Luna skipped into Transfigurations and stopped a few feet inside the door. She looked around for the dark-haired boy carefully but frowned a bit when she saw he wasn't in this class. She walked slowly over to Ginny's desk, sat down, smiled at her friend, and absentmindedly played with her hair.
Blaise rushed into History of Magic class early and put his bag on the empty seat next to him and turned around impatiently to wait for Luna. He was hoping to sit next to her again but he had no idea why. She never walked into his class. Blaise put his head down on the desk sadly and didn't pay attention to the lesson at all. He was too busy moping.
The silent shadow crept through the halls of Hogwarts, watching carefully for any signs of movement. If a sound was made, the shadow would blend. No one would notice that something was happening. No one would notice that something was different. No one would suspect a thing. The yellow and silver eyes. Looking. Searching. Hunting.
Blaise stalked into professor Snape's office with the potion Luna had given him in his hand.
Snape looked up from his desk.
"Mr. Zabini." he said slowly. "To what do I owe the pleasure of your presence?" He asked sarcastically.
I was wondering if you could me a bit about this potion, sir." Blaise said calmly. "I don't know what it's for but I would like to know." said as he handed to potion to Snape's outstretched hand.
Snape examined it for a few seconds then handed it back to him. "It is not harmful and it does absolutely nothing. Mr. Lovegood has created this to keep imaginary creatures away." Snape sneered and turned around and started walking away.
Blaise looked at the potion a jumped when Snape spoke again.
"If that is all you are interested in hearing about, I suggest you leave." He said slowly but menacingly.
Blaise ran out of the classroom and down to the Great Hall for dinner.
Luna sat with Ginny outside before dinner as the two girls talked.
"Ginny..." Luna said slightly nervous.
"What is it Luna?" Ginny asked quickly, since she had never seen her friend act nervous before.
Luna handed Ginny her Spectrespecs slowly. "Could you put these on and tell me if I have any wrackspurts?" Luna spoke quietly and uncertainly.
Ginny put the glasses on and looked at Luna. She had not a single wrackspurt. "Lucky you Luna. Your head is clean of them." Ginny said sweetly while handing back the Spectrespecs. "Why do you ask?"
Luna looked around before speaking. "I'm acting strange lately and was wondering if they were causing it." at that moment, the dark-haired boy ran by the open windows in the hallway.
"Ginny? Who's that?" she asked curiously.
"Oh him? That's Blaise Zabini." Ginny replied sounding slightly bored. "c'mon, let's go to dinner!" she said happily. And with that, both girls got up and walked towards the Great Hall.
Blaise slowly rolled out of his bed in the dead of the night. He walked out of his room and through the common room. Once he reached the hall way, he breathed deep and walked towards the stairs. As he walked, he rounded a corner and bumped into something that jolted him awake. He saw a flash of black shoot past him and around the next corner. Suddenly, someone let out a deadly scream from the corner that the black blur disappeared around. Blaise ran to look and saw a small girl sitting on the ground. Blaise knelt next to her.
"Hey, are you ok?" he asked soothingly to the girl, patting her back. She nodded and turned slightly red at the kind gesture. Blaise helped her stand up.
"Did you see what that was?" asked the girl shakily.
Blaise shook his head no. "Did YOU see what it was?" he asked quietly.
"All I saw was something bump into me and run. It was like a shadow." she said with a slightly scared voice.
Blaise comforted her for a couple of minutes then walked with her until they ran into a prefect who knew of Blaise's sleepwalking. Blaise handed the second year girl off to the prefect and started to walk back to his dormitory. All the while, he thought about everything he had seen, or rather, not seen that night.
Blaise sat down in his seat in charms and waited a little too impatiently for Luna to get there. He had drunk the potion she had given him and he was torn between hoping she would notice and hoping she would NOT notice. Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted when Luna spoke.
"I see you drank the potion. It's done wonders, you don't have any wrackspurts whatsoever." she said happily as she looked up at him with her eyes hidden behind those funky glasses of hers.
Blaise was absolutely floored. How had she known? How could she tell? Are wrackspurts real? Is it not made up?
"I didn't take the potion." he mumbled. "Must be your imagination." Blaise crossed his arms and slumped down in his chair.
"Oh no I'm sure of it." Luna insisted. "Here, look." she whispered as she slipped her Spectrespecs on his face. He looked at her in surprise. "Look at people. You see those dots flying around their heads?" Blaise nodded slowly. "Those are wrackspurts. You don't have any of those anymore." she said proudly. Blaise looked around the classroom once more then took the glasses off and handed them back to Luna.
"This girl...she's something different. She's so honest. And interesting!" Blaise laughed to himself. "I'm actually glad she's sitting next to me and not someone else..."
"Why do I want lemon gummies so bad right now? Blaise smells like lemons...wait! Why am I thinking about what Blaise smells like?! I have wrackspurts. That's right...wrackspurts."
Luna and Blaise snuck a glance at each other at the same time; both quickly averted their gaze when they saw the other looking back. Luna turned red and Blaise smiled to himself. Both students tried to pay attention for the rest of the class, but to no avail. Luna was very busy trying to figure out how she got wrackspurts, while Blaise kept thinking about how pretty Luna's hair was.
How do crazy people walk through the forest?
They take the psycho path! :D
Thanks for reading everyone :) And we all know Luna doesn't have wrackspurts, right? ;)
