Harry slowly opened his eyes and saw Luna's angelic face while she was laying next to him. Harry saw a smile even though she was still perfectly asleep. He started to wonder do people normally smile while they sleep? He felt her warmth and felt an incredible feeling of happiness. Luna was the girl that cared about him because he was Harry and not the-boy-that-lived. Harry moved slightly in n attempt to get up without waking the sleeping woman. Luna's eyes flicked open and her silver eyes caught Harry's emerald green eyes.
"Good morning…" the young Ravenclaw sat up and smiled dreamily at him. Harry's heart skipped a beat when he saw her flash that smile that could melt almost any mans heart. Harry rubbed his hand through his hair in a feeble attempt to tame it. Luna chuckled in a sweet way that made Harry weak in his knees. "Good morning to you too." Luna pulled her knees to her chest and stated "That was the best sleep I have gotten since my mother passed through the veil…" Harry looked at her sympathetically and she smiled slightly different than before but Harry saw the pain in her expression.
Harry stood up and walked to the window where he stared outside with a saddened expression. Luna saw the Pain in the young man and calmly stated "Harry, I'm sorry that you lost your family…You don't deserve to be targeted for that kind of pain." Luna paused for a second and saw Harry lower his head and then continued with more confidence, "you are stronger than you think, to lose what you have and still want to stand and fight." Harry turned to her with a tear rolling down his cheek. Luna let her legs fall to the floor and began swinging them over the edge of the bed. She glanced over towards Harry and smiled crestfallen, "I will stand by you and fight this battle by your side…no matter what happens."
Harry nodded and wiped the tear way before he glanced outside quickly turning back to Luna "Its still early, I was going to go for jog, so I can clear my mind with a little fresh air." Luna stood up and stretched her arms above her head. Her shirt raised slightly and Harry couldn't help but notice the well toned stomach and luscious body that her Hogwarts robes hid away. Harry blushed slightly and turned back to the window until Luna came and stood beside him. She looked up at him and smiled and nodded. "lets go…"
Harry smiled and for no reason at all her grabbed the young woman by her waist and carried her to the floor . Luna's eyes went wide when Harry was on top of her and began to tickle her sides mercilessly. Her mirthful laughter and shrieks of delight roused several people who rushed in to see Harry on top of the Blond haired woman. Luna squirmed and managed to gain the upper hand and pushed Harry back . She tackled him to the floor and startled his waist where she began to extract revenge on him for the 'attack'. Harry attempted to roll out from under her grasp but just opened up new spots for the tickling duel. A small crowd soon gathered in the room, some more amused than others but all seemed to watch the event happening with a sense of humor.
In a few short minutes Harry yelped "I Give!" Luna triumphantly leaned down and looked deep into his eyes and smiled. Harry felt her warmth of her breath and smelled the Lilac scent of her hair. Their two faces came closer and their lips touched lightly. Jolts of a feeling Harry couldn't place, surged through him as she pressed her lips on his harder. Harry felt her tongue sneak out of her mouth in search of his. Harry responded with his tongue on hers and their worlds blurred from the real one. Harry wrapped his arms around her back and Luna slid her hands into Harry's hair. When the kiss was broken their breath was coming in short rasps. Luna sighed contented, "You know, you were the first person I ever kissed." Harry smiled and hugged her tightly to himself.
Their was a burst of cheers and applause coming from near the door way. Harry blushed since he was on his back with Luna straddling his waist when he saw the small audience. Neville was handing Ron a small stack of sickles and heard Neville say under his breath, "Lucky guess…" Hermione was leaning next to Ginny and Fleur who were whispering amongst themselves while throwing glances at Luna and himself. Bill was smiling broadly at Harry while Charlie was still rubbing his eyes sleepily. Luna saw them and smiled. When she stood up she pulled her hair behind her ear and straightened her clothes without a single sign of being embarrassed.
Harry scrambled to his feet and sheepishly kicked his feet at the floor. Looking up he then saw Arthur Weasley smiling at him and Harry turned a few shades redder than Ron's hair. Luna seemed to sense his embarrassment and chimed in happily "Harry and I are going to go for a jog. If you want you can come with." Most of the crowd instantly decided to head back to their rooms and get a few more hours of sleep. Hermione and Neville stayed and they both agreed that they would enjoy going for a jog. When The four young wizards were ready to leave they all placed their wands in special holsters on their wrists that Mad-eye Moody gave them.
