Prophecies and Promises

After breakfast was done, the students hurriedly moved to their first classes sighing in relief that they had avoided owls carrying bright red envelopes until the next day. It did nothing to relieve their unease though as nothing would stop the outrage that they were sure was heading their way. Megan and Cedric enjoyed their notoriety as most of the students tended to avoid them in fear of what they would do next. The only exceptions to this were Cho and a little blond Ravenclaw that would sometimes follow along behind them at a distance.

Cho was about to send her away before she saw Cedric notice the girl and then hold out his arms to her. When the girl ran at him and they pulled each other into a tight hug, Cedric asked "Hey Luna sweetie, where have you been all year?"

She returned the hug and smiled up at him. "I didn't want to bother you. I didn't think it would do your reputation any good to be seen with me."

"Like I care about that. I've told you that you can come to me anytime. I've always got time for you."

She smiled again. "Can I sit with you at lunch? I want to be somewhere safe when the Great Hall dissolves into chaos."

Megan perked up at that and asked "What did you see?"

Luna gave her a spacey smile and replied "I don't know what you're talking about Mistress Megs."

Megan looked at her in shock before growling out "Who told you about that? It wasn't the nargles again was it?"

"Of course not. They know better than to share your secrets after the last time. This time it was the pink pantied pixies."

Megan growled out "Not a word about this to anyone Luna."

Luna briefly smirked at her before hiding it. "Of course not Mistress Megs. I wouldn't dream of it. So will I be cousins with the green eyed seeker soon?"

Megan blushed but there was a slight smile on her face. Cedric took up the teasing and said "Well she already is Mistress Megs to his house elf so I'd be willing to bet that she'll confine him to a bed real soon."

Luna grinned. "You know you could use your ties if he gets too rough."

By this point, Megan was absolutely glowing from her embarrassment and turned to walk away. Luna hurried over and wrapped her arms around her. She whispered in her ear "I'm happy for you cousin. He will fill your life with love and passion. I'd say he's perfect for you."

Megan turned in the embrace and returned the hug. She whispered back "I think so too."

Luna smiled and whispered "You need to remember that in the next few years. His life will not be easy and he will need you desperately but once the storm fades, your life will be everything you could ever hope for."

"Thanks Luna."

"No thanks are necessary because I will be there right beside you."

Megan smirked "I don't think he could handle the both of us."

"You are probably right. Just one of us should be enough for any man since we take after our mothers. How is Aunt Kathleen?"

Megan laughed "She still has dad wrapped around her finger and misses you and your mum."

Luna nodded "So do I, tell her I will see a lot of her this summer. That should help."

Megan asked with a concerned look "Is there something you need to tell me?"

Luna's face took on a very serious expression. "Yes, I haven't heard from daddy in a while. Would you have Uncle Reggie go by and check on him? I fear what he may get up to when I'm not there to watch after him."

Megan looked at her for a minute and called out "Jiffy"

A minute later, there was a soft pop as a female house elf arrived and bowed to Megan in her cute little summer dress. "Miss Megan calls?"

"Yes Jiffy, thank you for coming so quickly. Would you ask dad to go by and check on Uncle Xeno? Luna is getting worried about him."

"Yes ma'am. Jiffy tells Master and Mistress at once."

"Thank you Jiffy. Remind me when we get home and we'll go out and buy you some new dresses."

"Jiffy would like that Miss Megan. Thank you." 'pop'

Cho was watching the entire exchange and realized if she had said anything to Luna, it wouldn't have gone well for her. As she thought about it, it was just another case of what had been happening to Harry and she resolved to do better in the future. It was then that she decided to do as Cedric had done for Harry and stand up as a protector for Luna. She stepped forward and held out her hand to Luna. "Luna, I'd like it if we could start over."

Luna looked at her warily because while she knew that Cho had not been a bully to her buy she had allowed it to continue. She stood there for a minute just looking at Cho as she held her hand out. Luna was testing her to see if she would act the spoiled little princess as was normal or if she was truly trying to change. She hoped it was the latter as the Asian girl had a lot of potential. After she didn't huff and walk off, Luna took her hand and said "Hello, I'm Luna Lovemgood."

Cho's eyes widened before she let out a giggle. "Cho Chang, nice to meet you Miss Lovemgood."

It was then that the four happy teens walked towards the Great Hall and to the predicted chaos.
