Chapter Twelve:

Shane's Secret

Harry headed upstairs only to be stopped by Neville.

"Harry I know you're busy but when are we having a D.A. meetings again." He said.

"Oh um I forgot about that, soon…how about tomorrow night?" Harry said.

"We meet where we always do" Harry said. "Who ever cared enough to keep their fake Galleon will hopefully show up, see you there then." Harry said going upstairs.

The next morning Harry told the others about his plan at breakfast.

"You sure about this?" Hermione said.

"Why not?" Harry asked.

"Well it's dangerous" Hermione said.

"So is the whole world since Voldemort came back." Harry said.

Ron flinched and Airean spoke up. "We'll be there right Shane?" She said looking at him.

"Yeah sure" Shane said.

"Great it's settled then we are reopening the D.A.!" Harry said happily.

Harry felt like this day was taking forever to end. 'I can't wait to go to the D.A. meeting' Harry thought. Harry sat through all his classes barely there thinking about the D.A.

"Harry are you ok?" Airean said looking worried at lunch.

"Huh? What no I'm not that hungry today sweetheart." Harry said not paying her any mind.

"Now I know something is up you never call my pet names. What's going on?" Airean asked frowning.

"I'm just thinking about the D.A. I'm really glad it's reopening I love being there. I missed it all summer." Harry said.

"Oh Harry that's so sweet!" Airean said kissing him on the check.

Harry blushed and smiled at her. After what seemed like forever to Harry nighttime came and they all went off for the D.A. meeting. Lots of new kids where there and Hermione gave them all fake Galleons.

"Everyone hear?" Harry asked.

"I think so" Hermione said.

"First off I think we should get to know everyone before we start our training so everyone grab a pillow and sit." Harry said as he sat down on his own pillow.

After everyone had a pillow and had sat down Harry asked the boy at to other side of the circle to start be giving his name and his year.

"Jared and I'm a third year." He said. After everyone was done telling the others who they were Harry told them all about how the fake Galleons worked and when they'd be having meetings too. By the time he was done it was time to pack up and leave.

"See you all next week" Harry said as everyone field out of the room.

"Wow Harry your really good at teaching you might want to rethink your job." Airean said smiling at him.

"Thanks I guess" Harry said.

"We should go too" Hermione said.

"Yeah I got lots of homework" Ron said.

They made it all the way back to the common room before anyone noticed that Shane was missing.

"Hey where is Shane?" Airean ask as they entered the common room.

"Oh…I don't know" Harry said looking around.

"Don't worry I'm sure he is fine" Hermione said. They all went to bed after a while none of them knowing were Shane had gone.

Flashback

Shane sat on one of the pillows and watched everyone tell who they were. No one really caught Shane eye till he looked over and saw a very out of place girl. She had dirty blond hair, very pale eyebrows, and protuberant eyes that gave her a permanently surprised look. She somehow was very beautiful though. Shane didn't realize he was starring at her till she started starring back and smiling at him. Shane turned away he didn't want to look anymore. He felt wired when she looked at him, like she was looking right inside him. Shane wasn't the kind of person to let anyone do that. As Harry went on to tell them about other things. Shane's mind drifted back to the girl, he knew her name now since she said it. She was Luna Lovegood, Shane liked that name he like the way it rolled off her tongue when she said it. As everyone left Shane got up and followed Luna out. He followed her for a while before anything happened….

Luna turned and looked at him "Shane what do you want" She said looking right through him again. Shane flinched, how had she known he was there? He had not made a sound the whole time. "I…nothing ok" Shane said not really sure what he wanted from this girl.

"Then why are you following me" Luna asked.

"I'm not I'm just going the same way" Shane lied.

"Oh sure" Luna said unconvinced. "Shane?" she said.

"Huh?" Shane said.

"Why are you here?" Luna said.

"Let me think…I go to school here." Shane said.

"That's not what I meant." Luna said turning and walking away.

Shane stood there for a while not moving. 'She's different then anyone I've ever met' Shane thought. Shane made his way back to the common room no one was there anymore so he headed up to bed. Shane lied in bed for a while thinking about Luna before he fell asleep. 'Tomorrow I am going to find what it is that makes her different then everyone else.'

Shane sat at breakfast not paying any attention to anyone around him thinking about last night.

"Shane, Shane, SHANE!" Airean yelled.

"Huh what?" Shane said looking up.

"Were did everyone go?" Shane said looking around no one was in the Great Hall anymore.

"They left, breakfast is over, what's wrong?" Airean said sitting down.

"I…do you know Luna Lovegood?" Shane asked.

"Well I know she the DAD teacher's daughter. That's about it though why?"

"No reason" Shane said getting up and leaving.

"Sorry I'm late for class professor Snape" Airean said running into the class.

"I understand" Snape said as she sat down. Everyone around the room stared at Airean. Had Snape just let a Gryffindor go with out getting in trouble for being late?

"Were where you?" Harry asked.

"Talking to Shane, something's up with him." Airean said.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Not sure" Airean said.

Shane sat in class looking around, he usually paid close attention in class he didn't like feeling stupid. He couldn't keep his mind in class though, it kept flouting back to Luna. Shane's class was very small because not many people became wand makers. They even had some other years in their class because there was no point in having a bunch of little classes. Shane didn't really spend much time looking at the people in his classes but since his mind was wondering he started to look around the room and what he say almost made him fall out of his seat.

Luna was in his class! Shane just sat there staring at her like an idiot till she saw him starring and started doing it back. Shane got that wired feeling she was looking right inside him again and turned away.

"Hey Shane wait up!" Harry yelled chasing after him in the hall.

"What?" Shane said not really wanting to talk.

"Where where you last night?" Harry asked.

"No where" Shane said.

"But…listen I'm not trying to be nosey again but Airean's worried about you and I figured it had to do with what you did last night." Harry said.

"Well tell her to mind her own business." Shane said walking away from Harry and into his next class.
