Reviews

Yuzuki: thank you

Potternatzu: thank you. I like her music as well, even though i discovered her by accident. In my personal opinion, aura and shalltear argue in canon because they are actually best friends crushing on each other. Plus, at the end of her fight with ainz in S1, as she was being destroyed, she said "goodbye, aura" with tears in her closed eyes. Most likely. While i DO like the canon pairing, i personally believe that MOST of the girls are better than ginny, and it most likely is. Again, thank you.

TwinstarDragon: judging by your review, you successfully got the rant out of your system. Release the sails, raise the anchor, hoist the colors and man the helm. It's time to set sail.

Previously

Harry looked at luna, and was surprised that she was silently crying. Feeling bravery befitting his house, harry wrapped his arms around luna in a warm and comforting hug. Luna jumped a bit at the contact, but quickly relaxed into his embrace, hugging harry back.

Now

Harry held luna in a gentle embrace, as luna sniffled and cried against harry's torso. Gently pulling away, harry wiped her tears with his thumbs. Just as he finished, dobby popped back, gave the picture to luna, before he popped back to his task.

Luna started to cry anew. When harry saw the picture, he knew why. Someone had defaced it, and practically destroyed it. Harry drew his wand, before speaking to luna. "Luna," he began in a gentle tone. Luna looked at him, fresh tears falling from her eyes. "I would like to try repairing the picture," he said. Luna's eyes gained a hopeful shine, before she handed him the picture. Harry cast an overpowered [reparo] charm. Going further, he used the [cleaning] charm VERY carefully.

Once he finished, he handed the fully restored picture back to luna, who proceeded to hug it to her chest with a smile. "Thank you, harry," she said gratefully. Just then, dobby popped back to them, a crate full of her missing things, and handed harry a list where every item was found. "Thank you, dobby," harry said. "Yous very welcome," dobby said, before he was gone with a *pop*.

"Luna, i'd like to do something to your stuff," harry said. Luna looked at him. "What do you mean?" she asked him, as her head tilted a bit to the side, showing her confusion. "I'd like to curse your items. That way, if anyone steals them again, we will know," harry said.

Luna thought about it for a few seconds, then conceded. "Please curse them so that if they are stolen, the thieves will be known," she said. "I will need the picture, for a bit," harry said. Seeing her hesitate, harry decided to soothe her. "Don't worry. I will curse the items where you can see me, so you can see if i will damage your stuff," harry said.

Soothed, luna gingerly handed the picture of her mother to harry. He gently took it, placed it with the other items, then proceeded to curse them all with a curse of his own design. After he cursed them, he gave the picture back to luna, who took it and smiled gratefully.

"Come tomorrow, we will know who steals your stuff," harry said with a vindictive smile. Luna, oddly enough, was comforted by that smile. Harry helped her get her stuff back to the ravenclaw dorm, before he kissed her cheek, and left.

The next day, hogwarts great hall

Harry was having breakfast, when the house of ravenclaw came into the great hall, where every single student laughed at them. Why? It's simple.

The hair for most of them was incredibly bright pink.

Harry smirked, glad to see that both his hunch about ravenclaw was right, and the fact that his curse worked so well. As soon as the ravenclaws sat at their table, albus went over to them, himself, in order to change their hair back to normal. However, a few waves of his wand later, and albus had a deep frown on his face.

Seeing his new best friend, harry went over to her. Concerned about what happened to his ravens, flitwick went to their table, as well. "Hello, luna," harry said gently.

Luna turned to face him, smiled and quickly hugged him, much to the shock of most of the students, and the ire of one (try to guess who). Harry hugged her back, and gave an evil smirk to most of the ravenclaws. Once filius got there, harry decided to speak.

"Well, well, what do we have here? Oh, i know. A bunch of filthy magpies in the house of ravens," harry said insultingly. Everyone in the great hall, except for luna, was confused about why he said that. "Mister potter, why are you saying that?" flitwick asked.

Harry looked at his charms teacher. "You are the head of ravenclaw, professor?" harry asked him. "Indeed, i am, mister potter," flitwick answered. Harry then handed the list that dobby made over to flitwick, who took it and looked at it curiously. "What is this supposed to be, mister potter?" he asked.

