Chapter 2: Finding My Master

By Jamnaz79

Notice: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters in it. No muggles have been hurt in making this story but plenty were killed in this story.

She reached down and grabbed hold of her love shaking him. It was in her horror at that moment when she watched him start to crumble. The smile of her Dark Lord was present but the light in his emeralds was gone. She watched as he stated to turn before her eyes into dust. The ritual had a cost they knew this. But, this was not expected. She shrieked! She cried out! She burned with rage! Her heart trembled and her magic went insane! Luna Potter could do nothing to stop it. She could not stop her love disappearing before her eyes! All of their dreams, their hopes, their future and family gone in an instant!

This left the burning question. What will she do now?

~~~ DLA ~~~

It had been two hours since it happened. Two hours since her Lord and Master had disappeared from her claimed the powers of time. It wasn't fair. It wasn't right that she would lose him when they had worked so hard for this chance! They must succeed; they must change the future and make protect their ignorant people. Two hours and she had not moved an inch of her body.

Finally, a twitch came from her hand. A twitch that was followed her fingertips rising upwards to brush against her cheek feeling the smooth skin. A deep breath left her lips when she felt no scars along her cheek. Her body had been replenished; she had her youth as they had hoped. If she had her youth perhaps her master had returned to his body? This revelation startled her and gave her hope. She looked up and finally took in her surroundings.

Luna was in the home of her birth. It was the house her father and mother once lived before she lost her. The Rookery, a place filled such great strong happiness and light. Yet it held so many memories of loneliness and loss. She slowly stood on unsteady legs and walked over to a mirror in the side of the room. The image that stared back at her wasn't the grown woman feared the world over as the servant of the Lord and Master of Europe. It wasn't the woman scarred from her beauty by battles too numerous to count. It was the girl of fourteen that hadn't found a friend in the world. A girl that had hoped only to be accepted, something that only her master had finally given her with his faith in her. Only her eyes were different, instead of the cloudy gaze that looked around the world in a fog she saw true. She had seen the loss, destruction and death of the world and that left a mark. She was a woman that had felt the bitter taste of war and knew what might come next. Her eyes weren't the eyes of the young teen but the eyes of a war torn veteran who would do anything for her one true love.

Her mind quickly made up she skipped down the stars with a smile curving over her lips, "Daddy, I am going to ride the night bus to Surrey and kidnap Harry Potter. Don't wait up!"

The answer came from a distracted man that might be a little too used to her stories, "Ok Pumpkin. Just please no grandkids yet. Enjoy your kidnapping."

Now that she had permission she skipped off out of the house to summon the knight bus and see her master.

"Surrey, Privet Drive number six as requested. That will be one sickle Miss." Stan requested of the little girl. It was a strange place to ask to come but who was he to judge. She must be a muggleborn.

The girl fished into her pocket and pulled out a sickle to hand over with a bright smile. Then the young witch skipped out of the knight bus and started down the block. It was important to find her master today, if her memory was correct tomorrow he would have a run in with dementors. She didn't want to have him put up with those foul beasts. So onwards she walked towards Number 4 Privet Drive, a house hidden by wards from adults in the wizarding world. The night part about being legally considered to be underage though was the fact she could walk right through those wards. And Luna did just that as she walked right up to the door and rang the doorbell. She ignored the sound of snoring coming from the bushes, whomever the foolish drunk was he wasn't a very good guard, and waited for whoever lived there.

A rail thin woman who had the neck of an ostrich and face of a horse answered the door. Her eyes swept over the girl who wore a white summer dress, necklace of butterbeer corks and thigh high black boots. Before the woman could the silver grey eyed blonde spoke up, "Hello, I am here to see my Master!"

"What!?" The horse woman shrieked in surprise as her outrage was plain on her face as it started to turn red and purple at once!

Luna stared at her skin at first wondering if the woman perhaps had a little metamorphmagus in her blood. Then she remembered this was the woman who had tortured her Master when he was growing up. This was the woman that forced him to live in a Cupboard under the stairs for much of his life. She shook her head at the thought as a vicious smile spread over her lips, her kind eyes flickered becoming stormy depths of madness they met the dark eyes of the horse faced woman. A wandless legilimency probe slammed into the mind of the woman before Luna as the pert little blonde spoke pleasantly, "You will let me in, than you will crawl into the cupboard and close the door. You will not wish to come out ever again."

