****************** A year later *****************

Looking out the window from where he's laying on his bed at the cloudy, dreary sky, Harry sighs once more. "At least it's not raining today."

Hearing a snort, he looks to see Luna looking over at him from where she's reading an encyclopedia (which after receiving as a gift, Dudley had never opened). "Harry, the amount of rain we get around here sometimes I forget what dry dirt feels like."

Harry rolls his eyes at this before staring back at the ceiling.

Luna glances back at the book and then around the room. "Do you have anything that you want to do Harry? Because while we can work on your magic, all that's left is for you to master what I've taught you so far and... well..."

Harry just chuckles a little. "And like me you want a small break but are bored like me." He then glances at her. "Library?" Her grin is answer enough as he gets off the bed and the two head out.

Once in the library, they greet Juliet before noticing the stuffed animals on display. Smiling, Juliet walks up and stands behind Harry who's looking them over. "Do you like them?" Harry just nods. "You know, we're having a teddy week and all of our patrons who have them are encouraged to bring them."

His next words cause her and Luna to frown though. "I don't have any..."

After a moment, Juliet shakes it off and gives him a smile. "Well, maybe your aunt and uncle might buy one for you then." When Harry tells her they don't have the money for it, her eyes narrow for a moment before she brightens. "Harry, you told me that you're good with sewing right?" Harry nods as he had learned that a while ago to repair his clothing. "Well then, how about you come with me then?" Confused, he nonetheless follows as she leads him into the Hobby section. Taking a few books down, she hands them to him.

Harry looks over the titles and finds that most have to do with making stuffed animals.

Crouching down, she smiles as she looks Harry in the eye. "Now Harry, that should give you the info to make your own little pal. Do you want to check them out, or photocopy them?" Harry gets them photocopied (despite his protests, Juliet pays for them) and then leaves. As he walks down the street, Juliet watches while the other librarian walks up and stands beside her. "Isn't there something that we can do? It's obvious he that he's being neglected."

Robert, the other librarian just shakes his head sadly. "There's not much that we can do. Unless he tells us or we see him hurting, we have no proof besides the clothing. And that could be explained away as being hand-me-downs."

Juliet scowls before giving Harry another glance. Sighing, she heads back inside wishing that there was something that she could do.

Harry on the other hand is walking with a bit of a smile on his face as Luna watches him. "So what are you going to make then?"

Harry looks up at the sky and smiles. "I have an idea... but I'll need to get some stuff first." After heading back to his relative's house, Harry goes up to his room and pops open a loose floor board showing a small felt bag.

Seeing it, Luna's eyes widen. "Isn't that the money you've gotten for the last while?" Harry just nods before they head out. A few weeks later finds Harry slowly working the stuffing inside a purple alicorn as Luna gives him a deadpan look. "Is there a particular reason that you're creating a stuffed version of me?"

Harry just looks at her with a small grin. "Besides the fact that it's supposed to be my 'Friend'?"

Luna's lips twitch as she watches him pick up the needle and thread using magic and begin to stitch it. "Well, I would think that the fact that your aunt, uncle and cousin seem to freak out a little when they see a unicorn might have something to do with it." She then gestures to the needle as it finishes its work. "Though it's been great for teaching you precision with magic and your control has gone up."

Finishing the last stitch, Harry wipes away some sweat from his brow. "Yeah, that's true. Never would have thought that it would be so tough to do something like sewing with magic."

Luna nods before floating over the strip of fabric with the "Mane" attached to it. "Hence why I had you do it. While it may not seem like it, those unicorns who's talents lay in creating fabrics and clothing have the some of the greatest amounts of control over their magic and can use it with a precision that's neigh unbelievable. Add in that they use their magic to also strengthen the fabrics and well... It's a great skill to learn."

Harry just snorts as he looks up at her before laying the strip along the doll's back and threading the needle and thread through it and the doll while commenting dryly. "Somehow I think that creating a stuffed toy is an altogether different thing then making clothing." Harry reaches over and grabs several small pieces of felt and sews them on as well giving the doll Luna's Cutie Mark.

