Chapter 2 Life at the Lovegoods Explanations, Meetings, and a Friend

Harry gaped openly as he saw the four plates each consisting of two pancakes, a sizable portion of scrambled eggs, and bacon drift into the air and settle on the table,

Stammering Harry asked, "How did that happen?"

Luna turned around smiling, "It's magic Harry."

Xenophilius and Remus both nodded, "Sit eat your breakfast we have a lot to discuss."

Harry meekly nodded and sat down when four forks drifted to each plate Remus looked down at Harry,

"Were going to be imparting a lot of information to you so no questions till were done can you do that."

Harry nodded, "Yes sir."

Remus nodded, "None of that sir stuff Remus will be fine first of including yourself were all witches and wizards. Your parents were also magical and we live in secret from the non-magical community and we have our own government. Your father was part of an old family of wizards and witches called the Potters that have been a magical family for nearly seven hundred years while your mother was a first generation witch. Know before we go to the part Mr. Lovegood will explain do you have any quick questions."

Harry hesitantly asked, "Did my parents really die in a car crash?"

A flash of anger came across Remus face and Harry began to think he had done something wrong when it quickly disappeared,

"No Aunt and Uncle lied to you there was a war and your parents died when the leader of the other side a very bad man named Lord Voldemort came into your home murdering them. It was the last attack of the war and afterwards for reasons unknown he disappeared and no one knows why or if he's truly dead or alive. Though according to Dumbledore you survived a killing curse a curse which no one else has ever survived before the only evidence it left behind was that scar on your forehead it also makes you famous in the wizarding world."

Harry wasn't sure what to say, "I'm just Harry I'm nothing special."

Xenophilius nodded grimly, "Now Harry onto how and why you are here. The short answer is that Dumbledore place you with your aunt and uncle. Though your father's side of the family's had family alliances with four magical families these family alliances come about when a family has been helped in some great way or two family heads determined it to be in the best interest for both families. For instance three hundred years ago due to your family's intervention my family was saved. While the Moons alliance with your family comes from the fact they saved yours. Anyway typically the terms are beneficiary and one of those terms for all the families that have alliances with your family is that if the only surviving members are not of age they take them in. For the last seven years we have tried every legal means conceivable to get joint custody of you. This failed because Albus Dumbledore is the most powerful political figure in Britain. So we decided upon a different approach that where Remus a good friend of your father comes in we hired him to find you so we could at the very least arrange a meeting but after seeing your appalling conditions we decided to take immediate action."

Suddenly Luna interrupted, "Can Harry and I play know daddy."

Xenophilius nodded, "I suppose that enough information for now."

Harry proceeded to finish his last pancake and followed Luna outside. The Lovegood lands consisted of the manor which sat in a large glen, a forest that stretched out on all sides, various cobblestone paths, and a babbling brook that flowed through the forest. Harry took it all in and was about to follow Luna when he hesitated noticing this Luna asked,

"What's bothering you Harry?"

"Are you being nice to me because it required?"

Blinking Luna replied, "I just want to be your friend."

Harry smiled, "I've never had a friend before how do you suppose you become a friend?"

Luna skipped over to Harry grabbing his hand, "I'm Luna Lovegood want to be my friend?"

Harry nodded, "I'm Harry and I'd be happy to be your friend."

Luna smiled, "See know were friends."

The following three days consisted of swimming, meeting Lucy the wolf, finding the silver pixies, and solidifying of friendship between Luna and Harry. Harry despite being there for just three days never felt happier nor healthier. He could sometime sense where some of the animals were just like Luna could and he could also feel the magic rolling from the forest surrounding him making him feel safe. When he asked Xenophilius why this was during breakfast one day he replied by saying,

"Your family has a connection to this forest just like our family does. Though isn't as deep considering that only a couple members of your family were born here. Also the fact several of your ancestors died protecting this forest so it returns the favor by protecting you as well."

Curious Harry asked, "How is the forest alive?"

Smiling Xenophilius replied, "It's a quite the tale however I only tell it once a year on the anniversary of the date that my family became the patriarchs of the forest. So you'll have to wait till spring for the answers to that particular question. Know before Lucy and Luna take off without you best get going. Also remember the meeting the adults and children of your allies is tonight."

