Here comes the second chapter...

The bell rang. Professor Snape snapped at me when I answered my question the wrong way. The teachers don't like me very much. I could tell by their tone and attitude towards me. I suppose the only prof that is tolerable towards me is Professor McGonagal.

I walked up the marble stairwell up to the Ravenclaw common room. Oh, how I wish I were in Griffindor at this very moment. Nobody in Ravenclaw likes me. They think I am too weird and senseless. People in Griffindor are a little nicer.

"Hey, Lovegood." Said the boys behind her. "I often wonder why the sorting hat placed you in Ravenclaw. It's obvious that you don't have brainpower. Your just a luna-tic."

They broke off snickering loudly.

"Be strong." I said to myself. "Mother would have told me to forgive them. They don't know what their saying."

I continued to walk on ignoring their cruel comments. When I finally reached my dormitory; my roommates looked at me in disgusted.

"Let's get out before Loony tells us another one of her crazy stories." A girl with blonde hair said as she walked out with her friends.

I closed the door behind me and sank to the floor. Acidic tears ran down my cheek. I brushed it away impatiently.

Why are people so cruel? I am just being myself. Can't I share my experiences with other people? Is it just so hard to be nice? Why am I crying? I promised mother to be strong. I just have to.

I stood up and looked out the window at the full moon.

"Hello my dear friend." I said sadly to it. "You're the only one I can talk to now. I wish you were real, so you can reply me and answer my questions. I know you're a lot smarter than me, but we're related. We're both called moon."

Just then, something caught my eye. I saw a dark shadow across the lawn near the violent tree. I studied it carefully and tried to make out the figure. I couldn't.

"Goodnight my friend." I said to the moon and went to my bed.

I got settled in and took out a book. This book was given to my by my mother and father. It told many stories about the past. Each chapter, the story went a year back. I started reading it when mother passed away. It brought back the memories of her. This chapter began thousands and thousands years ago. It was about a young man that was forbidden to fallen in love with the girl because they were from two very different family histories. I like these stories, they remind me of mother and father. Father was forbidden to marry mother, but he still did. It was like a fairytale.

"Luna." A voice said from behind. "LUNA."

I awoke finding Ginny poking me with her wand. This was History class. This class is most boring of all courses. There's no imagination for the soul.

"Huh?" I said dreamily.

"How was your summer?" Ginny asked happily.

"It was great." I replied. "Father and I went all around the place finding new creatures to write about."

"That cool." She said. "I was wondering if you would want to go to Hogsmade with me next week. I am looking for a winter cloak."

I was surprise with her offer and touched at the same time.

"Of course." I replied immediately. "I'd love too."

"That's great." She said happily. "I am so glad. I always like shopping with a friend."

I finally have a friend. I used to dream of having friends. Even though they were from fairy tales and such, but they were loving and faithful. Ginny Wealsy finally became my friend. I never had one before. I hope to live up to her standards and be as loving and faithful to her as much as possible. Is friendship as beautiful as it seems? I know not. I don't care though; I finally have a friend. Mother would have been so proud.

Ginny looked curiously at me. I smiled at her and decided that history class so the most interesting of all.

"Thank you, Ginny." I said to myself. "I am so glad to have you."

I was practically dancing up the marble stairs after dinner. Ginny and I ate dinner together and talked about many things. I stood at my bedroom window looking at my dear friend, the moon.

"I have someone else to confine my secrets to now." I said. "But you are still my best friend."

Once again, I saw the dark figure lurking on the lawn. I decided to push my luck today and investigate. I crept out of the common room and strolled down the stair to the lawn.

"Harry?" I said as I met the figure.

He turned around and looked at me curiosity

"Is that you Luna?" He asked.

"Yep." I said.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"What are you doing here?" I asked back.

"I am just looking for my memories."

"That cool." I said dreamily, thinking about my book.

"It is?" Harry asked. "Don't you find me weird?"

"Why would I?" I said happily. "You're literally looking for your soul."

"I am?"

"Of course." I said. "Memories make up who you are."

Harry frowned and continued.

"I want to get into the Shrieking Shack." Harry admitted.

"Sure." I encouraged.

"Aren't you going to stop me from doing that?" Harry asked surprised thinking of Ron's reaction when he first mentioned it.

"Why?" I answered. "It's your right. Besides, I think you deserve to regain your memories of your Godfather."

"Sirius." Harry whispered.

"He was a good man." I said. "He saved us."

"He was a good father too." Harry said.

"Come on, your going to see him again soon." I said.

"I've gotten over it already." Harry said sadly. "I know he's dead."

"He isn't." I said with dignity. "They're behind the veil in a world with angels."

"Angels?"

"Yes, angels." I said. "Beautiful angels that take sadness away."

"You think?" Harry said uncertainly.

"Yep." I replied. "I am never wrong on that."

Harry smiled. It was although he hadn't smile for a long time. His smile was odd, but sincere and gay. I smiled dreamily at him.

"Aren't we going into the Shrieking Shack?" I asked.

"Yes." Harry said confidently.

"How are we going to get in?" I asked.

"That question is answered." Harry said as he picked up a stick.

I followed Harry to the edge of the violent tree. He probed the knot with the stick and the tree froze reviling a hole. We slide in.

Next Chapter will come soon. Inside the Shrieking Shack will be in the next chap. Please Review. Thank you.
