Luna Lovegood sighed as she stared out of the window, longing for something exciting to happen. Ever since the final battle here at Hogwarts, she had not been able to find anything that came anywhere near as exciting. She had tried to start the DA up again, but with Voldermort gone, no one seemed interested. Even Ginny had admitted that she wasn't interested. She turned her attention to her notes, which were substantially less than most people, for a Ravenclaw. She sighed again and continued taking notes. It certainly seemed that this was going to be an extremely boring year.

Rolf Scamander sighed as he tried to find his class. His father had finally let him come to Hogwarts for some real training, and he received a private sorting. Ravenclaw was the house for him apparently, and he was trying to find the correct classroom, which was proving almost impossible, as the stairs kept changing. He arrived when the class was almost over, apologized to the Professor, and took the only open seat he could find, next to a girl who seemed to be a bit off in her own world.

"Hello, my name is Luna Lovegood," the girl said. Rolf turned to reply, but found that she was much prettier than he had thought at first glance. Her dirty blonde hair that hung down to her waist looked so soft and inviting, he almost couldn't stop himself from running his hands through it. Her silvery eyes looked as if they both told everything about her, but locked away her secrets as well. Not to mention that fact that she was…what would be a good phrase for it? Excellently proportioned, he supposed.

"My name's Rolf," he said, nervously, "Rolf Scamander." Her beautiful eyes seemed to widen a bit when he said this.

"Are you related to Newt Scamander?" she asked, tilting her head to the side a little.

"Yes, actually, he's my grandfather," Rolf stated plainly, smiling. Most people didn't notice that. His grandfather was the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. He liked Luna even more after she said this. He liked that she had the capacity to remember the author of a book she probably hadn't looked at in years. The professor shot them a look and the two stopped talking until the end of class.

"So, Rolf," Luna asked, outside the classroom, "I haven't seen you around here before, where did you come from?" she didn't mean any harm in her statement, it was just that new students hadn't ever come to Hogwarts during the year since Luna had started here, and she was curious. Rolf clearly hadn't taken offence at her statement, as he replied with a smile.

"Well, my dad insisted on home schooling me, because he didn't want me going out and making a name for myself with Voldermort out and about, but since Harry Potter killed him last year, he agreed to let me come here for some more advanced wizard training," Rolf explained, as he and Luna walked to what he assumed was their next class.

"I knew Harry Potter," Luna stated dreamily, "He was one of the first people to be nice to me."

"Now why wouldn't people be nice to you?" Rolf questioned. She seemed like a completely likable person to him. So he had only known her for a few minutes, she still gave a good first impression.

"Well, I suppose that it has something to do with my father being the editor of The Quibbler. Most people think, well, thought I suppose, it was a bunch of rubbish, before they printed an interview with Harry Potter," she said, remembering how she had helped to set up said interview.

"How did you know Harry Potter?" Rolf asked.

"We met in my fourth year. He came into the compartment I was in on the school train after being persuaded by my only friend at the point, Ginny Weasly. She's actually dating Harry now. They had gotten together once before, but ended their relationship because Harry had to go on a mission for Dumbledore. Ron and Hermione went too. They were his best friends here, and they were gone all year last year until the battle occurred." Luna hadn't noticed at all that she had gone off topic, and Rolf smiled a bit at this.

"Here's my next class Rolf," she said, smiling at him. "What's your next class?" she asked, peeking at his schedule.

"Er, it's…" He too looked at his schedule.

"Transfiguration," they said at the same time. "Great," Luna said, pulling him into the classroom, "This is it."

Since Headmistress McGonagall was busy with her new job, the school had found a new Transfiguration teacher. Professor Steven Ravens. He had been a Ravenclaw when he went to school, and had been in his fair share of arguments with both James Potter and Severus Snape. "Class," he said, tapping his desk with his wand, "It's time to start the lesson."

Luna and Rolf immersed themselves in the lesson, as Professor Ravens didn't allow breaks at all. Interestingly enough, however, if someone wasn't paying attention, he left them alone without any punishments at all. There were several Slytherins that were talking the entire lesson, and Professor Ravens hadn't done anything to them at all. The entire lesson was spent taking notes, with Professor Ravens' back to the class, as he used his wand to write their note on the board in front of him. At the end of class, both Rolf's and Luna's hands were cramping, though neither said anything about it, as it was lunch time.

"How's lunch here?" Rolf asked Luna, walking with her to the Great Hall.

"It's pretty good normally, but I don't know what kinds of food you like, so I can't say if you'll like it or not," she said.

Rolf smiled, "I'm not that picky an eater," he said, following her through the doors into the Great Hall. The smell of food overwhelmed him instantly, and he smiled a little wider. "Smells great," he said.

"Well, that's probably a good thing then," Luna said, smiling at him. She walked over to her regular seat at Ravenclaw table and Rolf sat down next to her. "So, what classes do you have in the afternoon?" she asked, putting some food on her plate.

"Uh," Rolf looked at his schedule, "I've got free period, then Charms,"

"I've got Care of Magical Creatures and Charms, so I guess I'll see you there," Luna said, smiling as she stood up and walked out of the Great Hall. Rolf ate a few bites of food and then decided to find the Charms class in advance.

'Hmm,' Luna thought, 'Perhaps this year won't be as boring as I thought.'