Luna just nods as he starts placing the black covering for the hooves. "True. I will admit that there's quite a bit of difference between creating a spectacular dress and a stuffed toy. However, it's still rather useful as an exercise." She watches as he floats the two plastic eyes and then begins placing them. "And you are quite good with this."

Nodding as he concentrates, Harry sews the last bit. "Thanks Luna." Placing everything aside, he holds up the stuffed toy. "There! Done." Looking at Luna, he grins. "So? What do you think?"

Looking at the toy, she giggles as it's a plush version of herself. "Looks great." She then makes her way beside him and lays her horn on it before it begins to glow. "Harry? Would you mind giving me some magic?"

Nodding, Harry channels his magic into her.

After a few moments, she backs away from it. "There. Whew! I forgot how hard casting those spells could be when you don't have much power." Harry just cocks his head to the side and asks which ones. "Why, preservation spells, self-repair, and a spell to make it resistant to rips and tears."

Harry sets it aside and is about to say more when he stops. "Luna? Did you hear something right now?"

Blinking, she looks around. "Now that you mention it... I did..."

Hearing it again, they turn and watch with wide eyes as the toy stands up on its own, it's originally round pupils now slitted as the eyes glow. "YES! I NOW HAVE A VESSEL OF MY OWN WITH WHICH TO INTERACT WITH THIS WORLD! SOON IT SHALL KNOW THE MIGHT OF..." She trails off as she notices that her voice is slightly high pitched as well as the fact that Harry and Luna seem much bigger than normal. "WHAT TRICKERY IS THIS!" Pointing at them, she sees her hoof for the first time and lapses into silence.

Harry meanwhile glances at Luna with an icluderous look. "Um... is that Nightmare in there?" Luna's eyebrow twitches as she nods before beginning to tremble.

Seeing this, Nightmare grins. "Yes... that's right Little Princess, fear me and tremble before my-" She gets cut off as Luna collapses into howling laughter. "WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!"

Grabbing a piece of cotton nearby, NMM throws it only for it to go through Luna causing her to laugh even harder, tears streaming from her eyes. Enraged, NMM leaps at her causing Harry to just watch with a completely blank look before covering his eyes. "All the ponies I know are crazy..." He waits a few minutes as Nightmare rages. He then lays down on his bed and faces her. "So..." Noticing he's gotten her attention, he raises an eyebrow. "Any particular reason that you're here? In a doll?"

She looks at him and frowns."I didn't know that it was going to be a... teddy. All I knew was that you were building a body that I could inhabit outside the Princess." Hearing a snort, she gives Luna a glare to which Luna just grins. Giving a huff, she looks back at Harry. "Besides, this gives us a chance to talk."

Harry blinks at this of course. "Talk?"

Nightmare nods. "Of course talk." She gestures with her head towards Luna. "After all, despite me giving you those holidays and birthdays in your dreams, you never visit me." Harry flinches at that. NMM doesn't seem to notice, though Luna narrows her eyes at her. Jumping up onto the bed, Nightmare gives them both a haughty look, that's somewhat diminished by the fact that she's a plushy. "So, since you won't come to me, I decided to come to you."

Luna raises an eyebrow at this as Harry looks at her curiously. "So... you just want to talk?"

Nightmare nods. "Of course... well, that and interact with the real world once more."

Harry gives her a saddened gaze as Luna's own eyes become hooded suspicion. Harry then rests his head on his arms as he stares into her eyes. "Can I ask you a question?" She just nods. "Why did you attack my relatives using bad dreams?"

She just looks at him silence for a few seconds. "Because they hurt you. And by doing so, they're attacking me. Because you're mine." Harry's about to say something before letting it drop. Instead, he points out that they have never have never hit him to which she snort. "They still hurt you and that is unforgivable." Hearing a snort, she turns to see Luna giving her a smirk. "And what is it that has you amused Princess?"

Luna just shakes her head. "Well... you've tormented them in their dreams and are now in a doll that resembles yourself." She then gives Nightmare a vicious look. "And chances are that they'll tear you apart."

Hearing a gulp, they see a slightly pale Harry. "Not to mention what they might do to me..."

