After a few weeks had passed, everyone at Hogwarts was getting used to the fact that Malfoy and I were dating. The Slytherins didn't care too much. I was from Ravenclaw so it didn't matter. But if I were from Gryffindor or Hufflepuff it'd be a whole different story.
Pansy Parkinson didn't seem to be taking things very well. Everytime Malfoy and I would walk by her, or if we were sitting at the table, she would give me dirty looks.
Harry seemed to be in the same boat as Pansy. I hadn't talked to him forever, but everytime I'd see him when I was with Malfoy, he would give Malfoy a look of deepest loathing I'd ever seen.
But I enjoyed being with Malfoy. He was so different than he usually was. When we weren't in class, we would be down by the lake laying on a blanket while in each others' arms. Or we would walk around the grounds holding hands and talking.
It was the first Saturday in October, meaning that it was the first Hogsmeade visit this year. I hurried down the marble staircase to meet Malfoy so we could go together. I was searching for him when I accidentally ran into someone. I looked to see who it was and saw Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.
"Oh, hi," I said. "Sorry about that."
"It's ok," said Harry. He didn't smile or anything, just looked at me. I knew why he was doing this, because I was dating Malfoy and not him.
"Oh, we need to be going," said Hermione, sensing something coming. "Bye Luna."
"Bye," I said as they left. Harry turned to look at me one more time and then walked out the door. I stood there looking after them. Then someone came up and hugged me from behind. When they kissed me on the cheek, I knew it was Malfoy.
"You ready to go?" he asked me.
"Yeah," I said as we grabbed hands and walked out into the sunlit grounds.
We reached Hogsmeade about 10 minutes later. The streets were really crowded from the Hogwarts students. Malfoy and I went to Zonko's first and got all kinds of things. Then we went to Honeyduke's, the best shop in the world. Malfoy and I got a lot of sweets, though not as much as Crabbe and Goyle.
Towards the end of the trip, we dicided to go into the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer. We chose a booth in the back. Crabbe and Goyle went up to get four butterbeers for everyone. We all sat and talked for a while when we decided to go.
Before we left, I realized I needed to use the restroom. I told everyone they could wait for me outside.
As I walked out of the bathroom 3 minutes later, I saw something on the corner of the bar that caught my eye. It was a black book. I started to walk away from it, figuring someone had just set it there when curiousity got the better of me. I walked over to it and picked it up. For some reason the book seemed to mean something. I opened it up to the inside page to see who it belonged to. The name inside said "J. Brown".
Who's J. Brown? I thought. The only Brown I knew was Professor Brown, though I didn't know what his first name was.
This might be his book. I wondered if I should take it.
Just then Madame Rosemerta walked by behind the counter.
"Excuse me," I said to her and she turned around. "Do you know who left this book here?"
"No idea dear," she said. "Do you know who it belongs to?"
"There's a name in here," I said, "and I might know who it is. Do you mind if I take it and see?"
"Go ahead dear," said Madame Rosemerta.
I turned and walked out of the pub with the book. Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle were waiting for me just outside.
"What took you so long?" asked Malfoy. Then he eyed the book. "And what is that?"
"This?" I said looking at the book. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just someone's book and I'm returning it to them."
"Oh, ok," Malfoy said and we walked through the crowd of Hogsmeade on our way back to Hogwarts.
A/N: Yes, I know it's short again. A few of the chapters are going to be kind of short. But not really short! Review!
