Just so you know and so you don't get confused, this chapter back tracks a little bit, just so you understand what happens AFTER Hermione runs out of the hall. It is from the mystery person's point of view and I'm not going to tell you. See if you can work it out. It shouldn't be too difficult.
Thanks for reading and a special thanks to everyone who has reviewed! I feel so loved when I get a review.

I had just headed into the great hall and was about to go and sit down and have a breakfast to stimulate the brain, kind of like Ravenclaw's diadem does. It would to amazing to find it.
But just as I am about to sit down I hear a shout from the other end of the hall.
"WON-WON!" a voice says. People are sniggering around me, I don't understand really because it is quite rude.
I sit down my back facing the Gryffindor table. I am just getting a piece of toast when I hear another shout. I recognise Hermione's voice.
"GET OFF HIM! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT HE DOESN'T LIKE IT?!"
There is a second's pause and I turn around and see Ginny saying something to Hermione.
"NO! I WILL NOT CALM DOWN GINNY!" Then Hermione says something that I can't quite hear. Her last sentence is directed at Ron and I hear her shout. "I DON'T CARE! I LOVE YOU AND I HAVE FOR AGES."
Then she runs out of the hall. Everyone around me starts laughing.
"That's really insensitive you know! How would you like it if someone started laughing at you if you just spilled your secret out for the whole school to hear?" I asked the people around me. That stopped them. People were just so insensitive.
I saw Smith laughing at the Hufflepuff table (a/n just did that so you knew it wasn't Smith) and I felt the urge to hex him. Ginny told me about Hermione and Smith, apparently they were supposed to be friends. I walked up to him and said:
"Zacharias that is supposed to be your friend and you are just sitting there, laughing at her." I didn't wait for a response. I skipped over to the Gryffindor table.
"Aren't you going to go after her?" I asked Ronald. He was still sitting in the same place, shock etched on his face.
"Won-won?" the girl next to him said, Violet Yellow I think her name was. I think she was going out with Ronald. "You don't like her right? You love me right?"
Ronald shook his head.
"Which was the shake to Won-won?" she persisted.
"The 'you love me' bit!" Ginny snapped. I do like her. She is very nice and frank.
"Really Won-Won? Tell your sister she's wrong." Violet, no I think its Rose said.
"She's not wrong! Ron doesn't love you." Harry said. He was nice also, telling those fourth year girls we were his friends.
(A/n guessed who it is yet? That was a major clue!")
"Yes he does! My Won-won loves me! Right Won-won?" Rose said.
Ronald shook his head. Rose or whatever her name was screamed and then ran out of the hall crying.
"Wow Won-won," Ginny said "Two girls running off crying before the end of breakfast, I think that my dear brother is a record."
"Is Won-won your new nickname?" I asked Ronald curiously. "It's not a very good one. There is this creature that is called the Won-wonny and it feeds off human brains!"
Ginny and Harry started laughing. They were being a bit rude.
"No, it's not his nickname." Harry said as he stopped laughing, "It's just what Lavender called him."
"Was that Lavender? I thought her name was Rose? Oh well. I have to go." I said and I skipped out of the hall.
I left the entrance hall and walked into the grounds as I was sure this was where Hermione was. It was a nice cold day and it would be great for someone who was upset. I go outside when I'm feeling upset about my mum. She was a rather extraordinary witch.
Then I spotted her. She was sitting under a tree right next to the lake. I ran over and saw that she was crying. The poor thing. Ronald could be quite mean sometimes.
"Hermione?" I said as I came to stand just behind her.
"Luna?" she said as I sat down beside her.
"He'll come round. Wrackspurt have him." I told her. And she put her head on my shoulder and cried there.
The outdoors was a great place to cry, everything felt so big compared to your problems.
Author's note: I know this story only progressed 3 lines but I felt it was crucial to understand what happened in the great hall after Hermione left.
Did you guess who it was before I told you? When? I tried not to give it away to early. Sorry if Luna was a bit OOC, I've never written about her before so I wasn't really sure how to be with her. She is such a complex character.
Anyway. I hope you enjoyed it. There will be some serious Ron/Hermione confrontation next chapter.
PLEASE review. I love it when I get reviews.
