Harry lay awake in his room as he staired at the ceiling. It was strange how alike he and Luna were. He just recently found out that theyy where both the subjects of prophecy's. The difference was, Luna was already fighting to fulfil her prophecy, without even knowing it excisted. Harry remembered what her father said about the cost of such a prophecy.
As Harry felt himself drift off to sleep he heard the the strangest sound. Harry soon found himself following the etheral humming into the forrbidden forrest. He didn't need to hear the familar mellody of moonlight sonata to know who the humming belonged to. Eventully he found her sitting in the middle of a clearing. Harry could hear the saddness in her voice as she finished her humming.
"I don't understand Harry, I only want to help people, but all I do is hurt them," Luna whispered softly."I killed Pansy."
"No you didn't Luna, you didn't know..."
"I should have known! I gave her that pudding knowing it was tainted with Stone's...I thought it would be funny. I guess he was right," Luna whispered.
"He?"
"Gandi of cource," Luna answered as if he was daft for not already knowing. "He was a muggle who believed you could change the world without resorting to voilence. He once said "an eye for an eye leaves the world blind," I guess he was right."
Harry pulled Luna into a hug as she cried into his shoulder. "He believed you didn't need to resort to voilence to change the world. He sacrificed everything to free his people. You know what happened to him? He was murdered, in cold blood, just because he beleived people shouldn't kill people for being different. He only wanted to make the world a better place and they killed him!"
Harry tryed to calm Luna down as her grief quickly turned to anger. "I'm such an idiot to believe I could make a difference. Muggles and Wizards will always be voilent bigits. I give them a chance at unity and they will destroy eachover. No wonder people want me dead. Well I'm done with them. I was never one of them and I don't want to be one of them NOW!"
Luna suddenly let out a short but shattering scream that sent a couple of trees to the ground. Luna eyes whidened even more in shock. "I'm sorry, I don't now what came over me. I felt this strange feeling that if I didn't scream I was going to hurt somone!"
"Anger Luna, It is a powerful emotion that I know too well," Harry spoke as he looked away.
"I'm losing my mind. Every day it's geting harder. I'm too happy, I'm too sad, too angry! I wish I was back to being Little Loony Luna. Now I am a Loony!" Luna cried.
"Luna look at me" Harry said determined. "You are not a Loony, you are Luna. You are the most amazing and wonderful person I know. Your feelings are a part of life, the best part of life. I now they can be hard to handle but please don't runaway from them. What about the good feelings."
Luna spoke bitterly, "You mean like Love? Happiness? That's all well and good until it's inevitabbly taken from me."
Luna looked up into Harry's eyes and he could see the fear in them as she spoke "We're going to die aren't we..."
Harry looked back at Luna for a second before looking up at the moon. "I don't know, but when has that ever stopped me. Luna what you do is up to you. What do you want to do."
Luna followed Harry's gaze until she saw it too. "I want to run away. I want to go to the moon where no one will find us. I want to never have to see or here about another person again...that isn't you. I want to escape!"
Then Luna smiled as she took Harry's hand. Harry felt his feat leave the ground as they rose to the skys.
Their eyes never seprated as they flew above the trees. They forgot about Magic, squibs, bigots, hopes, dreams, nightmares and violence. Why, they even forgot about the moon.

