Chapter 11: The Nargles
Key:
Nargle one
Nargle two
Nargle three
Wake up Little
Wake up Loony
Wake up Luna
Luna awoke to the sound a strange voices. She didn't know where she was, but it was full of strange colours she had never seen before. Luna felt a strange power surging through her that took the form of a glowing golden, light, shining from her.
"Hello? Where am I?" Luna called out into the void.
"In your Loony Head Luna. You've finally gone nuts."
A screechy voice yelled back.
"No she hasn't. Don't mess with the poor girl, she has been through enough."
A second high pitch voice shot out.
"She is Loony and it's our fault.
We failed the Moon Mother, so show some manners to her child."
Said a wiser third voice.
"Who are you?" Luna asked the strange voices as if they were old friends. She had a feeling they were.
I'm Little
I'm Loony
I'm Luna...
Wait no stop that
I'm Harry
I'm James
And I'm Pot...NO!
Stop you annoying little pests, let me answer the girl.
"You don't know who you are?" Luna asked the bickering voices.
"I know but these two won't let me.
I'm Riddle, He's Marvolo...
…I'm not even going to bother. I hate you foul fairies."
The third voice grumbled as the other two started cackling.
"Fairies?" Luna whispered. "You're the Nargles!"
"What the hell's a Nargle?"
"It's what we are you jack ass."
"I'm not a Nargle, I'm an Elgran."
"That's Nargle spelled backwards."
"Oh..Ohhhh"
The Nargles laughter echoed throughout the void.
"Can someone please explain to me what's going on?" Luna groaned. Already feeling dizzy from the arguing voices.
NO
YES
MAYBE
WE WILL TELL HER EVERYING
WE WILL TELL HER NOTHING!
WE WILL TELL HER SOMETHING!
DEAL!
"Human girl, you have been poisoned. We tried to warn you, but that stupid human spit in your pudding and you misinterpreted the dream."
"You were Harry's dream?" Luna gasped in amazement of these strange beings.
"WE ARE DREAMS, GIRL!"
"WATCH YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!"
"REMEMBER THE WORDS WE NOW SHALL SPEAK!"
"YOUR ONLY HOPE TO FIND WHAT YOU SEEK!"
Madam Pomfrey entered her office where a fretting Harry was waiting, along with half the teaching staff. They all stood up as she began to speak,
"She's dead, I couldn't revive the poor girl."
"Luna?" Harry barely whispered as he felt his heart turn to ashes.
"Pansy Parkinson most likely died at the scene, but I pronounced her dead at exactly 6:41, after it was apparent she could not be revived. Luna Lovegood is in stable condition. She is in a magically induced coma, but should make a full recovery in a couple of days," Pomfrey said causing Harry to collapse into his chair, overwhelmed with relief.
Harry had been petrified since he brought Luna's unconscious body to the hospital wing. She arrived at the hospital wing slightly blue and hardly breathing, but she was still alive. Harry was also badly effected by Pansy's death. He could not save her and had to watch Pansy die in his arms. He never liked the girl but she never deserved this.
"I have never seen poison like this. In order to dissolve the bezoar you gave her, it must have been incredibly powerful," Slughorn stated grimly examining the sample of poison Pomfrey was able to abstract.
"You know if Luna had not given her pudding to Pansy, it would have been Luna who died. Luna only ate a small amount of the pudding, so she only felt a very small amount of its effect. Yet that small effect nearly killed her," Spoke Flitwick who seemed rather disturbed by this thought. "This women who...spit in Luna's pudding, ended up saving her life."
Harry looked at the small wizard confused. "She is probably the one who poisoned Luna! She just got fired for refusing to serve Luna, She probably wanted revenge."
Slughorn shook his head. "That poison is beyond anything I have seen. This is not something you just throw into someone's food on a whim. This poison takes time to prepare. This was a planned attempt on Luna Lovegood's life. The question before us is, who did it?"
"It has to be someone at Hogwarts. The school is the only place where Luna's condition has been known long enough for the potion to have been made," Pomfrey said.
"Or the Ministry," Flitwick whispered catching Harry's eye.
