Chapter : I think I'm in love with you, James Potter...

Luna looked up at the ceiling, lost in the obis of her thoughts. She put her hand over her heart and smiled, slightly. Thoughts of what had happened was circling her mind. Holding on to James' waist. The Thestrals. Yesterday was the best thing that had ever happened to her...

Hermione and Ginny came around the entrance way. They looked a little too happy and excited...

Hermione tapped Luna on the shoulder and brought her up from the bed.

" So," Hermione began " Where's the book?" she had a look of eagerness in her eyes. Luna looked at her quizzically, not sure what she was referring to.

" What-? Oh-" Luna then remember putting the book into James's bag, the book that would allow them to go back to the future. For a few moments, Luna hesitated on not telling her friends. She just wanted to stay with James in this time forever...

" I have to go-" Luna was out of the room before they could say no more.

Luna rushed through the school looking for the boy of whom had swept her away into her dreams. She smiled at the thought.

She looked everywhere, when she found an empty corridor, where she bumped right into James. Luna clumsily fell down to her feet.

James brought out his hand, lending it for her to get back up on her feet with it.

" Are you alright?" James asked her with a look of concern and regret on his face.

He lifted her up onto the ground and instead of letting go of her hand right away, he held onto it tightly for a few moments Luna felt a surge of warmth go through her as his warm hand touched hers. She didn't want this feeling to end, so she squeezed her hand tightly around his as well.

" I have a question that I need to ask you." Luna said getting back to herself.

" I do too." James replied with a bit of a laugh.

" You- you go first," They both said at the same time, which resulted for them to both blush and look down at their feet. James then gestured to Luna for her to ask her question first.

" I accidentally left my book in your bag yesterday, and I was just wondering if I could have it back?" Luna asked hopefully

" Oh... that" James looked down in disappointment " Me and my friends thought that the book was yours, Ginny's and Hermione's diary and we... we wanted to read it." James confessed as he looked down at his feet, blushing.

Luna gave a little chuckle to herself as James said this.

" You must think I'm a jerk, don't you?" James asked wearily questioning Luna.

Their eyes met for a few moments and Luna noticed his eyes. They were a dark deep chocolate brown. They looked soft and warm. Luna hadn't noticed his eyes before now, due to the fact that she had only seen him up close in darkness before.

" I don't think that at all." Luna said genuinely and truly " I just really need that book back, James." She looked at him with a gentle smile and a look of warmth in her face.

" Yeah, o' course, I mean I can just get Sirius, and get the book." James smiled at her and looked down at the ground, still embarrassed.

" What was the question you were going to ask me?" Luna asked curiously.

James came closer to Luna once she asked this. " I- I um, I was um... Iwasjustwonderingifyouwantedtogosomewherewithmeandsomeplaceatsomtime?" James looked hopefully at Luna, who had a look of confusion on her face.

" I mean," James tried, again, very nervously " Would you please go on a date with me sometime?" He asked slowly and hopefully.

Lana felt something go through her whole body. She didn't quiet know what it was, but all she knew was that it was magic. She smiled brightly and was about to answer James's question with a non-hesitant "yes", when she remembered something that Hermione had said. "You realize that we can't have any romantic type of relationship with any of these people, we could change history... or worse." Luna looked down at her feet. She knew that what Hermione had said was the truth.

" I really would love to, James.." she said wearily and as his name rolled of her tongue she felt that magic feeling again.

" Great! The how bout' at 6-" Luna cut James off from his excitement.

" James, I would give anything to, but I can't... I just can't..." James looked down at the floor wearily. " I wish that I could tell you but I just...can't..." tears were now streaming down her face. She didn't know why exactly, but they were.

James put his hand under Luna's face and supported her chin so she would look up at him. He wiped the tears off of Luna's face. " It's okay..." He whispered to her, still a little disappointed.

James put his arm around her. " Do you have potions now?" He asked her. Luna smiled, nodded and they set off for class.

Luna entered the dungeons with James walking alongside her. He told her jokes and made her tilt her head back with laughter. Luna felt same around him, like she could do anything...

As James went down the dungeon staircase, he jumped around certain parts of the stars which had been made into traps and managed to get down safely to the bottom. Luna however, didn't notice the tricks and she fell on the second trip mark. She tripped and fell right down into James's grasp. They were very close against one another. Luna was breathing heavily, though it wasn't fromm the flight of stairs, but from having a warm loving face almost nearly against hers.

