Chapter 2
Ron hadn't been able to sleep that well since Dumbledore's funeral. He had been his hero and the school didn't seem the same without Dumbledore casting a watchful eye over the school and its pupils.
"Harry? Harry! Can I borrow the cloak?" whispered Ron as Harry stared groggily.
"Yeah. Just shut up and let me get back to sleep." Harry said turning over and drawing the curtains. Ron silently got the cloak and walked out the room, tripping over one of Neville's numerous plants that scattered the room. Trying not shout he continued his escape to the door.
As Ron left the common room he didn't really think where he was going, it was the night before he left Hogwarts. This could be the last day he set foot in the castle. Even if the school didn't close, he still wouldn't be coming back, but it was only just hitting Ron how BIG the whole "mission" was going to be. Not that he was backing out. It was like he said the time for turning back had long since passed and even if it hadn't he wouldn't go back anyway.
As he walked up the stairs, he thought about how things had still seemed promising, even after the funeral. Him and Hermione, it almost seemed like they might have gone somewhere, but no. Nothing was happening and Ron was finally after 6 years contemplating giving up.
Suddenly he came across a corridor he hadn't seen before. Something was that at the end of the corridor. A body.
Her dirty blonde hair spread in a fan. Her body stiff and rigid, a single tear running down her pale white skin. Was she dead?
Ron ripped back the cover of the Invisibility Cloak.
"Luna! Please don't be dead!" Ron said.
Ron remembered all the time he had laughed and scoffed at her. How could he ever apologize now? She really wasn't that bad, just a bit- out of the ordinary. And now she was dead!
"Ronald, I am not dead, but I would be really grateful if you could undo this hex." She said.
Ron looking a bit taken aback quickly complied. His ears glowing red as he remembered the tears welling in his eyes. Had she noticed?
"What the hell are you doing out at this time at night? Anything could have happened to you? It is the end of term tomorrow. What if I hadn't found you?" Ron shouted, unused to the sound of authority in his voice.
Luna blinked her bulbous blue eyes twice before answering, wiping the tear away from her cheek quickly.
"I was looking for my school stuff. Some of my stuff is still missing and I really need, especially if we aren't coming back. What are you doing up this late Ronald?" Luna said as she scrambled to her feet.
" I cant…it doesn't matter. Why were you under that curse? Why didn't you block it?"
"You do ask a lot of questions." Luna said as she set off walking.
"Luna! Where are you going? Raven claw common room is that way!" Ron shouted asked her
"Why to look for my school books of course!" said Luna
"Wait I'll help you look!" Ron thought guiltily about the time he had hidden a first year's textbook in the room of requirement. "Luna I have an idea where some of your stuff might be,"