Nightmare just shakes her head and walks up close to Harry's face. "I am not worried about those animals. It's but a simple matter of using an illusion to make them not recognize me." She then reaches up with her hoof and gently brushes some of Harry's hair from his forehead, for some reason, Harry finds he can't move anything but his eyelids as a shiver runs through him and his eyes widen. "I will not allow them or anything to keep me from you Child. Nothing." Suddenly able to move, Harry jerks back as Nightmare watches with a sly look on her face before she turns and jumps off the bed while ignoring Luna's glare as she flies to Harry's side. 'Yes... things are going nicely indeed...'

A little while later while Harry's gone to the bathroom, Luna confronts Nightmare by getting into her face. "What is it that you think that you're doing!"

Nightmare merely smirks. "Moi?" Leaning forwards, Nightmare gives the impression of a toothy grin. "I am simply insuring that Harry knows that I care." Getting up on her hind legs, she spreads her forelegs wide. "And now, I can physically comfort the poor boy."

Luna just snarls."You're up to something... You want him to yourself and will do anything-" She's cut off as Nightmare begins to laugh. "What is so funny!"

Nightmare stops after a moment and leans in closely to her counterpart. "You are." Leaning back, Nightmare chuckles. "You seem to think that I have some grandiose plan to make Harry ours and ours alone." She then chuckles darkly. "Simple matter is... I have no need for a grand complicated plan. None."

Luna stutters for a moment at this. "You... you could do something like... isolate him and..."

She trails off as Nightmare laughs. "Isolate him? How? And from whom?" She then gestures around them as she sneers. "Seems to me that his relatives have done a fine job of isolating him themselves. Other then ourselves, who has he got Princess? That Librarian?" She snorts in derision. "They barely see each other outside of the library. And she likely has an idea as to his life..." She leans in close to Luna causing her to recoil. "And she does nothing for him."

Luna starts at this. "Well she could-"

She then gets cut off by Nightmare. "She could what Princess? Perhaps she'll find out about his magic and accept him?" A glint of amusement enters her plastic eyes. "Perhaps Harry shall help her regain her home from her aunt who kicked her out after her beloved father's death. And then, when those buffoons he calls relatives have to make a run for it due to Vernon being caught by the authorities... I mean nice boat salesmen, she might convince them to sign adoption papers for Harry. And then the two shall live happily ever after." She then narrows her eyes into a glare. "This is real life and not a book. We are the only ones he can truly rely on. And it shall remain that way for a long time yet." She then chuckles. "So you see Princess... why should I bother with a plan when others have already done the work needed? All we need to do is give him comfort... a shoulder to lean on... a friend and he shall be ours. And guess what?" Nightmare leans in close. "You can't help but do exactly that. It's part of whom you are." Realization crosses Luna's face before she snarls causing Nightmare to chuckle. "And now... the only question remaining is this: Will he be like you... or will he be like me...?"

Luna's eyes light up in rage. "Harry is nothing like you and never will be like you!"

Nightmare just sneers. "Such naiveté. Look at him closely Little Princess. He already resented his relatives before we met him. Possibly even hate them a little. I would even hazard a guess that he'd come to resent those around him even if he had never met us." She then leans back with a satisfied look at the expression of loathing on Luna's face. "And now... all we have to do is wait and see who's right in the end. If nothing else... we have patience..."

Luna just scowls at this. "And yet, for all you say you care for him, you still set it up where one day his relatives might snap and hurt him!"

Now it's Nightmare's turn to snarl. "I will never allow that to happen!" Shocked at the vehemence in her voice, Luna recoils as Nightmare calms down. "They are animals and thus can be trained as such."

Luna is shocked at what Nightmare just said. "But... but they're thinking beings..."

Nightmare sneers in response. "And yet... they act like animals. Thus, they shall be treated as such." Throwing her mane back, she looks at Luna with a haughty expression. "And it is already working." Seeing the confusion, she smirks. "What? Did you think that the way they now treat him is because of just that one time. Hardly!"

Luna looks at her with a slightly sick feeling that she knows what's going on before replying weakly. "What have you done..."