"A list of EVERY item that was stolen from luna, and where it was found," harry said simply. Filius was shocked. "How did you know about this?" flitwick asked. "Yesterday, i was wandering the halls, lost in thought, when luna and i literally bumped into each other. After we introduced ourselves, i helped her up, and, having a feeling, i looked at her feet, and saw that she wasn't wearing shoes," harry began. Filius was shocked.

Harry continued. "I asked her where her shoes were, and she said that the nargles took them. I had a bad feeling, so i asked if the nargles took anything else of hers. She listed everything else that they took, including the only picture of who i can only assume is her deceased mother that she had. After i asked a house elf to get the missing items and list where it was, she asked to bring the picture to her immediately after it was found. After the elf left, i noticed that luna was actually crying, so i comforted her. After the picture was brought back, it was almost destroyed and heavily drawn on. I fixed and cleaned it, then gave it back to her, and i could tell that she was really happy to have it back," harry continued. Filius was starting to get an idea as to what happened next.

Harry continued. "After the elf brought all the missing items back, i asked luna if i could do something to them, and she agreed, after i soothed her," harry then grew a vindictive smile. "I cursed the items with a curse of my own design. Those afflicted by it can't hide it, no matter how hard they try. The curse cannot be undone by anyone other than me. As you can see," harry's smirk became downright evil at this point. "It works QUITE well on identifying thieves. Hence why i called most of ravenclaw filthy magpies," harry finished.

Filius was amazed that harry was willing to go so far for a new friend. Or rather, a significant other, if he was seeing how happy luna was was an indicator. The affected ravenclaws glared at him, but harry glared at them with the eyes of an enraged dragon, making them back down.

Albus began to lecture harry. "Harry, you MUST return them to normal. This prank has gone too far-" "oh, shut the hell up, you senile bastard!" harry interrupted albus, much to the shock of nearly everyone in the great hall. "This problem has been occurring DAILY, and you did NOTHING about it," harry snarled as he held luna a bit tighter, which she received happily.

Albus was dumbfounded that a STUDENT said that to him. "Also," he continued, getting albus's attention. "I STILL haven't forgiven you, for what you did with my sister! I haven't trusted you, since mum and i found her decaying body in the boot cupboard at the home of those animals that were my relatives!" harry snarled hotly.

"So, take your lecture and your demand that i undo the curse i put on them, shine it up, stick it sideways and shove it up your ass!" harry snarled with hot venom in his tone, as he took luna over to the gryffindor table.

Albus stood there, shocked at the turn of events. filius , on the other hand, glared at most of his ravens. "I think it's high time that i clean house," he stated. That statement cause most of the ravenclaws to fear what was going to happen to them.

Gryffindor table

Harry sat at the gryffindor table, with luna still in his arms. Harry's fellow gryffindors were a bit scared of him, now. Why? Simple. He revealed that he had QUITE the vicious streak in him. Luna turned a bit, so she was sitting sideways in harry's lap, so they could both eat, as they cuddled with each other.

As harry and luna were eating, luna seized up a bit, and her eyes glowed silver, both of which harry noticed. "Luna? What's wrong?" he gently asked her. Luna's eyes turned back to normal, and she was able to relax. She looked up at him, seeing his worried expression. "What was that?" she asked.

"I asked what was wrong. Your body seized against me, and your eyes glowed silver," harry said. "I was having a vision," luna said. "A vision?" harry asked. "Yes, i'm a true seer, unlike that fraud trelawny," luna explained.

"What did you see?" harry asked. "I saw that vampire, shalltear bloodfallen. I saw her with an actual elf, not a house elf, and their position was similar to what we are doing, right now. Finally, i saw shalltear singing a very odd song, to her beloved," luna explained.

"Weird. An elf? Like, fantasy elf?" harry asked. Luna nodded a bit. "Yes, a fantasy elf," luna said. "What was the song shalltear was singing?" harry asked. "Well, it was very odd. Like she heard it only once, but it was burned into her memory," she said, before looking at harry. "You should recognize it, harry, should you hear it," luna said. "Perhaps," harry agreed. He knew that true seers were rarely, if ever, wrong. Unlike trelawney, who kept predicting his death last year.

