Bigreader: grins lol, well, I hope you enjoy this chappie!!! Don't worry, the wait is shorter this time…I hope.

Lisa: I don't know what happened to chapter 10…I'll have to re post it…thanks for telling me something was wrong, or else I would have never noticed. Well, later!

MissyNoGrace: Yes, I realise it was short, but I was never any good at Hogsmead chappies, and plus…I am having a major case of writers block! I apologise. That sucks, ur not allowed to be miserable? I am almost friends with every one, but they still call me Deamon Child cuz of the cloths I wear, and…well, I have never been one to control my temper. If you piss me off, you'll hear about it…and so will the rest of the school. Pity the loser that makes me angry! This grade SEVEN decided she thought I looked like a Hooker Goth and decided to spread her point of view…bad idea. I had the my whole grade after her within minutes. It was funny! But, even though I seem hyper, head strong, and arrogantly amused, nobody finds it strange when I become quite, and even a little depressed for a few days. I get over it, then become hyper again. It all works out. Most ppl are nice to me though. Even if they aren't, it doesn't matter much. Only one person ever ACTUALLY hurt my feelings, and I have hated him since.

Frogs Rok: lol, no worries, here is the next chappie!

gin rose raposo1: Thanks for the encouragement!

Ami-ImaTomLOVER: Lol, well, your wait is over! Here is the next chappie!

Violets-in-Spring: grins yes, the fluff is taking a while, but it is defiantly ther. Slowly, their need for each other is chipping away at their self control…so soon, there will be a kiss. I promise!!!

DarkFaerieyMagick: Well, you see, if you weren't such a good reviewer, I would let my aliens sick you…buuuut, you are so nice that I need to give you a break!!!! So yes, my aliens are going on an anti-eggplant diet!!!

Annabeave: grins patience, young one…though, you are probably older than I…yes, I am quite young… the passion is coming, actually, it is already here…not in this chapter…but I am planning a defiant kiss in the near future! Enjoy!

LoyalRose: Lol. Wow, our lives are pretty messed up huh? I've been having it easy lately though. Every ones been nice, even that guy I told you about, the one I want to slug. He hasn't insulted me in three days. That's a record! Lol, the last chapter wasn't one of my best, and it was really short. I just hope this one is longer. I can't really control how long my chapters are. It's like they decide for themselves. It depends on what order they came out in. You know? I have plans for Luna in the near future, maybe even in this chapter. I don't know. I'll have to wait and see. I hope my words co-operate with me today, also the characters. Lately it seems I can never make my ideas do what I want them to…wish me luck!

A/N Okay guys. My good friend, Layb, (a wolf, believe it or not) is very sick. The wild life vet said he might die. I have know Layb (short for Labyrinth) ever since he was a little pup and his eyes were still blue. We have grown close and even seem to be able to communicate at times. Usually when I am very sleepy and not thinking straight. He comes and goes from my house as he pleases, we have a special doggie door just his size…which is pretty big. My house is just on the edge of the woods where he lives, so he doesn't have to go far to get home. I know his whole pack, and I have for a long time. Please, think of Layb, for me. He is one of my best of friends and I don't want him to die. He has to stay in the house unless the other wolves catch what he has. And he is terribly depressed. So please, remember him, and cross your fingers for his good health!

Chapter Thriteen: Raven Feathers and a Vision

Blaise sighed. It was his turn to patrol. He was bored out of his mind. Nobody seemed to come into the tunnels anymore, well, except for the little Gryffendor Kitten that Draco was so fond of. Blaise had now gone a full month with out sex. He seriously needed some action. But most girls in the other houses had become petrified of Slytherin men…and for good reason too. There was no way he was going to seduce one of the Slytherin girls. He almost puked from justlooking at them. He sighed again. Mulling over his own self-pity. Not that he did this often, but even he was aloud a break now and then. He leaned against one of the black dungeon stone walls and tried to amuse himself with the image of him and a faceless female, entwined together on his bed, lost in passion…then he realised he was daydreaming. Yuck, how girly…

'I seriously need some action…' he thought to himself in disgust. He was starting to lose it. Suddenly he snapped out of his trance and pushed off from the wall. Some one was coming. A girl with silvery blond hair was dashing towards him, here eyes blinded with tears. A nightgown fashioned in the Ravenclaw blue. He gazed at her, she was familiar, and he wondered what upset her so. She didn't see him, and was about to run right by when he caught her arm. She let out a hollow cry and tried to pull away in fear.

