Hi! I was planning on waiting another week for updating this story, but I've finished the chapter a little early. I'm thinking about making Rolf a potential second love interest for Luna (as they are canonically married) but I'm sure yet. He will never be very be important though.


Unfindable necklace

Blaise was able to function like usual again, but only during the day. At night his thoughts could roam free and he became irritable and high-strung.

Just after curfew he was pacing back and forth through the common room.

He decided to go for a walk through the castle to empty his mind. The boy knew that Draco was the prefect on patrol that night so he was sure he wouldn't get in trouble.

He soon walked into three small and nervous Slytherins who looked as if they were snapped. Probably some first years who where out after curfew for the first time. He walked up to them with his face stern, trying to scare them even more. One of them seemed like he was about to put on a big mouth and say something insulting but Blaise wouldn't let him. He smiled and said, "have fun on your walk."

"… You're…. You're not angry with us?" the one who had just been about to stand up for the group said.

"Nah man, I'm out here at night too. Seriously, have fun!"

"Thank you, big bro!" the girl from the trio said to him before they ran off.

He laughed. He wasn't used to being called "big bro". For a moment he thought about the possibility that these kids would be coming to him with every little problem like he really was their big brother. He didn't know whether or not he'd like that. It might give him a feeling of power, or it might be annoying as hell, as he usually was a bit of a loner.

He ventured through the halls for quite some time before he decided to go back. After nearly running into filch he quickened his pace and nearly stumbled over something on the floor. Soon he realized that this something was actually someone. And he knew exactly who this someone was.

"Luna?" he asked in a shocked voice. What the hell was she doing on the floor in the middle of the night?

"Hi Blaise. I didn't think I'd see you here. Would you mind helping me for a bit?"

He shrugged. "Sure. What can I do?"

"Well, I've lost my necklace around here somewhere this afternoon and I just can't find it. It has great sentimental value."

"Alright, I'll help looking. What does it look like?" He hoped helping her now would clear his conscience.

She smiled so brightly that it made his heart skip a beat for a second. She seemed so happy and it almost felt contagious. Almost.

"It doesn't actually look like anything. The necklace is invisible. Insensible as a whole actually."

Great. She was being crazy again. So this necklace doesn't exist at all? Sentimental value my ass. I don't have time for this, Blaise thought.

For a minute he sat down next to her on the floor and acted like he was actually searching for the necklace. Then he said, "Luna, I think I found it!" He conjured a smile on his face.

"Really!" Her eyes filled with tears of happiness.

What a crazy girl. "Yeah." He held up absolutely nothing in the air to show her. But she seemed to buy it.

She came towards him to get the "necklace". But when she touched the empty space, her expression became grim. "Why are you lying again?" she whispered.

Blaise freaked out a little bit on the inside. He usually didn't get caught with lying. "Why would you say that? I have the necklace right here. Look." He held it up again.

"That's not my necklace. I would recognize the necklace my dad gave me everywhere."

Her dad gave her the necklace? Oh poor girl. Blaise still didn't believe that the necklace was real. "How would you recognize it when it's insensible and invisible?"

"You..." she started as if she wanted to insult him, "You can't sense the necklace, but you also can't sense anything else where the necklace is! What you're holding up… I can sense the air there." The pain was written on her face.

How did this girl manage to make Blaise feel guilty again? Is there actually a possibility that the necklace is real? He noted that he shouldn't mess with her again, as he always ended up feeling guilty. I'm not supposed to feel guilty. I'm a Slytherin!

"It's okay if you don't want to help, but please don't lie anymore. I don't mind searching alone." Her voice sounded dreamy again. Not a single quiver of emotion was shown, but she avoided the boy's eyes, which gave away that she wasn't totally fine.

"Luna, I…" But he couldn't bring himself to finish his sentence. He turned around and walked back to his common room. As he turned around the corner he swore he could hear her say, "See you around, Blaise!" but that seemed too unreal to be true.

That night Luna kept on searching without any luck. At one point she ran into a house elf. The elf promised to let her know if he found something. At about 4h30 in the morning she finally returned to the Ravenclaw tower.

Surprisingly, she wasn't the only one up at that moment. A seventh year boy who she only knew because he was AMAZING at her favourite subject (care for magical creatures) and the grandson of none other than Newt Scamander, was still studying frantically.

Luna leaned over his shoulder to see what he was studying. She discovered he was working on homework for History of Magic and it wasn't going very well. Half of the words on the page were scratched out.

Luckily, as the daughter of a journalist, she knew some things about the subject.

"It wasn't Dupond who first formed a pact with the vampires, it was Veronique Lerouge. Dupond only helped here and there. You should write more on Lerouge."

Rolf Scamander turned his head around in shock like he hadn't expected anyone to be there. Why don't people ever see me coming, Luna thought.

"Thanks for the help, but I think I can figure it out for myself," he sneered. Ah, so he was one of those prickly Ravenclaws who couldn't accept help.

"Your loss," she said, and walked off.

She never actually had time to sleep before breakfast, and it showed. Her uniform was rumpled, her hair was messier than usual and bags showed underneath her eyes. Sarah, the only girl of her year sorted in Ravenclaw other than herself asked about it.

"I lost my necklace and I went searching for it this night," Luna answered.

"That's awful! I know how important it was for you."

"I know, but I fear that I'll never find it, it's one of those insensible necklaces. Have you heard of them?"

"I think I've read about it somewhere I guess. Seems stupid to own one of those, pardon me. But since it's so important to you, I'll help you search. We could even assemble a search party?"

They both agreed on that. Sarah would gather some Ravenclaws and Luna would ask Ginny, who was quite popular, for help. They all agreed to meet after that day's classes because they didn't have their free periods at the same time.
