A/N: This is my first fanfic! Please don't kill me if it sucks...I tried.

It's Harry/Luna, with a little bit of background romance between ?/? (it wouldn't be fun if I told you! maniacal laughter)

OK, now, scenes are separated by this symbol:

Disclaimer: Awww...do I have to? Oh, all right. I admit. I am not JK Rowling. sobs There, see, YOU MADE ME CRY! takes cookie and stops crying Ah, one of the two solutions to everything.

Am I JKR yet?

Harry sighed. It had been two weeks since Sirius had gone beyond the Veil and Voldemort had made his official re-appearance in the Wizarding world. He had just sent Hedwig off with his well-being report to Grimmauld Place. He said in the report that he was fine, even though the Dursleys had, once again, locked Harry in his room. He didn't want to go back to Sirius's old home and be reminded that it was his fault his Godfather had died.

He instinctively looked out the window for Hedwig, even though he'd just sent her off less than five minutes before. He felt horrible. If he'd just listed to Hermione about Occlumency...

Harry jumped, upsetting Hedwig empty cage, which had been balanced precariously at the foot of Harry's bed. It burst open on the floor and some of Hedwig's droppings had landed on the floor.

'Is that what I...no it can't..." Harry didn't have time to finish his thought, because a large golden eagle had landed on Harry's windowsill with an envelope in its beak. One of the talons on its foot rapped loudly on Harry's closed window.

Harry quickly threw open the window, and the eagle glided majestically inside, landing on one of Harry's bedposts. Dropping the letter on Harry's bed, it flew over to Harry's dresser and screeched loudly.

Silently thanking that the Dursleys were out for the day, Harry scrambled to his bed, which was a mere three feet away from his window, and grabbed the letter. His name was written in unfamiliar handwriting. It looked somewhat...he couldn't think of the right word...dreamy and a little ethereal. Breaking the magical seal on it, he began to read.

'Harry Potter,

'Do you remember me? This is Luna.' Luna? Why was Luna writing to him?

'How are you feeling? You are probably feeling horrible because of your Godfather. You will see him again, and sooner than you may think.

'Here is something that might cheer you up. Daddy and I found loads of tracks made by a Crumple-Horned Snorkack!' Harry smiled for the first time in almost a week.

'Daddy and I also found a golden eagle here,' the eagle on Harry's dresser screeched again, as if to say "that's me." Harry continued reading, 'We caught Ariadne and we are trying to train her. I think that she will carry letters sent by Daddy and me, but I am not sure if she will carry letters back. I wouldn't try attaching letters to her leg, like an owl. She did not seem to enjoy it very much.

'We are returning from Sweden on Saturday. If you do not want to go back to your Godfather's house,' How did she know? 'then I am certain that Daddy will let you visit us. If you are allowed, then Daddy and I will arrive by Floo Powder as soon as we receive your answer.

'Luna'

Harry looked at the calendar on his wall. However, being stuck in his room, he had no idea what day it was. He thought it was probably Monday or Tuesday. All he knew was that Sirius had died fifteen days before. Now if he could only remember what day that was...

A loud screech interrupted his thoughts. Harry turned quickly, having forgotten that Luna's eagle, Ariadne, was still waiting for him to write his letter and send it back to Luna.

"Wait for a bit. My Aunt and Uncle aren't back yet." Harry chided Ariadne. The eagle merely screeched again. She was clearly getting impatient with waiting.

At that very moment, Harry heard the unmistakable sound of a car pulling into Number Four's driveway. A minute later, Harry heard the sounds of multiple car doors closing and footfalls coming up the driveway and into the house. The Dursleys were home at last.

A/N: OK, I know it's short and I'm sorry. I wanted to get this up fairly quickly. This story is probably going to have short chapters and quick updates. At least for now. The chapters may get longer once we get back to Hogwarts, but for now, they are fairly short. When we do get back to Hogwarts, don't expect lightning-quick updates. And...what am I forgetting...oh yeah. SCHOOL IS STARTING NEXT WEEK FOR ME. High School...finally. I've been waiting for EIGHT FREAKIN' YEARS! Oh, one more thing, I am prone to Writer's Block and am open to ANY new ideas that come my way. Oh, and anyone who can think of a good title, please let me know what it is. You can reach me through reviews, since my e-mail doesn't work most of the time.

Now for a nice little contest...Hogwarts isn't starting up for a while, sooo...the first twenty reviewers get to be the new students. Just give me a name and the House you want to be in at the end of your review (no real names please) and you will be the new Hogwartians!

Thanks for reading this far!
