A/N: Sorry for the long wait!

Harry and Luna stepped off of the Hogwarts express.

"Now Harry, just a quick reminder, my father is....well, a bit odd." said Luna her face turning red.

"Im sure he'll be great!" said an apprehensive Harry. Harry had read the quibbler which Luna's father was the editor off. It wasn't exactly the most normal thing around.

"Oh there he is!" squealed Luna running into the arms of a tall sandy blonde haired man. Harry quickly walked over to Lunas father and Introduced himself.

"Hello Mr. Lovegood, Im Harry Potter." stated Harry.

"My goodness! This couldn't possibly be the boyfriend you've been writing to me all about can it Looniekins? you wouldn't be lucky enough to date the famous Harry Potter!?" John Lovegood said with a laugh. Luna gave him a playful slap.

From out of nowhere stepped a tall thin blonde-haired women, who many men would kill to date.

"Ah! Why you are adorable!" said the women looking at Luna. "Your father has told me oh so much about you!" gushed the women with what was obviously, fake, adoration. For some reason this women reminded Harry strongly of someone but he couldn't place who.

"And yet I know nothing of who you are." said Luna coldly.

"Umm....Luna this is Anne. She's my umm very good friend." stammerd Mr. Lovegood.

Luna raised her eyebrows."You mean girlfriend." It may have been Harrys imagination, but it seemed that Anne was staring at Harry intently as if she was making mental notes.

"Well we better get going so I can fix dinner early. And by the way Anne, this is Lunas boyfriend Harry...." Mr. Lovegood didn't finish his sentence.

"Yes, Harry Potter. Of course I know who you are! Im Anne Long." Anne said holding her hand out. Harry took it apprehensivly.

"I don't like that Anne character." said Luna. Harry and Luna were now in Lunas bedroom

"Me neither. There's something about her I don't trust." stated Harry.

Luna nodded. "We best too keep a watch on her."

"Kids, it's time for dinner! come on down!" came the voice of Anne.

Luna and Harry shot eachother disgruntled looks. "Kids, it's time for dinner!" mocked Luna in a baby voice.

"So, Anne where do you work?" asked Luna in a mock cheery voice at dinner.

"Oh, ummm the minestry." stammered Anne.

"Oh really? What department?" asked Harry with a mishevious grin.

"Oh.....Ummm the department of mysteries." Said a pompus Anne shooting Harry the dirtiest look she could muster.

"Oh yes Luna and Harry have been........" started Mr. Lovegood. Luna shot her father a dirty look. He was about tell of Luna and Harrys escapades in 5th year there.

"Luna and Harry have been where? Sweetheart." questioned Anne.

"We've been ummm thinking of a job in the ministry." said Luna quickly.

Anne gave her a strange look. "Now, now, it's not polite to interrupt your father! You wouldn't want anyone thinking you were...hiding something." she shot Harry a knowing look.

"Oh Anne, don't you think you should be heading home soon? It's getting late." said Luna hinting.

"Oh darling you haven't told her have you?" said Anne full of fake concern.

"Told me what?" Luna said slowly.

"Well honey, Anne lives with us." said Mr. Lovegood even more slowly.

Luna blew up. "WHAT?!?! You mean you married her and you didn't even tell me???? I can't belive this!"

"No, no, It's not like that. Calm down. Were not married. Were just dating." said Mr. Lovegood.

"Im outta hear." screamed Luna.

Harry got up to follow her.

"Do try to reason with her will you?" asked Mr. Lovegood.

Harry nodded. "I'll try."

Harry had followed Luna out into the back yard and they were both sitting on a swing. Tears were streaming down Lunas face.

"I never thought father would date. I mean, what about my mum? And that women is absolutely horrible! Father is not even acting like himself." rambled Luna.

"I know." Thats all Harry could think of to say.

"Harry, I know this is a bit rude of me to be complaining of my father. When you never knew yours." said Luna.

Harry gazed at Luna and thought how beautiful she was, even when she was crying."No, it's okay. I can understand how you feel. I've lost people who are close to me."

"Yeah I guess you are the only one who can understand. You see, after mum died my father made a promise to me. He said that he would only date someone if I approved. And well, I don't with Anne. And it seems he doesn't care!" said Luna.

"Look, Im sure he does care. It's just, when you like someone, it can do funny things to you. I mean, I never thought I'd be dating Loony lovegood!" said Harry playfully.Luna laughed. "But seriously, Luna I have something to give you." said Harry taking out a small red velvet box.

Luna took it. "What's this?"

"I was going to give it to you for Christmas, but I think now is appropriate." said Harry.

Luna opened it. Inside was a small ring with a red stone on it. "Oh my gosh! It's beautiful!" exclaimed Luna.

"It's a promise ring. It's so you'll know that I will always love you." said Harry

"Y...you love me?" stammerd Luna.

"Forever and for always."

"I love you too!" whispered Luna.

Harry then leaned over and gave Luna a long kiss.

Despite Anne, Luna and Harry enjoyed a wonderful christmas. Harry found Mr. Lovegood to be a wonderful yet a bit loopy man. He also forgave him for his lake of tast in women. After all, Harry had liked Cho.