He didn't know how long they flew like this before they landed on a beautiful hill. The moon seemed bigger here, almost like magic. "Luna, where are we?"
"Somewhere happy," Luna replied with a hum. She looked off longingly at the moon. She knew she would be better off there, no one to look at her or mock her. Free to be Luna. But...
Luna looked down and saw Harry stairiing a her, not paying the moon any attention. Luna sudenly felt like scolding herself for even thinking about the moon. Curse the moon. The moon was missing the very thing she had been missing her whole life. He was here for her, no matter what. For the first time it dawned on her what Harry was risking by standing by her side. He was willing to risk his life, if not die for her!
Luna ran into Harry's arms caching him by surprise as they tumbled to the ground. "Harry, I'm sorry but I think I lied to you. When I said I loved you on the Astronomy tower, I don't think I meant it. I love now though, More then ever. What I felt that night seems hollow now. I feel..."
Luna drifted off as she contemplated the change she was feeling, "Different."
Harry understood. "What were you thinking just now...before you attacked me?"
Lunsa giggled, "I realized how much you where risking to stand by me through all this. You would die for me wouldn't you."
Harry nodded as Luna kissed his cheek. "I would too, for you. I'm not going anywhere with out you. I would follow you through the veil if I had to..."
Luna felt goosebumbs run through her as she snuggled closer to Harry. "No, Now I love you Harry."
Harry smiled warmly but there was something off. Harry looked back into Luna's eyes and told her what her father said. "It's not the Nargle taking your magic, it's this."
Harry began to explain what he had learned from Luna's father. The more he spoke the more Luna seems to relax. "That is definitely most curious Harry."
"What are you going to do Luna?"
"I'm going to look at my mothers notes and go from there. I'm not going to exceept this information my father told you without proof. I will not choose between my magic and my love."
They sat in silence for a while before Harry spoke "You've changed you know, your not the same girl I met on the Hogwarts express three years ago. Your not even the same girl I found on top of the train."
"You have changed to Harry, You have become far more happy and comfortable. You even teach DADA with a playful swagger I find most amusing." Luna hummed.
"I never really noticed, I guees It's because I don't have the weight of being the chosen one anymore. I can finally just be Harry."
"That's just the thing, I remember the exact moment you changed." Luna spoke as she turn to Harry. "At the end of the battle when you faced down Mr. Riddle."
Luna saw a hint of recongition in his eyes as she pressed on. "One moment everyone thought you where dead, The next you where standing in the middle of the Great hall staring down Voldemort. I reconized it right away, you were confident, no you where more, you were certain. You already knew you where going to win. You where taunting him, calling him Tom. I found it quit amusing seeing Mr, Riddle get so worked up. You had a bounce to your step that most would miss. You just had a huge weight lifted from your shoulders."
Harry couldn't help but stare into Luna's all seeing eyes. How much did she know? Luna answered his unasked question when she lifted her finger to his scar. She traced the scar, not taking her eyes off his own as she spoke. "People know the scar faded with the death of Mr. Riddle, but I saw it during that stand off. It had already faded. Harry?"
Luna took a step closer "What happenned in the forrest? How did you survive Mr. Riddle? Did it by any chance, banish the Horcrux in your scar?"
Harry's eyes whidended in shock. Other then Ron, Hermione and a couple of members of the Order, no one knew the secret of Harry's scar. As far as Harry was concerned it was already way more then enough. "How long have you known?"
"About two point five seconds ago when you just asked me. "How long have I known," Luna hummed without any humor.
Harry could help but smile at this though it was short lived as he spoke. "I found out during the battle. I found out the only way to destroy the Horcrux in my scar...never mind. I shouldn't have been surprised. I was always treated like a freak by my family and pears, I guess they where all right."
"Freak?" Luna repeated her voice hinting at the anger she had shown earlier. "You're not a freak Harry, who ever told you that?"
"The Dursley's, it was there nick name for me and other wizards, but mainly just me." Harry replied coldly. He saw the opposite look in Luna's eyes, fire.
"Thank you Harry, for helping me make my decision. This has to stop, This hate has to end. I'm used to it happening to me but not the people I love. If I hear anyone call you a freak again I'll kill them, that includes you, Harry!" Luna hissed as her mind focused.
"Pansy will not have died in vain, neither will the fly lady. I wanted to try and prevent voilence and war, but Gandi was wrong. People are dying and will continue to die as long as I continue to fight this hate. I don't want to hurt anyone, but if they want a war, I will fight back! As long as there is magic in me I will fight them."
"Luna?"
"No, don't Luna me! Your not the "Magic Squib," Your not the Loony, I am the freak here! You should never have to know what it's like to be.."
"I'm the Boy Who Lived, The Chosen One, The only person to ever survive a killing curse, twice actually. I even have a scar on my forhead that until recently, hosted a peice of Voldemort's soul!" Harry yelled exasperated.
Luna stared for a moment before laughter over took her. Soon Harry was joining her as the ridiculous nature of the argument hit them.
"Harry, you know what? I think we are both freaks," Luna gigled. "I think we are ment for eachover."
"Not freaks Luna, Individuals." Harry corrected her.
"No Harry, Freaks! Freaks and Proud!" Luna shouted triumphantly, not unlike the Weasely twins.
Harry couldn't help but laugh as he pulled Luna into an embrace. "What would I do without you."
"Judging by how you've done without me in the past, pretty well. You do seem far happier now." Luna answered honestly. "I do know where I would be without you. You saved my life today...thank you Harry."
Luna gave him a tender kiss before she whispered. "Lets go home."
Harry simply nodded as they flew back to the Castle. They aproached the Hospital wing but Luna shook her head. Harry noticed Luna leaning against him weakly as they walked, her eyes half open as a yawn passed her lips. "I've never done that before...not in years."
Harry understood what was happening before Luna did. He didn't protest when Luna followed him through his office and into his private chambers. Soon they where cuddled in the bed as Luna struggled to keep her eyes open.
"Harry," Luna whispered softly. "Why me? I'm nothing special, but you say you love me."
"Your the first person I ever loved. I never understood love so both my ex girl friends where pretty, but both relationships ended badly. I later realialized I never really knew Ginny. Hell I didn't know Cho at all.
"How much do you know about me?" Luna asked softly.
"I feel that I know more about you then anyone, but I don't know you at all. You're a mystery, a puzzle. You never cease to surprise me. I just want to learn more about you and try to answer the riddle I hope I never solve." Harry whispered.
Luna nodded."Who is Luna Lovegood? If you want to know you could just ask."
Harry chuckled lightly as he did just that. "Who are you Luna Lovegood?"
Luna opened her mouth to reply but nothing came out. A minute later Luna barley even whispered. "I don't know, I don't know who I am...Who am I?"'
Luna pondered the meanng of her question. She was changing every day and she knew that one day she just might have her answer, not the whole answer but enough. "Who am I..."
Then it happenned. As Luna's closed her eyes, she felt her consciousness slip away. She had lost consciousness before, from being stunned and more recently poisoned, but this was different.
For the first time in eight long years, Luna finally fell into sleep.

