Chapter Four: Family troubles part two. Harry and Luna=love?
Harry woke up early the next morning. Ron must have been still asleep. The covers of his canopy were still pulled tight. Harry got up, got himself dressed, and went down for breakfast. Harry was the only one at the Gryffindor table other then a few other first years. Harry helped himself to some toast when his thoughts drifted back to Luna. He had drempt about her all night. Harry didn't realize how long it had been scence something made him really happy.
Harry was not alone with his thoughts for long. Ron joined him soon after, helping himself to some toast as well. "I guess I was a little too hard on her, wasn't I?" Asked Ron as he looked hopefully to Harry. "You don't need me to tell you Ron, you already know." Said Harry as he saw Pig fly down and drop a scarlet envelope and a thick packet of papers in front of Ron. Harry saw the scared look that Ron gave him. "That was a little too fast, I set it out just last night!" panicked Ron. "You're going to have to open it Ron." Said Harry giving his friend a pitied look. Harry knew that his friend got a howler, and if he didn't open it soon, it was going to burst into flames shouting at him anyway. Just as Ron started to open it, Hermione sat down at the Gryffindor table. "Uh-oh" said Hermione, in a very scared tone. Ron opened the letter and the loud yells of Mrs. Weasly filled the great hall.
RONALD! NEVER! NEVER IN MY DAY HAVE I SEEN THIS! I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE LIKE YOUR BROTHERS. Fred AND GEORGE DIDN'T EVEN GET INTO THIS MUCH TROUBLE! I HAVE EVERY RIGHT MIND TO KICK YOU OUT! YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO TAKE CARE OF A CHILD! YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A CHILD! YOU BETTER BE PREPARED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR BABY! NEVER IN MY DAY! AND HERMIONE! I ALWAYS THOUGHT BETTER OF YOU!
Then the letter burst into flames. People in the great hall were all standing on their seats to see who had received the howler, some of them giving Ron and Hermione disgusting looks. Mrs. Weaslys words must have hit Hermione hard, she laid her head on the table and started to weep silently on the table. Ron however moved to the stack of papers on the table, and the note from his dad attached.
Ron,
I have gotten your mum to cool off, she has agreed to help you out with the baby until you graduate from school. It's partly our fault. We never gave you the talk, or told you of the . . . precautions of that kind of thing. Although I am quite disappointed in you, we will help you two out as much as we can.
Dad.
Ron, who had read the letter out loud smiled very large. He felt extremely relieved that his family understood and that he was going to receive some help from their end. They had even signed all of the paper work needed to take the classes. Harry felt a new sort of gratitude toward Mr. Weasly that he had never felt before. He loves his kids so much that he was willing to help them out, even in the worst situations.
Hermione looked up, and smiled. "OH RON! THAT'S SO GREAT OF YOUR DAD!" cried Hermione as she wrapped her arms around him. Ron noticed that almost every person in the great hall was looking at them. All the way at the end of the hall, Harry could hear Malfoy, and the other slytherin laughter. Ron's ears turned scarlet and he patted Hermione's back. "Yup, everything will be all right." He said to himself more then he did to her.
