Sacrifices, Harry Potter Year 5

10. Luna Lovegood

Lilly's POV
I woke up an hour early and sent my trunks to my room at Hogwarts. Sirius and I talked a bit about things and I said, "I better go, Fred and George are about to knock Ginny down two flights of stairs because they don't want to carry them. I swear, they are equivalent to you and James when you were their age."
He chuckled and said, "They are rather ambitious."
I laughed and mended Ginny while Mrs. Weasley was yelling at them. The boys came down and Harry was going to be escorted by a guard, Tonks and I were handling that job and Sirius came along. We got to the station after going on foot and I hugged Sirius and scratched his head whispering, "Behave, please. I love you Sirius." He liked my face and I went on the train to the Prefect compartment. I was the first one there. I sent one of myself with Harry and Ginny and I found Neville, I said, "Sorry I haven't been able to visit, been busy with the Ministry." He hugged me and I guided them to the compartment. We sat with Luna Lovegood. Neville showed Harry his gift from his great-uncle Algie, a Mimbulus Mumbletonia. Cho stopped by and said hi to Harry, I smiled. Harry was rather disappointed at the situation she caught him in. Harry wanted to appear cool to Cho, I whispered to Harry, "Harry, if she likes you for the real you, not the cool boy you portray, then she's good. It's not a big deal. I mean, yes her and Cedric broke up, but I mean if she doesn't want to sit near the people you care about then she doesn't deserve your attention."
He looked at me curiously and whispered, "Her and Cedric broke up!" I narrowed my eyes and said bluntly, "Out of all of that, you just got that they broke up! Ugh, anyway yes, they broke up because Cedric is doing a lot of stuff and it's too hard with distance and stuff like that..." I grumbled to myself, "Geez, is a girl the only thing on a guy's mind?"
Neville whispered in my ear, "I have only one thing on my mind... You..." I giggled and said, "Now that's allowed..."
He put his arm around me and I snuggled up to him while I created a cage for Trevor to sit in so he won't escape. Hermionie and Ron came in. I made this room a bit bigger on the inside to fit eight people and Ron sat on the other side of Harry and Hermione sat across from us. They told Harry the Prefects for this year. Draco and Pansy from Slytherin, Ernie MacMillan and Hannah Abbott from Hufflepuff, and Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil from Ravenclaw. Ron was going to abuse his power like Malfoy and I said, "You do know I am allowed to take the badge and position away with abuse of power?"
He stopped laughing and mumbled looking away from me, "Geez, take the micky out of me then!"
I snapped back, "I heard that!" We laughed and Harry read a part of the Quibbler and I read that magazine, I was subscribed. Ron asked if anything was good and I said, "There is always something good, I love the articles, I'm actually subscribed!" Hermione disagreed and Luna said her father was the editor, I said to Luna, "I'm glad your dad allowed the article on Cornelius, it was quite informative!" She smiled at me and sent a glare to Hermione. Malfoy appeared and made jokes to Harry and Ron and I finally stood up and said, "Hey Draco, you do realize the badge can be taken if power is abused. I have the authority, so I would be careful, any punishment given from you is heard by me and if they deemed unreasonable for any reason, your badge will be revoked! Understood?" He grumbled a yes and I said, "Perfect, now, if you will, please continue to patrol the corridor with extreme caution..." He left with a dirty look on his face. I plopped back down next to Neville and he was smiling at me. I looked up at him and asked, "What?"
He replied, "Nothing, you're just amazing..."
I giggled as he kissed my forehead. Ron gagged and I retorted, "You're just jealous you don't have a girlfriend." His ears turned red and that shut him up. Everyone was just staring out of the window while I was reading a book. Hermione and Ron left and I mumbled, "I better go to Hogwarts, I have to be with Hagrid when the first years arrive." I split myself and sent one to the castle and changed robes.
Neville asked, "Still using your new power, huh?"
I smiled and said, "I have three of me right now. One is working at the Ministry, one with you, and one now with the first years..." Everyone wondered where Hagrid was and saw it was just me doing it this year. Harry saw the horses and I patted their heads and gave them some food. Harry thought he was going mad and I said, "Don't worry, we'll find out about them later on." We went into the carriages and set off to Hogwarts.
