Thanks for the reviews!!!

A/N Ok so I didn't finish it by Christmas, I got distracted, I'm sorry but here's the next chapter anyway

Chapter 5-------the end of the story

Harry ran until he couldn't run anymore, he didn't know where he was but he kept on walking anyway. Soon Harry's leg cramped up and Harry sat on a rock and thought about the past 10 minutes. He knew he had been stupid to run out of the house like that, but seeing that killed him. Suddenly Harry heard a branch break and Harry spun around his wand out barley 1 foot away from Luna's nose.

"You know you could poke someone's eye out," Luna stated serenly.

"Thanks for the input," Harry replied and put his wand back in his robes.

"Here, I thought you might need this," Luna said handing Harry his jacket.

"Thanks," Harry replied then felt a piece of paper inside the shirt sleeve.

"I thought you might want another look," Luna suggested.

"You were wrong," Harry said giving Luna the piece of paper.

Luna took the paper and watched as Harry walked away and glared at nothing. It was peculiar, through the entire time he was at her house he was either angry or completely glum, he was only happy sometimes. Luna didn't understand, she understood most things, yes but why he was like this she couldn't explain.

"Harry could I ask you something?" Luna asked seriously.

"I suppose," Harry shrugged.

"Why do you hate Christmas?" Luna asked.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked looking over at her.

"Why don't you like Christmas?" Luna asked again.

"Why do you want to know?" Harry replied trying to avoid the subject.

"Please just answer the question," Luna said walking over to where Harry was sitting and sat next to him.

"I don't know," Harry lied. Harry knew perfectly well why he didn't like Christmas spending time with families happiness, it was all stupid to someone who had no family, it was especially stupid when families threw it in your face without meaning to.

"Yes you do, you just don't want to tell me," Luna replied.

"What do you want me to say Luna?" Harry asked.

"I want you to say the truth Harry, why you've been like this, why you just don't care anymore," Luna replied her face completely serious, her dreamy state was completely gone.

"Why tolerate happiness when its just going to be taken from you," Harry said rhetorically.

"Because it makes you happy," Luna answered.

"Yeah and then when its taken away from you, you end up like me," Harry argued.

"Harry that's you, look what happened to me!" Luna exclaimed.

"What do you mean, you have always been like this," Harry replied.

"Harry, no I wasn't, I was normal at one time, I just wanted to fit in, my mother was the different one. She would embarrass me to death! But then the explosion happened and we had been arguing over the fact that my mom wanted to be myself and I wanted to be normal, if I had only been myself the conversation would have never happened and my mom wouldn't have mixed the wrong chemicals and my life wouldn't be like this but it did and I live with that, but Harry you are taking grieving to a whole other level," Luna explained.

"You mean to tell me that you're like this because of your mothers death?" Harry asked.

"It's what my mom wanted, Harry is this what he wanted, because I don't think it is, life has dealt you some pretty rotten cards, orphan, stupid relatives, death, but Harry its given you a whole new world with friends and a family of redheads who would adopt you on the spot then see you go back to those Dursleys if they could," Luna answered.

"Luna, I cant be happy, I have nothing in me to be happy about," Harry replied.

"Why cant you be happy that your alive?" Luna asked.

"Because I don't want to even be alive anymore," Harry answered.

"Why?" Luna asked.

"Why, because if I died I could be with my parents and Sirius," Harry answered.

"But then we would have to live without…" Luna began

"To kill Voldemort," Harry finished.

"No, we would have to live without those bright green eyes ever again," Luna answered.

"You would miss my eyes if I died?" Harry asked.

"Well and your smile, and the hair," Luna smiled.

"So you wouldn't miss my sense of humor?" Harry asked.

"Well Ron was always the funny won, Hermione the smart one, you were the leader," Luna answered.

"Great I don't even have any skills," Harry replied and stood up.

"Why do you need skills?" Luna asked standing up as well.

"Girls only like guys with skills," Harry answered.

"Well you are good at Defense Against the Dark Arts," Luna suggested

"Great so I can hex them to love me," Harry said sarcastically.

"Well that's always a turn on," Luna joked.

"Good, I need one of those," Harry replied turning to Luna who's dreamy state was back.

"How do you do it?" Harry asked.

"What do you mean?" Luna asked back

"How do you make me mellow out when I'm emotional?" Harry asked,

"Emotional?" Luna questioned.

"You know angry frustrated glum," Harry replied

"Oh, I don't know, It's a skill I guess," Luna shrugged.

"Are you making fun of me?" Harry asked.

"Maybe," Luna said and began to walk away.

"Why would you do such a mean thing?" Harry asked.

"Because you won't read your piece of paper like a man," Luna joked.

"Fine," Harry said and grabbed the paper and read it –

I Mr. Sirius Black,

Leave Mr. H. Potter everything that I have to my name except… my books (besides the Defense against the Dark arts books) to Miss H. Granger, my chess sets and sweets (if he can find them) to Mr. R. Weasley, All the pranks to Messer's F. and G. Weasley, while Buckbeak goes to Mr. R. Lupin and the House goes to the order until the war is over then it goes to Mr. H. Potter.