"The Minister spoke to me last night. Though I don't trust him with Luna, I doubt he would risk the lives of other students for an assassination. Poison is not the style of an Auror and is far too unreliable. That fact saved Luna's life and nearly killed Ron in my 6th year. This was attempted murder, not an assassination. Hell it's a hate crime if it's because she's a squib," Harry spoke as he tried to piece together suspects. Just because he had chosen not to be an Auror, doesn't mean he couldn't play the role.
McGonagall now spoke to the staff. "We have all looked through the Pensive and clearly the main suspects are Miss Stone, Michael Corner, Madam Rosmerta, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger..."
"What? There is no way Ron or Hermione did this," Harry yelled angrily, defending his friends.
"What if they were under the imperious curse? We have to take motive out of the picture. The wizard responsible for this may not be the person who performed the dirty deed," Flitwick spoke sternly.
"As I was saying," McGonagall continued. "Other suspects include you Harry, though I find it far-fetched..."
"What about all of you," Harry snapped. "You are all staff who know about Luna and you are all skilled enough of creating such a potion. Maybe you stole it from Slughorn. I bet you that's where the killer got the poison from."
"I repeat!" Slughorn shouted. "I have never seen a poison like this in my life."
"What about Snape? I'm sure his stash of poisons are still in his old cupboard, which is now yours," Harry stood inches from the older man's face.
"As brilliant as Snape was at poisons, let me remind you I taught him everything he knows about them," Slughorn stated with pride.
The argument was suddenly interrupted by a high pitched shriek from the hospital wing. Harry burst out of the office to see Luna sitting on her bed with a strange look on her face. Her eyes seemed completely unfocused and she was bearing her teeth as if they were fangs.
"Luna what's wrong?" Harry asked as he approached her. Luna raised her hand and sent him flying back into one of the professors while laughing madly.
Madam Pomfrey muttered to herself, "I thought she would be out for the rest of the day. It is not normal for a..."
"When it comes to the girl nothing is normal,"
Luna spoke in a strange shrill voice
"Luna? W...what's w...wrong?" Harry stuttered as he stood back up, clearly stunned by Luna's strange actions. Luna also stood up to face Harry with a loopy grin on her face.
"Hi Harry. My name is Loony Lovegood ha, he, ho, hi,"
"No don't mess with them or they will have Luna committed."
"Focus on speaking to them, not each other you dunderheads."
"You know they are watching Luna argue with herself.
This will not help convince them of her sanity."
That was indeed what was happening, as Luna spoke in three separate arguing voices. As Harry took another slow step towards Luna, the rest of the staff took three steps back.
"Luna...what are you doing?" Harry asked, not having the slightest idea what to do.
"The name's Doogevolanul and we are not the girl,"
"We Are the Nargles,"
The room was silent as they all stared at Luna.
"Great! Now they do think we're crazy. I told you so"
"They think the Girl's crazy, they don't think we exist."
"That's even worse."
"Luna...are...are…you...OK?" Harry stuttered as Luna seemed to go insane before his eyes.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
"OK? NO SHE IS FAR FROM OK."
"THEY ARE COMING TO TAKE HER AWAY,
TO MASH HER AND BASH HER
UNTIL SHE IS PUDDING."
"SPEAKING OF PUDDING WE KNOW WHO DID IT."
Harry's eyes opened even wider (if that was even possible) "You know who poisoned you...Who?"
"We know who poisoned the GIRL! No one has poisoned me."
"That's not what you said last week."
"…SHUT UP!"
"SILENCE! Both of you!
Yes we know who did it, but to tell you would be too easy.
You Humans must learn from your experiences. The girl understands this.
She, the one begotten by the great Human Mother, who was born as
PANDORA LUNA MATOR!"
Harry heard the gasps from behind him as he turned to the other professors. Slughorn spoke first "I thought her name was Swan."
"I thought it was Lovegood," Trelawney announced abruptly.
"That was the name she took after she married. Please think before you speak Sybil," McGonagall sniffed at the strange old woman.
