Albus Dumbledore paced bad forth in his office, the soft light of the desk mp casting long shadows across the room. The normally serene and posed headmaster was visibly agitated, his usually calm demeanor disrupted by the mounting stress.The storm outside raged on, the relentless wind howling against the windows. His desk was strewn with parts as, but his usual sense of order had disied into chaos. The wards that had once been his domain seemed to have slipped from his trol, a matter that had beore pressing with each passing hour. The magical protes around Hogwarts, which he had always used to his advantage was now gone.

  To make matters worse, he had retly learhat he was no longer sidered Harry Puardian. This revetion had left him feeling powerless he he potter moo pay off the Weasley and tio fund the order of Phoenix

  Dumbledore muttered to himself, his voice tinged with frustration. “Why is it that I am no lohe one guiding him? Does he not trust me? How is Luna Fae…?” He trailed off, shaking his head in disbelief. Luna Lovegood, with her uable behavior and seemingly chaotifluence, had all made sense now Merlin help him.

  Suddenly a te night owl flew into his office. “Oh what could it be now!” Dumbledore says calmly.

  ==="Hello, me," Luna responded with a faint smile, though there was a gravity to the moment that she couldn't ignore.

  "Hello, little moon," the other ali responded, her gaze pierg.

  "So," Luna began, her voice soft but curious, "what o be done from here?"

  The elder Luna tilted her head, sidering her answer before speaking. "Memories. You must find them. They are the key to your past and future, though I ot tell you exactly where they lie. Such things often hide in pin sight, waiting for you to see them with open eyes."

  Luna pohe cryptic response. "So, I'm to search for what I’ve lost?" she asked.

  "Yes," the elder Luna said, her form flickering slightly in the dream’s haze. "Only when you’ve found what has been taken you move forward and truly unlock your full potential. The answers you seek are closer than you think."

  The red moon seemed to pulse with energy as the elder ali began to fade, leaving Luna alone once more in the vast emptiness.===Harry waited anxiously as Luna stirred awake. He had been holding his breath, worried about what she might have seen or learned.

  "So, how did it go?" Harry asked, trying to sound casual despite his .

  Luna smiled, sitting up and stretg. "It's what I thought it would be, but... I have a quest now."

  Harry couldn’t help but chuckle at her tone. "Alright, what’s the quest?"

  Luna leaped to her feet, a burst of energy taking over as the moonlight shohrough a break iorm clouds, the rain still p outside. Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she dramatically poioward the window. "WE ARE GOING TO STEAL THE MOON!" she decred, breaking out into vilinous ughter.

  Harry stared at her, trying to hold back his amusement. "And what in the world are we going to do with that much cheese, Luna?" he asked, pretending to be serious.

  Luna paused mid-ugh, blinking at Harry’s ued question. "Cheese?" she repeated, momentarily thrown off by his response.

  "Yeah," Harry tinued, arms crossed. "I mean, I love cheese, but a whole moon's worth? That seems a bit... excessive."

  Luna, regaining her posure, flicked her hair as her own ughter suddenly over whelmed her.

  “Harry, who ever said you did not have a sense of humor lied.” Luna says giggling

  “Right, well its getting te I feel like we should turn in for the night and maybe tio explore this quest tomorrow.” Harry says with a smile

  Just as the mood seemed to settle, Luna’s ughter faded. Her expression turned serious as she looked at him ily. "Harry... do you wao join you in your dreams again tonight?"

  Harry stilled, sidering her offer carefully. "We o talk about that, actually," he said softly. "There’s something going on in my dreams, something I don’t uand. If you feel like you o e into them, I trust you, but… just be careful."

  Luna nodded solemnly, sensing the weight of his words. As Harry stepped closer, he brushed a stray strand of hair from her fad gently kissed her forehead.

  "I'll be careful," she whispered. "We’ll figure this out, Harry. Together."
