How the Wizard Government Operate:
Wizengamot- The government body of the British Wizard World it was started originally by fifty wizard families there are three levels of membership on the Wizengamot noble members, permanent members, and new members
Noble Members- to become a noble member one or multiple members of the family have done three great deeds and you must be permanent members Wizengamot decides with a vote whether your family member or members has done a great deed or not each noble member gets five votes
Permanent Members- Families must be in wizards or witches in Brittan for at least seven generations and already be new members to be eligible to become permanent members their families have three votes each
New Members- Families who have been witches or wizards for at least three generations in Briton and can afford the initial costs of membership they get one and half votes each
Laws- For a law to be passed it must obtain over 50 percent of the votes in the Wizengamot
Currently there are five members of the noble members, sixty three members of the permanent members, and 75 new members
Electing a Minister- Candidates can be any citizen of who’s a witch or wizard of great Britain in the first round of voting they determine the three Candidates with the most support the second round they determine who becomes the the minister
Ministers Duty’s-appoints the department heads of the ministry to be voted upon by the Wizengamot members he has the right to dismiss any of these department heads at any time except for the DMLE and is the head of the military during war time and can be investigated by DMLE at any time there signatures required for things to be signed into law
Chief Wizengamot- Person who presides over the Wizengamot proceedings and can only cast a vote if there is a tie
Wizengamot political parties- Light, Dark, and Neutral
Current Political Situation on Wizengamot- Up until the last war with Voldemort the neutral party often times held crucial swing votes and any law that needed to be passes had to be approved of by then the main political power of the neutral party used to be the Blacks, Malfoys, and the Potters while the latter two families at least in rhetoric were more dark they tended to vote neutral to retain power. During Voldemort’s first war the heads of the Malfoys, Blacks, and the Potters were killed which effectively destroyed the hundred year old political alliance the Malfoys took their votes to the dark party along with some of the old Black votes due to them all being dead or in Azkaban while the Potter seat is on hiatus until H. Potter comes of age which has made the Dark Party have the upper hand politically for the last fifteen years if not for Dumbledore’s maneuvering the dark party would be completely in power
Dark Magic- is about power being gained for oneself or ones family
Example of Dark Magic: Let’s say a family is going to battle they do a ritual to increase their magical strength temporally over a period of time to achieve this one of the weaker family members may have to give up some of their magical strength for that time making them near a squib for the good of the family
Light Magic- is about do as much good as you can while trying to adhere to some sort of moral principal
Example of Light Magic: Let’s say there is a plague and the only way to beat it is to have a ritual that may require a sacrifice of someone’s life but because it’s for the greater good to stop the plague its deemed acceptable
Example of Magic that can be considered either or- Lily Potter did a ritual that sacrificing herself created a shield that consisted of all her magic formed into a shield that was powerful enough to stop a killing curse it could be considered dark because of the shellfish nature of protecting your own child while it could be considered a greater good sacrifice to stop the greatest wizard that ever lived
Levels of Power for Wizards- 1-3 Squib or near squib; 4-7 Most Wizards; 8-10 Wizards able to become battle or Dread lords or ladies; 11-15 Lord or Lady Level: Voldemorts power 14 Dumbledore’s 12
Battle Lord or Ladies- are chosen by six wizards or witches to always follow into battle; They are usually bonded with a mark and during battle the battle lord can communicate through the bond; However unlike a Lord or Lady Level the Battle Lord or Lady has no control of the members lives, feel their magic, or emotions outside of battle. The mark is used to summon their members to battle
Dread Lord or Ladies- Same as Battle Lord except used for dark families and they are only chosen based on who is the most powerful wizard or witch while the Battle Lord could be chosen by someone with less power but more battle experience