The bridge between too worlds shall be born on lovers night

The spark to change the world shall be born when love is right

The spark shall spread to the moon then it shall ignite

It shall be fostered by the dead who shall rise on the devils night

Only in death will these words of hope be broken

Only in life will dreams of love be awoken

Only through sacrifice shall the gift ever be given

Only through death shall life be forgiven

The bridge beween too worlds shall be born on lovers night

The spark to change the world shall be born when love is right
Luna watched her father finish giving the Prophecy to Harry and Mr. Flitwick. Harry was the first to reply. "You said you've been keeping things from her...Luna wasn't born on the 13th was she."
Her father sighed. "Pandora and I thought it best to move her birthday back by one day. In truth Luna, like her Mother, was born on Valentines day."
He continued. "Pandora wanted people to beleive she was the only who could fufill the prophecy in order to protect Luna, I agreed of cource. Pandora's name means gift, Pandora was already working on her project when she spoke the prophecy. She was already planning on fufilling it."
"Only through sacrifice shall the gift be given," Harry repeated. "Are you telling me Pandora sacrificed herself in order to give her daughter magic.?"
"Not in that sense, though I assume that the result of her giving magic to Luna caused her death in some way. I do not have the answers to this question, do you Filius?"
Filius nodded "Of cource I do, but sadly the unbreakable vow..."
Harry interrupted, "In the new Prophecy there was a Moon Mother and Child. I understand it means Pandora and Luna. What I don't get is the Earth Father and Mother.
"Not even I know that Harry," Flitwick spoke. "But I fear they will be a true threat."
"The past shall reprise as another shall demise. I don't like the sound of that." Xenophilius said worried. " I don't think these premonitions leave any doubt. If Luna continues her mother's work, people our going to die.
"But I don't want to hurt anyone," Luna spoke to the people who before now had ignored her.
Her father turned to her and spoke serouisly. ""People have already died and more shall die as well. You must first try to stay alive. Who tried to kill you Loony."
"I don't know?" Luna admitted.
"Yes you do, "Those who do not remember the past our doomed to repeat it." Filuis stated.
"It could have been anyone. I'm the most hated witch in the world" Luna cried in frustration.
"You are assuming to much Luna, think motive's," Harry whispered. "Don't ask why someone would want to kill a loony. Ask why someone would want to kill you Luna. Why do people kill each over. Intentions are not always what they seem. Remember those who love you."

Oh and one more thing before you wake up

No matter what anyone tell's you

It was Not Madam Rose...

"...merta, Luna wake up we have to get to the Three Broomstick's Inn." Harry said as quietly as he could. Luna popped up immediatly as if she never slept.
"They found out who did it, Madam Rosemerta!" Harry exlaimed excited they found out the culprit already.
"No Harry, The nargles told me she is innocent. They told me this has nothing to do with being a squib. This is personal!"