"I won't hurt you," He said, confused. "Calm down now." She clung to him, shaking her head and sobbing.

"He-he, he wouldn't!" She hiccoughed and struggled on with her explanation, too distressed to even realise who she was talking too. Blaise waited for her to continue, noting that her eyes did not swell up and become red when she cried.

"Wouldn't what, love?" He asked her gently. He still couldn't figure out who the hell she was, though she seemed so familiar.

"G-ginny, they want, her…her-ring…the-they're, going-going to," she made a noise somewhere between a hiccough and a wet sob, "-kill her…NO!!!!" She tried to run away again but Blaise held her steady, then almost let her go as he realised who this was. This was Luna Lovegood. The Kitten's best friend. He had to find out what she was talking about. If someone was going to kill Malfoy's Kitten, Blaise would have to tell him. He shuddered and pitied who ever was plotting to kill that Kitten. Draco would surely put them though a long and Painful death. Blaise had never missed how Draco's eyes softened every time his kitten waked into the room.

"Come on, little Raven Feather. Lets get you washed up." Blaise said softly, and lead her to one of his secret rooms. He stopped in front of a stone snake statue andwhispered: "Viper Toxin". The huge snake slid out of the way, with a quiet sound of stone grinding against stone. He led Luna in and sat her on the small bed. The room was around the size of a small bathroom. All there was in it was a trunk, a bed, a chair, and a small fireplace that was always lit. Blaise pulled out his wand and poofed up a glass of water, then handed it to Luna, who sipped it carefully. Blaise sat on the small oak chair and waited for her to finish, and calm down a little. When she was finally clam enough to speak. Blaise scooted to chair closer to the bed.

"Are you okay?" He asked her. She nodded her head shakily, and drew in a quivering breath. "Tell me about these people that want to kill your friend." Luna regarded him with something very much like mistrust, but decided she would confide in him.

"Malfoy, he wants to kill Ginny." Blaise almost lost his composure.

"Draco!?" He blurted. Luna's eyes widened in surprise.

"No! Notthat Malfoy. Lucius Malfoy!" Luna said, and Blaise calmed down considerably.

"Ginny has this ring, it gives her the power to see in the dark." Draco's ring… Blaise thought.

"Lucius wants it for he-who-must-not-be-named…but Lucius knows that you can not steal the ring. The person must give it up willingly, or die. So, he is going to kill her." Luna finished, as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.

"How does you-know-who know that Weasley has the ring?" Blaise asked. Malfoy didn't even know yet.

"The dark Lord knows all…" Luna replied quietly. Her eyes filling with silent tears of fear.

"How do you know all of this?" He asked her.

Luna looked at him, as if deciding whether or not he deserved to know. "I had a vision…"

"You're a seer?" Luna scrunched up her nose in disgust.

"Your making me sound like Trelewany! Yuck, no…I just have very…accurate dreams I guess." Blaise couldn't help but be amazed. This girl had unspeakable power…and she wasn't afraid of him…he shook his head in disbelief.

"I think you should stay here tonight. I will watch over you so you don't go running around like a mad lunatic again. These dungeons are dangerous, my little Raven Feather. Luna nodded, understanding the intelligence of this, then suddenly looked thoughtful.

"What do you do that?" She asked suddenly. Blaise was confused.

"Do what?" He didn't have Draco's ability to read people, so he didn't know what she meant.

"Call me Raven Feather. Malfoy does it too, he calls Ginny Kitten. Why don't you use our birth names?" She asked. Blaise cocked his head to one side.

"Does it bother you?"

"Well…no, it is just, curious…" Luna said, looking at her hands. Blaise smirked.

"Sleep, Raven Feather. All will be well in the morning." He said without answering her question, thenhe left to stand guard at the door. Luna Lovegood fascinated him.

A/N There, that one was a little longer now wasn't it? I know there was no Draco/Ginny action, and the 'Draco Twitches' may come…buuuut, too bad! I am thinking making the next chapter the Christmas chapter, and if not, the train ride chapter…I dunno, I may do both in one chapter. We'll just have to see! So, tata for now! I want at least twenty reviews before I update next!! No whining! I could ask for sixty, but, I am too soft for that!!!! I just really need the moral boost. I'm really worried about Layb…