Lord and Lady Bonds- They can be implemented by someone who is not a lord however they must be at least powerful enough to be a Battle or Dread Lord and even someone with a magical strength of ten can only bond three people this way. Where a Lord Level wizard can bond an unlimited number of wizards and witches. The advantages of a Lord or Lady bond are that they can feel the magic and emotion of the bond members at all time and the bond members can feel their lord or lady’s magic it also makes the people in the bond more likely to trust and obey their chosen lord or lady the people in the bond tend to be mentally stable at almost all times when their lord commands them to do something they also get a slight boost in magical powers and their lord or lady feels inclined to protect them as well
Family Alliances- Where two families agree to go to battle together, protecting each other’s families as their own, and to raise each other’s children if they are the last of their line (Tend to be used by light or neutral families)
Family Lordship Bonds- If a family saves another their magic demands payment one of the ways is to create a family alliance another is to become vassals of the family that saved yours or the family could choose to serve that family. For reasons unknown a family can only bond three families this way and as such the family always serves that family unless that family serves another which makes your bond void to that family you are currently serving thereby making you free from your bonds (Tend to be used by Dark or neutral families)
Life Debt- Cannot be incurred among of an immediate family, Family Alliances, Family Lordship Bonds, Battle or Dread Lords, and regular lordship bonds: However to everyone else if applies. Life Debts occur between two individuals when one saves another’s life without thought to an award being given and magic demands some sort of payment for the said deed
Sponsorship bond- Before the pureblood supremacists movement was strong it was common for the Permanent Members of the Wizengamot to choose a promising student and teaching them how to start their own house with all the magic that entails and opening doors for promising jobs within the ministry in exchange when they finally do reach new membership within the Wizengamot they agree to vote with the said family for an x amount of years
The Potter Family Alliance by Moonl337
CHAPTER ONE: THE BEGGINING
A drink with Hagrid that’s all it had taken for a seven year quest to have ended. Remus remembered asking Dumbledore seven years ago on the location of Harry so he could check in on him from time to time. But had been denied no matter how thoroughly he had begged. So like any good marauder after being rejected he had taken matters into his own hands he broke into the ministry’s hall of records by casting on confundus charm on the guard unfortunately Lily, Harry, and James document were charmed so that he couldn’t retain any of the information after reading it. Not knowing what else to do Remus decided that for now he had to let things be. Than four days ago he received a job from families who were allied with the Potter family they had already exhausted all legal avenues to raise Harry with joint custody along with his aunt so the only thing really left to do was asking him to renew his investigation by interviewing people who were close to Dumbledore for clues. A drinking night with Hagrid and Remus had his answer Number 4 Privet Drive. As Lupin apparted to the street he immediately came to the conclusion that was something definitely unnerving about the place it was all to picture perfect the houses pretty much looked the same and all the neighbors who smiled at you were deeply fake. Taking a deep breath Remus decided upon a course of action the Potter’s allies wanted to meet him no matter what and Dumbledore couldn’t know otherwise he would undoubtedly stop it. Remus guessed that Harry could only go so far away from the wards without them activating so there best bet was to meet Harry and his Aunt in a local restaurant within the area. This could be arranged tomorrow at the earliest first though he had to see Harry. It was four am so Remus cast a delusionment and a silencing charm. Remus came upon number 4 privet drive casting a silent alohamora on the door and used his werewolf senses to find Harry’s room his nose led him to a cupboard under the stairs where his advanced hearing heard shallow breathing and his advanced smell smelt dried blood. Anger and disgust rose through him. They had hurt the last family member then took a deep calming breath and screwing every plan that he just had made he unlocked the door by ripping it open almost tearing down the door in the process. As of the day before a now seven year old Harry Potter was sleeping in appearance he looked like he was five, his breathing was shallow, his black hair scattered around his head, and his baggy clothes had spots of blood on them Remus thought they were more suited to a garbage bin then on a child. Noticing that Harry’s green eyes were slowly opening cast a sleepy charm and a couple pain easing charms on the ribs his breathing became easier then sweeping Harry into his arms and swearing a marauders revenge he closed the cupboard door and relocked it. After he exited Privet Drive he checked Harry for a tracking charm and apparted to the Lovegood family.