Harry, Ron and Hermione headed to potions with their least favorite teacher, Professor Snape. He seemed in a particular bad mood when they walked in the room, he didn't even wear the sly smile that he saved for the taking points away from Gryffindor. Harry, Ron and Hermione walked in silently and took out their cauldron. They could hear Malfoy doing impressions of Ron's mum screaming at him on the top of her lungs from the other side of the room. Ron's ears begin to turn scarlet and he started mumbling something about "after class"
Professor Snape looked around the room and let his eyes rest on Ron and Hermione. He gave a sneer and started the class. "Today we are going to discuss potions used by dark wizards. Mr. Potter can you name one?" said Snipe while looking at Harry with piercing eyes. "Polyjuice Potion." Answered Harry, He knew this because he, Hermione, and Ron used this in their second year to figure out if Malfoy was the Heir of Slytherin. "Can anyone else tell me more?" Sneered Snape. Hermione's hand shot up, much like it usually did in class. Professor Snape rolled his eyes. "I suppose you'll die if I don't pick you Mrs. Granger, tell me another." Said Snipe in his cold voice. "Wo . . . Wolf . . . " Harry looked over at Hermione to see what the problem was. She had turned that horrible shade of green and ran from the class. "Well, well. 50 points from Gryffindor for leaving without being dismissed. How disgusting that girl is." Said Professor Snipe with a cold smile on his face. Harry looked over at Ron and noticed that he had sprung up from his seat. Harry tried to grab the back of his shirt, be it was too late, Ron had started for Professor Snape with his cauldron. "SHE IS NOT DISGUSTING YOU SON OF A . . . " But before Ron could finish Snape had shot a spell at him, making him unable to speak. Ron stopped, stunned that Professor Snape used a spell against him. "That is IT Weasly, a week of detection and a further fifty points from Gryffindor for trying to attack a teacher. Be lucky Weasly, I could have suspended you, but I disarray that you need school now with your 'situation'" Scuffed Snape. "Tonight's homework, two parchments full of potions used by dark wizards, and what it was used to do. Class dismissed" Said Snape as he restored Ron's voice.
Ron had swore all of the way to the great hall for lunch. They sat down, expecting to see Hermione, but she wasn't there. "She must be in the infirmary. I guess I'll go look for her, see you then Harry." Said Ron as he got up gloomily. Harry was alone yet again, he started on some kidney pie when Luna had slipped him a note. Harry picked it up, and turned around to look at her table. She had her blond wavy hair partway up, and had a few strands in her face, Harry had to admit she looked very attractive (Despite the very large star earrings she was wearing). He picked up the note and started to read it.
Harry,
Meet me at the lake at seven. Come alone.
Luna.
Harry was actually very excited now, and had something to look forward to. He decided to leave his lunch and head to the common room to see if Ron and Hermione were there. He said the password to the fat lady and walked it, to find only Ron and Hermione in it. Hermione was sobbing in a corner of the room, showing Ron a letter. Ron had gone extremely pale and looked at Hermione very concerned. Harry walked over and was unsure what to do. "What's the matter?" asked Harry in a concerned tone. Hermione got up and ran from the room to the girls dormitories. Harry looked at Ron, who looked like he wanted to run after her, but once he realized that he wasn't able too stopped and sat back down. "Ron, what's the matter, what happened?!?" Asked Harry in a very commanding tone. "Well . . . Well even though Hermione's parents signed her packet to take the classes . . . they . . . well, kicked her out and told her that she had to live with me now, or she will be homeless. Um . . . that was a little harsh." Said Ron, unsure on what else to say. Harry sat down and looked at his friend. They had sure gotten themselves into a huge mess.
Harry headed to the lake around seven, to meet Luna. Harry wasn't sure about what she wanted, but he was excited to see her nevertheless. Harry saw Luna as soon as the lake became in clear view. He took a deep breath and walked up to her. "Hey Luna, what's up?" asked Harry in a would- be causal voice. Luna turned around and looked at Harry in the eyes. Her blue eyes seemed to be reflecting from the lake, they looked so clear and full of love. Her hair was still in the half ponytail that she had it in earlier, but it was starting to fall out, leaving some wavy strands in her face. "I just wanted to talk Harry, you're very easy to talk to, I like that." Said Luna to Harry. Harry looked up and gave Luna a very warm smile. Luna grabbed Harry's hand and started to walk around the lake with him. She had started talking about her life, talking about her father, the magazine, and then the conversation landed on her mother.
"She was very beautiful, I always thought that she was the most beautiful thing in the world. I remember the day that she died. I was sitting in the living room, reading one of daddies magazines, and she stumbled into the room. She smelled very heavily of smoke. I could tell at once that something had gone wrong. She used to practice spells on herself, and this particular one had a bad after effect." Luna stopped and closed her eyes. Harry put his hand on her arm. "You don't need to continue Luna." Said Harry full of concern. He knew all to well of what it was like to reveal information like that it hurt him so much to see Luna going threw the same thing. "No, I need to. It's the only way to heal your self. That's why everyone thinks im so crazy, I've kept to myself, burring myself in my dad's magazines, Its time I talked about it." Admitted Luna more to herself then to Harry. "When she walked into the room, she didn't seem herself at all, she didn't seem to know where she was, she thought that she was still in her room. She started yelling at me, 'You know better then to be in my room, you could be hurt Luna! GET OUT NOW!' she yelled . . . then she just fell to the floor. I was so scared. I got up and started to shake her, but she didn't respond . . . my father had just gotten back from his red-room when he saw her laying there on the floor, He told me to leave to my room, he started crying . . . " Said Luna, as her voice became shaky.
