How should I start the letter? I know

Dear mum and dad

I was wondering when I was going to see you again. I have pretty big news and I kind of want to get it out the way with. I'm so worried at how you're going to react. Don't worry, I'm not in danger I promise. Yes Fred, George, Ron and Ginny have been looking out for me. We've been looking out for each other really. Anyways, just let me know how soon i can see you, and don't tell the rest. At least not yet. You deserve to know first. well technically second since I've already told my best friend. Please don't hate me or be too disappointed. This isn't bad news I hope. Just remember that I'll always love you guys

Love Phoenix xx

I sealed the note back up waiting for another chance to go to the owlery. I haven't had another chance so far but I guess I should wait till later. In the mean time, it's classes and I'm on my way.
Fred-hey what class you got now?
Me-umm, DADA I think
George-you're in the same class as Ron, good luck sis
Me-thanks guys
Fred-bye
Me-wait, where are you two going?
George-free period
Me-lucky
Fred-catch ya later
I trudge up to the classroom and have a seat right at the back. I really don't like this lesson as we have to share it with Slytherins. Ravenclaws are lucky. I take a seat at the back, thankfully our fears are next lesson so that gives me enough time to prepare. Still, we have to do an essay and I really wish it was the end of the lesson. I see Ron, Harry and Hermione walk in late. That's unusual for Hermione cos she's usually the first to arrive and the last to leave. Ron and Harry take a seat next to each other as Hermione pulls out a seat next to me. I write all the notes down and walk out of class. The envelope is in my hand as I'm about to go to the owlery. I take deep breaths but nothing seems to calm me down. It feels like everyone knows, everyone staring at me, but I know it's just my imagination as they are people in the background minding their own business. I see Luna run towards me and hug me.
Me-Luna, I cant breathe.
Luna-Phoenix!!
That's the last thing I hear before all my surroundings fade into mere darkness.

Luna's POV

I rush up to Phoenix as I see her just coming out of her last lesson. Something wasn't right with her, she looked out of it like she was in a daze. I see her falling and I catch her before she drops to the floor. I pick her up rushing her to the hospital wing. Something about this whole situation has made me realize how important she is to me, as more than a friend. I don't know what I'd do if something bad happened to her. I felt the urge to protect her all the time, but I don't get it. She's not a possession. That's when I come to the realisation that I may be slowly falling for my best friend. "Urr" is all I heard as I seen her hand move for the first time. I had informed her brothers and sister and they were all here with me very worried for their sister, all's good though as she is awakening.

Normal POV

I slowly felt this huge headache and the first thing i saw was a blast of white.
"Phoenix!" A voice exclaimed. I looked towards where the voices. I looked to see Luna, Fred, George, Ginny, Ron, Harry, Hermione and Neville. I smiled as I realised  that it was my friends and family.
Fred-Phoe, what happened?
I heard Fred question softly.
Me-Luna where's the letter
Luna-relax, I have it cos I already know what's in it.
Me-thanks it means a lot to me Luna, I don't think I'm ready to tell them yet though
Luna-too bad I'm going
Me-LUNA NOO!!
Fred-uh what...
George-is going on here
Me+Luna-Nothing
Luna runs out the room and everyone stays with me. I guess I have no choice, the truth is going to come out now.
Ginny-what happened anyways Phoe?
Madame Pomfrey comes back into the room to see me awake as she gives me this horrible tasting medicine, but I guess it has to be done. I take it as Madame Pomfrey explains to everyone that I was stressed and had a panic attack.
Harry-what have you got to be stressed about?
Me-I'm not ready to talk about it yet
Fred-are you in any kind of danger?
Me-no, I'm fine
Neville-we're here for you
Me-thank you guys, but really I'm fine.
I start tearing up at the fact that they would do anything for me but this is the one thing I can't do. Madame Pomfrey released me from the hospital and I decided to meet up with Luna. She gave me a letter from my parents and I hugged her and thanked her. I guess the truth is I was scared and without Luna I wouldn't have received this letter. I opened the letter and it read

Dear Phoenix

I am glad you and your siblings are looking out for each other. I'm also glad your friends are looking out for you. It just so happens we were going to Diagon Alley tomorrow but I have informed Professor Dumbledore that you shall be absent for a personal matter. When he asked about the others, I told him it was news you need to give me. After all it is better to be truthful, however this doesn't give you the right to come out of school young lady. It isn't a chance to skip off school. When me and your father received your letter we were very worried and wanted to talk soon as possible. Also why would we hate you. We never could you're our daughter and no matter how tough the times are, we are never going to turn our back on family, especially ones who need it the most. We hope you are ok and we can't wait to see you tomorrow.
Lots of love

I finished reading the letter and tears fell. Luna entered my dorm and I showed her the letter. "Don't worry about it your parents will support you and if they don't you've always got me.

We went to bed as Luna camped out in my room with Hermione and Ginny. They didn't mind though, we are all friends here. I couldn't wait for tomorrow but I was also nervous for tomorrow. Well I guess we'll wait and see.
