YEAR SEVEN

LUNA'S POV

This is what she's wearing:

"Luna do you have everything packed?"

"Yes dad"

"All of your books?"

"Yes"

"Clothes?"

"Yes"

"All of your-"

"Dad I packed everything I need okay? You don't need to worry" my dad nodded and walked over to the kettle which was boiling; when he went to pour the water into two cups I noticed that his hands were shaking; he was spilling hot water everywhere.

"Dad are you okay?" he slammed the kettle down beside him and I jumped; stepping back. He turned and that's when I noticed how crazy his eyes looked; his hair was dishevelled and he seemed to be sweating.

"I'm fine Luna it's just...trouble at work lately that's all" I quirked a brow; I knew he wasn't telling me everything but I didn't want to push it.

"It'll be fine dad; if they don't like you writing about Harry that's their problem" he shook his head,

"It's different times now Luna; with them taking over the Ministry I'm not sure what's going to happen to the Quibbler" I frowned; I've never seen my father this upset before.

"It's going to be fine dad" I smiled and he returned it; though it didn't reach his eyes. I'm not sure what he wasn't telling me but it seemed to be bugging him a lot.

I looked at the time and saw that it was 10:50; I needed to get to the train before it left.

"Dad I need to go; the express is going to leave in 10 minutes" he too looked at the time and nodded; but it took him a while to aparate; he kept saying that there was something that I was missing but I sighed; grabbing his hand and giving him a look.

"It's time to go dad; if I do forget something then mail it to me" he sighs but nods and we aparated away; I'm still not used to the feeling of aparating; I get dizzy very easily; I'm not sure if I'm going to learn how to aparate just because it made me so nauseous.

"Okay we're here" I opened my eyes and saw the train in front of me; though there were even less kids than last year. I guess a lot of people felt safe with Dumbledore but now that he's gone there's less people who feel Hogwarts is safe.

"Okay dad I better board the train before it leaves" I hand my stuff over to one of the workers who stuffed my bag in with the rest of them and closing the door. I turned to my dad and before I could even process what was happening I was pulled into a hug by him; and he was squeezing me pretty tight.

"Dad what's wrong?" I felt him hug me tighter before answering,

"They're angry at me" I furrowed my brows,

"Who?"

"Them. They're angry at what I've been writing about Potter"

"Well don't worry about it dad; if it becomes too much than go into hiding for the time being-"

"-It's you who I'm worried about Luna; you're all I have" I broke apart from the hug and smiled up at my dad,

"I'll be fine dad; look at where I'm going? I'll be safe" he sighed but nodded; giving me a smile.

"I'll miss you" I said; trying to change the topic,

"I'll miss you too Luna" he gave me one last hug before the warning whistle was made; I needed to go now. I got on the train and waved goodbye to my dad; I walked further down the hall while trying to find a compartment.

"Luna!" I looked over and smiled; hugging Cho.

"Cho! How was your summer?" she shrugged and didn't reply; it must've been bad; I don't think anyone really enjoyed their summer this year.

"Have you found a compartment?" she nodded,

"Yes but...Neville's in it" I stopped walking and looked at her,

"They were the only people who I could find; Harry, Hermione and Ron aren't anywhere; I can't find them and I'm beginning to get worried" I wrapped my arm around her shoulder,

"It's fine Cho; I understand that it's probably better for us to stick with people that we know" she nodded as we stopped in front of a compartment that had Ginny, Seamus, Dean and Neville inside. We opened the door and stepped inside; shutting it behind us. It was very awkward because I could feel Neville staring at me; but I ignored him and sat down beside Ginny; Cho to my right.

"Hello Luna" Ginny said; smiling at me. I smiled back but didn't reply; I already knew this was going to be the longest train ride. I felt Cho grab my hand and I squeezed it; I knew she was worried about Harry. She hasn't seen him all summer and now when we come back to school he isn't here? Something isn't right, especially since the three of them were gone; just what were they up too?

"How was your summer?" I looked up at Seamus who was looking at me,

"Okay" I replied; shrugging my shoulders and looking out the window. It definitely was a weird summer; as soon as I got home my dad wouldn't leave my side; he even brought my bed into his bedroom and I had to sleep there.

"My dad has been acting weird" I looked at Cho,

"Has he?" I nodded,

"He wouldn't leave my side; he even brought my bed into his room so that we weren't ever a part. And today he kept making excuses and I almost missed the train; I'm not sure what exactly is on his mind but it's been bugging him all summer. It has something to do with me and the Quibbler; apparently they aren't too happy with what Father has been writing about Harry"

"They?" I rolled my eyes at Neville,

"You know who I'm talking about" I replied; I didn't really want to say their names; I wasn't sure why.

"Well maybe your dad is worried that something is going to happen to you" I was about to reply but sudden commotion cut me off; we looked toward the door and then at one another. I got up at the same time as Neville and Cho as the three of us made our way towards the door; Neville grabbed the latch and opened it; looking down the hall we could see two people in black robes; going through everyone's compartment; Death Eaters.

"Hey losers!" Neville yelled; catching their attention. I tried pulling him away but they had already turned in our direction; Neville you idiot!

"He's not here" was he talking about Harry? Why were they looking for Harry? Cho and I shared a look; we were happy that Harry wasn't here right now.

"We're not here for Potter" the scruffier one replied; his voice was muffled; deeper than I thought it would be. Neville raised his brow and the two Death Eaters pulled their wands out,

"We're looking for Lovegood; Luna Lovegood" my eyes widened as I stepped back; grabbing onto Cho's hand.

"Why would we tell you where she is?" Neville asked; trying to pretend that I wasn't right behind him. But, they seemed to already see my reaction as the two of them smirked.

"No need; I think we already found her" they aparated away and we looked around; taking our wands out. Before I could I felt someone grab me by my shoulders; ripping me out of Cho's grasp. I let out a scream as I grabbed the man's arm; trying to force it off of me but he was too strong. By now people came out of their compartments and watched the scene unfold; Neville, Seamus, Dean, Ginny and Cho had their wands drawn and pointed them at the two death eaters.

"What do you want with Luna?" Dean asked; I was still trying to get out of the man's grip but he just tightened it which made me wince in pain.

"The Dark Lord doesn't like what her father has been writing in the papers" they replied; I let out one final scream before I was aparated away; the last thing I saw were my friends panicked faces as they tried to grab me before it was too late.

But I was already gone.
