Chapter 1
Luna brushed back the strand of hair that lay in front of her face. She placed her face against the cold glass of the window. The train began to start. She was safe. No more nights looking behind her and no more nights sleeping it rough. She was off to Hogwarts. But Hogwarts wasn't all fun and games she had to act everyday. She had to act a character that was quite mad. She better start then. She sighed and out of her bag she brought a copy of 'The Quibbler'. Nothing in 'The Quibbler" was ever true but she had to pretend to believe it seeing as she pretended her dad was the editor. The editor wasn't her dad he just had the same surname as her. She had planned this too so no one would expect . . . no one would expect. She shook her head.
'I am not going to be myself remember! I am Luna Lovegood!'
She turned 'The Quibbler' upside down and hid behind it. A few minute later she heard the compartment door slide open and the sound of three people come in. Curious she looked up and a unpleasant sight met her eyes. Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle stood in the doorway.
"You weren't supposed to leave!" hissed Malfoy.
"Leave where?" Luna replied, pretending to read 'The Quibbler'.
"You know where!" Malfoy said dangerously. He was talking so no one would overhear them.
"No Malfoy, I don't so when you come up with the right vocabulary to tell me what you're on about but in the mean time would you kindly leave"
She didn't have to act with Malfoy. She didn't have to act all day dreamy and stupid. Malfoy knew that she wasn't Luna Lovegood but he didn't know who she actually was. This was a good point seeing as if he did . . . well lets just say if he did she would probably be dead by now.
"Go back or I'll, I'll . . . " He tried to find a something horrid he could say.
"You'll what? Run to Daddy? Whoops my mistake you're Daddy is in prison isn't he?" Luna said in a mock baby face.
"You've got a nerve!" Malfoy yelled, his voice no longer quiet. He grabbed for his wand and yelled.
"REDUCTO!"
Luna was too slow. She was slammed against the glass making it crack slightly. Stars obscured her vision but she wasn't going to let Malfoy win. She jumped up and pointed her wand at him and yelled.
"STUPIFY!"
Crabbe and Goyle yelled as Malfoy fell to the ground. They grabbed for their own wands but Luna put her wand on them.
"Take Malfoy and get out my train compartment," She said.
They did as they were told. When they had gone Luna slumped down onto a seat. She smiled slightly. Two – nil to her. First she had escaped and now she had a won a duel. She heard the compartment door slide open again. Not them again! She looked up and saw Ginny and Neville sideling in.
"You don't mind do you Luna? It just everywhere else is full," Ginny, asked
Luna smiled, making her eyes big and round, and then dived back under 'The Quibbler'. An unpleasant silence filled the cabin until Ginny said,
"Have you seen how many books we had to get?"
Happy for an excuse to talk Luna put down 'The Quibbler' and said
"I know, do you have any idea why we need them?" She said in the same mysterious voice.
"Not a clue," Ginny said and then she said in a low voice " A started reading one book called 'Facts and Rumours' and in the Rumours section it said Harry may have a sibling!"
Luna sat up straight.
"Really?" Luna said in the same mysterious voice. This was interesting.
"Yeah, I only read a bit of it because it said it was a rumour and I kind of felt weird about reading a school book before we got to school"
Luna nodded. Neville spoke suddenly.
"What if it's not a rumour?"
"Of course it's a rumour wouldn't Dumbledore have told Harry that he had a sibling?" Ginny said.
Luna listened to the conversation.
"Maybe he didn't for Harry's own good," Neville answered.
"Good point" Luna said.
Neville smiled as if it was the first time anyone had said that too him.
"Anyway . . . Luna why was Malfoy dragged out of here unconscious?" Ginny asked.
"Oh that . . . he was being a right cow so I just used some DA tactics" She smiled. Ginny nodded.
"Is the DA going to continue this year?" Neville asked.
"Well if we have a proper teacher maybe not" Ginny replied.
"It would be cool if it could continue" Luna said in her normal boring voice.
The others nodded. After a few minutes Neville and Ginny started talking about the holidays so Luna picked up 'The Quibbler'. She didn't read it though. She pretended to get a microscope out of her bag but actually slipped 'Facts and Rumours' behind her magazine. Just as she began to read the train shuddered to a halt and started jerking. The lights went out and Luna shoved everything she had into her bag.
"What's happening?" said a voice. It was Neville's.
"I don't know" said Ginny.
"Maybe Dementors again?" Luna suggested.
Ginny and Neville but shivered. Luna was closest to the door and she heard it slide open.
"Who is it?" Ginny asked.
Luna looked up. A hand clamped over her mouth and dragged her out of the compartment. She tried to scream. She kicked about but her feet didn't come in contact with anything. Something hard hit her head and all went black.
