Harry peered past Neville as they entered the greenhouse. He couldn't recall ever coming out here before for anything other than classes. At the back, standing next to a long wooden table, was a girl with long blonde hair, and the blue trimmed robes of Ravenclaw. She looked up at the two newcomers with a welcoming grin, and spoke in a soft, dreamy voice. "Neville, I'm glad you finally made it. I was starting to get worried that the Sparwonks had gotten to you."

The Gryffindor laughed. "Don't worry, Luna, I wouldn't just leave you to learn herbology on your own."

The younger girl's gaze shifted and landed on Harry. "Ah, Harry Potter himself, what a wonderful surprise." She laughed. "Well, it looks like our savior has found a special someone."

Harry's eyes widened. "Wha… what are you talking about?"

Luna smiled. "I can see all of the Heptres flying around your chest. They're attracted to the hormones produced by feelings of love and strong affection."

Harry laughed. "Oh, for a moment there, I thought you were being serious."

Luna tilted her head. "But I am being serious, Harry."

Neville leaned over to speak to Harry in a whispered voice. "I've learned that it's best to just go along with whatever she says. Besides, some of it is quite fascinating." Then he turned to Luna, and spoke in a normal voice again. "Well, we aren't here to talk about Heptres. So why don't we get on with this lesson…"

Harry and Neville could both see that Luna was no longer paying attention to Neville. Her gaze was somewhere outside the greenhouse, and the two boys turned to see what had caught the Ravenclaw's attention.

Outside, there was a group of Slytherins, who were all obviously laughing. One of them held up the button in his hand, and Harry got a good look at it. In bright green, it said Potter Stinks. Harry frowned. Neville caught sight of the badges as well, and he sighed. "Harry, I don't think that people are really going to get over the fact that you're in the tournament. I'm sorry. But don't give them the satisfaction of reacting. I know it's probably asking the impossible… but just… stay out of trouble."

Harry smiled. "You've always looked out for me, Neville. Thanks."

Neville nodded, looking relieved that Harry was planning on storming out there and getting into a fight. Luna smiled. "So how about that lesson now?"

Neville nodded encouragingly at Harry. "I'm sure that Danni will be happy to have a visitor, and this aloe stuff should really help relieve the pain, even if it doesn't do much to actually heal the burn."

They entered the infirmary, and walked over to the only occupied bed. Danni's eyes were closed, but they were visibly fluttering around, like she was very interested in studying the backs of her eyelids. Harry didn't want to disturb her, so he placed the small jar on the nightstand, and scrambled to get a piece of parchment out of his bag, along with a quill and some ink. He would just write Danni a quick note, so she would know what to do with the thick green lotion.

But before he had a chance to write anything, Danni's eyes fluttered open. She blinked a few times in what seemed to be confusion, then she threw back her covers, and sat up. Harry moved forward. "Hey, easy there. You shouldn't be trying to move too much…" He trailed off when Danni held up his hands. He grabbed them, gently, to make sure that it wasn't an illusion, but there was no reaction, and her hands felt perfectly smooth, on both sides. "What…? How…?"

Danni shrugged. "I don't know what happened. I was just laying here, bored, and with no other form of entertainment, I just wanted to see… how good my range is. So I listened in on a few minds-"

Neville took the opportunity to interrupt. "I'm sorry, did you say listen in on minds? As in, mind-reading? Because that's not possible."

Danni's eyes widened in shock, making is clear that she hadn't been aware of

Neville's presence before she had started speaking. "I, uh… I didn't mean it like mind reading… just uh…" She looked up at Harry, and was looking for something. He hoped that she wasn't reading his mind, but he couldn't really blame her if she was. Finally, she sighed and shook her head. "Ah bloody hell. Yeah, I can read minds, whether you think it's impossible or not."

Neville looked at Harry, confusion written on his face, and Harry nodded. "It's true. She really can read minds. The burns on her hands… those were obtained when she, rather stupidly, tried to read the mind of the goblet to find out who put my name in."

Neville nodded, his face blank, but he seemed to be taking it all rather well. "Did

you? Find out who put your name into the goblet?"

Danni nodded. "It was a death eater name Barty Crouch Jr, and he's currently taking a polyjuice potion to make him look like Professor Moody. It's not a very pleasant situation."

Neville sighed. "Well, I guess sometimes normal is just too much to ask for. It's

not like there's already a whole bunch of other stuff going on. But you can read minds? That's so cool. How long have you been able to do that?"

Danni shrugged. "As far as I know, since I was born. You're now one of the handful of people who know my secret, also including Harry, Dumbledore, and my… parents." She sighed. "I don't even know if I should still call them that. I mean, yeah, they raised me and all, but I know now that they're not my real parents."

Neville offered a sympathetic smile. "I think that if they raised you right, then they can still be your parents."

Danni smiled. "Thanks." Then she swung her legs over the side of the bed, and

stood up. "Well, I just need to find Madame Pomfrey and get her to sign me out. I don't want Dumbledore taking away any house points because of me."

Harry raised one eyebrow. "Why would he take away house points?"

Danni rolled her eyes. "He said that if I got out of bed again, I would be

endangering a student, which is against the rules even if it's myself, apparently. And I don't want to risk it, so I need Madame Pomfrey to officially release me."

Harry nodded. "Well, me and Neville need to get to the Great Hall for dinner. I'll see you tomorrow though."

Danni nodded, and watched the two boys leave the infirmary. Once they were

just out of earshot, she shook her head sadly. "Good luck." She whispered.