Harry looked to Flitwick who answered his unasked question. "Pandora's last names means Moon Mother and if I am correct Luna's real middle name is Puer. It's true then, Luna Puer Lovegood is the Moon Child."
"Exactly Goblin Man! Hahahahahahaha,"
Suddenly Luna stiffened and started to sharply breath in, sounding like nails on a chalk board. Harry realized this was the same sound Trelawney made during her real prophecies.
As the moon dies, old words become lies
At the new moons rise, power awakens in the skies.
The secrets of the gift lies behind her scared eyes
The Earth father unwise, with his compromise
With the Earth mother, the devil in disguise
The past shall reprise as another shall demise
Only through great sacrifice, shall the world become paradise
Moon Mother, Moon Child
The Children of the Wise.
Shall awaken the dog from where it lies
Luna finished the prophecy before collapsing to her knees. She looked up at Harry who immediately rushed to her side. Luna looked up shaken and confused, before wrapping her arms around Harry's neck and crying into his shoulder.
"Harry...she's dead...isn't she." Luna whispered in Harry's arms. "It's my fault, I never meant to hurt anyone. It's my fault."
"It's not your fault Luna..." Harry whispered as he helped Luna back to her bed. "Lie back down Luna, you need rest."
"I thought I had died, I think I'm still dying. I knew this day would come, but why now when I have love," Luna whispered in tears. "Don't let them take me Harry...Not now."
"I swear I won't let anything hurt you Luna. You're going to get better, you just need to rest, please." A tearful Harry whispered, kissing Luna. "Do you remember anything that just happened?"
Luna tilted her head as she spoke with a conviction he never heard from her before. "I had a dream where these voices spoke to me. They said they were the Nargles, I think it was real. They said that daddy has my mom's work, she did write papers on it...for me. You have to get it for me. I need to see them even if you have to steal them!"
"I never feared death, I know when I die I will be reunited with my mother on the other side, but I cannot die now. I will not die while I still have someone to live for!" Luna kissed Harry with an intensity he had never felt from anyone before. And just like that Luna collapsed back into unconsciousness.
Harry laid her back on the bed before facing the other professors, who were debating if they should take Luna to St. Mungo's mental institution. When Harry spoke, it was with such passion, the room was immediately silenced.
"LUNA IS NOT CRAZY!"
"Potter is clearly delusional, blinded by his feelings for the girl" Trelawney finally blurted before retreating from McGonagall's glare.
"Potter..."
"No don't Potter me Professor. I know I haven't known Luna as long as most of you, but I know her better than anyone. I have seen her act strange and impulsively, but I have never seen her do something truly...crazy...until now."
Harry paused before he continued. "What if she is telling the truth? What if something is wrong? What if Nargles are real? What if it's all real? We know she is a magic squib. If that is possible then anything is possible. At least try to consider the possibility that Loony Lovegood is LUNA!"
The room went silent as Harry returned to Luna's side. Flitwick tried to put his hand on Harry's shoulder but settled for his elbow. "You really do love her don't you?"
Harry nodded as he stroked Luna's hair. "I'm going to see Xenophilius at once."
Flitwick responded slowly, "We don't know what Pandora was working on when she died or how it affected Luna, but it is clear that it affected her in some way. We do know Pandora was trying to give Luna powers and succeeded. We know that during this time Pandora died. I'm coming with you, I believe the three of us have much to discuss..."
"Hello Miss Stone, how did the mission go?" Amelia greeted her friend as she entered the Ministry.
"It could have gone better, Amelia," Sarah replied. "I tried to tell the boss that antagonizing the squib was a bad idea. I was right, it got me bloody fired from my cover station. I couldn't even be there to save the squib!"
"She is alive right?" Amelia asked as they made their way to the department they worked in.
"No thanks to her, you know that I spat in her pudding. The bimbo saw me and still ate it! Some pig nose girl finished it off and turned purple faster than my last potions final," Sarah snorted. "Remind me again why we are protecting the squib?"
"She might not be popular, but if she is murdered the Ministry will take the blame. Besides, she is a researcher's dream subject. We need her here so we can test our experiment we've been working on."
