"see? now you've done it!" said Ron

"Now where did he go?"

"You're playing a rather silly game" said Hermione

"I really don't know what you're traying to prove bu-"se was about to say

"Aaaaaahhrgh!". Someone had screamed.

"What was that?" asked Hermione, almost to herself. Ron looked as if he had seen a giant spider. Very pale and wide eyed.

"It came from that way, from- from that corner" Said Ron pointing to an old statue where a corner was made.

They ran to see what it was and found Harry laying on the floor holding his knee.

"Ouch, ugh, ow, ooh..." Harry was complaining

"Harry!, What happened? Why were you looking so weird? Why did you run?" demanded Ron. He looked very uneasy.

"what? what are you talking about? Ugh,... I think I had too much pumpkin juice...." said Harry, still on the floor and rubbing his knee.

"What are you doing here in the Slytherin hall Harry? and why did you run? Ron here seemed pretty worried you know... or is it one of your silly games together? because if it is I'm sure-"

"What? See, I still don't know what you're talking about. I think I was dreaming or sleep walking, but I couldn't wake up.......so I tried, and when I opened my eyes I bumped into this statue... I've got no idea how I got here though..." Harry looked puzzled.

"No, that can't be" said Ron "You came in to the room looking all foggy and then you just fainted" now Ron looked puzzled.

"yeh... I dunno, maybe I was sleep walking"said Harry after thinking about what Ron had said

"Weird though........"

"Can we just get out of here? please? If we get caught we could get into serious trouble" said Hermione desperately

"We're prefects, remember?" said Ron now more calmly

"I know, but can we please go? this place gives me the chills......"

"Come on" said Harry, now getting up. There was a little blood on his knee from where he had hit himself.

They all started toward their dormitories, it was getting late.

It had been about one month since the incident about Harry and his mysterious behaivior. They didn't talk about it though, because Hermione still thought it was a silly game, Ron was puzzled because he was sure Harry had fainted, and Harry thought he was just sleepwalking. Every time they talked about it they would argue, so they just left it alone.

They were all very excited though, the Gryffindors at least, one Monday when Ginny got a note saying she would be able to go to France where she would make an exchage of student with a girl from Paris. It was unusual, but since they were both training to be witches of the 'Bureau Regarding Omens and Odd Muggles' or also called "B.R.O.O.M" it was quite logical. They had already been writing to each other through owl post.

"This is sooo exciting! Isn't it? I'm going to be exchanged......." She was very happy and every time she would get a chance she would tell you all about it.

Harry couldn't be much happpier, he was very excited for Ginny and he had also not seen very much of Lumia either. She had been absent for almost a whole week.

"Oh my, has anyone seen Lumia?"asked professor Twany one day while in class

"She has missed quite a couple of days... hmm, I think I may just ask the headmaster..." she told almost to herself, everyone else was happily trying to turn a small redish mean crature into a happy purple winged fairy.

Harry didn't mind at all much not having Lumia in class for so many days. He rather enjoyed it. He didn't have to worry about what to say to her when she asked her usual unusually weird questions. Like, as Harry asked himself afterwards, - What good is in asking me on which side of the bed do I like to sleep most?- So, he was enjoying it while it lasted.

"Oh my, I'm sorry... -Excuse me?" she asked the class everyone turned to her.

"Um, sorry I know you're busy, but, can any of you Slytherins take these papers to Miss.Trevoldme, or Lumia I may say, today please?" she asked

"Sorry professor, but I guess you're forgetting that the only Slytherin in this class was her" said one of the Gryffindor girls.

"Oh my, yes, yes, I remember, she took this as a special class, am I right?"

"Yes, I had forgotten" she answered herself.

"Well, can any of you do it, please?" she asked the class again "I'm rather busy, or else I would do it myself..."

Since nobody seemed to answer her, she turned to Seamus.

"Could you do it dear?"she said very sweetly

"I'm sorry professor, but I can't, I still haven't finished the potions paper we're supposed to finishe" he said There were sounds of agreement through the class.

"Oh, pity...well, has any of you finished?"

Harry didn't want to raise his hand, he had actually finished it already because there had been a day off practice in quiditch. He really didn't want to do it. But he thought he could go - Just this once- he said to himself

"uh, professor?"

"Harry, dear, will you?" she seemed relieved

"Sure, I'll take it" he said rather nervous now that he thought about it.

They were sitting at the lunch hour on a table talking.They had just got out of their previous class.

Harry was unusually quiet although they were talking about their last visit to Hogsmade.

"... and that Ultra Sour lollipop that actually turns your face green..." said Ron "That was brilliant!"

Hermione turned to Harry "What's wrong Harry?"

"What happened? Is Lumia back yet?" asked Ron now joining the conversation

Harry turned to them. "No, it's just that, since she hasn't been in class. Well, I have to take some papers to her

"To the Slytherin house?" asked Ron

"Yeah, but I'll go and be back as soon as possible, I don't want to linger around" he said

"Oh don't worry about it" said Hermione cheerfully

"You're right, I shouldn't, I don't know why I worry so much" Harry finally

They finished their food and headed to their next class, Potions. This class they had together. "Thank god" Ron had said " I don't know what I would've done without you with Snape"

"I hope you are all almost or very well done with your paper on the Harper's potion" Snape told them as he entered the class

The class came and went. Harry pretty much daydreamed through it all. For some reason he got very nervous again, for this was the last class of the day and he knew that after this, he had to go and see Lumia.

"Very well" Said Snape "Your paper is do tomorrow" "And it better not be late" he added with warning

"alright Harry, we'll wait for you in the common room" said Hermione after they left the classroom.

"Okay"said Harry as he turned around and walked on the opposite direction.
