is large enough to cover 2 full grown adults if need be. Your mother and I" at
the mention of Luna's mum brings tears to Gab's eyes and one lone tear fails, "would sneak out
at night when we where at Hogwarts. It cam in handy for all sorts of thing, and yes we used it
for more stuff then just sneaking out behind the green houses or the Astronomy tower to make
out. One night I remember we saw a very strange sight. There was what looked like a grim, a
wolf, and a stag walking towards the Womping Willow. As they approached it the branches did
not move and they entered it." Gab said with a laugh and the tears seemed to disappear from his
eyes, leaving the trail of the lone tear behind.
"So why are you giving it to me?" Luna asked while fighting off tears.
"Because she wanted you to have it and I don't need it anymore. I have finally let my
grief go and so I am giving it to you." Luna knew how hard it was for him to give it to her. She
would remember when she was little and thunderstorms would come. She would hide under her
covers, her mum would come into her room and pick Luna up and take her into the living room
where she always had a fire going and wrap Luna up in the invisibility cloak. At the though
Luna finally broke down into tears.
"Thank you daddy." Some how she choked out the words and pounced on her father. He
sat there for an hour just holding her while she cried.
The next few weeks flew by as Luna began to pack everything she would need for school. Her dad found a charm that he could put on her CD player and her CDs so she could listen to them at school. The night before September 1 came and her and her father when to a local pub for Karaoke night. They both had fun. Her dad did this song called "Dead ringer for love" and Luna did a song called "All revved up with no place to go". The next morning they slowly got ready for the car ride to Kings cross and Luna leaving for her 5th year at Hogwarts.
A/N I know I have done better but please still REVIEW.PLZ * puppy eyes * Brie Cheese Eater- thank you for your review and maybe you will pick up the hint I put in the story.
Silently pensive- I'm sorry it took so long but if you read my other story you will see I have been busy, plus taking care of the world has not helped any.
Thekecmaster- thank you and hopefully this will be a better chapter. I am so touched that you have added me to your favorite lists.
Lady K4- thank you for all your suggestions and I might use them a little if that is ok. And thank you for reading this story too. You all get a dozen black roses with silver stems. (reference to another story)