They all started to jog along a path that would lead them down a area that is exclusive to wizarding families. Harry was practicing his Occlumency and was now able to produce some powerful mental barriers and shields. Luna tapped Harry's shoulder when she pointed to a home with a dark mark hovering menacingly above it. Harry stopped dead in his tracks and turned to his friends. Harry looked back at the house "Hermione please apparate to the burrow and get some help?" when he turned back he saw Neville with his wand out and ready with a fire in his eyes. Luna lost her dreamy look and was now replaced with a serious one. She also had her wand out and stood next to him, Hermione disappeared with a pop.
Harry approached the house and saw the door was blown off of his hinges and the entire downstairs was a complete wreck. Harry turned to his friends and said "Neville search this level, if you find any trouble get out." when he looked at Luna she stepped forward next to Harry and said "I'm going with you." Neville walked into the other rooms while Harry and Luna walked up the stairs. Harry stepped on a stair that creaked loudly and stopped.
The sound of a baby pierced his ears and Harry slowly kept moving in the direction of the sound. Harry opened the door and saw that this room was a nursery. Laying on the floor and propped against the wall was a younger woman. Her white dress was stained red with her blood from a massive gash from her collar bone to her waist on the opposite side. She raised her head and her wand weakly as if she was going to defender her child. She lowered her wand when she saw they were not death eaters. Harry crossed the room and saw she was holding a baby in a blood stained blanket.
The woman glanced between the two and saw the scar on Harry's forehead. "Only Dumbledore, His allies and You are the only people we can count on to save the wizarding world from that monster." Harry knelt down next to her and started to try to perform a healing spell on the badly injured woman. The spell had no effect on her and she smiled slightly but winced in pain. "Please, I'm sorry but please can you do something for me?" Harry nodded as well as did Luna. Harry looked at her sympathetically and asked "what do you want us to do?" The woman coughed up a large amount of blood and rasped, "take an unbreakable wizards oath to take care of her…" Harry blinked for second in shock and said "I'm not old enough to adopt her and I don't know anything about babies…" The woman rasped with less breath than before "Please, she has no living relatives and she needs someone…Please…" Harry nodded and took the infant from her and the woman looked at Luna and whispered "Please help him raise my little Sarriaha…" Luna nodded grimly and stated "Harry and I will take care of Sarriaha for you we promise" the woman pointed over towards the bag over in the corner and coughed, "Everything she will need is in there…" She turned to the baby girls and kissed her forehead "I love you Sweetheart…" the woman's hand fell to the floor and her chest stopped moving in her labored breaths.
Luna glanced at Harry who had a tears in his eyes. He turned towards the bag and summoned it to himself. Luna studied his actions and stood in front of him as he levitated a white sheet form the crib over the fallen mothers body. He turned his attention to the young child and tears flowed down his face. Harry whispered "Just like me…" and Luna understood why this is so hard for him. She stood next to him and placed her hand on his back in a comforting fashion. Neville entered the room and saw Harry holding a child and Luna consoling Harry. He stood next to Harry and spat angrily "there are three…casualties…downstairs, two of them are children!" Neville said the last word with so much venom that Harry turned to face him.
Harry was about to leave when Tonks walked into the room followed by Kingsley. "Wotcher, Harry!" Her hair was bubblegum pink and she saw him holding the child and her normal cheerful expression turned to a unreadable one. She strode forward while Kingsley went downstairs to deal with the other unfortunate people effected in this attack. Tonks was reaching for the child when Harry turned slightly to prevent her from taking her. Tonks became agitated after several more attempts to take the child each time Harry was able to avoid her. Finally Tonks asked "Why wont you let me take her to the ministry so we can find her family." Harry stated coldly "You will not take Sarriaha…" Tonks shook her head and opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Luna. Luna serenely said "Harry and I took an Unbreakable Wizard oath to raise her…Besides the mother told us she had no more family left." Tonks went pale and shouted "You did what!"
When Tonks shouted, Sarriaha began to cry and Harry started to pacify the infant which took a few minutes in which Tonks was completely silent. Moody stepped into the room and smiled at Harry which made his face seem more disfigured than ever. Moody gruffly commented "Well Potter, You always would do whatever you wanted…No one could tell you to do anything." Harry smiled after he realized Moody just gave him a compliment. Tonks was still staring at Harry and Luna in disbelief. Kingsley appeared behind moody and Said "Harry, I think you and your friends should take little miss potter to the burrow." Harry nodded and moody held out an old bandana and told them to say Moody's Motto. When everyone was holding on Harry spoke clearly "Constant Vigilance!"
