A/N: THE BIG THREE-ZERO! WOO HOO! Also 3 chapters in two days! What's up with that? Anyway...I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has stuck along for the ride and those that have written reviews. If I had to guess at this moment I'd guess that this series will wrap up somewhere between Chapters 40-50 but that's just a guess. It could go more. Who knows?

AS ALWAYS: LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, FAVORITE and REVIEW!

Harriet woke up early that morning. Today was the day the Quibbler was due to be released and Harriet was nervous. She loved Luna and there was no doubt in her mind that she wanted marry her but she didn't realize what a big thing it would be to the community as a whole. She had never really gotten used to the attention of being The Girl Who Lived or the Chosen One or whatever else they were calling her these days. She never really paid attention to all that though. She just wanted to be Harriet. That was it. She didn't want special treatment, gifts or favors. Harriet needed to clear her head so she got dressed, grabbed her Firebolt, a wand that she thought was hers and headed out of the castle.

The sun was beginning to rise as she got into the sky. She raced around the Quidditch pitch and the grounds for a while before stopping to watch the sun rise over the lake. It was beautiful and she felt at peace for just a moment for before a red stunner bolt rushed past, nearly missing her. She grabbed her wand out and spun around, casting protego as another stunner hit the shield she had just put up. She saw a third stunner come from near the edge of the forest and bolted down towards the origin point, dodging the incoming stunner. She briefly saw a hooded figure and cast Stupefy before the figure disappeared from view. She made an attempt to follow the figure through the woods but whoever it was had disappeared.

As she exited the woods Hagrid had stumbled out of his home crossbow in hand, "What in the blazes?" Harriet landed near Hagrid and explained how she had just been attacked and narrowly avoided being stunned out of midair. She had tried to follow the figure but had lost track of them. "Fang and I will go take a look. You should probably head back inside for the moment." Harriet nodded and told him to be careful before mounting her broom once more and flying close to the ground back to the main entrance.

"Harriet? Is everything ok? What's happening? I can almost feel your heart and mind racing" came the worried voice of Luna in her head.

"Yeah I think so. I was just attacked while flying this morning but they disappeared before I could catch them. Hagrid is going to take a look and I'm on my way back to the room. It's going to be quite the day," Harriet thought in return.

Well I'm glad you're ok. Have you seen my wand by the way? Yours is still sitting here on the side table.

Harriet almost screeched to a stop as she pulled out the wand she had used to defend herself from the unknown assailant. It was in fact Luna's wand. "It appears I grabbed it by mistake this morning. I'm surprised it worked actually. Most wands don't work for other wizards I thought. That's what Mr. Ollivander meant when he always said that the wand chose the wizard. It felt no different than using my own wand."

That's quite interesting. I was unaware we could do that. A few seconds passed by. Hey! I can use your wand too. You're right though. It felt exactly like using my own wand. I wonder why that is. We'll have to experiment with it more later. It could be good research.

A couple minutes later, Harriet walked through the door of their room and went to hand Luna's wand back. "Sorry about that love. I didn't realize I grabbed the wrong wand."

Luna thought for a moment and she shook her head. "You keep it for the day and I'll keep yours. I want to keep testing this out if that's ok with you."

Harriet nodded, "Of course it is. I wouldn't just trust anyone with my wand you know but seeing as how you're going to be my wife and all…."

Luna lit up and smiled before giving Harriet a loving kiss. "Now we should get down to breakfast. Don't want to miss the mail." She grabbed Harriet's wand from the side table and stuck it behind her ear as she normally did with hers. "I wonder if Professor McGonagall is planning on saying anything," she mused to herself.

Needless to say Harriet was more nervous than Luna was as they headed down to breakfast on that Monday morning. "It is definitely going to be an interesting day…or should I say more interesting," Harriet thought to herself. She made a mental reminder to talk to the Headmistress about the attack this morning as well as see if she knew anything about the wand situation.

Good idea! Can I come too?

"Of course you can. You're my wife-to-be," Harriet mentally replied. She looked at Luna who blushed slightly.

They were still among the first ones to arrive at breakfast that morning. Slowly everyone else began to file in. Ginny and her friends sat at the other end of the table with Ginny still occasionally glaring at Harriet. Eventually everyone else filed in and blocked the view between them. Harriet was thankful for that because what was going to happen today was going to not make Ginny very happy. Not that Ginny's happiness was really any of Harriet's concern any more but she still didn't like to inflict unhappiness on other people. Harriet was still rather nervous and as such didn't eat as much as normal while Luna happily hummed away. Hermione sat down across from them dragging a tired and disheveled Ron with her.

"Morning," she exclaimed cheerfully, "Ready for the big day…or should I say the big day before the big day?" Ron mumbled something as he started loading his plate with food and began eating. Clearly he wasn't a morning person either.

"Certainly," stated Luna as if it were a fact, "I can't wait to see it. Daddy said he was going to be sending lots of extras for the students and teachers."

Harriet almost choked on her food. "He's doing what now?" Unfortunately for Harriet she didn't get an answer as the owls came screeching in. Through the roof came a series of large owls carrying wrapped packages and dropped one on each table, including the teachers table. As soon as they dropped the packages, they automatically unwrapped and displayed several new copies of the Quibbler in each one. Hermione had gotten a copy as part of her subscription and unrolled it to read. Harriet and Luna had each received a private copy as well. They opened straightened out their copies of the Quibbler. The cover of the magazine read, The Chosen One has Chosen One! Underneath that was the picture they had taken of Harriet proposing to Luna with the sub caption The Girl Who Lived to Marry Daughter of Quibbler. Harriet felt herself turn almost red as Luna beamed. Harriet hated being the center of attention.

She looked around the Great Hall to see several copies of the Quibbler being picked up and read. Pretty much the entire Great Hall was staring at her and Luna and talking about it. Then they started to receive congratulations up and down the Gryffindor table and the neighboring Hufflepuff table as people began to read the story and take it all in. Not all the reactions were good though. At one end of the Gryffindor table there was a loud slam as a fury of redhair got up and flew out of the hall. Subsequently over at the Slytherin table Draco Malfoy had read the cover and he was furious! He should be the one to marry Harriet, not the crazy Looney Lovegood! He ripped up the paper and threw it to the ground as he stormed out of the great hall.

After a couple minutes of commotion and noise the headmistress stepped up to the podium and silenced the room. "Good morning students! Let us start by congratulating Miss Lovegood and Miss Potter on their engagement." With that a thunderous applause roared through the Great Hall. Luna stood up, pulling a reluctant beat-red Harriet with her as they waved to the crowd and thanked them. As they sat back down the headmistress continued, "The ceremony will be held at Hogwarts the day after your finals. We will get more details as the date approaches. Now moving on…" The rest of the announcements were uneventful in comparison. People were still whispering about the engagement and stealing glances at the couple.

It was definitely going to be an interesting day….