Xenophiliusphilius Lovegood and his daughter Luna were up early watching the sunset and the warkspots that came with it. There peace was disrupted when Remus apparted in with a sleeping Harry Potter. Xenophilius turned around quickly took one look at Harry and said, “Please take Harry to the guest bedroom Remus Luna gather your mom’s medical supply. I’ll make some floo-calls judging from his appearance your holding Harry and the alliances members will definitely need to know and Lady Greengrass is the best healer I know of.” Luna and Lupin dispersed on their assigned tasks and Xenophilius felt a sadness overtake him. For three hundred years the Lovegood and the Potters had been allies ever since Jacklyn Potter had come to their aid when Dark Lady Patricia had come to the Emerald Forest which their family magic made them a patriarch of to capture the black tailed pixies and destroying the forest. Ever since then they had a family alliance with the Potter family which included taking in their kin if none of the Potter family was of age or alive. They would also come to each other’s aide if called upon. He knew that the other three family’s that were allied to the Potter family the Greengrass, Moons, and Longbottoms had similar arrangements. In hindsight it seemed they should have taken the direct route instead of the legal one hopefully Harry wouldn’t take it out on their families by annulling their alliances. For the next hour Xenophilius fire called the various families starting with the Greengrass family due to the medical nature of Harry’s problems. Needless to say everyone was extremely angry at Dumbledore and agreed to all meet in three days after Harry had a little time to adjust to everything to see if Harry would accept the agreement they had come up with for Harry’s living arrangement before and during Hogwarts.
Harry awoke the next morning on a very comfortable bed in a spacious room with a medium sized window letting in the sun. Standing on the foot of the bed with lively grey eyes, wavy blond hair, and a disarming smile was Luna Lovegood,
Hesitantly Harry asked, “Is this heaven?”
Tilting her head Luna replied, “No my mummy’s in heaven but I’m pretty sure it’s a nicer place than you were before.”
Then going to Harry’s bedside she picked up a wet rag and put it down upon his forehead and Harry flinched back instinctively. Looking down at Harry Luna gave him a half hug,
“I’ll never hurt you Harry my name’s Luna by the way you seem to be feeling better and the warkspots are leaving your head.”
“Nothing hurting at the moment how do you know my name and I’m not quite sure what a warkspot is.”
Smiling dreamily Luna replied, “There fluffy creatures that float high above the trees and effect the brain making you frightened and scared. They are also rather beautiful.”
Not knowing quite what to say but wanting to be polite, “I’m rather glad they’re going away then.”
Suddenly Xenophilius walked in, “Ah young Harry I’m sure you have a lot of questions about how you ended up here but first you’re at my house and after breakfast Remus and I will answer any questions you have.”
Hearing this Harry got up, “I can make breakfast,” Luna in a forceful but gentle manner pushed him back into bed, “Daddy will take of breakfast I’m going to look you over once more to make sure your all better.”
Harry was confused by the entire situation he was pretty sure Aunt Peatunia would have a fit with strange these people seemed to be however to Harry this place was already way better than the Dursleys ever were and he didn’t want to go back so he decided it was best not to argue, “Your passable Harry and after breakfast maybe we can play together and go on an adventure with Lucy my she’s a wolf that adopted me after we healed her injuries she likes to play with me.”
Harry couldn’t keep himself from smiling at the thought of playing with someone which was something he was never allowed to do and swung himself out of bed, “I’d like that Luna.”
Harry followed her downstairs though Luna skipped down the stairs while Harry went at a brisk walk instead.

Chapter 2 Life at the Lovegoods Explanations, Meetings, and a Friend
Harry gaped openly as he saw the four plates each consisting of two pancakes, a sizable portion of scrambled eggs, and bacon drift into the air and settle on the table,
Stammering Harry asked, “How did that happen?”
Luna turned around smiling, “It’s magic Harry.”
Xenophilius and Remus both nodded, “Sit eat your breakfast we have a lot to discuss.”
Harry meekly nodded and sat down when four forks drifted to each plate Remus looked down at Harry,
“Were going to be imparting a lot of information to you so no questions till were done can you do that.”
Harry nodded, “Yes sir.”
