Chapter 6:
Luna Lovegood is awakened by Hannah Abbott "Wake up sleepy head!"
"Um what" She says sitting up in bed and looking around rubbing her temples, "how did I get here?"
Hannah shrugs "I don't know, you came up after I went to bed." Hannah said.
"Ok, thanks for waking me up." Luna says continuing to rub her temples.
"Are you alright?" Hannah asks concerned.
"Um...what... oh I'm fine, just a little headache" Luna replice.
"Ok, hurry up we're going to be late for class!" Hannah says before leaving the room.
She slowly walks into charms class still trying to figure out how she had ended up in bed. She wasn't really paying attention in class. She was copying something from the board when an image of Professor Gertrude popped into her head. Confused she stopped writing and didn't realize that Professor Flitwick had called on her.
"Miss Lovegood can you answer the question please?"
She looks up slowly blushing "Sorry Professor, could you repeat the question?"
"Can you please state the enlargement charm?" Professor Flitwick asked.
"It is ergorgio sir" Luna says.
"Very good, now I want you all to practice this spell now. Then we will work on the shrinking charm!" Professor Flitwick said.
The rest of the class went by quickly. Luna was trying to concentrate on the spell but her thoughts kept going back to last night.
"How did I get to bed last night?" she thought trying to figure it out. She raised her wand and says "reducio" shrinking the object in front of her back to its regular size.
The rest of the day went pretty much the same, she couldn't concentrate on anything. She sighs as she lays down on one of the couch in the Hufflepuff common room after classes. She doesn't realize it but she is soon asleep. She starts dreaming that she is out in Transilvania with her father searching for the "vampire pixie." (A small pixie like creature that only comes out at night. They don't hurt you if the bite you but are very mischious.) Suddenly she is face to face with Professor Gertrude. Professor Gertrude slowly raises her wand and opens her mouth to speak but Luna wakes up in a cold sweat. She looks up to see Hannah looking down at her.
"Are you alright?" she asks.
Trying to slow down her breathing, she replies "I'm fine, thanks for asking." She realizes her headack is back.
"Ok, well its time for dinner" Hanna replies.
"K lets go!" she says getting up. She follows Hannah out of the common room and down to the grand hall. She quickly eats and tells the others around her that she is going to bed. She returns to her room and is asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow.
Once again she is dreaming that she is with her father, they had just caught a "Vampire Pixie" and had put it into a cage. She turns to bring the cage out to the car outside the building but suddenly she is once again face to face with Professor Gertrude and it's the same as before. Professor Gertrude raises her wand and opens her mouth and Luna wakes up. She looks out the window and notices its dark outside. She sighs rubbing her temple, wondering why she can't get rid of the headack or the feeling that she saw and/or heard something and had to tell Harry. She doesn't sleep well the rest of the night, the dream keeps returning.
After a few days of the dream returning she was beginning to feel very tired and worn down. The dream was taking its toll on her mind and body. The feeling of something important kept returning to her. What did she have to tell him? She had to tell someone, something. This was driving her nuts. But who? She was walking down the hall with a blank look on her face. The next thing she knows she felt a hand on her arm. She shakes her head and looks up.
"Luna are you alright?" Ginny asked
Luna looks at Ginny for a moment thinking not saying anything.
"Luna I'm worried about you!' Ginny said 'Can we meet after dinner to talk?"
Luna sighs softly "Sure Ginny, that would be great!" she says trying to smile.
"Ok, that's great; can we meet in the charms room after dinner?" Ginny says.
Luna nods "k, see you later" she says before walking off.
Luna spends the rest of the day and dinner in her thoughts not really talking to anyone. After dinner she heads to the charms room. She arrives before Ginny and sits at one of the tables. Falling asleep, the dream returns. She wakes up in a cold sweat like all the other times and sees Ginny.
"Luna are you alright?" Ginny asks concerned.
Luna shakes her head tears in her eyes "no I don't think so Ginny, something's wrong with me but I don't know what!"
"What do you mean Luna?" Ginny asks sitting beside her.
"I...I've had this headack for days now and it will not go away and I have a feeling I should tell Harry something but I don't know what?"
"Tell Harry something' Ginny asks concerned 'you think you're in danger?"
Luna shrugs "I don't know if I'm in danger or anyone else, just that....I've been dreaming of Professor Gertrude lately!"
"Professor Gertrude?" Ginny asks.
Luna nods "The other night, I don't remember heading to bed but that is were I woke up, and I keep having this dream of Professor Gertrude raising at me and opening her mouth to speak but I always wake up at the point."
"Weird' Ginny says 'but do you think that's enough to really tell Harry. Maybe she was just helping you with a spell?"
Luna shakes her head "I don't think so Ginny. I walked into the Defense against the Dark Arts class going to ask Gertrude for help and the next thing I know I was waking up in bed. Classes have been hectic but I really needed the extra help and I don't think I got it!"
Ginny lightly places a hand on Luna's shoulder really concerned about her friend. She sighs trying to figure out what to do. Should she get Luna to tell Harry about this or should she. After what she had heard the trio say before she was not sure what to do. "Do they really worried about the new professor?" she thinks.
