Stupid Wrackspurts - Narry

I.

The first time they met they didn't quite like each other. They shared a compartment in the Hogwarts Express in their first year. It was them two and three other boys.

The curly haired one and the other three were talking while the blonde one just listened quietly.

"What are you reading?" The curly haired one asked the blonde.

"The Quibbler" he answered.

"There are people who actually buy that?" The boy joked, and the rest laughed.

"What's you're name?" Another boy asked.

"Niall" the blonde boy answered "Niall Lovegood"

"You're Luna Lovegood's son?" The curly asked.

"Yes, I am" Niall answered.

All of the boys laughed but he ignored them.

"I'm Harry, Harry Longbottom"

"Your father is Professor Longbottom?" One of the other boys asked.

"Yeah, he is" Harry said proudly.

Later that night, at the Start-of-Term Feast, the sorting hat decided to place Harry in Gryffindor and Niall in Ravenclaw

That year they did't talk to each other much more.

II.

In their second year they met again in the train to Hogwarts. Niall was looking directly at him, he had some weird glasses Harry recognized as Spectrespecs.

"What are you looking at?" Harry asked.

"Wrackspurts" Niall answered softly. "Mom let me her Spectrespecs so I could see them. You have some of them in your head"

Harry thought that the boy was weird and that he would try not to be around him.

III.

He couldn't stay away from him, though. 

It was in their third year where Harry saw Niall sitting at the end of the stairs, he looked sad, which was weird because Niall was never sad.

"Hey" Harry said. Niall looked up. "Can I take a seat?" Niall simply nodded and Harry sat beside him. He wasn't quite sure why he was doing this, but he just felt the need.

"Are you okay?" Harry spoke again.

"Yeah, I'm fine" Niall said trying to smile.

They stayed in silence, Harry didn't know what to say.

"You look sad" He finally said.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll be fine" Niall said sweetly.

"But you're never sad, what happened?" Harry insisted.

"People say things about my mom, they call her Lunatic, and they laugh at me" Niall admitted "Mom told me it could happened, it happened to her, but she's stronger and smarter than me"

"I think you're really smart" Harry said without thinking, and Niall smiled sweetly at him. "You're mom is a great person, I don't know her but she was in the Dumbledore's Army with my dad, and she did a lot to save Hogwarts"

"Thank you, Harry" Niall replied holding Harry's hand.

Harry looked down at their hands a blushed.

IV.

In their fourth year Harry remembered Niall's birthday. It was exactly twelve days after the year had started.

When Niall entered his bedroom he saw a small box resting on his bed. He took it in his hands and opened it. There was a note, and it said 'Happy Birthday Niall, it's not too much but I hope you like it.' And once he finished reading this, something came floating from the box, Niall raised his hand and it slowly rested on his palm. It was a necklace featured a crest with a star, sparrows, an eagle and an owl and, in the middle, a heart. Niall kept reading 'The star symbolizes hope, the sparrows symbolizes companionships, the eagle and the owl are both a symbolic of protection, and the heart is a symbol of love.'  Niall looked at the necklace and smiled.
