Chapter 1 - Denied Love
Dear Harry,
this may seem very stupid to you, and i'm sure you get theese sort of letters all the time for love-sick fans
who admire you for all you have done. i too admire you, but this is not the sorce of my love for you. Please
don't be offended, suprised or anything else. I have been wanting to say it forever since i met you! the truth
is that i have never quite known how and the recent events have led me to think that, somehow i must tell
you before something goes wrong. the truth is Harry Potter, i love you and i needed to tell you this because
i can't carry on!
With My Love, Luna
Luna growled and ripped up the letter. no matter how much she loved Harry she would not tell him this. never. no matter how much she learned for recent events, she would not tell him how much she was beating herself up over her love for him. Her grades had dropped becuase all she could think about in lessons was him, she had a considerable amount more bruises because all she could think about in Quidditch was HIM! and yet, she would not tell him.
Luna watched with watery eyes as she torn pieces of letter floated gently and landed on the floor limply. then she put her head down on the cold desk of the libary and sighed, closing her eyes.
Next thing she knew, she heard footsteps behind her. She loked up quickely as if thinking she was in soem sort of danger. "Hey Luna, what on earth are you doing?" said a familliar voice. Luna looked wierely up at Gunny Weasley, who was looking down at her with puzzlement.
"Nothing, just tired" Luna said, and she smiled weekly.
"Then why not go to bed? why are you falling asleep in the libary?" Ginny asked, she was about to continue when she saw the pieces of paper on the floor next to Luna. "Ooo . . . what are those?" she said pointing at them, she could see ink on them and obviously it was Luna's writting.
"They are nothing . . .!" Luna cried and bent down to pick them up but Ginny whipped out her wand and cried "Accio ripped parchment" and all the pieces apeared in her hands. "HEY GINNY! GIVE THEM BACK!" Luna cried, standing up.
Ginny looked down at them, obviously they were inportant to Luna, some sort of secret but Ginny couldn't help her curious nature. "Repero!" she cried, and the pieces flew forward and formed Luna's letter in mid-air.
"HEY!" Luna cried, what would she do if Ginny found out? there was panic in her voice, and her hand shook as she reached forward and grabbed it. Ginny also grabbed it, and pulled it away from her friend's grasp. "Ginny, please it's private. why are you doing this?!"
Ginny didn't know why herself, she couldn't stand secrets being kept from her so she read on; "Luna, it's too Harry! why are you writting to Harry?" Luna loked paniced.
"Ginny, stop it! give it back!" she felt around for her wand but couldn't find it, she must of left it in the dorm. Ginny continued to read. "love- sick fans who admire you? -my love for you?! -the truth is Harry Potter i love you?!" Once she had finished reading Ginny looked at Luna in suprise.
Luna hid her face as tears leaked from her watery eyes. Ginny couldn't help but let otu a slight laugh, she knew it wasn't the time nor place and she really didn't want to but she did. This made Luna birst into tears, seh reached forward and grabbed the letter and ran out of the libary crying.
*~*~*
About 10 minutes later Ginny entered her dorm and founf Luna lying face- down on her bed. Ginny felt bad about what she had done it was private and how coudl she mock Luna when she had love for Harry herself (not anymore though)? Ginny sat down on the edge of Luna's bed and coughed slightly.
"What do you want?" Luna sniffed.
"Too say i'm sorry, i really am. i had no right to read that letter-"
"it's just a joke. i don't love him really" Luna said, sitting up a little, her pathetic attempt for a lie pierced Ginny, why wouls she be crying if it was all a lie?
"it's ok Luna, you can tell me. i won't tell a soul!" Ginny cried.
"but i don't love him" Luna cried, sounding, more calm.
"Luna, you don't have to deny it, you know, once i even loved him. there's nothing wrong with love" Ginny sighed, she thought she sounded quite wise.
Luna thought for a moment, Ginny and Harry? and Ginny was right, there was nothing wrong with love . . . but somehow she knew if Ginny knew, the whole school would knwo, and that would mean Harry . . . she really didn't want to tell anyone, but she had to sooner or later, at this moment she thought about the advice she had given Hermione a while ago, and what that had led too . . .
"Luna?" Ginny asked, interupting her daydream.
"Your right Ginny" Luna sniffed, "i can;t deny it . . . please, you can;t tell anyone!"
"i won'y Luna, i promise you i won't!" Ginny cried, she did not find the matter funny anymore, she wanted to help Luna. They both hugged,f riends again. but Ginny still knew Luna had to figure out what to do get over it? tell Harry? or keep it looked up forever? "so . . . when are you goign to tell him?"
"i'm not . . .i can't tell him, and if you tell him, i'll deny it!"
"i won't tell him! i promise Luna, i will help you with this, but for now, i have to go" Ginny smiled as she left for her Transfiguration exta lesson.
Luna sighed as she lay back down, she oculdn't help thinking that tonight she had made a big mistake . . . bit Ginny was right in her thoguhts because Luna must do somthing. it seemed that all she wanted now was to be with Harry, it was overwhelming her and everything else she liked and did . . . she needed help.
