Eh :( sorry I haven't been on to update in a few days, I've been sick and apparently, one of the symptoms was writers block. But now, I can write again! Yay! And lucky you guys :D I wrote most of this this morning and I had a midterm this afternoon today but I didn't know about it. If I had, you wouldn't have had a chapter today.

Time to run. Time to stalk. Time to hunt.

A loud growl rumbled through the halls of Hogwarts as the shadow that stalked the school slinked down close to the dungeons, on the prowl.

Now, to find the target, the prey. Find. Attack. Kill wouldn't be bad...the target would be out of the way and so MANY possibilities would be open. So MANY opportunities to take. Just get the target. Get the target. Get the target.

The growl rippled through the shadow and echoed through the halls again when a flash of human ran across a hall way. Theeeere was the prey. THERE...was the perfect time to attack.

Blaise didn't sleepwalk that night. He lay down in bed and happily slipped into a light sleep. One he was happy to be in and one he hoped to stay in for a while. Or at least until he had to get up in the morning. Getting some actual rest was nice and even though Blaise was asleep and unconscious, he knew it would be good for him. Little to his knowledge, danger lurked through the corridors of the school.

Luna walked slowly down a hall and rounded a corner. All of a sudden, a bright light flashed inside her brain and it felt as if an electric current ran through her body and it jolted her awake. For a few seconds, Luna couldn't see anything due to the sudden changes in lighting. Right as her eyes were adjusted, someone ran past her. She turned around quickly only to see black claws shoot out from the darkness and throw the person who ran against the wall like a rag doll. The person yelled when their body came in contact with the wall and they fell down on the grounds and didn't move. Footsteps could be heard but Luna wasn't paying attention to anything but the person on the floor. She franticly began performing as many healing spells as she could remember and quickly levitated the body. Luna began moving the body towards the infirmary as fast as she could. Luna's mind was fogged up. She couldn't think straight. All that was in her mind was getting this person to safety. There was a sudden gasp and Luna jerked her head around to face Professor Sprout.

"Goodness Miss Lovegood, what on EARTH is going on? And who is that? Oh dear, what's happened to him?" professor Sprout said with a horrified look on her face at the sight of the limp body.

"He-attacked. I saw. Claws...from the shadow..." She managed to get out before a single tear ran down her face. Professor Sprout gave her a sympathetic look and took over the levitating body and led Luna up to the hospital wing to take care of the floating, unconscious, bloody person who was attacked by a shadow.

Blaise was sitting in DADA completely confused. At first when he walked into class, he notice Luna was missing and felt his spirit and mood sink. Then as he was sitting down, he looked next to him and noticed that...Draco was gone too. Blaise sat in his confusion and wondered.

"I wonder where they are..." He thought to himself.

Blaise then heard whispers behind him. He strained to listen and caught a bit of the conversation.

"Yeah-at night-attack-"

"Malfoy-hospital wing-poor guy."

"Luna too-"

Blaise almost fell out of his seat. Draco and Luna were hurt?! No.

No no no no no.

Blaise ran. Once class was done, he ran as fast as he could. He was scared. He may not know Luna very well but she was one of the only people he knew that didn't make him feel inferior. He felt like he was talking to an equal the one time he spoke to her. She hadn't tried to show off or make herself look good to him, she just acted like herself. And now, she was probably hurt and he was terrified.

He ran into the hospital wing and skidded to a stop and immediately saw the two filled beds. Draco's was closest to him. He glanced down and saw his arm and torso wrapped up. He was unconscious. Blaise swiftly walked past him and stood by Luna's bed. He looked down at her face and saw a sad and solemn look. He also saw her eyes were slightly open and looking up at him with an expression he thought he would never see on a face like hers. She looked scared. Blaise sat down on the chair next to her bed quietly and looked into her eyes and smiled slightly. They sat together in silence for a few hours while Madam Pomfrey fussed over Luna before letting her finally leave for dinner. Blaise looked at her.

"Stay with me...please." she whispered softly as they walked towards the great hall. "I...I'm too scared to be alone with..." she trailed off and looked down, trying to hide her face. Blaise gently placed his hand on her shoulder and led her in the direction of the kitchen

Luna and Blaise sat in silence and ate. Luna picked at her food while Blaise tried to eat slowly to stay in time with the girl he was eating with. Luna looked up at him and smiled slightly, reveling a small bit of dreamy-ness. Blaise smiled widely at her and picked up a roll and handed it to her.

"Eat up Luna Lovegood." He said happily.

"I will Blaise Zabini." She said calmly as she took the roll and smiled at him again.

They sat together and finished eating. Both stood up at the same time and walked out of the kitchen.

Blaise and Luna walked side by side, close together so as to be reminded that someone else was there. They were walking to the Ravenclaw common room. Blaise suddenly turned to Luna and stopped, stopping her by holding onto her hand.

"Luna...what happened? I have to know." He said quickly.

Luna looked up at him and spoke.

"I was sleepwalking and something...something woke me up. I saw someone run then claws. Claws from the dark. They...threw Malfoy against the wall. I helped before I tried to take him to the infirmary but a teacher found us before I could make it there..." Luna started crying, remembering the horrible things she had seen that night. Blaise immediately pulled her into a hug and rubbed her back protectively.

"Don't cry. I'm here for you." he said quietly. "You talk to me if you need someone. I'll be here for you." Blaise spoke in a soothing voice, calming Luna down.

"I'm sorry." she whispered. "I don't normally cry..." she said between breathes.

"Shh, you don't need to apologize." Blaise whispered back.

The two students stood there for a few more minutes, hugging each other until they started walking again.

Luna got out of her bed and slept walked out of the Ravenclaw dorms.

Blaise sat up and placed his feet on the floor of his private Slytherin room.

Both of them stumbled around until they got to the panting in front of the kitchen. They stood in front of each other then took a step towards each other. Blaise wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. The two sleeping student hugged each other for a few moments before separating and walking back the way they came.

Why did the robber take a bath?

He wanted to make a clean getaway! :D

(I love silly jokes)