"Experiments? She's a human being not a rodent," Sarah gasped.
"She's a squib, what's the difference?" Amelia squealed with laughter. "It's just unfortunate we lost our top Hogwarts spy."
"Keep it down, if anyone heard us our unbreakable vows will...break," Stones scolded.
The two witches entered the Department of Mysteries where security was waiting for them. Amelia heard the all too familiar sound of screams piercing through the dark halls ahead of them.
The security wizard started testing Amelia to confirm her identity while Sarah turned pale. Amelia noticed, "You alright there Sarah?"
Stones nodded, "Sorry I just wasn't expecting the screams."
Amelia scoffed, "Not expecting the screams? What's wrong with you?"
Sarah close her eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, I just haven't been myself lately. Stupefy!"
The two Unspeakables fell to the ground while Sarah ran through the Department of Mysteries. She tried to ignore the screams and sirens as she entered the Room of Files.
She couldn't believe what she saw. Books as far as her eyes could see, full of illegal information on every Witch and Wizard in existence. To her disgust she saw the books organized into four sections, Pure Bloods, Half Bloods, Muggleborns and Squibs. She lifted her wand to where she knew the wards would be and uttered the password "Silence."
After the ward died Sarah ran through the pure blood section before reaching the L. After thirty minutes of searching she finally found it, Pandora Lovegood's files.
"Intruder Security has been breached. The intruder is in the Room of Files and is using Polyjuice Potion," Said a woman's voice that sounded as if the speaker was in the room.
"How did they find out so fast?" Sarah muttered sarcastically as she waved her wand around her. Security arrived seconds later.
"You are under arrest, take her to the room 959."
The impostor raised her hands in the hair as the Unspeakables approached. Suddenly there was a crack and the Impostor was the only one left standing. She grabbed an extra file before vanishing on the spot.
The Unspeakables slowly rose from the floor. "How did she do that?"
The female voice replied "She set wards around herself that blocked our attack and negated our anti apparating ward."
One of the unspeakables grimaced. "Whoever did this must have an incredible source of magical knowledge..."
At the Hogshead inn, Sarah Stone apparated into her room. She turned to a girl lying stiff as a board on the floor. The impostor spoke, "Thank you for your cooperation Miss Stones, your information has been very helpful. Thank you for trying to help Luna, your intentions have been as foul as your hair. I suggest you tell the rest of your Unspeakables to leave Luna alone. OBLIVAITE!"
Five minutes later the impostor, no longer under the influence of Polyjuice Potion, greeted her boyfriend as he ran up the street. "Hermione where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you."
"I've been fine I was just taking care of some business for Luna. Is she ok?" Hermione answered nervously.
"I couldn't get in the Hospital Wing, but Harry told me she was going to be ok when he left. He seemed in a big hurry," Ron pondered.
"Well someone just tried to kill his girlfriend, I'm sure he has more important things to do than fill us in," Hermione replied.
"I know what you mean. I don't know where he is going, but I don't want to be the guy meeting a pissed off Harry Potter," said Ron.
"AHHH TAKE WHAT EVER YOU WANT, JUST DON'T HURT ME!"
"For Merlin's sake it's me, Harry! You really need to calm down before you have a bloody heart attack."
Xenophilius' face brightened. "Oh Hi Harry, Luna's been keeping me posted on recent events and I must say I'm concerned. Why won't she let me visit her at school? If she is afraid of my reaction to your relationship with her, I assure you I am not worried. I knew of your feelings since we last met in this very room. I could even see the Dabberblimps crawling all over you."
"Mr. Lovegood, your daughter..."
"Oh hello Filius, Great to see you. I was hoping you would let me speak to my daughter..."
"I'm sure that can be arranged once she is awake," Filius interrupted.
"Well that's good, I really was wanting to show her what I have finally captured...What do you mean awake?" Xenophilius asked confused.
"Xenophilius, Your daughter was poisoned earlier today at the Three Broomsticks Inn. If she hadn't been sharing her pudding with another student she would have died. In fact the student she was sharing with has died. Luckily, your daughter should make a full recovery," Filius finished looking up at the pale figure of Xenophilius Lovegood.
