Luna Lovegood has only one person she considers a friend and will go to extreme lengths to help him, including helping him find love with as many women as he can and convincing him it's the right thing to do.
A silent Potter enters Hogwarts. With only the written word, how does his place in the Wizarding world change? AU with a Harry who does a little more thinking. Abandoned, rewriting it as Best to say nothing.
