Author's note: Any input would be greatly appreciated since I recently came down with a terrible disease commonly known as "Writer's Block". Even something bad, just so I know you're reading it!

What was that all about? Neville asked himself twenty minutes later as he began to walk back to the castle. He tried waiting for Luna to come back, to explain herself. He tried reasoning it out with himself. But all he could come up with was the most absurd idea that had ever flown into his head.

"'I notice everything you do.' What the hell is that supposed to mean? She couldn't possibly – No, that's just stupid. It must be something else." But all the same, his mind kept bringing up a picture of her face, no matter how hard he tried to erase it.

Still thinking of Luna, Neville arrived in the Gryffindor common room, where he found fifth year Ginny Weasley. "Ginny," he said, desperate, "what's up with that Lovegood girl?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, this morning, I found her hidden in the library, crying behind a bookshelf. So I asked her if she wanted to talk, and we went out by the lake, where she said that she 'notices everything I do'. Then, she just ran off like a maniac without saying another word."

Ginny giggled. "It's no wonder Hermione gets mad at having to explain these things to Harry and Ron, boys are so stupid sometimes. Luna… Well, Luna fancies you. But do NOT let her know that I told you. She would never forgive me."

"Oh. Thanks. And don't worry. I won't tell her."

Neville went up to his dormitory, feeling a lot better about himself.
