Chapter 21

Ginny left Cho with Luna in the Ravenclaw tower and went to find Colin. They needed to talk. The little idiot had made all this happen. Ginny took a deep breath to calm herself. It wouldn't do to scare Colin if she wanted information from him. She knew that he'd be in Gryffindor tower; if he wasn't there then she'd look on the astronomy tower. Everyone talked about him taking pictures on a night, many speculating that one day he would fall to his death. Hopefully he hadn't fallen today or she'd be out of evidence for Luna.

Entering the Gryffindor common room, Ginny found it quiet save from a few people who were up and studying. Right at the back of the room was Colin. She made her way to him quickly and asked, "The party? Luna? Did you see anything?" He looked up confused but his eyes widened when he saw it was Ginny. "Colin, hurry and answer me, I want to get to bed soon."

Colin simply shook his head and muttered, "I didn't see anything. I was j-just trying out a photography technique that I read about. Y-you just take random pictures." Ginny wasn't interested in photography theories and knew that Colin didn't know anything more. She needed to get back to Ravenclaw tower.


The next day Viktor made his way to the grounds of Hogwarts. He was sure he would find Luna outside. He walked along the banks of the river and gasped as he nearly tripped over a hunched figure. It was Luna. Viktor was surprised to see her looking so… dull. Usually she was all smiles and made you feel welcome and happy. "What's up?" He asked rather stupidly. Luna sighed and looked up at him.

"Hi," she said with a weak smile. "Me and Draco broke up." She said and she squeezed her eyes shut and tilted her head back. If anyone else saw her they'd think that she was trying to catch some sun except for the fact that the winter sun wasn't strong at all. Viktor knew she was upset and didn't want to push her. He didn't think he'd be able to handle it if she didn't return to her usual self soon.


Theodore made his way down to the Slytherin dungeon with Blaise. They were going to Hogsmeade and they hadn't seen any sign of Draco at breakfast. "Do you think he's alright?" Blaise asked. Theodore snorted.

"Of course he's not okay, he's only just found out his girlfriend was with another guy!" Blaise groaned.

"If he's all depressed I'm not going to know what to do."

"You better not shrink back; I don't know what to do either when he's like that!"

They entered the dormitory to find Draco getting out of bed looking quite groggy. "Hi," Theodore said nervously.

"Hi," Came the reply in a croaky voice. "What are you doing here? Hogsmeade is soon."

"Yeah, we were wondering if you wanted to come." Blaise said from beside Theodore.

"I don't want to." Draco said simply.

"But-"

"No." Draco said more firmly this time. Theodore tried not to be stung at being cut off but couldn't help but frown when Draco said, "I want to be alone." Now they were getting kicked out. He turned around and walked out quickly, hearing Blaise close behind. They needed to sort this out. And soon.


Luna had been sitting outside since breakfast. She was just thinking, she hadn't been listening to her own thoughts for a while and it was nice to be outside, listening to the chilly wind whistling through the trees whilst being cosy in a woolly scarf and jumper. She hadn't done this since the start of the year and it felt good to be alone again. The downside was that her thoughts kept wandering back to Draco… Maybe she should sort through her own thoughts. Have some sort of order instead of just yearning over one thing. Viktor had spoken to her earlier and she hadn't realised how upset she was about Draco until she'd had to say the words out loud. "Luna," Luna jumped but quickly relaxed, recognising Cho's voice.

"Hi," She said with a smile, turning around to find Ginny stood with her black haired friend.

"It's a Hogsmeade weekend; we're going in a little bit. Come on." Cho said with a smile.

Luna sighed, "I think I'll just get some revision for Transfiguration done today, I don't really feel like going out." She smiled at the end of her sentence but was only met with frowns.

"Sorry Luna but you've been doing work all week and you need a rest. No isn't an answer." Cho said sternly. Luna shrugged and smiled. There was no use fighting against her friends when their minds were made up.

She was sat in The Three Broomsticks now with a butterbeer in hand. "Luna, we know this is probably still a sensitive topic for you but we want to know what happened with Yordan at the party." Ginny was looking at her with an outwardly stern look but Luna could tell she wanted to know what happened.

She sighed, (she seemed to be doing that a lot) and told them, "I was trying to find you when I saw Yordan. He was quite drunk so I pulled him out of the crowd so he didn't get crushed," She let out a light laugh but quickly turned serious. "When I got him out he kissed me. I pulled away though."

"Bastard." Ginny muttered. Cho nodded in agreement.

"No no," Luna said quickly, "He was really drunk and when he realised what he did he said sorry." Cho let her head fall back and groaned.

"What are we going to do?" Luna didn't understand. She just shrugged and drank some butterbeer.