Remus nodded, “None of that sir stuff Remus will be fine first of including yourself were all witches and wizards. Your parents were also magical and we live in secret from the non-magical community and we have our own government. Your father was part of an old family of wizards and witches called the Potters that have been a magical family for nearly seven hundred years while your mother was a first generation witch. Know before we go to the part Mr. Lovegood will explain do you have any quick questions.”
Harry hesitantly asked, “Did my parents really die in a car crash?”
A flash of anger came across Remus face and Harry began to think he had done something wrong when it quickly disappeared,
“No Aunt and Uncle lied to you there was a war and your parents died when the leader of the other side a very bad man named Lord Voldemort came into your home murdering them. It was the last attack of the war and afterwards for reasons unknown he disappeared and no one knows why or if he’s truly dead or alive. Though according to Dumbledore you survived the a killing curse a curse which no one else survived before the only evidence it left behind was that scar it also makes you famous in the wizarding world.”
Harry wasn’t sure what to say, “I’m just Harry I’m nothing special.”
Xenophilius nodded grimly, “Now Harry onto how and why you are here. The short answer is that Dumbledore place you with your aunt and uncle. Though your father’s side of the family’s had family alliances with four magical families these family alliances come about when a family has been helped in some great way or two family heads determined it to be in the best interest for both families. For instance three hundred years ago due to your family’s intervention my family was saved. While the Moons alliance with your family comes from the fact they saved yours. Anyway typically the terms are beneficiary and one of those terms for all the families that have alliances with your family is that if the only surviving members are not of age they take them in. For the last seven years we have tried every legal means conceivable to get joint custody of you. This failed because Albus Dumbledore is the most powerful political figure in Briton. So we decided upon a different approach that where Remus a good friend of your father comes in we hired him to find you so we could at the very least arrange a meeting but after seeing your appalling conditions we decided to take immediate action.”
Suddenly Luna interrupted, “Can Harry and I play know daddy.”
Xenophilius nodded, “I suppose that enough information for now.”
Harry proceeded to finish his last pancake and followed Luna outside. The Lovegood lands consisted of the manor which sat in a large glen, a forest that stretched out on all sides, various cobblestone paths, and a babbling brook that flowed through the forest. Harry took it all in and was about to follow Luna when he hesitated noticing this Luna asked,
“What’s bothering you Harry?”
“Are you being nice to me because it required?”
Blinking Luna replied, “I just want to be your friend.”
Harry smiled, “I’ve never had a friend before how do you suppose you become a friend?”
Luna skipped over to Harry grabbing his hand, “I’m Luna Lovegood want to be my friend?”
Harry nodded, “I’m Harry and I’d be happy to be your friend.”
Luna smiled, “See know were friends.”
The following three days consisted of swimming, meeting Lucy the wolf, finding the silver pixies, and solidifying of friendship between Luna and Harry. Harry despite being there for just three days never felt happier nor healthier. He could sometime sense where some of the animals were just like Luna could and he could also feel the magic rolling from the forest surrounding him making him feel safe. When he asked Xenophilius why this was during breakfast one day he replied by saying,
“Your family has a connection to this forest just like our family does. Though isn’t as deep considering that only a couple members of your family were born here. Also the fact several of your ancestors died protecting this forest so it returns the favor by protecting you as well.”
Curious Harry asked, “How is the forest alive?”
Smiling Xenophilius replied, “It’s a quite the tale however I only tell it once a year on the anniversary of the date that my family became the patriarchs of the forest. So you’ll have to wait till spring for the answers to that particular question. Know before Lucy and Luna take off without you best get going. Also remember the meeting the adults and children of your allies is tonight.”
Harry nodded and as he was heading out he asked, “Okay by the way where is Remus?”
Xenophilius sagely replied, “Oh he works as a reporter for the Quibbler and he’s writing an article about thestrials.”
