Luna's bed
“Dont worry, harrison. We are safe, and time has done us well.” she said.. Eerily peaceful in her way of speaking. Harry just.. Nodded and went back to his thoughts. A bit befuddled but nothing he isnt used to near her.
It was quite nice though..
He sank back into his thoughts.
The chamber of secrets… might be a good hiding spot if the room of requirement isn’t made yet. I might be able to master the basilisk before…tom.. Too.
And the sorcerer's stone.. It isnt being guarded by fluffy yet.. Does it even exist..? Probably.
Hogwarts was already known for having great dangers near children he knew they’d have to face.
and he could only hope they’d be ready.
Luna and harry had gotten situated in their temporary quarters. Relaxing, sitting by the fire and coming up with a plan slowly.
Although yes, harry was worried and luna was too, it was .. quite nice to be alone, comfortable.
It was more comforting than anything, especially being stuck. They sat on the guest common room, staring solemnly into the fire… harry slightly wished sirius would pop up in it and get them out of this. Sirius was a teen at this moment thought, wasn’t he.
“This is.. Nicer than i thought it would feel. I thought we’d be put in a dungeon.”
“oh , harry… not everyone is out to get you my lord, its okay” she said softly, with a smile on her face.
“Why have you been calling me that? It’s just a bit confusing, you didn’t do it before.” Harry was quite confused about it. He wasn’t a lord, atleast he didn’t think he was. It was confusing and a bit worrying.
“My brain told me to, you will save us and i am yours because of it. I’d like to show my devotion in some way, aswell” she smiled softly, brushing up against him, laying her head on his shoulder.
Harry took that answer. He was tired, and he knew she wouldn’t elaborate.
The fire crackled softly in the hearth, casting warm shadows across the room. The guest quarters were far from the dungeons Harry had feared, but there was a chill in the air, the kind that seemed to come from the very stones of the castle.
Luna stretched her arms out on her bed, her arms resting lightly on her stomach. Her blanket had slipped to the floor some time ago, and.. dissapeared.. confusingly.
But it was unnoticed in her dreamy contentment. Harry caught sight of it as he paced the room, lost in his thoughts.
The Chamber of Secrets... Could it really be a sanctuary? Or just a risk waiting to backfire? He frowned, his mind spinning. And the Sorcerer’s Stone…if it’s even here, how would we find it? Dumbledore might know more than he lets on during the test tomorrow.
He glanced over at Luna, who lay curled up, her eyes fluttering closed. The room was cold, but she didn’t move to look for her blanket. Instead… she shifted slightly, exhaling a soft sigh as if entirely unbothered.
“Luna,” Harry said, his voice low. “Your blanket’s gone. Aren’t you cold?”
Her eyes flickered open briefly, her serene smile returning. “Hmmh.. I’m alright,” she murmured, her voice carrying that same otherworldly peace. “It’s.. cozy enough…”
But Harry could see her shoulders tremble slightly in the dim light. He hesitated, knowing she wouldn’t admit to being uncomfortable.
She’d probably just make up some reason about him being scared of some nargle or woobly wobbly thing., he thought, rolling his eyes fondly.
Still, he couldn’t ignore it. With a quiet sigh, he picked up his own blanket and walked over to her. Gently, he draped it across her, careful not to wake her fully.
Luna hummed a bit, relaxing under the warmth.
Harry sighed, he was glad atleast one of them were going to get sufficient rest.
Luna shifted to make room for him, her head still resting on the side of the bed.
She tugged the blanket up around her shoulders, her soft hum of contentment filling the quiet room. As the firelight flickered across her peaceful face, Harry allowed himself a moment to relax. The weight of their mission loomed over him, but for now, it was enough to simply sit in the quiet warmth of the room.
She trusts me, he thought, glancing down at her. Completely. Even when I don’t have all the answers.
That trust was… humbling, but it also brought a strange sense of comfort.
Without really thinking, he leaned back against the cushions, his head resting against the pillows in the bed. The fire’s warmth and Luna’s steady breathing lulled him into a rare sense of ease. He gently let himself be wrapped in her arms, like a plush being held tightly. He dozed off, resting better than he ever has.
Soon, without meaning to, Harry drifted off, the worries of the day melting away as the quiet companionship of the moment wrapped around him like a second blanket.
2 A M
Luna woke up . she felt.. something on her.
slowly realising that, it was harry.
sleeping on her chest, listening to her heartbeat gently. He was so calm, asleep. She couldn’t for the heart of her move.
she gently carressed his hair. humming to hersef and to harry, who was listening along in his peaceful slumber. All that thinking mustve worn him out..
6 A M
an elf called upon the two at exactly 6:15 am.
“Wake up , newbies! Rise and shine its time for your sorting!”
luna and harry quickly woke up and stood up, pretending not to realise they were sleeping on the couch together..
I thought that was a dream.. a good dream…
harry was a little ..worried about being too affectionate with her. He didn’t want to seem.. weird.
that letter had gotten to him quite a bit.
They put on their new robes, old looking, much different to the modern one in their time.
Some time had passed, luna and harry ate two bites of breakfast before someone saw them and they scurried away (aka.. harry pulled luna out of there.)
they sat in headmaster dippet’s office, waiting to be sorted into their house.
First, luna got the hat put on her.
“Ahh, back again? Yes,yes. I remember you…”
Hello hat! its nice to see you again
“same to you… hm.. you are loyal to harry. Kind.”
Thank you!
“hm.. HUFFLEPUFF!”
luna giggled and clapped her hands, excited to see a different quarter to hers.
harry smiled at that. She is quite cute.
he sat on the chair , and the hat gasped.
“oh… you again, potter? seems ive got a surprise for me.”
yes.. hello..
“Hm. You’re assertive. Brave. You could do in..”
You know i don’t want to be there.
“Ah but mister potter, you have changed. Gryffindor was a past choice, seeing you now, yes yes.. it’s very clear..”
Noooo-
“SLYTHERIN!”
harry frowned. dammn it. way to raise suspicion, damn hat.
“Right.” The headmaster said, pulling the hat off of harry.
“Now that you’ve got your house, go to dumbledore. The stairs will lead you, and the ghosts are good guides. He will assess you. All you need is your wands. You do have wands, right?”
Harry and luna had their wands, quickly holding them up to the headmaster and nodding.
they linked arms once again, walking (and luna skipping) to the stairs, knowing their way already.
