Hey Guys n Dolls!

Glad you liked the last chapter! And thanks to my reviewers!

Hailey Yes, Cho is very evil! I just wish Jo did something about it!

Thekecmaster Why thank you! Yes it was Lupin, Luna or Harry to beat him up and I'm very sorry to say that Harry won't be beating him up in this fic but I can't say the same for a certain Ravenclaw:wink:wink:

Zentech12 Yes, well it really depended on how many reviews I got! You naughty boys and girls that read the story and didn't review, I'll get Dobby after you!

If you would not like an insane house elf to annoy you for the rest of your life REVIEW!


Chapter 15

Harry ripped the paper into halves, quarters, eights and sixteenths before throwing it into the fire, where it belonged. Turning around he noticed Luna was hugging her knees and saying something. As he moved closer he heard what she was saying.

'Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in silver feathered sleep
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And move less fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.'

Harry recognised the poem from somewhere but he could not remember. Luna looked up at Harry, he half expected for her to be crying but she had the dreamy look on her face that she was known for. Harry sat down and wrapped her in a hug. 'Luna, where did you hear that poem?' he asked.

'My mum taught it to me when I was very young, she said it was the reason that she picked my name.' She snuggled closer to Harry.

'And what do you think it means?' he said.

'That the moon sees the world the way she wants and doesn't take any notice of anyone else; it's like a guideline for me.' 'Oh.'

He hugged her for a little while more and then spoke again, 'Who do you think it was? The person they got the tip off from.'

'Oh, well I have an inkling that it wa-' she was cut off, not by Harry, but by someone else.

'Luna,' began Snape. 'Can I have a word please?'

'No you may not,' she replied coolly. 'You can't attack my boyfriend and actually expect me to follow your orders.' Snape was now very angry.

'Listen you ungrateful little cretin,' he said, menacingly. 'You had better follow my orders.'

'And what if she doesn't?' asked Harry.

'Then she will suffer the consequences!' replied Snape. 'Luna I forbid you to go out with, him!'

'Just because he's a Potter?' Luna Lovegood was not going down without a fight.

'No, actually, it's more to the fact that he's an offspring of a, Marauder,' he said that last word with disgust. 'Luna, I cannot stand for you to run off with one of them like your mother.'

'And what if I want to run off with one?'

'I will not stand and watch you get your heart broken! He's bound to end up dead or worse! Just like Black, Luna. Think about this,' he urged.

'I have thought about it,' after she said that she turned to Harry and dragged him upstairs.

Seconds later they were in Harry's room, Harry sitting on the bed and Luna searching for their brooms. After a few moments she had triumphantly found them and threw Harry his. Opening the window she told him to mount it and shortly after she was on hers.

Harry followed her lead, out of the window into the night's sky, leaving all their troubles behind.


The poem that Luna read was by Walter de la Mare, who is one of my favourite poets and it was called Silver!

Okay,

Now that that's over!

Please review!

You can tell me where you think they'll go and what they'll do!

I'm not sure what you thought they were going to do in the bedroom after running off on Snape, but you can include that in the review as well!