The woman reacted at once! She backed away from the little blonde and almost robotically turned and crawled into the cupboard. She was followed a moment later by a skipping blonde who quickly locked the door to the cupboard before looking around the place. It seemed her Master's cousin was out this day as was his Uncle. But, it would have to do for now. She could always come back and play again in the future after all.

The girl started to skip up the stairs taking them two at a time as her dress swished against her the pale skin of her thighs. She stopped at the obvious room of her master, considering it had half a dozen locks and a cat door at the bottom! She then knocked three times before opening the door and entering the room.

The room was dark, dreary and fitting for boy who had a summer of hell. He had after all witnessed the rise of a Dark Lord using his own blood! That is not to mention the brutal murder of a boy who was his friend right before his eyes. Harry Potter then was ignored by everyone and locked away in his room. Needless to say it was not a pleasant summer so far. Now the boy found the strangest thing ever.

A pretty blonde girl had just knocked on his door and stepped into the room. She scanned over the place before finding his eyes then dropped down into a kneeling position and bowing her head before him. Her face was visible as she smiled so brightly and excitedly for him, "My Master, I have found you! I have come to free you from the muggles and containment of the Order of the Friend Chicken."

To put it simple Harry was a bit weary of this. But he quickly examined the facts. There was a cute, most likely insane girl, in his room. Somehow this girl had gotten past his Aunt who he knew would never allow a magical of their own free will into the house if it could be helped. There was zero chance that someone that followed Voldemort would call him master. Finally, he was hungry and friend chicken sounded pretty good. So Harry did the only thing that made sense, "Who are you?"

"I am your sworn slave and future wife my Master." The girl answered as she looked up with such deep devotion staring into the eyes of the young man that it took his breath away.

"My wife?" Harry asked almost choking in surprise at the words. He didn't even touch on the fact that she called herself is slave.

"Yes Master, We get married in the future after you succeed in defeating the pretender Dark Lord and learn of the betrayals of the Order of the Friend Chicken." The girl smiled distantly seeming to stare in the distance for a moment then looked back to him, "That is five years in the future though."

"The future? You are from the future?" Harry blinked again not quite believing this possibly insane woman.

The blonde simply nodded once with a bright smile, "Yes Master, We had planned to come back together. But, that didn't work out so I am here to help you."

"How can I believe you?" Harry frowned to himself, while he had traveled back in time a few hours, the idea of years as it sounded like this girl had traveled seemed impossible. He did remember Hermione saying it was impossible to use a time turner to come back more than a few hours.

The strange pretty girl tilted her head to the side staring at Harry for long moments in thought while biting her bottom lip cutely. Then she smiled brightly and jumped up and down. She flicked her wrist and a wand appeared in her hand then she spoke up, "I, Luna Lovegood, pledge my life, magic, and service to my Master Harry Potter. So mote it be!"

The girl glowed brightly for a moment then smiled happily to for the teen, "Now do you trust me Master?"

Harry simply stared at the girl in surprise. He had never expected her to do that. Hell he had never expected anyone to do that to him. But here this girl had just sworn her life into his hands. Was she insane? Most likely, but was she insane and truly believed what she had been saying? The raven haired teen frowned, "I believe you Luna. You are really from the future what should I do?"

"We need to go to Diagon Ally Master. You need to claim your birthright and get away from Colonel Sanders and his Order of the Friend Chicken." Luna stated with a completely straight face then smiled brightly, "Then you must learn to snog."

At first Harry nodded his head about the idea of going to Diagon Ally. He did after all want to find out what was going on in the world and he was in an information blackout zone with none of his friends talking to him. Hell even Hedwig was taken away after she delivered a letter. But then the final words of the girl reached him and he turned completely red and stuttered. "WHAT?"

Author Note: Yes Luna is a little OC. But you become the most feared dark witch in the world and go through a world war against magic and remain normal. Anyone like it for a little bit of foolishness? Funny, terrible? Worth a few more episodes for the hell of it?