Later that Night:
Harry exchanged hugs and shook hands with many people he was sure he was certain he wouldn’t remember the names of. They all sat down on a long table which consisted of twelve people. The meal was full of many delicious foods including roast beef, lamb, pork, squash, beets, and for dessert strawberry rhubarb pie. After everyone was done Valorena Moon stood up,
“Mr. Potter our proposal that we have all agreed to present to you is that for the next four years leading up to Hogwarts we will each house you for one year. Starting with the Lovegoods, the Greengrass family, the Longbottoms, and then lastly my family the Moons. During the summer breaks from Hogwarts we will rotate in a similar way until you are seventeen is that sufficient for you.”
Harry stood up and as he was coached spoke, “Harry heir of House Potter agrees to these terms as fulfillment of the alliances we have agreed upon so mote it be.”
A flash of light surrounded everyone at the table and Harry sat down the night falling into easy conversation once again.
Year at the Lovegood’s Story 2: Werewolf Remus and brother and sister forever
Harry awoke to sunshine streaming through his window it had been about a month since he had arrived. The things Harry was grateful for were too numerous to count they consisted of adventures with Luna, three square meals a day, the feeling of magic emanating from the forest surrounding him with a peaceful protective shroud that was slowly but surely eroding away the hurts and pain the Dursley’s had caused him. Harry grabbed his glasses from his dresser and stared as always with delight upon his room. His bed was surrounded by two windows one to the back the other to the right. To his left a set of new clothes hung in the closet and cramped in small corner sat a small writing desk. After going down the stairs Harry was delighted to see Remus who told the best stories about his dad’s various pranks and school adventures, Luna staring at something unseen, and Xenophilius with a pipe in his mouth and a pen in his hand staring intently at a blank white piece of paper as if willing it to reveal its secrets,
“Good morning everyone,” Harry said brightly
Sitting next to Luna Harry excitedly asked, “So what’s our adventure for today?”
Smiling mischievously Luna whispered in Harrys ears, “While as you know Harry Remus is a werewolf tonight I was going to show you the most peaceful place in the forest where Lucy and Remus our going to spend the night.”
Whispering back Harry asked, “So why are we whispering?”
“Were whispering Harry because Remus doesn’t he’s going to spend the night there yet.”
“So it’s a surprise.”
Wispily Luna responded out loud, “Maybe Remus want to go on an adventure with Harry and I today.”
Evasively Remus responded, “I’m not quite a hundred percent today.”
Luna gave her best puppy dog eyes, “I know tonight’s the monthly wraths get you but until then.”
Harry finished along with Luna, “You must simply join us on an adventure.”
After sighing, giving the puppy dogs eye children a scornful look, and then finally a pretended annoyance Remus agreed to their proposal,
“Fine but we have to get back early afternoon at the latest.”
Letting a triumphant roar the two eight year olds jumped up and down excitedly. Then Luna gave Harry a quick but forceful hug,
“There is your Luna hug for the day Harry.”
Smiling Harry simply replied, “Thank you Luna.”
Ever since Harry arrived Luna insisted on hugging Harry at least once a day. In Harry’s estimation he usually ended up with about three. Following Luna outside Harry was immediately knocked over by a silver and white haired wolf who gave Harry two quick licks. Then wagging her tail she snuggled on Luna’s leg. Scratching Lucy’s ear’s Luna said affectionately,
“You just had to share your wolf slobber with Harry didn’t you?”
Getting up Harry said, “Your just encouraging Lucy to keep knocking me over.”
Luna shook her head, “I would never do that Harry oh here’s Remus.”
Where a light t-shirt, grey pant, and carrying walking stick stood Remus he had slight grin on his face,
“Well what are you young kids waiting for were going on an adventure are we not.”
Luna nodded, “Right you are.”
Lucy led as they trekked up many cobblestone paths that wove through the forest. Suddenly Luna and Lucy stopped Luna was beaming with her trademark mischievous smile. Harry’s sixth sense warning of danger immediately rang inside his head telling them they were heading toward a somewhat dangerous creature confirming his thoughts Luna turned around her speaking in wispily tone,
“Our original destination is not far away however the sprites of the forest want us to visit I assume it’s because I haven’t visited them for quite a while.”