Harry nodded and as he was heading out he asked, "Okay by the way where is Remus?"

Xenophilius sagely replied, "Oh he works as a reporter for the Quibbler and he's writing an article about thestrals."

Later that Night:

Harry exchanged hugs and shook hands with many people he was sure he wouldn't remember the names of. They all sat down on a long table which consisted of twelve people. The meal was full of many delicious foods including roast beef, lamb, pork, squash, beets, and for dessert strawberry rhubarb pie. After everyone was done Valorena Moon stood up,

"Mr. Potter our proposal that we have all agreed to present to you is that for the next four years leading up to Hogwarts we will each house you for one year. Starting with the Lovegoods, the Greengrass family, the Longbottoms, and then lastly my family the Moons. During the summer breaks from Hogwarts we will rotate in a similar way until you are seventeen is that sufficient for you."

Harry stood up and as he was coached spoke, "Harry heir of House Potter agrees to these terms as fulfillment of the alliances we have agreed upon so mote it be."

A flash of light surrounded everyone at the table and Harry sat down the night falling into easy conversation once again.

Year at the Lovegood's Story 2: Werewolf Remus and brother and sister forever

Harry awoke to sunshine streaming through his window it had been about a month since he had arrived. The things Harry was grateful for were too numerous to count some of them consisted of adventures with Luna, three square meals a day, and the feeling of magic emanating from the forest surrounding him with a peaceful protective shroud that was slowly but surely eroding away the hurts and pain the Dursley's had caused him. Harry grabbed his glasses from his dresser and stared as always with delight upon his room. His bed was surrounded by two windows one to the back the other to the right. To his left a set of new clothes hung in the closet and cramped in small corner sat a small writing desk. After going down the stairs Harry was delighted to see Remus who told the best stories about his dad's various pranks and school adventures, Luna staring at something unseen, and Xenophilius with a pipe in his mouth and a pen in his hand staring intently at a blank white piece of paper as if willing it to reveal its secrets,

"Good morning everyone," Harry said brightly

Harry's greeting startled everyone except for Remus and sat down next to Luna and asked excitedly, "So what's our adventure for today?"

Smiling mischievously Luna whispered in Harry's ears, "While as you know Harry Remus is a werewolf tonight I was going to show you the most peaceful place in the forest where Lucy and Remus our going to spend the night."

Whispering back Harry asked, "So why are we whispering?"

"Were whispering Harry because Remus doesn't he's going to spend the night there yet."

"So it's a surprise."

Wispily Luna responded out loud, "Maybe Remus want to go on an adventure with Harry and I today."

Evasively Remus responded, "I'm not quite a hundred percent today."

Luna gave her best puppy dog eyes, "I know tonight's the monthly wraths get you but until then."

Harry finished along with Luna, "You must simply join us on an adventure."

After sighing, giving the puppy dogs eye children a scornful look, and then finally a pretended annoyance Remus agreed to their proposal,

"Fine but we have to get back early afternoon at the latest."

Letting a triumphant roar the two eight year olds jumped up and down excitedly. Then Luna gave Harry a quick but forceful hug,

"There is your Luna hug for the day Harry."

Smiling Harry simply replied, "Thank you Luna."

Ever since Harry arrived Luna insisted on hugging Harry at least once a day. In Harry's estimation he usually ended up with about three. Following Luna outside Harry was immediately knocked over by a silver and white haired wolf who gave Harry two quick licks. Then wagging her tail she snuggled on Luna's leg. Scratching Lucy's ear's Luna said affectionately,

"You just had to share your wolf slobber with Harry didn't you?"

Getting up Harry said, "You're just encouraging Lucy to keep knocking me over."

Luna shook her head, "I would never do that Harry oh here's Remus."

Wearing a light t-shirt, grey pants, and carrying walking stick stood Remus who had slight grin on his face,

"Well what are you young kids waiting for were going on an adventure are we not."

Luna nodded, "Right you are."

