Chapter Seven
Seeing and Hearing is believing
Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny Luna and Neville were sitting together at the Gryffindor table eating breakfast. They had been back at school now for a couple of weeks and had settled into their new timetables. All 6 were chatting amiably about classes - well apart from Ginny who was cursing Snape for picking on Colin again.
Hermione was listening to the others moan about Snape when all of a sudden the noise volume in the hall trebled. She winced and put her hands over her ears and closed her eyes to try and shut out the noise as she wondered what charm had backfired and who had caused it. Must be a first year she thought. After a couple of minutes she decided to check and see if normality had resumed. She was rather surprised to see that Ron, Neville, Luna, Harry and Ginny along with a few others from both the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw table looking at her as if she were mad. She caught Ron's eye and smiled - he smiled back at her.
"Bleeding typical I always get ignored. Why do I put up with this job for?? What does she want me to do? Flutter past her nose again before she takes this damn paper from me. Perhaps if I could transform myself into that young redheaded man she seems to be entranced with I might get a response."
Hermione looked down at the table her cheeks red and was confused to find a brown owl sitting on the table with its leg out waiting for her to take her copy of the Daily Prophet. As she did so the owl blinked at her and said "About time too miss, you have a good morning you and your "friend" over there" and flew off. Hermione looked at the rest of the table no one had really noticed but mortified at the idea that Ron might have heard what the owl said she got up picked her books up and hurried out of the hall mumbling about forgetting a book in the dormitory.
As she walked up to the tower she realised how ludicrous she had been - as if an owl could talk anymore than her cat could. She really needed to calm her overactive mind down.

Luna snuggled down in her bed. She loved her bed it was so cozy and soft. The other girls in her dormitory were giggling and whispering to one another as she drifted asleep.
She saw Hermione sitting by the lake with a Unicorn foal sitting beside her. She was in the middle of a conversation and Luna could hear what both of them where saying. She stood entranced watching this...
She then felt herself twirling twirling twirling and then she stopped and fell into a tree she looked around and Ginny appeared with Harry, the two of them dancing in this small clearing in what appeared to be a forest. As they danced flowers, glowing bugs and butterflies appeared. The light was glowing off them both.....
Then she started to twirl again and again and again. As she stopped she fell against another tree. She looked around to see where she was and she saw Neville he was sitting next to some plants talking to them. She was shocked as again she could hear what they were discussing. Neville looked up and saw her. He looked panicked and started stuttering an explanation to her but she threw her arms around him and hugged him telling him to shush it was ok......
She looked down over Neville shoulder they were twirling in the air, almost dancing..then she felt herself falling not to the ground but as if she were being pulled from the dream..she tried to fight it .. but she couldn't.
"Ouch"
Luna opened her eyes to find herself on the floor. She got back into her bed hoping to rejoin her dream and Neville.

Neville was waiting for Luna to meet him by the greenhouses as he waited his mind wandered back to the events of that morning in Herbology.
He had been potting several plants that Madam Sprout had asked him to do since they needed to be done with care. He didn't mind as he had always felt at ease with plants for some reason or other - he always seemed to know what to do with them. His Great Uncle Algie used to joke that it was as if the plants "spoke" to him.
As he patted down the earth over some seeds he heard a whisper as if someone was standing beside him. He looked around but no one was near him they were all at the other end of the greenhouse. He shrugged and continued.
"I'm here, hello? We fell out of the pot. Don't forget about us" the voice whispered. Looking down where the whisper had come from all he could see were 5 seeds lying on the table that had obviously fell out of the pot. He uncovered the ones in the pot and scattered the seeds into the pot with the rest of them. He could have sworn he heard whispered thanks as he covered them with the earth again.
He chuckled nervously to himself. He wouldn't be telling anyone about this. He really like Luna and didn't want to scare her off. He also liked the fact that since the events of last year he had become better friends with Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny. Luna was different she sparkled. He nodded to himself no he couldn't risk the thought that Luna and the others think him mad - he would definitely not mention that incident.
Hands appeared over his eyes and a dreamy voice said "guess who"?
He smiled he was making the right decision.
