Draco gazed vacantly at the ceiling of the tent. The sound of rain roared in his ears and a small draft chilled his face. Chewing his bottom lip, he rubbed the bandages binding his left arm.

"Oh good! You're awake!" A girl's voice sang out. Lifting himself onto his elbow, Draco turned to face the door. Luna Lovegood was looking him over as if he were a slightly entertaining cartoon; a bland smile on her pale face.

"How are you feeling?" Skipping across the floor she threw herself onto a folding chair beside his bed.

Ignoring her, he turned to the wall.

"Leave me alone."

"You're very rude, you know." She said matter-of-factly, "But I suppose I understand why. You think we're going to kill you, but we're not."

"I wish you would." He mumbled into his pillow.

"That's a strange thing to say, Draco. You don't truly wish that. It would be a foolish thing to wish, really."

He rolled his eyes, willing her to shut up.

"You know," she went on, "I would think you would want to be friends with us. We're all on the same side now."

"I'm not on anyone's side."

"Hmm, no. I think you're wrong. You're on your own side, and you're somebody."

He grunted.

"It must be boring just laying there. Do you want something to read?"

"No."

"I think you do. You just don't want my help." She jumped up and began digging in a bag. Draco sighed and returned to staring at the ceiling.

"We have Wand Making In The Eighteen Hundreds, although, that's Hermione's and she might not like you reading it. Oh, we have Edible Plants in the Great American Prairies, not very interesting, I'm afraid, but useful-"

"I don't want a book."

"Ok then. I think I'll read this one." She fell back onto her chair and began to hum. The tune was familiar to Draco, but he couldn't place it. All he knew was, his mother used to sing it. After several long minutes filled only by the gentle sound, he gave in.

"What is that?" He snapped.

"Oh this? Don't you remember? It's a very dull book-"

"Not the book. The song."

"Oh, it's called, 'Moonlight, How You Glow.' Why?"

"No reason. It's annoying as hell, though."

She continued humming, evidently oblivious to his harsh words.

Oddly enough, Draco felt a sudden surge of guilt. He didn't really have any reason to hate her, only the fact that she was friends with Potter's crew.

"Er, sorry." He mumbled, feeling awkward.

"I know. People say things they don't mean quite often. In fact, I think that apology was was the first thing you've said to me that you did mean." With a smile, she rose and exited the tent, leaving Draco baffled.


Hermione held the map inches from her face as she sat in the pouring rain. Beside her, Ron was holding an umbrella over her head and playing with a wooden puzzle. It had been her gift to him on his birthday two months ago but he had yet to solve it. She smiled mischievously as she heard him mumble about it being, "bloody impossible" and "probably cursed". Although, she hadn't told him that Luna had solved it in under a minute.

"That's it! I give up!" Ron stowed it away in his pocket. "What are you doing?" He moved closer to Hermione.

"I'm trying to find out what's so special about this address." She sighed.

Furrowing his brow, Ron took the map from her and put his arm around her shoulders. "This one?" He pointed to a red dot.

"Yes. It's the address in the message we received on the DA coin. It's just...I've never been there. Have you?"

"No, I don't think so. Er, wait a minute! I'll be right back!" Jumping up he ran inside the tent and promptly returned with a small, leather book in his hand.

Curious, Hermione asked, "What is that, Ron?"

"Er, it's my journal." He blushed, looking at his feet.

"I had no idea you kept a journal! That's wonderful."

"Well, not any more. I, um, sort of stopped after Ginny and the diary...well, you know. Anyway, I might be wrong, but I think I wrote something about that address. 321 West Archpine, was it?"

She nodded. Slipping her arm through his elbow, she rested her chin on his shoulder. After a few minutes, he let out an excited noise.

"Yep! Here it is! Apparently my family went camping there when I was ten. It was a forest called Archpine and our campsite was number 321 on the west side."

"So, you know where it is?"

"Yeah. I know the place. Do you want me to go?"

"Maybe. But not alone."

"You could come with me." He suggested shyly.

"Do you think Luna, Ginny and Dennis will get on ok?"

"I'm sure. They all know loads of spells in case out resident Death Eater gets any ideas. I mean, Luna is better than me at most of 'em!"

With a laugh, Hermione stood and took his hand. "Alright, let's go tell them. Hopefully we will only be gone for a day."

"Where are we going?" A voice directly behind them asked. Turning, Hermione smiled. Dennis stood, grinning at the couple. He was completely soaked, golden curls plastered to his pale forehead.

"Sorry mate, but we aren't going anywhere. You, Luna, and my sister have to stay here."

Disappointed, the younger boy's shoulders sagged.

"You know what, Dennis?" Hermione asked, "I think it's very important that you stay here. In fact, I'm going to put you in charge of putting up the protective charms and finding food while we're gone."

A giant grin broke out on his impish face, making him look remarkably like his late brother. "Alright! How long are you going to be gone?"

"Only a day. Two at the most." Then, she turned to her fiancé. "Ron, will you tell Ginny to make sure they all apparate to... How about the island on Walnut Lake? That way we can find them."

"Sure. We can leave first thing tomorrow morning."

"I'll pack, then."

And with that, the trio made their way back to the tent
