Disclaimer: If I owned them, I wouldn't be wasting my time making fan fics. But since I don't own them and I like writing fan fics, I'm just going to continue on and thank JK for all of her wonderful characters that she's letting me borrow!

The news that Malfoy and I were dating again spread through the school pretty quickly.

"I didn't think people would really care," I told Malfoy one day. "It's really no big deal."

It was now January and my mind wondered upon the book I had found in Hogsmeade a couple of months ago.

For some reason I felt like I had to read it, find out all of the information about the veil.

At the end of one of my Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, I had my chance.

"Professor Brown?" I asked as I approached his desk.

"Yes, Miss Lovegood?" Brown said as he shuffled some papers around.

"Um, I was wondering maybe, if it was ok, if I could borrow that book of yours. You know, the one about the veil."

Brown looked up at me. He looked as though he didn't expect this question.

"Oh," he said, "sure. You can borrow it. It's in my office, if you want to come with me to get it."

I followed him to his office. It was clean and well kept except for the clutter of papers and books on his desk.

"Here it is," Brown said after he dug through one of the drawers.

"Thanks," I said when he handed it to me.

"Luna, can I ask you something?" said Brown.

"Sure, professor," I said. He sounded kind of serious.

"Well, I was wondering how you knew about the veil to begin with."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you had told me that you had been to the Department of Mysteries before. Why?"

"Um," I didn't want to get in trouble for going there. "I only went there last year with a few people. I'm not sure why we went, though."

"Oh," said Brown. He looked down at the book. "Did you know about the veil before?"

I was taken aback. I didn't expect all this. "Sort of. When I was 10 I had this dream about a place where I could hear people speaking, only I couldn't see them. The dream seemed real."

"Do you know how to get there again?" Brown looked back up at me.

Why is he asking me all these questions?, I thought.

"I might. I mean, it's been a while. Why do you want to know?"

Brown walked over and handed me the book.

"I think you'll find the answer in here," he said and smiled.

I took the book and looked up at him. The sunlight played against his hair, making a golden shine.

"Well I'd better go," I said. "Draco's probably wondering where I'm at." I turned to leave.

"Right," Brown said. "So you guys finally got back together?"

"Yeah," I said as I reached the door. "I didn't know it was that big a deal."

"Yes, well, things like that tend to go around fast. Especially in a school."

I smiled. "See you later, professor." I turned and walked out.

"Good bye," said Brown.

I walked back to my dormitory. I kept thinking about why Brown wanted to know all of those things.

When I reached my bed, I saw something on my pillow. I put the book in one of my drawers and looked back at my pillow.

It was a piece of parchment, a letter from someone. I picked it up and opened it.

I recognized the handwriting at once. It was from Malfoy. I smiled at the thought of him. I read the letter.

Dear Luna,

I have a surprise for you. Meet me tonight in the Prefects' bathroom on the fourth floor. Go to the statue of Boris the Bewildered. The password is 'wildberries'. I'll be there as soon as everyone's asleep. Hope to see you there.

Love always,

Draco

My heart was racing when I finished the letter.

"He has a surprise for me!" I said aloud.

I layed down on my bed thinking about Malfoy. I looked to see what time it was. Only 9:15.

It will be forever until tonight, I thought. But waiting would be worth it.
