A/N: This is Chapter 5 of Harry Potter and the New Life. I'm diverging a bit here. In this chapter, Luna will be confronting the wizards over Harry's previous living conditions.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or My Little Pony.
Chapter 5:
Princess Luna approached the gates of the largest castle in scotland, having gotten its location from a wand-carrier. She pushed the gates open and walked up the path, her talk with Celestia coming to her mind.
Flashback:
"Sister, the state of little Harry's living conditions before I brought him over was appalling. I intend to find out why he was even living with those deplorable humans." Luna exclaimed.
Celestia looked over at Luna. "I know you're furious. I am, too. but that's no reason to go off half-cocked. Stay for a few days and plan out what you will say. be respectful too. Once you have everything ready, then have a safe journey."
Flashback end.
Luna had done what Celestia asked and smiled softly as she approached the front doors. She knocked three times and waited until the door was opened. Behind it was an old man carrying a broom.
"What do you want? We don't normally allow visitors." he said grumpily.
"I'm here to see a Professor Dumbledore." Luna said.
The man scowled. "Everyone wants to see Dumbledore. He's a very busy man. But I guess you can come in." He opened the door more and Luna walked in. "By the way, I never got your name."
Luna smiled. "My apologies. I am Luna. Mistress of the Night."
"You're not a vampire, are you?" he asked.
"No, I'm no vampire." She reassured him. "Where can I find Dumbledore."
The man sighed. "Take a left in front of the great double doors at the end of this hall and climb the stairs until you reach the seventh floor. Take a left at the top and look for a phoenix statue. A password wasn't set yet, so just request access and you should be taken to his study." Luna thanked the man and headed off to follow his directions Upon reaching the statue she followed what he said and watched the statue come to life, the stairs spinning upwards. She got on them and rode them up.
Upon reaching the top, she stepped off and knocked on the door. She entered upon being given permission.
"Ah, to what do I owe the visit, Guardian of the Moon?" Dumbledore asked.
"You know of me?" Luna asked.
"Yes. I also know you stole Harry Potter from his place of residence a few days ago. Where did you take him?"
"I took him to my world, where he will be shown love. He will be allowed to return to this world to come to Hogwarts, if he should choose to." Luna explained.
"And what of the blood wards over #4 Privet Drive?" Dumbledore asked. "If he no longer calls that place home, they will fail and expose his only remaining family to danger."
"While it is true those wards protect him from outside threats, they don't protect him from threats inside the home." Luna said.
Dumbledore smiled. "You're wrong, my dear. The blood wards, so long as they are active, protect the family from all threats. Harry's aunt, uncle, and cousin cannot harm him inside the wards. The most they can do is talk down to him or ignore him. Plus, the wards are keyed to Miss Petunia Dursley, so as long as he isn't hurt under her watch, the wards will remain strong over the house."
Luna nodded in thought. "I see. Very well then. For two weeks every year, Harry Potter will go back to his relatives to recharge the wards. That is agreeable, right?" She asked.
Dumbledore smiled. "It is, Mistress Luna. I'm glad we had this talk." They shook hands and Luna departed.
"Well, at least I know Harry can't come to any physical harm at his relatives house. And I'm sure having a friend to stay with him will make it more bearable." Luna said to herself as she turned into a cloud of stars and vanished from Earth once more.
