a/n: before we start I would like to ask if anyone has a title for this. All the title I'm coming up with are… I don't like them. & I would like to say thank you all for the reviews & sorry for not writing the fight this chapter ;D. Without further ado, a story from me to you.

With the Slytherins:

"What do you mean Draco's gone to help that mudblood girl? He can't have left me here, he wouldn't!" Pansy was really getting on my nerves right now. I know Draco hates her, & tried telling her that, but she won't get it thru her head that Draco isn't here right now, & that she had no say in him leaving. I groaned & walked away instead of trying to convince her again that Draco hates her. It's his job, I shouldn't be the one doing it.

I went done to the lake because it's a rainy day today & Pansy would never think of getting mud on her shoes to come out here. I sat under the tree at the edge of the lake & put my head in my hands. "I don't know how Draco does it, she's a monster."

"Who is?" I hadn't noticed Luna sitting there with me, probably the first time it has ever happened. Luna is beautiful & caring & smart & wonderful & out of my league.

I jumped & looked at her. She was holding a white rabbit & was completely soaked. She was looking at me like she saw all of my secrets. I knew that Draco hated to be looked at by her, because he had secrets he wanted to keep, but I liked how she seemed to accept my secrets, all of them, no matter how bad they are. "What are you doing out here?"

"Mr. McTwisp here thought it would be funny to run away from his owner. If only the Cramdelincs would leave her alone, then this little guy would be much happier."

"What do Cramdelincs do?"

"They close the mind to the idea that animals have thought & can communicate their thoughts."

"How do you know that she wasn't closed minded before the Cramdelincs started to bother her?"

"Wishful thinking." That answer made me laugh. Everything about Luna says to me 'wishful thinking'.

"Do you think the Cramdelincs are bothering me?"

"Do you think they are? It depends on you, whether or not they do. I have guarded myself against them, so they won't bother me but, if you think they are, then you're susceptible."

"What if I want to make sure they leave me alone, even if they aren't bugging me yet?"

"Then believe that animals do talk. Remind yourself daily that they do & try to have conversations with them. most animals won't talk to older people, because they know they won't believe. It's like Alice in Wonderland, what you believe affects you more than you think."

"Alice in Wonderland? I've never heard of it, what's it about?"

"I could lend it to you if you wish. It's really hard to explain."

"I would like that very much, Luna." It was the first time I said her name in front of her. From the blush on her cheeks I knew I couldn't help myself from saying it again. "Luna."

a/n: I just had to fit Alice in wonderland in there. Luna reminds me so much of Alice I thought it would be good to fit Blaise thinking like that.

With the Gryffindors:

"Ron will you stop yelling. Why don't you go do prefect jobs or homework?" I was getting tired of Harry doing Hermione's job. He's been mad at me since the summer & I can't blame him, but now it's my turn to be mad for a good reason. Harry decided that Ginny would be a good replacement for Hermione until she comes back, & neglected to tell me that they were going out. I found out by walking into the common room early & finding them glued to each other's mouth in front of the fireplace. They bonded over having nightmares about the same person. How wrong is that? When I tried to give the letter I wrote to Hermione about it to an owl it bit me & flew off.

I glared at Harry & walked out of the common room. I was walking everywhere with my mind on Draco & Hermione & what they were going to do together when I walked into someone who was doing the same thing as me. "Watch were you're going you filthy blood traitor."

"Why don't you, you stuck up Slytherin bitch?" (a/n: kids don't cuss. I only put this here cuz I don't think he would say anything else.) I swear that girl has no brain. Everyone knows that Draco can't stand her & still she goes on thinking she has a chance. Then she goes on yelling at me for doing the same thing she was. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"If you must know I was thinking."

"You think?"

"Yes. This time I was thinking about what I saw when I looked at the Black Lake after Blaise stormed off."

"& what did you see?"

"Blaise was about to kiss Luna when I looked away. It's about time that he got his act together about her. He's been wanting to kiss her for ages & was letting him when I looked."

"Luna Lovegood got together with Blaise Zibini? & I thought that she had taste."

"If you must know he's had a crush on her since second year."

"Well good job for him. I bet you were thinking about how you wish Malfoy would start acting like Luna did & actually kiss you back."

"I was & I would like to ask you to shut up about him right now. I'm mad at him for leaving me for Granger" & with that she turned & stormed off again.
