Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Chapter 5

Harry Potter sat on the stairs thinking of the many lives he had ruined. He had ruined his parents by being born, the Weasley's by making friends with their son, Hermione's by making friends with her and on top of all the lives he ruined, he had ruined Luna's.

She could have had a mother and a father, but Harry went and got her Sirius killed. He couldn't help but blame himself and he hadn't dared to look at her, as he couldn't bear to see the hatred in her eyes, even though unnoticed to him there was none. He walked into Ron's room and sat on the bed.

Shortly after, there was a small knock at the door and he and Hermione entered. Both looked very tired and Hermione looked as though she had been told that books never existed.

'Hi, Harry,' offered Ron. 'You okay?' He gave a sad smile and looked at his feet. He had grown, not much but he was still a head over Harry. His Weasley trademark hair had grown over his ears and he had gotten a tan across his face.

To his right Hermione stood looking intently at Harry waiting for him to say something. She had grown too but she still only barely reached Ron's shoulder, her hair was straightened and was now shoulder length.

'Oh, hi guys,' he said. 'How's your summer been?' He knew what was coming.

'Harry, we've just been in with Luna, she's very upset,' said Hermione. 'Did you two fight?'

'Yeah, did she start blubbering like Cho?' asked Ron.

'No, well not until she was finished talking. Guys, she told me that her mum and Sirius were, well, together'

'And?' pressed Hermione. When she received no answer she continued, 'That's it? You freaked out over her mum and Sirius going out? Harry, I've said it once and I'll say it again, you're so tactless. Harry did you even stop to consider what was going through her head-'

'Going through her head?' Ron cut her off. 'This is Loony Lovegood, there's nothing going on in her head! Can you believe it Harry? Ginny and this one were convinced that you like Lovegood.' He laughed at his own joke, but stopped when he saw the look on Harry's face.

'What's so funny Ron? So what if I like Luna, she's smart, funny, kind, thoughtful and optimistic and we have many similar interests. So what if I like her? At least I'm not afraid to admit who I like,' Harry answered.

Ron's cheeks went the same colour as his hair and Hermione was looking from one to another in hope of some explanation. Harry was grinning from ear to ear and soon enough Hermione had caught on and turned a similar shade to Ron.

'I think I'll leave you two alone,' whispered Harry and on his way out he grabbed the key.

Once out of the room Harry turned around and locked the door. When he turned around he heard a gasp and saw strands of golden hair recoil to his room and the door close behind. He took a deep breath and walked toward the door, lifting his shaking hand he reached out for the knob and turned it until it clicked.

Gently he pushed open the door to see Luna sitting on the edge of the bed looking at Harry's picture album. Harry walked up behind her and slid his arms around her waist and lightly kissed her cheek and rested his chin on her shoulder. She looked up at him and a confused looked came into her sapphire eyes.

'I thought you were mad at me,' she whispered. Harry looked at her in disbelief, that's what he had been thinking.

'How could I be mad at you? It's me you should be mad at, you've done nothing wrong' he answered.

'Harry, I should have told you the second I knew, I'm sorry' Luna said. Harry hushed her and sat her on the bed, taking her hand in his.

'Listen Luna, it's my fault, I shouldn't have reacted the way I did.'

Luna smiled and arose from the bed. Grasping Harry's hand tighter she dragged him out the door and down the stairs.

They entered the kitchen and were welcomed by Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley and Albus Dumbledore. All three elder order members smirked when they saw the two teens holding hands.

'Have fun Harry? I trust Miss Lovegood has told you about the prophecy?' Dumbledore had his half moon spectacles mid-way down his crooked nose. The twinkle in his eyes lit up his face and an all-knowing smile crept upon the aged wizard's expression, as both teens blushed.

'Did you happen to see Ron or Hermione, dears. Dinner is almost ready' asked Mrs. Weasley. It was Harry's turn to smirk.

'Yes, as a matter of fact I do recall them saying they were safe and sound in Ron's room. They might have gotten locked up or something. Luna and I will go check on them' and they left without another word.

When Harry and Luna were halfway up the stairs, Harry spun around, caught Luna off guard and placed a kiss on her lips. They broke apart when the twins started whistling behind them.

'Harry, what would they Daily Prophet say?' joked George.

'Yes, I can see it now; Harry Potter's Found Love at Last. All over Teen Witch Weekly'

'Not to mention, Witch Weekly'

'The Quibbler'

'Okay, guys I get it' he let go of Luna and made his way towards Ron's room.

'I wouldn't go in there if I was you Harry!' warned Fred.

'Yeah, there's been noises' coming from there' agreed George.

Harry unlocked the door to reveal Ron and Hermione kissing on Ron's bed. Both of them separated to see four people staring at them.

'Well it's about time!' said Luna.

Okay Chapter five done and dusted.
