The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Sixty-Eight

I walk around getting lost in the crowd of students looking anywhere for a familiar face, I feel a tug on my hoodie stopping me from walking I fall to the ground.

I look up seeing Ron and Hermione in front of me, "you're with Harry, he's going to the Ravenclaw room follow him."

I nod getting up and dusting off my clothes, running up the stairs while going up the stairway to the common room I see Luna she's shouting out Harry's name.

"Harry Potter! You listen to me right now!"

He stops in his tracks; I stand next to Luna. "Don't you remember what Cho said about Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem? There's not a person alive who's seen it. It's obvious, isn't it? We have to talk to someone who's dead."

Harry accepts Luna's offer she soon leads both of us, to where she will be. I already know where she is leading us, we're going to go see Helena.

"Harry?" He hums in response I play with fingers looking at my feet, "how do you feel about us having kids?" I ask he doesn't say anything I just know he is rolling his eyes.

"Athena, we are in the middle of a war. And you stop to ask me some stupid question." I frown looking at him, "I'm sorry... I was just wondering."

He can see that I am visibly sad and sighs, "no I'm sorry. You were just curious... kids are great, but I don't think I want one right now. And besides, we have to get married first."

I laugh lacing my hands with his.

Luna stares at me her eyes studying me, but I don't know why.

Once we reach Harry chooses to go in alone Luna and I wait out there for him, "I hope it's a girl." Luna says out of nowhere, "huh?" I ask confused not understanding what she means, well I do I just don't want to.

"Don't act stupid stars, you are glowing with it."

"How did you figure out?"

"The cottage, you couldn't keep anything down. And the symptoms just matched up."

I start to tear up crying quietly into my hand, Luna staring at me. "Oh, stars don't cry. It'll be okay the war will end, and you will raise a beautiful baby girl."

She tells me while smoothing out my hair, but deep down I know I don't want that baby girl... or any baby in general.

Harry comes back out grasping onto my hand, "thank you, Luna. But I will be taking her now."

Luna waves us goodbye while we run back down the steps, many people running and screaming. We get to the main staircase Harry spots Ginny and Neville.

"Ginny. Neville. Are you all, right?"

"Never better. I feel like I could spitfire. You haven't seen Luna, have you?"

"Luna?" Harry asks, I smile already knowing what's going to happen.

"I'm mad for her! I think it's about time I told her since we'll probably both be dead by dawn."

I shake my head after all those times I tried to get them together. Neville has run off while Ginny has too, Harry holds me tighter as we run down more steps and by the room of requirements.

As we're running the ceiling falls in on us, Harry pushing me further, so I don't get hit with anything.

He stands there and closes his eyes thinking, all I can think about is if I'm going to survive.

We both enter, I guess this is where the Horcrux is. It's filled to the brim of trash I don't know how we will find anything in here.

He tells me to keep watch by the door, while he goes off now searching for the Horcrux. I stand there swaying back and forth I hear sudden movement from the door turning to face it.