" Are you alright?" James asked again, as he had earlier

She shut her eyes and blinked slwly, beating her eyelids dreamily. She smiled slighly and brought herself back to attention.

" I'm- I'm fine." she smiled weakly up at him but inside her, she knew she wasn't fine. She just wanted to be with him the rest of her life. She wanted to feel his touch against hers over and over again, yet she knew it was impossible. Her mind and heart were tangled up in emotions. She didn't know what to feel... all she knew was that what she felt for him, was stronged that she ever had for anyone.

" I'm really sorry..." James apologized.

" It's not as if it was your fault..." Luna protested.

" Actually it kinda is..." James began " You see, me and Sirius put up those traps so then Snivellus and the other Slytherins will trip on them..." James blushed and looked down at the floor.

" Snivellus?" Luna asked in curiosity.

" Oh, he's this guy in Slythirin, Severous Snape." Luna stopped in her tracks. So the boy with the long curtains of hair looking over at their table was Snape!

" Is something wrong?" James asked Luna.

" No... just my...I'm getting caught up in mt thought again...I suppose..." Luna looked dreamily at the steps. And as James kept on going, she brought out her wand, whispered a jinx and made the traps on the stairs disappear. She smiled to her self and made her way into the potions classroom.

Luna went to sit with her other friends, of whom Arrabella was there as well.

"Where's the book?" Hermione asked as soon as Luna sat down in her seat.

Before luna could say anything, Slughorn walked into the classroom.

Ginny pointed out their previous potion's master out to Hermione, who seemed fascinated.

" Hello, Hello class!" Slughorn said happily as he walked up to the front of the room.

" Today, we will be signing up your partners for this year," he began " It has been asked that this class is in a boy, girl pairing, so when I brew your name out of the cauldron you chose your partner." Slughorn smiled and went on.

Ginny had her eye directly on Sirius,( who also had his eye on her) with a smile sprawled across her face.

Hermione started grumbling to herself " What a silly rule... people should authority to pick who they WANT their partner to be... not by the gender..." Hermione huffed and kept on going. Luna kept quiet, recalling her previous morning.

" Hush...Hush..." Slughorn was now about to pick the first name out of the Cauldron.

He waved his wand over the potion and cast a spell. The liquid brought up a name.

" Ahh...Mr.Black..."

Sirius stood up. " I would like my partner to be Ginny Tesley, please." Ginny got up with a huge smile on her face and proceeded to meet up with Sirius. Arrabella's eyes followed the two. She scowled at Ginny as Sirius put his arm around her.

" Black?" Hermione whispered

" Sirius? Harry's godfather?" Luna finished. The two looked at each other and back at Ginny and Sirius, of whom seemed to be having to much of a good time...

" Carry on, Carry on, shall we?" Slughorn asked the class with some excitement in his voice. He then again waved his wand over the cauldron.

" Mr. Potter..." Slughorn then shot Lily a look, who rolled her eyes at the thought of being partners with Potter.

" I would like Luna Lovejoy to be my partner, Sir." Everyone in the room( except Luna Hermione and Ginny) broke out into gasps or questioning such as " What about Lily?"

James smiled brightly at Luna, who smiled straight back at him. Luna didn't understand it. Of all the girls in the world, he picked her. Not Lily. Her. Could it be that he liked her? Like really liked her? No. But why did he ask her to go on a date with him? Maybe he meant it as a friend... Luna didn't even want to consider thinking about these things, it would make her emotions and feelings even more tied up...

Slughorn had a very quizzical look on his face, but all the same he had a slight smile on his face. He looked over at Lily, who was thrilled that James didn't pick her.

" Everyone... quiet..." Slughorn hushed the noise. He then did the same routine with the potion.

" Lily..." He smiled warmly at his favourite classmate. Hermione saw that across the room in the corner there was a boy from Slytherin, who was gazing longingly at Lily.

" Remus... I'd like my partner to be Remus." She smiled at Remus. Remus stopped thinking almost as if his world stopped. Lily picked him? Well she did say all those this about him but still... He'd have to tell her. He didn't know how but he just had to tell her how he really felt about her...

Everyone got paired up with their partners, until there was finally four people remaining: Hermione, Arrabella, Peter and Snape.

" Ahh...so two pairs left?"Slughorn once again hovered his wand ove the potion and a name appeared in front of him.

" Miss Figg..."

" Peter please." Arrabella said, relieved that she wasn't paired up with Snape.

