Dark Repercussions

Chapter 08

Running back to the tower in the morning, he threw his stuff in his truck securing it with all his passwords and jumped in the shower, thanking Neville for his snake sitting skills he hurried down to catch the last of breakfast. Today he was wearing dark green skinny jeans, white top and grey shoes under a casual robe and cloak, as soon as he stepped over to the table he was ambushed by Ron, Hermione and Ginny 'I wondered when she was going to make her move' Harry thought grimly.

"Oh Harry we were so worried about you, with the Sang Lys attack." Ginny simpered in a nasally voice, Harry just held in a grimaced instead he looked shocked.

"Sang Lys attack! What? when? where?" The three of them looked at him as if he was insane.

"Last night, here in the castle! Where the hell have you been mate?" Ron exclaimed.

"RoR again, if you ask it just right you can have anything. I decided I wanted to relax by the pool last night so that's what I did, I made sure I couldn't be disturbed and I woke up late that's why I just got here." Harry told them, Ginny rubbed his thigh.

"Don't worry Harry." She tried to purr in to his ear with her hand getting higher, try being the correct word as it merely sounded as if she had a cold.

"Uh Gin what are you doing?" Harry asked uneasily. If she didn't remove herself from him in the next 5 seconds he was going to vomit and/or curse her, neither was recommended in the middle of the great hall.

"Don't worry no one can see."

"Uh yeah I can't do this, I'm sorta seeing someone." Harry said pushing her hand away, he made a note to talk to Luna to back his story.

"What!" Came his three shocked replies, they didn't bother to keep their voices down either and he bit back a glare.

"Who," Gin demanded looking furious, Harry was tempted to tell her to jog on because it wasn't anything to do with her, but it wasn't like him to do something like that so he stopped himself. Harry looked up to see Luna walking over.

"Who what, Ginny," Luna asked as she sat down on Harry's lap much to the boys amusement, automatically his arms went up to circle her waist and his hand rested high up on her thigh.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, some slut already has her claws in him." Ginny hissed viciously and Luna raised an eyebrow in a very Slytherin gesture Harry internally applauded, this was set to brighten his dreary days in the castle.

"Oh I didn't realize you had such high opinions of me Ginevra." Luna said icily, oh how Harry loved Luna at that point.

"You're seeing him." Hermione shrieked attracting the attention of half the hall, many stopped what they were doing to look around and Harry could have slapped her as whispers broke out when they caught sight of his and Luna's positions.

"Gee thanks Hermione let the hall know." Harry bit out standing up and dropping his toast.

"Sorry just lost my appetite." He strode from the hall pulling Luna with him in the entrance hall, Luna kissed him again and Harry mentally grinned, he could get used to this.

"I only came to say good morning and I get insulted by that gold digging bitch." Luna said all traces of her usual dreamy self gone, Harry knew she put most of it on and it was around a select few that she was completely herself.

People tended to forget that Luna was sorted in to Ravenclaw because of her dreamy persona, he had always seen through it though and when he asked her why she did it he had remembered her blank shock, it was quite amusing. She hadn't thought anyone would ever see the real her, she had built it up because many picked on her for her father's paper and it was easier to act crazy and have people avoid her than deal with all of the taunts and jeers, and so she created Loony. Luna never would have guessed someone would approach her without hate because that was all she had known since she had arrived in the castle, but Harry did and that was how they had become so close, Neville was thrown in because the other Gryffindor had stuck with Luna even with her crazy mask and when he didn't leave she slowly started to bleed it away.