Lucy led as they trekked up many cobblestone paths that wove through the forest. Suddenly Luna and Lucy stopped Luna was beaming with her trademark mischievous smile. Harry's sixth sense warning of danger immediately rang inside his head telling them they were heading toward a somewhat dangerous creature confirming his thoughts Luna turned around her speaking in wispily tone,

"Our original destination is not far away however the sprites of the forest want us to visit I assume it's because I haven't visited them for quite a while."

Voicing Harry's thoughts Remus replied, "Sprites our most known playing pranks, biting their victims, and sometimes even taking humans and leaving them up in tree when their fun has ended."

Hearing this Harry's eye's looked around rapidly remembering vividly remembering the silver fairies from two weeks prior when they were done Lucy's fur was painted yellow while Luna and Harry's face was painted sky blue. Their adventures sandwiches also mysteriously disappeared since sprites sounded very similar they were on Harry's avoid list. Not that being on the avoid list did much good Luna had an uncanny ability to make Harry follow her anywhere with just a small smile and a twinkling of her lively grey eyes. Luna petting Lucy interrupted Harry's thoughts,

"Lucy thinks it's a good idea and since Harry hasn't said anything he thinks it's a good idea too."

Than giving her trademark dreamy smile she and Lucy went into the forest. Harry and Remus looked at each other and Harry spoke,

"Just for the record my Potter danger sense is going off."

Remus nodded, "Duly noted know let's get going I have no interest in losing my bosses daughter."

Around a half an hour passed before they found what they were looking for. The sprite village as Harry decided to call it consisted of four trees with hundreds of tiny little houses on each branch. There was a big house in the middle of the third tree six fairies were currently carrying inside using magic globs of honey. Nothing happened for several minutes until the sprites carrying the honey were finished with their task and out of the biggest house came a procession of sprites all carrying wooden swords forming two lines then a younger looking female sprite exited she wore a crown made from violets she also wore a dark green and red dress made from leaves and rosebud."

Harry noticed at the sight of the queen that Luna's smile disappeared slightly,

"So Queen Lethrane passed on then."

The queen sprite nodded solemnly, "Yes and I her eldest daughter know Queen Loraine ask you the patriarch of our forest for a blessing."

Luna nodded her hands emanating a bright white light and her voice changed from her usual whimsical to a stoic calm,

"I Luna Lovegood patriarch of the emerald forest hereby invoke my blessing upon Queen Loraine fourth of her name may her reign be long and filled with many days of peace and great fun to be had by all so mote it be."

Suddenly a bright white light surrounded Queen Loraine Luna then took a deep breath and feinted into Harry's outstretched arms,

"Harry can I have some chocolate chip cookies from the adventure bag please."

Nodding Harry opened the adventure bag handing her the cookies and like some magic switch the sprites turned to their standard boorish behavior,

"Ah," stated the Queen, "Luna has a boyfriend."

Giving the Queen one of her more piercing gazes and speaking in one of her more commanding tones,

"Harry is my friend."

The Queen merely looked amused at this admission raising her hand in the air and hundreds of little wooden swords started swatting Harry chanting all the while,

"Luna and Harry"

Remus then unleashed a fear some growl like magic the hundred little sprites who were hitting Harry cowered behind their Queen sighing loudly the Queen spoke,

"You should all be ashamed there are fairies with more courage than you lot get the powder."

To Harry powder sounded really bad,

"Luna I think we have overstayed our welcome I think it's time to stay goodbye."

Luna smiled at Harry as white powder erupted all them, "It's too late Harry they have us know."

Harry awoke on a sturdy branch on a very tall tree attached by some a sticky substance that Harry assumed was honey,

"I have to say that sprites our wonderful creatures"

Remus responded from the tree next to his,

"I have to agree Harry though not all is entirely lost I finally have an answer to what attracts more danger Sirius Black blood or James Potter blood. I can say with a certainty know that it's the Potter blood and secondly Lucy has found us which probably means that Luna is not too far behind."

Lucy was sitting at the bottom of Harry's tree looking at him with a very curious expression Luna's voice than rang out,

"Harry Remus you have some sparkly material that glitter's when the sun hits it I have to say it's very pretty though it is sad that it will be gone tomorrow."

