Chapter 9(Luna) Tears

"Well I guess I'll get us some food," Neville said reluctantly.

"Good I brought some gurdy root and radishes," I exclaimed.

"Ummm. That's good Luna, but I brought some crackers, and Ginny can transfigure them into something, like pasta. Is that okay with you two?" Harry replied.

"Well, I guess it is okay with me if its okay with Neville," Luna disappointedly answered. Neville just nodded and shrugged in a nonchalance way.

"Okay!" Ginny perkily said smiling broad and clapping her hands together. I could tell immediately that she was trying to shed some bright light on this very dark situation.

The rest of the 'family' just shrugged and split up; Harry going to check on his daughter, Neville to try and make some stone dressers, beds, and mattresses, and Ginny going to try and make some pasta. I just stood in the middle of the stone den that was to be our home for about a week until we were forced to try and hide out in another country keeping out of the way of any Dark Art supporters.

"Hey, Luna could you come help me out with making the dinning room?" Neville asked me as he made a small pebble into a high chair for Lily.

"Sure Crumple Dear," I replied sappily. He gave me a slightly questioning look, but beckoned me to come over.

"Okay. Here is what I want you to do. I want you to make three more chairs. While you do that I will make 1 chair, a table, plates, and cups."

"K" I cheered smiling.

"Glorintha!" yelled three times and different objects: a rock, a blade of grass, and a deceased insect. Three chairs sprouted up; a stone one, a springy green one, and a blue fuzzy one. Neville had conjured a fuzzy high chair form a small wool piece, a majestic chair from a butterfly, and a stone table from a rock.

"Are we ready yet?" Harry prompted at his best try at a cheerful composition as he carried Lily over and placed her in the high chair.

"Yeeeees," Ginny's ringing voice echoed around the cave as she carried a woven basket of pinwheels and meat sauce. We all sat down around the table in the various chairs colored and shaped chairs. We ate in mostly silence listening outside for the slightest crackling leaf or snapping twig.

"Yuna!" lily screamed handing me her last piece of pasta.

"Thank you Lily," said in my baby voice as I pretended to eat the pinwheel when actually dropping it on the ground. Lily gave an excited scream and clapped her hands.

"Ginny could you put Lily in her crib?" Harry asked his loving wife.

"Oh I'll do it Harry," I dreamily said scooping Lily out of her chair and placing her in the crook of my arm.

"Um, okay." The couple said nervously. Neville stared at me as I played with the small child bringing her to the crib made from a small fuzzy piece of a sweater.

"Hello Lily. Now, how are we tonight? Are we going to have good dreams? Yes we are yes. We are going to dream about crumplehornsnorkacks and yummy gurdy root pancakes. Right? Yes!" I exclaimed smiling broadly as I placed her securely in place. Then I went back and sat with all the adults around the table with stern looks on there faces.

"well-" Neville asked all of us.

"Well. We have to leave tomorrow morning. It is to late to move Lily tonight, but we can't stay in the very place where we know that the death eaters come." Harry commanded determinedly.

"Perfect Plan," Ginny agreed snuggling up to her love.

"Well, it's not full-proof, but it's the only thing we have at the moment," Neville's eyebrows furrowed and it made him look quite glorious.

"Well, Luna what's your views?" Ginny prodded for my opinion.

"Well," I replied scratching my nose absent mindedly, "I think we should just move to Nevada. That's a state in the U.S.A. There isn't a very likely chance that we will be found there."

"Yeah. Hmm. That's a thought, but. Well okay tomorrow we can go to Nevada, but now let's all go to sleep we will need to get up early tomorrow and it is late," Ginny helpful and supportive of my idea offered. We all gave a mumble of consent. Ginny and I went toward the corner containing Lily and Harry and Neville went not far away in the opposite corner. Ginny fell asleep the minute she touched the wool bed; still in her day cloths and Harry gave her check a light kiss. Neville came over and we kissed. His lips were soft and gentle against mine. Our eyes closed and our arms wrapped each other. It felt like we were back in Canada, back to our first kiss. The whole terribleness came crushing down on me. All the horrible memories inside my mind started tumbling on top of my soul, including the death of my mother. Tears fell silently from my eyes wetting my face and Neville's. I know he noticed because he squeezed me tighter and his sweetness just made more tears pour from my eyes. My life had changed so much from the time when I had been teased for my radish earrings and had been so naive.

Neville opened his eyes and looked at me and the tears spilling profusely from my blue eyes. He pushed the wet hair stuck on my face back behind my ear and kissed me again. Not a long kiss but a nice soft lovely one. I stared into his muddy brown eyes and more tears leaked out. I put my head onto his shoulder and cried some more; he held me tight. Rocking and humming softly he held me until there were no more tears left in my eyes. I looked up again. Neville took his sleeve and wiped the remaining tears off my face. His eyes were bright and he gave me a final hug. We separated still holding hands.

"We have to go to sleep. You know we have to," Neville gave me a knowing smile. I sniffed and nodded giving him a last hug and walked over to my bed as he watched me. When I closed my eyes I heard him move towards his own bed. I never got to hear the familiar sound of his snores like I had heard in the room of Requirement while we were hiding form the Caro's.

CRASH

"What the H is that," Harry screamed whipping out his wand. Ginny ran over to Lily and held her close to her bosom. I sat in my bed quite still. Neville was used to this though he shouted Obliviate and the stranger's evil eyes turned blank and glazed. Harry then stunned him. I started shaking and as Harry went to examine the body with Ginny close in toe. Neville rushed over and as he did I collapsed on to the bed shaking. Neville enveloped me with his arms and said soothing words to me as I tried as hard as I could to not start crying again. When I had started to calm down I heard swearing coming form the Potter's direction.

"What's wrong Harry?" Neville asked standing up, but keeping a hand on my shoulder.

Then the last thing I remember is a loud bang and then everything was engulfed by darkness.