Voicing Harry’s thoughts Remus replied, “Sprites our most known playing pranks, biting their victims, and sometimes even taking humans and leaving them up in tree when their fun has ended.”
Hearing this Harry’s eye’s looked around rapidly remembering vividly remembering the silver fairies from two weeks prior when they were done Lucy’s fur was painted yellow while Luna and Harry’s face was painted sky blue. Their adventures sandwiches also mysteriously disappeared since sprites sounded very similar they were on Harry’s avoid list. Not that being on the avoid list did much good Luna had an uncanny ability to make Harry follow her anywhere with just a small smile and a twinkling of her lively grey eyes. Luna petting Lucy interrupted Harry’s thoughts,
“Lucy thinks it’s a good idea and since Harry hasn’t said anything he thinks it’s a good idea too.”
Than giving her trademark dreamy smile she and Lucy went into the forest. Harry and Remus looked at each other and Harry spoke,
“Just for the record my Potter danger sense is going off.”
Remus nodded, “Duly noted know let’s get going I have no interest in losing my bosses daughter.”
Around a half an hour passed before they found what they were looking for. The sprite village as Harry decided to call it consisted of four trees with hundreds of tiny little houses on each branch. There was a big house in the middle of the third tree which six fairies were currently carrying inside using magic globs of honey. Nothing happened for several minutes until the sprites carrying the honey were finished with their task and out of the biggest house came a procession of sprites all carrying wooden swords forming two lines then a younger looking female sprite exited she wore a crown made from violets she also wore a dark green and red dress made from leaves and rosebud.”
Harry noticed at the sight of the queen that Luna’s smile disappeared slightly,
“So Queen Lethrane passed on then.”
The queen sprite nodded solemnly, “Yes and I her eldest daughter know Queen Loraine ask you the patriarch of our forest for a blessing.”
Luna nodded her hands emanating a bright white light and her voice changed from her usual whimsical to a stoic calm,
“I Luna Lovegood patriarch of the emerald forest here by invoke my blessing upon Queen Loraine fourth of her name may her reign be long and filled with many days of peace and great fun to be had by all so mote it be.”
Suddenly a bright white light surrounded Queen Loraine Luna than took a deep breath and feinted into Harry’s outstretched arms,
“Harry can I have some chocolate chip cookies from the adventure bag please.”
Nodding Harry opened the adventure bag handing her the cookies and like some magic switch the sprites turned to their standard boorish behavior,
“Ah,” stated the Queen, “Luna has a boyfriend.”
Giving the Queen one of her more piercing gazes and speaking in one of her more commanding tones,
“Harry is my friend.”
The Queen merely looked amused at this admission raising her hand in the air and hundreds of little wooden swords started swatting him chanting all the while,
“Luna and Harry”
Remus than unleashed a fear some growl like magic the hundred little sprites who were hitting Harry cowered behind their Queen sighing loudly the Queen spoke,
“You should all be ashamed there are fairies with more courage than you lot get the powder.”
To Harry powder sounded really bad,
“Luna I think we have overstayed our welcome I think it’s time to stay goodbye.”
Luna smiled at Harry as white powder erupted all them, “It’s too late Harry they have us know.”
Harry awoke on a sturdy branch on a very tall tree attached by some a sticky substance that Harry assumed was honey,
“I have to say that sprites our wonderful creatures”
Remus responded from the tree next to his,
“I have to agree Harry though not all is entirely lost I finally have an answer to is more of a trouble magnet Sirius black blood or James Potter blood. I can say with a certainty it’s the Potter blood and secondly Lucy has found us which probably means that Luna is not too far behind.”
Lucy was sitting at the bottom of Harry’s tree looking at him with a very curious expression Luna’s voice than rang out,
“Harry Remus you have some sparkly material that glitter’s when the sun hits it I have to say it’s very pretty though it is sad that it will be gone tomorrow.”
Harry spoke in the calmest demeanor he could,
“Not be rude Luna but do you have a way down”
Smiling Luna replied, “You’re not being rude Harry”
Luna than proceeded to take two brooms out of the adventure pack Remus than spoke in an amazed dry tone,
“Is there anything that adventure pack doesn’t have?”
