Christmas, Cookies, and Crumple-Horned-Snorkacks (Leah's POV)

"Guys, you HAVE to come over for Christmas. Mum makes the bestest cookies ever!" Fred exclaimed happily as we parted ways at King's Cross.

"Du-uh!" I cried, trying to awkwardly hug him.

"Leah, did you take your potions lately?" Mum asked sternly.

"Errrm, yes?" No, I did not. Madam Pomfrey says that if I don't then I won't get better as fast.

"Leah!" Ugh, mothers.

"Well ex-CUSE me!"

I hobbled warily out of the Weasley's fireplace. A gaggle of red-heads attacked me. One blonde girl sat alone staring out the window, so she was the one I approached first.

"Hi, I'm Leah, what's your name?" I asked politely, sitting next to her on the windowsill.

"Luna," she replied in a sing song voice.

"Pretty. Are you going to Hogwarts soon?"

"Next year, actually. What about you?"

"I'm a first year. Gryffindor and proud!"

"I would like to be in Gryffindor, but my daddy says that I am way too smart." I smiled evilly, getting an idea.

"I'll teach you to be a Gryffindor." Her face lit up and her big blue eyes sparkled.

"Would you? Really?" I nodded and motioned for her to follow me outside. My friends followed, too.

"Hey Princess, what're you doing with Loony?" Fred asked.

"Her name is Luna. I'm teaching her to be brave." I can't believe they called her Loony! Ugh, this was not good.

"Yeah yeah, whatev. We're going inside to have some cookies." Like I care what they do in there.

"So, Luna, what 'brave' things have you done?" she sighed and got all dreamy.

"Well, Daddy and I go hunt Crumple-Horned- Snorkacks often," she said. Uh, WHAT?

"What are they?"

"No one knows, they are a mystery we are waiting to solve."

"Ummm ok?"
