Ok, finally, I'm back. Let's just get on with reviews (if you reviewed
since last chap and It's not up here I'm sorry but I am all messed up and
accidentally deleted my e-mail so just live with it please)
*metalhead13: you made me laugh. THANK YOU! Neways, Luna's not really evil, just that's what she said. She really does like Harry. I have never done any fluff before so me glad you like. Well anywhoo, yeah.
*Lady Lorene: yeah, it was short, well this one should be longer, hopefully.
*Daughter of Black: I actually have no idea what's gonna happen to George at the moment. Hmmm.
*FredandGeorge4eva: as I said above, I dunno, he probably won't die.
*AngelMeroko: I'm really sorry but I don't do the whole e-mail update thing. I hope you'll still read though. Srry, just safety reasons. :)
*tomsgurl4lyfe: okey dokey, here's the update.
***Well, that was fun. Before I run out of Ideas I better continue, with no further a due.the story:
Hermione stared at the blank piece of paper for a long time. She had no idea what to write. Figuring it was best to start off with 'Dear George' she dipped her pen in ink and started to write. She got as far as 'Dear Ge- ' when Ron burst in the common room and stopped, breathing heavily, next to Hermione.
"What," he began still gaping for air, "Is Romeo and Juliet?" Hermione couldn't help it, she burst out laughing. "Well?" he asked again impatiently.
"Sorry it's just" she paused laughing some more, "I never thought you'd run franticly up to me to ask about a book."
Ron looked annoyed. "Well I wouldn't of if I had know it was."
Hermione crumpled up her unfinished letter and looked at Ron who had taken a seat next to her. "Why do you ask anyways."
And then Ron asked her something she never thought he'd ask her in a million years, "Can you get it for me? The book I mean?"
Hermione couldn't help but think it was some sort of trick. "Why do you want it so bad?"
Ron took a deep breath and began his story. "Well, I ran after Hayley today after class and she said she hated everyone and the only person she loved was the one she was banned from talking to and she said that was me and then she kissed me and said it was just like Romeo and Juliet and so I had to know what that was and came to ask you."
He said it in one big sentence, not taking a single breath. "Well," was all Hermione could answer. Ron looked desperate.
"Please Mione!" he begged. I wanna know what she means!" Hermione sighed and drew out another sheet of parchment.
Dear Mum and Dad,
I bet you're worried about me. Sorry I haven't written. My summer was wonderful and so is school so far. I wanted to ask you a favor. Could you mail me my copy of Romeo and Juliet? That would be great. With much love,
Hermione
Ron watched over her shoulder and smiled pleased. "Thanks Mione." He gave her a grateful hug and headed off to bed. Hermione left the common room and started of for the owlery. On the way she ran into a frightened Neville.
"Neville!" she cried as she pulled herself up after tripping over him. "What are you doing here?" He sniffled.
"I forgot the password." Hermione gave an exasperated sigh.
"It's 'dragonantlers,'" she told him. "I'd hurry off to bed now, it's late." Neville didn't move.
"You're out," he pointed out. She sighed again.
"I'm allowed to be Neville, I'm a prefect." Neville looked at her and shrugged.
"Thanks for the password Hermione," and he climbed through the portrait. Hermione, puzzled by Neville's unusual behavior, continued on her way.
*** ***before Hermione ran into Neville***
Hayley sobbed into her pillow. She hated her mom, she hated Malfoy, and she especially hated Slytherin. With a sigh, she pulled herself out of bed and ran out of the girls dormitory, through the nearly empty common room, and out the portrait. Not sure were she was going she headed towards Dumbledor's office. Maybe she could change houses. She was minutes away when someone sent a strong red blast at her back and she crumpled to the ground.
***
Harry and Luna sat by the lake neither saying a word. Harry couldn't help but feel that she was holding something back. He opened his mouth but before he could say a thing, she began to speak.
"When my mum died, I acted much like you do now. I pushed everything I held dear away." Harry's mouth dropped open. She was talking normally to him.
"I ignored my friends, and my family," she continued. Harry bowed his head ashamed. She was right, he had pushed it all away.
Luna turned to face him and he saw genuine tears in her eyes. This was a side of her he had never seen. "Your friends love you Harry Potter. And even as much as I love you, they love you more. Don't make the mistake I did." She smiled at him and stood up. "I think I need to go write to my Dad." Harry stood up and started walking back to the castle with her.
"I think that's a very good idea."
***Ok peoples. There was a really important event in this chapter that I bet you won't understand until later. Do you guys like this new side of Luna? If not, tell me, cause I need to know. Well, till whenever,