Harry spoke in the calmest demeanor he could,

"Not be rude Luna but do you have a way down"

Smiling Luna replied, "You're not being rude Harry"

Luna then proceeded to take two brooms out of the adventure pack Remus than spoke in an amazed dry tone,

"Is there anything that adventure pack doesn't have?"

Luna must not have heard because she started to speak,

"Loraine would you be so kind as to bring the brooms to my friends and unstick them from the tree"

The Queen flew out of Luna's coat a disgruntled expression across her face,

"I can't believe you're making me do this I'm the Queen this is a job for someone below my station."

Luna watched with amusement as the Queen brought up the brooms and responded,

"What you did to my friends was very rude"

A couple minutes later everyone was safely on the ground then they were bombarded by Loraine's lecture about proper respect that was owed to her because she was the Queen thankfully she left after only three minutes. Looking at her companions Luna than spoke,

"It's a fifteen minute walk from here"

Remus and Harry nodded sagely following Lucy and Luna's lead

Fifteen long minutes later they arrived at their destination the sight they beheld was simply magnificent there was a waterfall with a cave behind it and a small deep dark pool that waterfall poured itself into. Harry sat down on the rocky edge splashing his bare feet into the water,

"So this is the place then"

Luna nodded and looked at Remus who was already taking out a blanket for their picnic sitting down next to him Luna held him in a half hug,

"Luna sometimes I find myself believing this all to be a happy dream and when I wake up I'll be back there."

Holding Harry a little closer Luna responded, "Harry I've always wanted a brother so if you're dreaming I'm dreaming to. By the way did you know I was born in that cave?"

Curious Harry asked, "Is there a particular reason"

Luna smiled lopsidedly, "There are several first it's the exact middle of the forest, its where the last magical elf patriarch of the forest died, and it's where most of my ancestors were born"

Harry nodded not really knowing what to say, "Interesting"

For the next several minutes Luna and Harry held each other close while listening to the peaceful sound of the water fall. Until Remus interrupted,

"Lunch is ready"

Harry then spoke to Luna, "I know were not by blood but would you mind if I think of you as my sister I've always wanted one."

Grabbing Harry's hand all the while giving him a big smile Luna dragged him to blanket where the sandwiches and the fruit salad awaited them,

"How about we swear an oath to be brother and sister for life"

Hearing this Remus spoke up, "Before you do any oath's you should tell me so you don't end up regretting it"

Luna smiled smugly, "You worry way too much Remus by the way," Luna took out a potion from her pocket, "You and Lucy should stay in that cave behind the waterfall tonight it's the most peaceful place in all the forest and your transformation will be slightly less painful"

Looking thoughtful Remus responded, "If you have any books in that adventure bag of yours and Lucy doesn't mind I suppose I can stay. However back to the originally subject I forbid you to do any oaths that involve blood nor anything that is marriage related"

Luna nodded, "The brother and sister vow that I found in the Lovegood library follows those rules"

Harry looked really interested and asked, "I haven't read that book yet so could you tell me what are the effects of a brother and sister vow"

Luna nodded, "Well you can always find the other person, know if they are hurt, and you can tell but not feel what their emotions are"

Harry making a split second decision proclaimed, "I'd really like that"

Smiling Luna pulled out a book from the adventure pack, "Alright Harry"

Luna looked at Harry's and Remus amazed expression with an amused expression,

"You know the adventure pack is connected to the manor you think what you want and it comes"

Harry sighed, "I love magic"

Luna then flipped the pages of the book till she found the correct page, "brother and sister vow alright Harry you have to go first here's what you read off"

After reading vow Harry began, "I Harry James Potter do solemnly swear to love, defend, and respect Luna Selene Lovegood like any brother by blood would till the end of my days so mote it be"

Luna then continued by taking the book, "I Luna Selene Lovegood do solemnly swear to love, defend, and respect Harry James Potter like any sister by blood would till the end of my days so mote it be"

A white flash enveloped Harry and Luna then they both held each other's hands staring at each other with beaming smiles Harry spoke first,

"I like not being alone Luna"

Nodding Luna replied, "Me to"

All too soon after pulling out several books for Remus out of the adventure pack and finishing the sandwiches and fruit salad, Luna and Harry began the trek home.