"Medi-wizards had come by the house and took her away. But it was too late, she was gone. She never even said good-bye. My last memory of my mum is her yelling at me. I wish I could have gotten to know her better. I wasn't that old when she died. My father misses her too, I feel that he thinks she's still around, he still talks to her when he is in the house. I just don't know what to do anymore!" She cried. Harry looked over at her, He had felt sorry for himself all summer, and his depression about Siruis being dead. But all of that stopped when he saw Luna crying. Harry looked into Luna's blue eyes, brimming with tears. Harry wrapped his arms around Luna, feeling deeply sorry for her. She let herself cry unto Harry, Harry could feel her warm tears roll down his back. Last year when he kissed Cho, she too had been crying over Cedric, but Harry didn't really want to talk about that, considering he saw him die, but having Luna cry on him made him want to do everything in his power to help her.
Luna let go after several moments, and looked at Harry. "Im so lucky to know you. You mean so much to me!" Smiled Luna. It was she this time that kissed Harry. It wasn't like when he kissed her the first time, this time it was better, he seemed unaware that it was getting later, darker . . . He seemed unaware of everything around him. It was just Luna and him, sharing a great moment. When their lips came apart Harry felt his, face turn red, Luna smiled and pointed to the stars. "Oh! Look Harry, a shooting star! Make a wish." Said Luna as she closed her eyes. Harry thought for a moment and found a wish that he figured seemed just right for the moment. He looked into Luna's eyes and smiled "I wish that this moment will last forever."
Harry walked back into the common room, today was the first Friday of the term so lots of people were up late and in the common room, doing homework, talking to friends, and just hanging out. Ron and Hermione were in their usual corner doing homework. Harry sat down and decided to start on his potions homework. He opened his book and looked over at Ron. Ron was pretending to read, but kept a sideways glance at Hermione. Harry could see why, her eyes were all red and puffy, it was very apparent that she had been crying all day. She had busied herself with a book, reading it silently to herself.
"Harry, could I have a word with you for a moment" whispered Ron to Harry. They got up and went to an empty part of the room, Hermione didn't even notice them getting up. "Harry, I think she's lost it!" panicked Ron. "She has done nothing but read all day, she hasn't even separated herself from a book, do you think she's lost it?!?" asked Ron in a very demanding tone. "No . . . she always reads, that's just Hermione for you, and im sure she's using that as a way to hide from her feelings right now. Just leave her at it for a while" answered Harry to Ron. "I guess that's true. I just feel so bad for her. She wrote her mum again . . . but I don't see any good that will do, I feel bad, this is my fault you know . . . " went Ron. "Well, see if that letter talks them into their right mind, and don't worry, what's done is done, look forward to the future." Said Harry, giving his friend, some advise. "Okay, thanks . . . wait . . . why are you so happy? Where were you?" asked Ron with a very sly smile on his face.
"er . . . " said Harry before he explained that Luna and him went for a walk together. Harry said everything except for the story about Luna's mum and the kiss. Harry was sure that Ron felt that Harry was keeping something from him. "You kissed her again, didn't you." Said Ron giving his friend a slight nudge. "Well, actually, she kissed me." Answered Harry, looking over at Ron. "Well, watch what you do mate. You don't want to end up like me." Said Ron as he walked back over to the table.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, J. K does, please don't sue me . . . all I can give you right now is Dr. Filibusters Fabulous Wet-start, No heat Fireworks (throws a bucket on a box full, and runs off with the contract while everyone is avoiding the stars bouncing all over the place) BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