The older wizards felt the familiar tug behind their navels and arrived in the Weasleys living room where half of the order of the phoenix was waiting for their return. When they arrived Sarriaha began to cry because of the strange form of travel. Hermione, Ginny, and Fleur all crowded Harry when they heard the baby crying in his arms. The room broke out in different conversations and Hermione took the child from Harry's arms who seemed little apprehensive about anyone holding her. Harry sat on the couch and Luna sat next to him. Remus knelt in front of Harry and Arthur stood next to Harry looking down at him. Lupin Looked Harry in the eyes and asked "Where did the little girl come from?" Harry replied simply "From the house that Neville Luna and I entered looking for survivors. Arthur smiled "Well you seem to have found one, but don't you think you should have let the Aurors take her to the ministry so they can locate her remaining family?"
Harry stood up his temper rising and said savagely "I took an oath to raise her and that's what I will do…" Harry walked over to where the Infant was and took her into his arms and his anger drained from him almost instantly. When he turned to the surprised group of people he seemed be smiling and talking to the infant happily. Sarriaha had been crying since she arrived and when Harry picked her up from Hermione's arms she stopped and began to giggle when Harry allowed her grab his finger and play with it. The room was silent as Harry summoned the bottle from the baby bag and tapped it with his wand to fill it with milk and began to feed the young child. He sat next to Luna who watch Harry Happily with her trademark Luna expression. Lupin looked at his watch and noticed it was almost nine in the morning he told everyone to gather their belongings and go to Headquarters.
Soon most of the people present had already left to go to Headquarters or to their personal engagements. Harry looked over at Luna and smiled "You can go pack…I've got her under control." Luna smiled back at him and stated dreamily "I've already packed…" Harry nodded and rested the young girl on his shoulder and began to burp her. She spit up a little on Harry's shoulder and fell a sleep quickly in his arms. Luna pulled her wand and cleaned up Harry's shirt and the baby blanket.
When everyone was packed and ready to go they all brought their trunks down. The order transported their trunks and Harry Apparated to headquarters with Sarriaha and Luna. When everyone arrived, Molly Weasley, Ginny, Hermione, Fleur, Tonks headed upstairs. Luna took Sarriaha from Harrys arms and he was about to state his obvious apprehension about her leaving his sight. Luna Smiled and kissed him gently on the lips and said "We are taking her upstairs and are going to turning one of the rooms into a Nursery." Harry glanced at his watch and realized it was 11:45 Harry felt his stomach tell him he was hungry. He was walking towards the kitchen until Bill and Charlie called him over to them and into the study.
Bill looked at Harry and asked "Harry do you know what the Black Shield Legion is? Harry shook his head "No, Who are they?" Bill nodded and continued "The Black Shield Legion is a very powerful Anti-Dark wizard organization. They have been initiated into the Order Of The Phoenix and have a desire to train you and your friends for the final battle." Harry was speechless until Charlie added "The Legion is VERY powerful and you will be meeting with the leader in the kitchen at noon so we just wanted to let you know about your meeting." Both of the Weasley boys walked out of the room but bill stopped and turned to look at Harry. "One more thing, the leader is someone I knew when I was in Hogwarts…His name is Tristan Lovegood…He's Luna's brother." Bill walked out and left Harry with his mind reeling.
Harry walked out of the study and into the living room and saw Lupin call him into the kitchen. Harry walked to Lupin who was obviously distressed and led him into the kitchen. When Harry entered the kitchen he saw an intimidating man dressed in black his long hair was tied back in a pony tail reaching ha waist and it was pure white. His eyes were a dull silver gray eyes that matched Luna's perfectly. When Harry sat down he was Smiling at him. The man's voice was gentle but strangely savage. "Greetings, Mr. Potter I am Tristan Lovegood, and as you already know I am Luna's brother. Bill Weasley probably told you that already though didn't he? Anyways, I have to ask you if you are interested in being trained by the Black Shield Legion?
Harry thought for a second and asked "What do you want to teach us?" Tristan smiled broadly and said "We will teach you wandless magic, powerful offensive and defensive magic and Various other training courses." Harry nodded knowing full well that they could teach them valuable magic skills. Harry kept his voice steady and asked "How long will this training take?" Tristan fiddled with his sleeve cuffs and calmly stated "For the complete effectiveness of our training it will take around four months." Harry was a little concerned about the amount of time he will be unable to search for the remaining horcruxes. Harry nodded again and smiled "Who do you want to train?" Tristan smile faded slightly but answered "We want to train you, and my sister the most you two show the most promise but we want to train Ronald Weasley and his sister Ginny Weasley, Miss Hermione Granger, and a Mister Neville Longbottom." Harry replied immediately "I cannot answer for anyone except myself but I am sure that they will want too…" Tristan grinned shyly "I was wondering if I could talk to my sister?" Harry felt Lupin place his hand on his shoulder and said "Why don't you go get her."
