Recap:

"You know, Luna," Dumbledore started.

"Yes?" Luna asked.

"Madam Pompery could've woken her up," he replied.

"I know but this way was faster, and it got there feelings out in the open finally," she replied.

"Good thinking, Luna," Dumbledore replied.

This time:

Harry noticed that when had Dumbledore returned to his office with two cats following behind him as he entered. He recognized them to be Serenity and Darien's cats and after a few minutes Harry was drawn out of his thoughts by Dumbledore's voice.

"Harry, you can go back to class now, tell Professor Snape everything will be fine and that Darien will be along in a few minutes," Dumbledore replied.

"Yes, professor…if you don't mind me asking what happened?" asked Harry.

"I'm not sure, when Miss Moon awakes I'm sure she'll enlighten me on the events that had happened," Dumbledore replied.

"Sere's hurt? Can I go see her now?" Harry asked.

"You can visit her after classes are over today, I'm sure your friends will want to accompany you. Now off to class," Dumbledore replied.

"Yes, Professor," Harry replied as he got up and left the office.

"Dumbledore, the dark lord has made the first move," Luna replied after Harry had left.

"Where did he attack?" Dumbledore asked.

"The Princess said it was a small town near by, but only she knows what town was hit. I believe she also erased the minds of everyone that was there," replied Luna.

"Why would she do that?" Dumbledore asked.

"To keep the dark lord in the dark about her return as long as possible," replied Artemis.

"I can't blame her, but why did she use so mush of her power?" Dumbledore asked.

"I don't know if she meant to, it may have been a lot further away then she let on," replied Luna.

"Or it could because she hasn't used that amount of power in such a long time that she simply wore herself out," replied Artemis.

"That is also another option that there is to consider…and if that is the case she should start training herself once again," replied Luna.

"Once she is out of the hospital wing, I will set up a room for you to use whenever she may need to," replied Dumbledore.

"Potter, come here," Professor Snape replied when he spotted Harry entering the room once again.

"Yes, Professor?" he asked.

"What did Dumbledore say?" Snape asked.

"He said that everything is fine and Darien would be along in a few minutes after he dropped Serenity at the hospital wing," replied Harry.

"Thank you Potter now take a seat and finish your assignment," Snape replied.

"Yes, Professor," Harry replied and then went and took his seat next to his friends Ron and Hermione.

"Harry, what happened?" asked Hermione.

"I would tell you if I knew, but I don't," he whispered as he added the last ingredient to his potion he was brewing.

"I'm sure we'll find out somehow," replied Ron as finished up with his potion.

"You're Late," Professor Snape replied as Darien entered the room.

"I'm sure Professor it won't happen again. I do have a note from the headmaster as to why I am late," he replied and handed the note to Snape which made his growl.

"It says I'm not to punish you for being late because you were helping a fellow student get to the hospital wing, is that correct Shields?" Snape asked.

"Yes, Professor," Darien replied.

"Well that doesn't excuse you from the assignment, Mr. Shields, I will expect you Saturday after lunch is finished to complete the missing assignment," Snape replied. "And the same goes for Miss Moon be sure to inform her," he added as he walked back to his desk.

"Yes, Professor," he replied as he made his way towards Harry and his friends.

"What happened?" asked Harry. "Why is Serenity in the hospital wing?" he added quickly.

"I'll fill you in after class, we don't want to upset the Professor anymore," Darien replied as he started to take the notes that were on the board.

Harry shot Ron and Hermione a questioning glare that said what-in-hell-in-going-on.

'What am I going to tell them happened? I'll have to think of something before the class is over…' Sirius thought to himself as he was writing the notes down.

'Sirius, we'll tell them that I fell down a flight of stairs on the way to the great hall,' Serenity's voice replied.

'Sere? Is that you? You can read minds also?' he asked.

Sirius then heard a giggle in his head and then Serenity's voice saying, 'yes I have always been able to do it. Didn't you ever wonder why Lily and I always broke out laughing when no one said anything?'

'That's how?' he replied.

'Yes, but now on to more important matters, do you think that they will buy that?' Serenity replied.

'Not really sure…we could say that when the stairs were moving you weren't watching where you were going and you fell off one of the stair cases,' he replied.

'No one is that dumb, Sirius, there is a trip step on one of the stair cases remember?' she asked.

'You should remember you put it there,' Sirius replied.

'Oh yeah I did didn't I? But that is not the point is the point is that they don't know that…' Serenity began.

Sirius' head flew back and he said, 'Sere! Are you alright?'

'Yes, I'm fine no need to yell, Dumbledore just came in to see how I was,' Serenity paused. 'We'll just say that I've have an illness that they don't know what is yet, and I have fainting spells every now and then," she finished.

'Alright that'll work. When are you going to be out of the hospital wing?' Sirius asked.

'Well I'd gather around breakfast tomorrow with the way that I'm being treated…well that'll be the earliest. I need to get off here before that,' she replied.

'Why do you need to get out before that?' he asked.

'I need to start training,' she replied.

'Training for what?' he asked.

'I need to start training myself to use my full powers once again. I haven't used them in so long…I've been lazy while I was at home thinking that it was peaceful and I wouldn't be needed again. But I see now that I was wrong,' she replied.

'Is there anything I can do to help?' he asked.

'Yes, you will need to keep Harry and his friends from finding out where I'm going every night for the next few weeks. Even though it might not seem like very much it is a lot,' she replied.

'I know and understand I will try my best,' he replied as Professor Snape dismissed class for that day.

"Hey, Darien what happened to Serenity?" Harry asked.

"I'm not sure if I'm the one to tell you that…you see it's her thing to tell," he replied as they walked to there next class.

"Do you think that she will be alright?" asked Ron.

"She'll be fine, Ron all she needs is to rest," he replied as they arrived outside of there next class. "Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go inform the Professor about Serenity's absence," he added as they entered in the class room.

Harry watched Darien as he crossed the classroom and spoke with the Professor.

"He's not telling the truth," Hermione replied.

"How do you know?" Ron asked.

"I just have this feeling," she replied.

"Oh it's just a feeling," he replied.

"I don't know what to think, but I don't think he told us everything," Harry replied as they sat down in there seat.
