Chapter Seven: Seen it Before
Luna sat down on the bed, bouncing slightly. Harry ran his hand along the edge of the dresser. It was quiet. Luna was staring at the ceiling. (It's weird.. Like you could stare at it all day..) Harry hummed and sighed.
"I'm going to go use the bathroom." he said. Luna brought her eyes down on him and she nodded.
"Hurry back.." she said. He shrugged and walked out, the door closing behind him. Luna leaned back on the wall behind the side of the bed. She ran her finger along the drawings on the comforter. They were squares within squares within squares.. Like it never ended. But it did, obviously. Then, there was a knock on the door. It couldn't be Harry though, unless he was super fast. She slid off the bed and opened the door. It creaked, she noticed.
"Hey is Harry here?" a tall, red-haired man said. It was Ron's brother Charlie and Neville was standing next to him. Charlie resembled Ron a lot. Luna shook her head to Charlie's question.
"Went to the bathroom." she said.
"Oh, well, we'll just be leav-" But she didn't want them to leave. Not yet, anyway. She didn't like being alone.
"Why don't you come in?" she offered, staring at Neville. He was different. He'd come in. He was nice like that. Friendly.. He shrugged at his partner and they came in. Luna sat back down on the bed and grinned, because now she had company. (Phew..) She looked up towards the ceiling again.
"What house are you in?" Charlie asked. About Hogwarts, of course. Luna looked at him, taking him in.
"Ravenclaw." He nodded.
"Oh." Neville started humming a song that Luna had never heard before and he swayed back and forth on his feet. The song reminded Luna of a song she had heard before. It was mean, but it had a nice tune to it.
"Weasley is our King.." she hummed, not noticing Neville and Charlie. Her eyes wavered on Charlie and then back on the ceiling. The white of the ceiling boring into her eyes. Enchanting, like one of those 'Find a picture in a picture' things. The door opened, and Harry stepped back into the room. He hesitated, when he realized Charlie and Neville were here. Then he grinned.
"Oh, hey guys!" he said, in a cheery mood.
"Hey." Neville replied, hands in pockets. They stood like that for a few seconds, no one knowing what to make a conversation of.
"Let's just go." Charlie said to Neville. Neville agreed.
"See you all later." Neville said as they left. The door closed and creaked again. It was an old door. Luna smiled. Years before them, someone had been standing in this very spot, building that door. Harry sat down on the bed next to Luna.
"It's an old door." he said, saying exactly what she was thinking. She nodded, looking at him.
"Yes, it is." she said. She stood up and walked over to the desk, taking a piece of parchment and putting it in front of her. She dipped a quill in some ink and starting drawing. Harry watched her for a while, in his own thoughts about what this game could be. (A little more here..) When she was done, he walked over to her to see what she had drawn. She handed it to him and smiled.
"Familiar?" she asked. He looked at the drawing. It was of a group of people. It suddenly dawned on him that he had, in fact, seen this before. But.. But how did she... She couldn't have.. How in the world?.. Harry looked at Luna in shock. The picture in his hands falling to the floor. His mouth hung open slightly. He noticed this and then closed it.
Luna simply swayed her head from side to side and then got up, spinning around in circles and sitting gracefully down on the bed. Harry looked at her, there was a sparkle in her eyes. He couldn't exactly place where he had seen that sparkle before, but he knew he had seen it. Then it hit him, Dumbledore! It was the same sparkle that Dumbledore always had in his eyes..
Harry kept his eyes on Luna for a while longer and then looked back down at the drawing of his parents' wedding. Maybe there was more to Luna than he knew.. Yes... there was, certainly, more to Luna than he knew.