Sincerely,

Sirius Black

"So how do you feel?" Luna asked when Harry looked up from the letter.

"Stupid," Harry answered.

"Why?" Luna asked

"Because, I got worked up over that," Harry smiled and walked over to Luna.

"Well happens to the best of us," Luna smiled.

"Your right," Harry said and pulled Luna into a hug.

"Alright now do go all girly on me," Luna joked when Harry let go.

"That will haunt me now thanks," Harry replied.

"Your welcome, now come on before dad gets worried," Luna said and pulled Harry out of the forest.

The next Day Harry walked down the stairs with his trunk and to the entrance way.

"Sorry I have to leave early," Harry apologized.

"Oh it's okay Harry, Dumbledore thinks its best that you spend some time with your family before you go back to school," Mr. Lovegood replied.

"I bet your glad to get rid of me," Harry replied.

"Nonsense, you were our best guest," Mr. Lovegood said and patted Harry on the back.

"Woops, Better get lunch ready, Luna say your goodbye," Mr. Lovegood said and ran into the kitchen.

"I swear, he has to be the one to make sandwiches," Luna laughed.

"Well, sorry I have to leave right when I was getting better," Harry responed.

"Don't worry we will see each other when term starts again, only 3 more days.

"Yes, and I will make sure to give you something when we get back," Harry responded mischieviously.

"What are you going to give me?" Luna asked.

"Well, your just going to have to wait.

"Oh come on, please give it to me now," Luna pleaded.

"But that would ruin it for later," Harry responded.

"So, how about I get a peak at it then act all surprised when you give it to me," Luna thought.

"Well, I don't know," Harry said.

"Please," Luna pleaded again.

"Well I want you to guess first," Harry said his smile getting bigger by the moment.

"Um, is it a quill?"

"No," Harry answered.

"A book?"

"No,"

"I don't know, just tell me," Luna replied.

"Little excited are we?" Harry asked

"Yes, just please can I see it?" Luna asked.

Harry smiled and nodded and Luna held her hands out. Harry grabbed her hands and pulled her into him putting his lips to hers and putting his arms around her to put his hands somewhere. Luna was taken by surprise but liked her present anyway.

"Ahem," Mr. Lovegood coughed breaking Luna and Harry apart.

"Well I was going to give you a goodbye sandwich but I think what she had in mind was better," Mr. Lovegood smirked and Harry blushed along with Luna.

"well you see.." Harry stuttered.

"It was the mistletoe," Luna said and pointed up and sure enough there was mistletoe above them.

And then there was the knock that saved Harry and Luna. Luna answered it and it was Lupin and Mad eye for Harry.

"Mr. Lovegood talked to the men in the entrance for a moment while Luna took Harry upstairs quckly.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Where's the present?" Luna asked.

"That was it," Harry said,

"What was it?" Luna asked bewildered.

"The kiss," Harry said

"No mistletoe your supposed to kiss, so come on where is it?" Luna asked and held her hands out again.

"Fine," Harry said and grabbed them pulling her into his embrace as her lips touched his.

"So I will write you tomorrow," Luna said as they pulled apart.

"I'll wait for the letter," Harry answered.

"Harry!" Harry heard Lupin call his name.

"Until tomorrow," Luna said and kissed his cheek.

"Until tomorrow," Harry replied with a sigh.

"Well actually until term starts but whatever," Luna shrugged and Harry chuckled.

"Harry, come on!" Mad eye growled and Harry heard 3 people come up the stairs.

"Whats the hold up?" Lupin asked.

"Just saying goodbye," Harry said and looked at Luna who smiled.

"Well you'll see her soon, come on," Lupin said and the three men walked down the stairs Harry following behind, Luna staying at the top.

"Well see you soon Harry I'm sure," Mr. Lovegood said and shook Harry's hand.

"Definitely," Harry said, looked at Luna who smiled and waved and followed Lupin out the door and into the cold but for some reason he wasn't cold.

"Harry do you have lipstick on?" Mad eye asked.

"No why?" Harry asked.

"Because your mouth has a hint of green to them," Mad Eye replied.

"Oh," Harry shrugged and continued to walk as the men wondered what happened up on those stairs.

"Aren't you guys here to protect me?" Harry asked turning around looking at the 2 men who had stopped to think then walked quickly to catch up with Harry.

"Good boys," Harry joked and was pushed down into the snow.

"Oh so that's how it's going ot be?" Harry asked standing up.

"Well either that or we could ask about the relationship you have with Miss Lovegood," Lupin replied.

"by all means push me again," Harry said and fell into the snow.

Harry laughed and smiled to himself wishing the three days would be gone and he could be at Hogwarts lying in the snow with Luna.