Nightmare snorts before speaking. "Nothing like what Discord would do. Just... training them as the animals they are." Now Luna demands an answer in a stronger voice. "How else? When they hurt our Harry, I punish them harshly in their dreams. When they do the opposite and either ignore him or treat them well, I give them the most restful sleeps with the most wonderful dreams imaginable. And as you've seen... it's worked." Luna still glares at her.

A few moments later, Harry walks in to see a smirking Nightmare being glared at by Luna. He simply blinks and shrugs it off. 'Somehow... I think that this will be a common occurrence...'

Later that night, Nightmare gets up in her new body while Harry is sleeping and jumps off the bed. Making her way to the door, she smirks a little as she senses that she's the only one awake. 'Now then... let's see what I can find...' Using her magic, she unlocks and opens the door before walking out into the hallway. After a moment, she hears the television downstairs on and goes to see what is going on. Entering the living room, she takes a moment to sneer at the sight of Vernon Dursley sleeping in a chair.

She gives a glance to the tele and is about to leave when the next announcement catches her attention. "We shall continue our Late Night Horror Movie marathon with Child's Play coming up next and later with Nightmare on Elms Street..."

Blinking, Nightmare turns with an interested look. 'Now then... that sounds very interesting indeed...' Later, neither Harry nor Luna could understand why Nightmare asked for a striped sweater for the next Christmas...

Winter slowly becomes Spring which turns into Summer. One day about two months after Dudley's birthday (which involved an incident with a boa constrictor at a zoo and Nightmare playing games in the Dursley's dreams afterwards), the mail arrives. After a small argument, Harry goes to get it when he finds a letter addressed to him.

Luna blinks and looks at Harry. "Do we even know anyone who might send us a letter?" The two look at the letter's address and raise an eyebrow at what it says:

Mr. H. Potter.
Smallest Bedroom
4 Privet Drive
Little Whinging
Surrey.

Luna gives Harry and odd look from where she's leaning over his shoulder. "The address is... oddly specific, isn't it?"

Harry just nods. He's about to open it when Vernon comes in, and upon seeing it, grabs it from him. "What's this now? Who'd be writing to you now?" Opening it, he reads it and starts changing colors. "BOY! ROOM NOW!" Harry's about to argue when Vernon grabs him and shoves him up the stairs. Harry is soon followed by Dudley as they can hear snitches of the conversation downstairs.

Later that night, Harry is laying back on his bed deep in thought while ignoring Nightmare grumbling about what she's going to do to his uncle for daring to touch her Harry.

Luna is pacing around the bed shaking her head. "This is just too strange... who would be writing to you, and why be so specific?"

Hearing a snort, she turns to Nightmare as does Harry. "It's another piece of the puzzle about Harry." Seeing the looks, she shakes her head. "We know that his relatives have lied about what happened to his parents, that much is obvious." She walks over and jumps onto the bed as she gazes at her companions. "Then you have all those people who seem to know Harry on sight... while he doesn't know them. And, finally, we have this letter which is very specific about where he lives." Waving her hoof around, she shrugs. "They're most likely connected somehow."

After a moment, Luna nods and turns to Harry. "As much as I hate to admit it... she has a point." Luna sighs. "It's like that detective from the books said: 'If you've eliminated the impossible, whatever is left, no matter how improbable, is likely the truth.' Everything being a mass of coincidences is unlikely. Possible, but unlikely. So I guess the most likely answer is that they're interconnected somehow... How though is the major question." She then frowns. "All we can do is wait and see if something else happens..."

The next day there's another one, but Vernon gets it before Harry again.

Early in morning after, Luna flies out the bedroom door and a moment later returns shaking her head. "We can't get out the front door. Vernon is there waiting, and he's not in a good mood."

Both her and Harry turn to Nightmare who shrugs unapologetically. "I'll keep it up until he gives in." The other sigh and shake their heads before stopping as she points something out. "Besides... isn't it odd that he's expecting one?" Both Luna and Harry blink before turning to each other in surprise. The next few days continue to be odd as more and more letters arrive.

When 24 arrive rolled up and hidden inside two dozen eggs, Luna just shakes her head. "Whoever they are, they're persistent. Give them that... and creative too. Though how the hay did they get those letters in the eggs in the first place..."