Luna must not have heard because she started to speak,
“Loraine would you be so kind as to bring the brooms to my friends and unstick them from the tree”
The Queen flew out of Luna’s coat a disgruntled expression across her face,
“I can’t believe your making me do this I’m the Queen this is a job for someone below my station.”
Luna watched with amusement as the Queen brought up the brooms and responded,
“What you did to my friends was very rude”
A couple minutes later everyone was safely on the ground then they were bombarded by Loraine’s lecture about proper respect being bestowed upon the Queen thankfully she left with after only three minutes. Looking at her companions Luna than spoke,
“It’s a fifteen minute walk from here”
Remus and Harry nodded sagely following Lucy and Luna’s lead
Fifteen long minutes later they arrived at their destination the sight they beheld was simply magnificent there was a waterfall with a cave behind it and a small deep dark pool that poured itself into. Harry sat down on the rocky edge splashing his bare feet into the water,
“So this is the place then”
Luna nodded and looked at Remus who was already taking out a blanket for their picnic sat down next to holding him in a hug,
“Luna sometimes I find myself believing this all to be a happy dream and when I wake up I’ll be back there.”
Holding Harry a little closer Luna responded, “Harry I’ve always wanted a brother so if you’re dreaming I’m dreaming to. By the way did you know I was born in that cave?”
Curious Harry asked, “Is there a particular reason”
Luna smiled lopsidedly, “There are several first it’s the exact middle of the forest, it where the magical elf patriarch of the forest died, and it’s where most of my ancestors were born”
Harry nodded not really knowing what to say, “Interesting”
For the next several minutes Luna and Harry held each other close while listening to the peaceful sound of the water falls. Until Remus interrupted,
“Lunch is ready”
Harry then spoke to Luna, “I know were not by blood but would you mind if I think of you as my sister I’ve always wanted one.”
Grabbing Harry’s hand all the while giving him a big smile dragged him to blanket where the sandwiches and the fruit salad awaited to be ate,
“How about we swear an oath to be brother and sister for life”
Hearing this Remus spoke up, “Before you do any oath’s you should tell me so you don’t end up regretting it”
Luna smiled smugly, “You worry way to much Remus by the way,” Luna took out a potion from her pocket, “You and Lucy should stay in that cave behind the waterfall tonight it’s the most peaceful place in all the forest and your transformation will be slightly less painful”
Looking thoughtful Remus responded, “If you have any books in that adventure bag of yours and Lucy doesn’t mind I suppose I can stay. However back to the originally subject I forbid to do any oaths that involve blood nor anything that is marriage related”
Luna nodded, “The brother and sister vow that I found in the Lovegood library follows those rules”
Harry looked really interested and asked, “I haven’t read that book yet so could you tell me what are the effects of a brother and sister vow”
Luna nodded, “Well you can always find the other person, know what if they are hurt, and you can tell but not feel what their emotions are”
Harry making a split second decision proclaimed, “I’d really like that”
Smiling Luna pulled out a book from the adventure pack, “Alright Harry”
Luna looked at Harry’s and Remus amazed expression with an amused expression,
“You know the adventure pack is connected to the manor you think what you want and it comes”
Harry sighed, “I love magic”
Luna then flipped the pages of the book till she found the correct page, “brother and sister vow alright Harry you have to go first here’s what you read off”
After reading vow Harry began, “I Harry James Potter do solemnly sear to love, defend, and respect Luna Selene Lovegood like any brother by blood would till the end of my days so mote it be”
Luna then continued by taking the book, “I Luna Selene Lovegood do solemnly swear to love, defend, and respect Harry James Potter like any sister by blood would till the end of my days so mote it be”
A white flash enveloped Harry and Luna then they both held each other’s hands staring at each other with beaming smiles Harry spoke first,
“I like not being alone Luna”
Nodding Luna replied, “Me to”
All too soon after pulling out several books for Remus out of the adventure pack and finishing the sandwiches and fruit salad, Luna and Harry began the trek home.
