Luna Lovegood takes her first ride on the Hogwarts Express.
For younger readers ...
This story is set at the beginning of the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets school year. Luna Lovegood is an eleven-year-old witch who lives near the Weasley family. Like Ginny Weasley, Luna is starting her first year at Hogwarts. Harry and Ron and Hermione are starting their second year.
Fate has rarely been kind to Harry Potter, and the summer he turns sixteen is no exception. As grief and righteous fury threaten to consume the boy, Remus Lupin steps forward as a very different kind of guardian, promising much, but is he up to it? Harry needs a father, Remus needs a son, but both must confront their demons before the summer is out. Fear, jealousy, love and laughter … a summer that awakens more than either expects.
