Back again! This chapter is actually a couple months after the last. Luna, Neville, Hermoine, Harry, Ron, Draco, Blaise, Pansy, and Daphne are ALL back for their 8th year because they missed their 7th. Please… enjoy.
(Luna's POV)
I skipped into Hogwarts feeling very proud of myself. The sorting hat had redone all of the 8th year student houses and I was finally in Gryphindor. Draco was still in Slytherin but I don't see him complaining. The golden trio and Neville were also in gryphindor except for Ron who had been placed in Ravenclaw. The feast had been magnificent. Mcgonagall had been made headmaster and Hagrid was now her chief advisor. I hadn't seen much of anyone over the summer except for Draco, who had grown rather attached to me, I think. I believe it's because I saved his life, but I wish he actually wanted to be with me, and not just pay back a life debt.
The first day of classes came quickly and the first class I had was Potions with Draco. I figured he would go back to his friends and forget me but when I walked in I saw him wave me over, and it was obvious he had saved me a spot. I felt a rush of gratitude towards the Slytherin boy, being so kind to me after years of torture and pain.
(Draco's POV)
Ever since she saved me, I had begun to feel extremely close to the Ravenclaw/Gryphindor. Luna really was a sweet girl, and I wanted to make amends. I got to class early and saved her a spot. "Oi! Draco!" I heard Blaise yell across the room. He walked over to me and I began to get nauseous. Half of his face had been burned off in the fire we had set in the room of requirement. Pansy didn't look to good either, with a hand missing, bitten off by Fenir Greyback, and her cheek mauled so she always seemed to have a half smile sported on the left side. I took inventory of the room and noticed none of my "warmates" looked very spiffy either. Ronald Weasley had a permanent hole in his skull, just above his ear. Neville Longbottom was wearing a slash on his neck that didn't seem quite closed yet. I looked around for Lavendar Brown before remembering she had been killed in the battle.
I wonder what Potter looks like. He hadn't seemed to have come in yet, but rumor was, his scar had disappeared after he "died." I never did understand that. If he had died, how did he not stay that way. I would have to ask Luna when she came in.
As if by coincidence, Luna Lovegood, in all of her glory walked in. Given, she had lost an arm and was now using a fake muggle arm in its place, but she did look rather smashing. 8th years were not required to wear school robes so she had put on a purple cardigan over a top that had what I suspected to be a Nargle on the front, paired with short shorts and black leggings. She sat down and the lesson began.
YAY! I made a longer chapter. This is it for today unless I get a stroke of brilliance! ^-^ I think I'm getting better at this and I will definitely do more! Also as a quick note, I seem to have a small, SMALL case of writers block. Not enough to stop me from making chapters, but enough to make them very bland. If any viewer wish to send me an idea or two it will be much appreciated. If you do I will try to incorporate into my next chapter and I will give you credit! OK I'm leaving now! Goodbye!