The next day though... what had to be around forty letters came down through the fireplace chimney. Once more Harry tried to grab one, but with Petunia and Vernon trying to stop him, and Dudley trying to grab one himself, Harry is unable to and soon both him and Dudley are chucked from the room by his uncle who slams the door shut. That night finds them in a hotel miserable. Beside him, Dudley snores in his bed before his attention is caught by Nightmare poking her head out of the backpack she's in.

He's about to comment when Luna practically screams in frustration. "WHAT THE HAY IS GOING ON HERE?" She then glares at the wall. "Whatever it is... Vernon knows and so does Petunia..."

Nightmare just nods from where she's laying her head across her folded arms. "Indeed... and it's a simple matter to find out."

Luna scowls at Nightmare before replying as Harry winces. "I don't think that your usual methods might work here..."

Nightmare just chuckles. "Who said anything about my usual methods..." She shoves one hoof into the beg with a smirk. "After all, there's no need since we have... THIS!" And with that she pulls out one of the letters causing their jaws to drop. "Yes, yes. I am truly magnificent."

She just watches with a smirk as Harry sputters and Luna stares incredulously. "Wha... but... when... how...?" Dudley starts for a moment causing Harry to wince before he rolls over.

At this Nightmare rolls her eyes and grumbles about overweight pigs. She then hands Harry the letter. "While those oafs you call relatives were busy trying to stop you and that fat pig of a son of theirs from getting one, I managed to snag one that came close to the door and rush upstairs with it before putting it in the backpack when I heard him yelling to get packed." Seeing Luna about to ask something, she gives her a smirk. "As to why I didn't mention this... did we really have time before now to look at it?" Once more, Luna grumbles at Nightmare who jumps onto the bed. "Now then..." Her horn glows for a moment and she lets out a sound of exhaustion. "We won't be disturbed by them. Now with how deeply they're sleeping." For a moment, her eyes close in enjoyment as Harry softly strokes her mane. He's brought back when Nightmare taps the letter.

Opening it, he freezes after reading the first line.

Intrigued by this, Luna drifts over to look over his shoulder and her eyes widen as she reads aloud.
"'HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, international Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Mr. Potter...'" She reads the rest in a soft mumble before looking at Harry. "Harry... do you know what this means..."

Nightmare speaks up. "That someone likes their titles?" The other two blink and stare at her for a moment before facepalming (and hoofing). Seeming to ignore it, Nightmare smirks. "Hm. Some of those sound interesting. Might use them later..."

Luna just rolls her eyes. "No... well, besides that." She turns to Harry. "It seems that you're not the only person to use magic."

Seeing the frown on his face, she softly blushes as he grumbles. "But I liked the idea of my magic coming from you..."

She just nuzzles him."Thank you." She then pulls away with a smile. "But I am glad that it seems that you're not alone in the world besides me."

Harry smiles before frowning. "But... what do we do now? We can't get in contact with them." He then deadpans as he gestures around the room. "For one thing, I don't have an owl." He then scowls. "Maybe I should confront Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon about it."

Luna shakes her head, a smirk on her face. "Actually... let's not." Seeing the other two look at her, her smirk becomes an evil smile. "We know what's in the letters now, so no worry there. And of the people are this persistent, then they're not going to stop anytime soon. Someone might even come and confront them about why the letters haven't been answered. Then you can reveal that you already knew. Just the looks on your relatives' faces..."

Nightmare looks at her with wide eyes before bursting into laughter. Calming down, she gives the lunar princess a approving look. "Very nice Princess. Very nice indeed." Luna just nods. Later that night, Nightmare is watching over Harry as he sleeps. After a moment of simply staring, she reaches up and brushes some hair from his forehead before glaring at his scar. 'One day... one day...' Glancing at his face, she closes her eyes and softly nuzzles his neck. 'Perhaps one day...' She then pulls away and spends the rest of the night, like many others, just watching over him. Then, with first light, she goes back into the backpack and goes to sleep herself, with her spirit leaving the doll which has taken on more and more of her physical characteristics since she's begun inhabiting it and heading back to her and Luna's moon.

Of course, none of them know what's just around the corner...
