A/N: Thanks again for all of your reviews!
Disclaimer: I wished I owned them! But I don't.
Malfoy and I stood in the entrance hall at dinner that night as the other Hogwarts students filed in the Great Hall. I kept searching through the crowd for Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Can we hurry and get this over with?" said Malfoy getting frustrated. He didn't like the idea of being around Harry and the others.
"Just wait a moment," I said, still searching. "They'll be here."
At that point, I saw Harry in the crowd. He saw me and came over. With him were Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.
"What are you doing here?" I asked Ginny.
"I overheard Ron and Harry talking about it this afternoon and I asked if I could join in," said Ginny.
"Oh, ok," I said.
"So are we ready?" asked Harry. I could tell he was anxious to leave.
"We need to wait for Professor Brown," I said, looking around for him.
In a few minutes time we were the only ones standing there in the entrance hall while everyone else was eating dinner. Then, not too long afterwards, Professor Brown showed up.
"Sorry I'm late," he said, "but I had to tell Dumbledore that I wouldn't be making it to dinner because of certain reasons."
"Good," said Harry. "Let's go."
We all walked outside into the cool, night breeze. The moonlight was reflecting off the lake, giving it a more eerie look. We made our way across the grounds to the forrest.
"How do we know where to find the thestrals?" I asked looking over at Harry. He gazed around.
"I see one," he said, pointing over to our right. I looked to that direction. The thestral was coming near us.
"Make sure you tell me where it's at so it won't step on me," said Ron looking around.
"It's ok, Ron," said Harry. "It's right here by me. Here come some more."
"Do you think there will be enough for all of us?" asked Brown.
"I hope so," said Harry, petting one of the thestrals.
I counted to see how many there were.
"We only have four and there's seven of us."
"That's fine," said Harry. "Ron and Hermione can have one, you and Malfoy can have another one, me and Ginny will have one, and Professor, you can have the last one."
"Ok," said Brown walking up to the thestral nearest to him.
We all got seated down. Malfoy, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all needed help getting on. They couldn't see the thestrals at all and it was quite funny!
Once we were all comfortable, we took off. Malfoy grabbed me tightly around my waist. I made him sit in back. He kept looking down and mumbling stuff.
"Just close your eyes, Draco," I said. "We'll be there soon."
About fifteen minutes later, we landed outside that familiar red phonebooth. We all got off, with Malfoy shaking a bit, and squeezed inside. It was a tight fit. Harry was closest to the phone so he dialed some numbers on it.
"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic," said a woman's voice. "Please state your name and your business for being here."
I decided to speak.
"Luna Lovegood, Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, and Jeremy Brown. We're here to, um, save people?" I looked at Harry. He shrugged his shoulders.
Just then seven buttons came out of the coin return hole. Harry and I passed them out. I looked at mine: Luna Lovegood-Rescue Mission.
Just like last year, I thought.
"Thank you for coming to the Ministry of Magic," said the woman's voice. "Please come again."
The floor started to move. We were sinking down. I knew in a few moments, we would be doing what we came here to do.
A/N: Sorry if the phonebooth part wasn't right. I couldn't really remember how it went!
