I'm unbelievably sorry! Between being busy and having writer's block, I haven't updated in forever. PLEASE don't hate me. This chapter is unbelievably short. I figured I might as well post what I had so far while I groveled for forgiveness.

CHAPTER 67: Breakfast

            Harry stared at Professor Snape.

            A sleepy-eyed Luna Lovegood got up and approached Harry and the others, "Did you really think you could get away? The Headmaster wants you to stay. Your Heads of Houses want you to stay. This means, you aren't going anywhere."

            "Miss Lovegood is correct. It would be best if you resolved your issues as quickly as possible. Only then will you be released. The Headmaster does not wish to have a repeat of the activities that have occurred throughout the school as of late," Snape sneered.

            "Have any of the other groups been released yet?" asked Harry.

            "Two of them. This group remains, as well as the groups Weasley and Granger are apart of." Snape walked away after muttering a spell that put dim light in the room and fastened the door shut once more.

            "How long are we going to stay in here?" Ernie asked uncomfortably.

            Luna shrugged. Her eyes far away.

            "I kind of need to be out of here now," Ernie said.

            "So do I," said Harry.

            The other two boys nodded.

            The lights grew a little brighter and they saw four stalls, one in each corner. There was another stall in the middle.

            "Where does this stuff keep coming from?" Draco asked, entering one of the stalls and shutting the door behind him. The rest of them followed suit.

            When they all came out, very much relieved, and washed their hands in the basins of water that had appeared between their going in and coming out, the lights went off again. When the lights came back on, the stalls and basins were gone.

            Luna said dreamily, "Since it's morning now, I think we should have a share time."

            "Morning? We hardly got any sleep," complained Ernie.

            She glanced at him, "It's not my fault. I didn't tell you to stay awake all night plotting your escape."

            She had a point.

            "Don't we get any breakfast?" grumbled Draco.

            "You do," she smiled faintly.

            "Where is it?"

            "You've got to cook it."

            "I've never cooked before in my life," he said.

            "We'll have to remedy that. Why don't you work with…" her eyes passed over each boy until she got to Harry. "Harry."

            He'd seen this coming. "No, no. Come on, Luna. Just have a little mercy on me. It'll go faster if  I do this by myself," Harry said.

            "I don't think so. I think Draco should learn to cook and you should learn some teamwork skills," she said distractedly. "Over there are pots, pans, food, a stove, and an oven." She gestured vaguely and when they looked, all those things were occupying one side of the room. "The rest of us can sit at the table and talk."

            "There's no—" started Terry. He was wrong, now, on the other side of the room, there was a table and chairs.

            Harry groaned. This was going to be a very long day. He looked over at Draco as they made their way over to the stove. Draco had a look of pure disgust on his face. A very long day.

Volleypickle16—Thanks

Zeromaru: Chaos Mode—Was it what you thought?

Natalie—Sorry, writer's block and busy schedule.

Smalfrie16—Thanks

Iceflower—Thanks for review. I think you should still write your story. It sounds great.

HYPERdingdong39—Thanks. The plots? Well, the little green monkeys that live behind my eyes whisper them to me when I try to sleep.

FIREFLIGHTS1977—Thanks


BlackBishop—Thanks. Yeah, this is all part of Dumbledore and Luna's master plans!

Emerald Flame—Thanks.

Ugly Duckling—Thanks, I know I'm crazy!

Michaela—Thanks

Athenakittty—Yep, door almost open…

Miss_Padfoot003—Thanks.

Jbfritz—Thanks

DarkLuna—Thanks. My dad and my brother curse, but I don't.

ShanniC—Thanks. Of course they got caught; I couldn't let them off that easily!

Dnd4ever—Thanks. Thanks for explaining.

HPBeatles— :-)

Sewducky—Thanks. I don't know if she was really sleeping or not. Originally it was her who was going to have that snapping line, but then I decided against it. Originally Snape was going to be at the door, then you said that would be predictable, then I decided the best way not to be predictable was to do the most predictable thing! Wow, did that even make sense?

Zesuit—Thanks. I think that's what I'm doing.

If you don't hate me, please review. Again, I am SO sorry.
