Chapter 3:
Luna stared transfixed out the cool, soothing windowpane, which her head laid upon. Today was the day. The day when she would return to her home away from home, or sanctuary. Hogwarts; School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
To Luna, this day couldn't have come fast enough. Every day her father's angry released itself on her, resulting in long, red scratch marks down her back. Every day she barely had more than bread, a chunk of stall cheese, some dry vegetables, and dirty water for both lunch and supper. Breakfast just consisted of milk and a banana.
But school wasn't exactly heaven for her either. Sure, the teachers were nice; ok well except for the potions teacher Professor Snape. But the students in her year in her class of Ravenclaw! They were almost as bad as her father, ordering her here and there, telling her what to do. But there was none worse in Ravenclaw to her than Cho Chang.
Luna to this day could still hear Cho's screams.
"Luna, make my bed!!!!"
"Luna, pick up all my books and stack them in alphabetical order!!!! Now stupid!!!"
And on and on they went. Luna was thankful though. Cho had been two years ahead of her, which meant that Cho would not be going to Hogwarts.
"Thank god." Luna thought miserably as the train passed a herd of grazing sheep. Cho was the last thing on Earth that Luna ever wanted to see again. And now with Cho gone, Luna had Harry Potter all to herself.
It had been known in the Ravenclaw class that Cho Chang had crushed on Harry Potter for about three years. And from what Luna heard, it had been known that Harry liked, or should we say, loved Cho Chang for about three years as well.
Luna's poor heart had been broken right in half when she heard that Cho and Harry were going out. Nothing could relieve her of this feeling until the news came that Harry and Cho had broken up on their first date.
Luna shook her head and put the thought of Harry out of her mind. Why was she being such an idiot!!! She knew that Harry Potter never did, nor would have, any feelings similar to those of hers for him. She had occasionally heard him and his friends sniggering at her.
But before she could ponder these new thoughts, the sound of the train's compartment door opening interrupted her past thoughts.
"O great. Well I guess this will have to do, since it's only Loony in here."
Luna immediately recognized that voice and it took all her strength not to spin around.
"Cmon Ron we better sit down. Seriously, my feet are killing me from walking up and down the aisle six times."
"O please!"
"Will you two stop arguing long enough so I can get out of the aisle and sit down?!"
Luna's brain became alert. It was Him. The man she had loved with all her heart for so many years.
Harry Potter.
The sound of shuffling feet came from behind Luna's back, but she did not dare to turn around.
"Hey Luna."
Luna couldn't believe it. Harry Potter had just said Hi to her!!
Luna just shrugged.
"O my god Luna," said the little voice that was usually nagging at her in the back of her head, "All you can do is SHRUG??? You seriously ARE loony aren't you??"
"Wonder what's wrong with her?" came Ron Weasley's voice.
"Uh, do we really care Ron? Remember she is nothing but Loony." sighed Ginny Weasley's (Ron's little sister) exasperated voice.
Luna could feel the tears begging to be let out of her eyes. But Luna just grabbed her overlarge, filthy shirt and pushed them back.
Once again the door opened and this time, it was a voice Luna hated to hear.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Potty and the Weasel family."
"What the hell do you want Malfoy?" Luna heard Harry snap.
Malfoy laughed.
"Nothing of course Potty. I mean, who would want to hang out with a group like this? A sad and pitiful orphan, two siblings who have to live under a pile of wood called a house and have to borrow other people's clothes cause their parents can't feed the family, they work so bad (Luna swore she could have felt Ron's and Ginny's anger), and a insane loony who spends her whole day in the clouds."
Luna spun around and faced everyone for the first time.
"Shut up." She whispered.
Malfoy just laughed harder.
"Shut up." She said a little bit louder.
"What's wrong Loony? Ashamed that you have mental problems?"
"SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed, clawing Malfoy at the same time with her long, filthy nails.
"Awwwwwww!!!!!" yelled Malfoy clutching his newly stripped face in pain.
Luna heard sniggers coming from behind her.
And this time, she could not stop the tears from coming.
Luna pushed herself past the wailing Malfoy and feld down the aisle to somewhere. She didn't care where. Just so she could be by herself.
"Luna wait!!"
But Luna didn't. The tears came down in storms now. Jumping out of Hermione Granger's hands she fled to the end compartments that stored food and gross plants, some of which Luna did not know.
"Well girls, look who it is. Why it's Loony Lovegood."
Luna knew that sweet and sugary voice. She stopped crying and looked up into the smiling face of Cho Chang.
If Luna's father came up to her, apologized for his actions, and gave her 1000 pounds of sweets, Luna could have not have been more shocked than she was right then.
"Wh-h-hat ar-r-r-re y-y-yo-ou doing here?" Luna stammered.
Cho said simply, "I didn't pass my seventh year finals, so I have to take this year over."
Something in Luna told her that Cho had a little help in failing.
"O"
"Come now." Cho said, pulling Luna to her feet. "My girls will be so happy to see you. Don't worry. They didn't pass either.
Luna gulped heavily as Cho took her to her compartment, where the all-to- familiar slavery was waiting for her.
