A/N

So sorry I haven't updated AT all for the last....I don't know how long its been. Oh well, here's a chapter who've been waiting for!

Chapter 2: Luna Lovegood

Care of Magical Creatures

I sighed. Wasn't life just great? Almost half the term was over and you were going to die in the middle of summer. Yep life was great. I turned my attention to Ryo as he tried climbing up a tree without flying. I already read a book about Centaurs so it's not like I'm missing information about them, plus you can't hear a thing from back here, what with all the whispering and gossiping and what-not. I find Ryo failing much more interesting then Hagrid terrifying Slytherin's by making them go up centaurs and 'pet' them.

I was at the back of the large group (surprisingly) so I could scan the area for unknown species.

-beep-

-beep-

-beep-

-bee-BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP!!!!!!!!!-

Unknown species spotted in large bush, must go find out who this is.

I easily slipped away from the group leaving my books and grabbing my wand. I walk silently into the forbidden forest until I was sure no one could hear me. Then I ran after where the unknown species was before.

I reached the area but found no one there. I stood to catch my breath for a while before deciding to head back, but then I heard a rustling in the bushes and went to investigate.

"Hello, Hermione," said a dreamy soft voice. The voice I recognised as Luna Lovegood's voice.

"Hello, Luna," I said approaching her. She grabbed a piece of meat from her bag that she had around her and threw it up in midair, where it suddenly disappeared. I stood shell shocked for a while until Luna spoke again:

"They really are amazing Thestrals, you know?"

"No, I don't know. I don't even know what they look like."

"Oh well, they are a bit like horses, only black and incredibly thin with wings."

"So like a very thin Pegasus?"

"Exactly."

I watched as she threw another piece of meat in the air. I also watched as it disappeared. Amazing.

"I didn't know Hermione Granger skipped class?" Luna asked turning to me.

"Oh no, I already know everything about the subject, and it wasn't interesting and it's not like it's the first time I get in trouble-"

"You ramble too much."

"I do not ramble."

"Yes you do, you just did."

"That doesn't count."

"Yes it does."

"No it doesn't."

Luna sighed happily. I turned my head and saw Ryo and Asuka looking at us.

"Hello, and you are?" Luna said holding her hand out towards Ryo.

My eyes widened. She could see them!?! Well it wouldn't make any difference, 'cause no one believed Luna, but still.

"Y-you can see us too!?!" Ryo exclaimed.

"Why yes of course."

"That's odd."

"Not really, you see I've seen someone die, so I am able to see almost everything. That's why my name is Loony Lovegood. It's not very nice, but you learn to live with it. You can't help but be special."

Now that explains it! But wait, last year Harry saw Cedric die…does that mean? Well it explains why he asked what was pulling the carriage but still…

"Does that mean Harry can see them too!" I blurted out.

"Well he did see Cedric die, but I sort of really full believe in them. I don't think Harry will. He might just half see them…but I doubt it really."

I gave a sigh of relief. If Harry found out about me dying he would go berserk and do everything to stop it.

Defence Against The Dark Arts

"Now class," said Umbridge. "In this DADA we will not be using wands. We will nice, simple work. With these, you will read until page 64."

She waved her wand and the giant stack of books that were on her desk flew everywhere. When one landed on my desk I took a good look at it. This wouldn't help us against Voldemort. I raised my hand.

"Professor Umbridge, these have nothing to do with DADA. How are they supposed to help us fight dark magic?"

"You don't need to fight dark magic, for there is none. These are nice and simple books to help us learn."

"But we need to learn how to fend for our self!" Harry complained.

"But there is no one who you need to defend yourself from, now is there?"

"How about Lord Voldemort!" Harry exclaimed rather loudly so the whole class went quiet. I looked at Umbriidge. She was fidgeting and playing with her hands, trying to say something. Finally she said:

"See me in my office, after class."

A few hours later

I sat fidgeting on the common room sofa. I couldn't focus on my book. Everytime the portrait opened I shut my book, so I kept forgetting which page I was on and had to start over. I didn't really come far. As a matter of fact I only came a few pages until Harry came back.

"Harry!" I said, my lips forming a smile.

He smiled back weekly at me, so I frowned. Something was wrong.

"Harry, is something wrong?"

"No."

Simple, plan answer. Now I know something is wrong.

"Tell me what's the matter Harry," I said moving over so he could sit. He sat down and took out a book and started reading. I saw his hand and the red marks on it. So I grabbed it for a closer inspection.

"Harry!" I gasped. "W-what happened!?!"

"Nothing," he mumbled taking his hand out of mine, closing his book and leaving for the boy dormitories.

I stared at his back as he disappeared. I bit my lip and looked down at my book. My vision was getting blurry so I gathered my stuff and went to the girl dormitories. No Parvati and Lavender. Well, not like they could understand why I was like this. I dropped my books on my desk and sat down on my bed. I took a photograph of Ron, Harry and me laughing together after Harry's Quiditch match. I want to help Harry. He know's he can always come to me with his problems. Why isn't he letting me in? He's closing me out.

My vision became blurry again, but this time I let my tears fall. I heard the gentle splash as they hit the glass frame. I knew Asuka and Ryo were there. But it doesn't matter. Not anymore.