Nazarick

Shalltear was having a bath, relaxing, as she thought about something. "What would be a good dating spot i can surprise aura with?" shalltear asked herself. She got out of the water, wrapped a towel around her torso and went to the changing room, where she dried off. Her mind was wandering as she dried off, trying to figure out how to surprise her girlfriend.

Suddenly, an idea hit her. "Ah, i know. A picnic beside that lake i saw behind the school," she said happily, before she got dressed. She quickly went to the kitchens, where she'd be able to cook the food for the picnic date. After making enough for two people to have thirds, if they wanted, she put the food in a picnic basket. She then went to her room, after putting the picnic basket in her storage space, in order to find something to use as a blanket on the ground. After searching through her room, throwing stuff aside in her haste, and making QUITE the mess, she found the spare extra large comforter for her bed. "Perfect," she said, before putting the comforter in her storage space with the picnic basket.

Using a [gate] to get to the black lake, she spread the comforter on the ground and put the picnic basket on it, before she put plates on the comforter, and putting food on the plates. "[message]" shalltear cast. "Aura?" she asked. "What's up, shalltear?" "i finally managed to put together a surprise for us to enjoy, my love," shalltear said. "Where is it?" "behind the school, at the edge of the lake," shalltear said. "What should i wear?" "something comfortable," shalltear answered. "Alright, see you in a bit," aura cut the connection, so shalltear had to wait.

Luckily, it wasn't more than three minutes since the [message] was cut, before a [gate] appeared next to the picnic. Once aura stepped out of the [gate, shalltear quickly hugged her girlfriend, and gave her a passionate kiss, which aura returned just as eagerly.

"What do you think, aura?" shalltear asked nervously, as she presented the picnic she made. Aura simply had a gentle smile, before she said "perfect," to which shalltear took one of aura's hands and led her to the picnic. After shalltear sat down, aura decided to be a bit bold, and sat across shalltear's legs, cuddling up to her, to which shalltear responded by wrapping her arms around her.

Shalltear couldn't help but ask something. "Are you comfy, my love?" she asked in a sultry tone. "Indeed i am, my love," aura responded with the same tone. "My love, i made all the food for the picnic," shalltear said.

Aura looked at her girlfriend in surprise. "You can cook?" she asked in disbelief. "Indeed, i can," shalltear said, nervously nodding her head. Aura grabbed some food and had a bite, to which she froze at the taste. "Is it any good?" shalltear asked in a timid tone.

Not answering right away, aura quickly wolfed down the food she selected, making a bit of a mess in the process. "That was some of the best food i've ever had!" aura exclaimed. Shalltear blushed so red that if she wasn't already undead, the amount of blood that rushed to her face would've killed her.

Breathing deeply, the blush faded to normal levels. "Thank you, my love," shalltear said. Aura and shalltear simply cuddled for a while, eating the food when they were hungry. "My love, i would like to sing you a song," shalltear said. Aura looked at her girlfriend in curiosity. "What kind of song?" she asked. "The oldest song i can remember. Afterwards, i will explain where it came from," shalltear said. Suddenly, she looked nervous and scared. "I just hope that you won't reject me, when you find out the truth about me," shalltear said.

Aura gently held shalltear's face and turned her to her. "We will cross that bridge when we get there, shalltear. Right now, though, i'd like to hear the song you mentioned," aura said in a gentle and loving tone.

Shalltear nodded, took a breath to steady her nerves, before she started to sing the oldest song she remembered.

I can see you there

Right by my side as always

You've never let me down, my friend

I can feel you there

Close to my heart as always

Your soul and mine share a bond made of love

So as the skies turn grey

And the clouds gather above

Trying to fight back your tears

Feeling so lost and alone

I am the star that burns for you

Shining through the night

Just follow me

I will guide you home

And when you're feeling lost at sea, listen for my song

Calling you back to the shore

When shalltear finished the song, she fell asleep, gently snoring as she held aura like a teddy bear. Aura simply had a gentle smile on her face. "That was a beautiful song, my love," she said, before she fell asleep, just like shalltear.

Unbeknownst to either of them, harry had seen the entire date. That song, why did it seem so fucking familiar?! Harry demanded in his head.
