A/N From this point on, this story will still be Sleeping Beauty based. However, it will also be my own work as well. She will become friendly with the trio and the Weasleys before the Once Upon a Dream scene. If you don't like it, I suggest you stop reading the story right now.

As Luna grew up in Hogwarts castle, she was watched by Pomona, Poppy, and Minerva closer than the others. Even when the Prince Harry came was she watched closer than him, even though he needed just as much protection as she did.

As the years passed, people started to notice her more, for her comments during her protectors' classes, as well as for her strange comments about strange creatures.

June 12th arrived, her eleventh birthday, and Minerva came into Luna's bedroom, carrying the young girl's presents, to wake her up. Out of the fairies, she was Luna's favorite, and she was the most set out to protecting the girl from Dolores. Minerva walked over to her bed, smiling. "Luna, wake up."

Luna stirred, but didn't wake. That didn't stop Minerva. She, being an Animagus, turned into her cat form and climbed up onto Luna's bed. Luna woke up more often to her cat form than to the actual woman, but then again, that was just because Luna was such a deep sleeper. Rubbing her cat nose against Luna's nose, this caused Luna's nose to twitch.

Minerva continued, finally getting Luna to open her eyes and see the cat. Smiling, she opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. She stroked the cat a few times before Minerva jumped off the bed and transformed back into herself.

"Good morning Luna. And happy birthday. I have your presents. Pomona and Poppy would be here but Potter just arrived in the hospital wing, and Pomona has the final exams to do for her third years. And a letter arrived for you this morning."

Luna went and opened her presents first, opening them carefully. From Pomona, she received a new silver brush, which Minerva explained was charmed to style her hair how it was told. If Luna told it to straighten her hair, it would straighten, and if it was told to make it wavy, it would make it wavy. From Poppy, she was given a violin. Luna loved the violin, and she had been playing Poppy's, until now, since she had a new one.

From Minerva, she received something that was not wrapped but covered. It had a rounded top. Uncovering it, she saw a beautiful black owl in a cage, looking at her. "She's beautiful."

"What will you name her?"

"Eris." Luna, knowing Greek Goddesses, had always loved this name, and decided that this was the perfect time to use it.

"You have a letter to open, dear."

Luna opened the letter, thinking she already knew what it was, and to her relief, she was right. It was her Hogwarts acceptance letter, telling her what she needed to buy. "It's my acceptance letter."

"I knew you'd be getting in here. You have lived here so long, and shown so much magical skill already. It was only a matter of time before the letter would be coming."

"When shall we be shopping for my supplies?"

"Later today. But we must do—"

"The spells so that no one will recognize me."

"Yes."

Nodding, Luna got out of her bed and stretched, before going to her connecting bathroom. Minerva left her room, letting her shower and get ready. It took about an hour, but finally, she was ready in her clothes, just as Pomona was finishing with her classes. She was wearing her denim shorts that she had bought in Muggle London when the three professors had taken her, as well as her blue tank top with ruffles.

Meeting up with Pomona and Minerva, she smiled as they turned around. "Dear, we're just going to change your hair color and length with charms, as well as your eye color. I am sorry, but these are dangerous times."

Luna nodded, and closed her eyes. It took a few seconds, but after they were finished, she opened her eyes and looked in a mirror. She now had dark brown eyes, with a chin length A-line cut. It looked nice, but she liked her blonde hair and style more, as it was more her.

Poppy reached them, as she had finished at the hospital wing, and the four of them started off to Hogsmeade, where they would all apparate, Luna using side-apparition, to Diagon Alley to get Luna's books and supplies.

"So, where will we head to first?" Luna was lost at all this, so she left it to the three older women to lead her. They started at Madam Malkin's where they bought her robes and hat. While Luna was being measured, she asked McGonagall, "Since I have lived at Hogwarts all my life, is it a possibility that the first year rule with the broomsticks could be waived?"

"Sorry Luna, but we don't even know if you can fly yet. If you can and you make the house team, then perhaps."

"If I am not sorted into Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, then what happens? Will you all no longer watch over me?"

"We will always watch over you. Whether you're a Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin."

"Thanks Minerva."

Minerva smiled and walked over to the other two, waiting for Luna to finish with her robes.

Hours later, the four of them returned to Hogwarts, just in time for dinner. Minerva and Poppy undid the appearance charms that Luna had on herself, before they had to return to the Hospital wing to see Potter, as he had managed to somehow hurt himself, and Pomona had to return to her office to work on doing grades, since she had to hand them back a little while later. Luna carried her things up to her room and went down to eat dinner. She chose to eat with the Ravenclaws today, finding herself impatient for a new year to come.