" Ans thus leaves you two." Slughorn motioned to Snape and Hermione. " Miss Granger, this is Severous Snape." Hermione's eyes widened the dark and cold techer, whom had one been her teacher was now facing her, a young meek and shy lanky teenager. The opposite of what he grew up to be.

" You can call me Hermione." Hermione held ou her hand for Snape to shake it.

He grudgingly took her hand and shook it " Severous." He whispered, hiding under the long black curtains of his hair. Hermione almost thought she saw the pale boy's cheeks turn slightly pink, and a small smile on his face.

Everyone talked with their new potions partners for a few mor moments, when class was dismissed.

" Hey, Prongs!" Sirius caught up with James " What was with that?" He asked, referring to James's partner choice. " You ruined the plan!"

James ignored Sirius's comments. " Can I have that book back?"

Sirius got the book out of the bag " It's NOT their diary... it's some book about a Time-turner...or something..."

James looked quizzically at the book. What's a time turner? He thought to himself. He shrugged to himself and kept on going.

James gave the book to Luna. James was a bout to walk away and go back to the dormitory.

" Wait! James!" Luna stopped him from leaving. " I never properly thanked you for what you did yesterday-"

" It was no problem." James smiled at Luna " besides, without you, we both would have been dead..." Luna looked at James one last time and waved a goodbye to him. As James walked out of the room Luna whispered something to her self " I think I'm in love with you, James Potter..." she turned around on the balls of her feet and headed to the library to find Ginny and Hermione.

Once she reached the library, Ginny and Hermione were waiting in the library for Luna to arrive. Luna set the book down and flipped to the page and began reading.

"In order to break the curse and go back in time, you must bring at least one person back from the future by their own will. Then you must brew a potion, the potion is called " curse of love" , you must take a sip from the potion, with you hands connected to the being from the future. The potion will take 8 months to brew. The potion will not work unless you do one thing. You must break a curse, that was still wished upon a person before you went back in time. The curse however, must be broken by true love."

The Girls looked at one another. What did this mean? Break a curse by true love? The three girls were stumped. Ginny and Hermione took their bags and walked out of the room, too stunned to say a single word. They went to the great hall for their final meal of the day. Luna, however stayed in the library, staring at the words inscribed in the thick paged book.

Luna took her bag, place her book inside it and walked out of the library. She walked down and through the school, reaching the entrance. She exited out of the school and walked to a lone area out side. Under a tree.

She took out her pencil and blank book. She had not done this in a long time. She thought of what he looked like and began spreading the lead over the sheet.

She was extra careful over his eyes, they were thin and dark, she replicated them onto the paper. She had never put her heart into her work before. Well she did one a little, when she drew Harry... but even though they looked the same, when Luna visualized James, she saw someone else, she saw him as his true self, not what he appeared to be. Luna's radish earrings were turning a different shade of colour and here beer bottle cap necklace was steamed up, because she was hot and sweating. She finally finished the drawing, which looked exactly like James, with his square jaw and his this lips and his thin rimmed round spectacles. Luna didn't know why but silent tears were slowly coming down her face, the wet substance landed onto the portrait, which made the picture bleed a bit.

She set the portrait on the ground, and she noticed an absolutely gorgeous stag walking towards her. She did not run away. She just waited for the creature to approach her. And as the Chocolate brown stag came up to her, and as she looked into it's eyes, she saw who's eyes they were. Or seemed to be. Thin dark chocolate brown eyes, James's eyes.

The stag sat beside Luna, who noticed the Portrait beside her. The stag looked almost perplexed. Luna thought this was strange, but she didn't care. She found the stag comforting.

" I'm Luna." she introduced herself to the animal. And she talked to it she told it everything, her feelings, except about James. Even if it was a stag. No one could know.

She told it about how she missed mum and dad. Luna was on her back in the grass. And It got darker and darker. She gazed up at the stars. And the more she looked at the arrays of sparkling lights, the more she got tired...

It was a very bright and early morning. The sun had been shining into Luna's eye's which only made her eyes hurt. She turned to her side to see the stag again, but she didn't see a stag. In it's place there was a young man. That young man was James Potter.

Luna covered her mouth with her hand in shock. What had happened? She took her hand off of her mouth. She looked James and the portrait, which seemed like a complete replica. These she had a small smile to herself. She put her hand through James's hair softly and thought of a brilliant idea that might help her friends and herself to go back to their own time. She smiled and ran off to tell Ginny and Hermione, inhaling the smell of James's hair on her fingertips.