"Well...as long as she's...ok...I...Um...bye," Xenophilius muttered as he feinted. Filius revived him and helped the poor man into a chair.
"Mr. Lovegood, Your daughter is in trouble. I need the notes Pandora wrote before her death," Harry asked failing to remain calm.
Xenophilius looked at Harry in surprise and shock. "How did you...No, Absolutely Not!"
"Her secret is out Xeno, everyone knows she was once a Squib." Flitwick spoke. Interrupting an outburst from Harry.
"Was? She is a squib and no unnatural magic will change that. There are things we must not meddle with Potter. Meddling is what my dear wife did and look what happened to her."
"What are you not telling me?" Harry shouted.
Xenophilius muttered looking at his feet "It's for Luna's own sake that things are kept from her..."
"I have had people keep things from me MY WHOLE LIFE!" Harry screamed at the timid man. "I will not stand by while Luna suffers the same fate."
Xenophilius looked up angered. "It is not up to us to, as the Muggle's say, play god. Who are we to decide how magic works, we are just vessels."
"WE ARE NOT VESSELS, WE ARE INDIVIDUALS WITH FREE WILL AND CHOICE!" Harry yelled back.
Xeno glared back at Harry with bravery he had never seen before from the timid man. "You're a meddler Potter and meddlers get themselves killed, but worse they get those around them killed."
Harry raised his wand to the foolish man. "My meddling saved your life, your daughter's life, I saved thousands of wizards when I struck down Tom Riddle. So just give me those papers before I Meddle once more."
"ENOUGH!"
They both froze as they looked at the source of the booming voice. Filius had his wand aimed at the two before he spoke. "We may have different opinions but we all want the same thing, to help and protect Luna Lovegood. I don't think it would help her if you two killed each other for no good reason!"
Xenophilius paused before waving his wand, conjuring three mugs of tea for his guests. "I'm sorry Potter, I should probably explain myself better so you understand my concerns."
Harry hesitated before sitting down. "I think I understand, you're afraid of change. You are scared of your daughter changing..."
"I'm scared of you preventing a change for the better Harry," Xenophilius interrupted sounding exhausted.
"What's so wrong with her keeping her magic, and maybe even giving more of it to the world? Don't you want your daughter to be happy?" Harry asked.
Xenophilius nodded, "Exactly Potter, I love that girl with all my heart. The way she is writing those letters has shown me how much she has changed. You know why she is losing her magic, Potter?"
"Because she is a Squib? Because of the Nargles?" Harry guessed.
"No...It's because she loves you Harry." Xenophilius said quietly. "Did something happen between you two over the summer? Something that could conjure these feelings of affection?"
Harry looked off in deep thought. "I met her twice during the summer. The first time, she talked about me becoming her tutor, the second time was later that night. I felt guilty for not being a good enough friend to her. I went for a walk and I ended up here. I shared things with her I haven't shared with anyone. She was playing this amazing music and I told her I wanted to be a true friend to her. For a brief moment she seemed too changed and she hugged me..."
"Friendship, a love stronger then love itself. So that is how it started," Xenophilius whispered. "For the first time since the incident, she felt true affection for someone."
The room was silent as Xenophilius began to explain. "Love is a really powerful magic that almost all beings have in them. Only someone like You-Know-Who is without it. He had it once but in order to gain his powers he removed what he believed to be a waste of magic from his core. You see one's magical core can only hold so much magic."
"You mean...That is why Luna's magical core is overloading?" Harry whispered.
Xenophilius nodded. "When Pandora gave Luna that power, Luna lost much of her ability to truly love and feel. She remained a kind, caring and loving person but it was not the same. She once described it as a veil that isolated her from the world."
"I lost more than my wife the day she died, I lost the love of my daughter. You have no idea what it is like to see someone who you love with all your might, who once loved you with all her might, but you look in their eyes and see nothing. She believes she does but it's not really there. That changed the day you came into her life. Slowly but surely, Luna has started to become the women she once was.
"This summer everything changed. I came home from one of my expeditions and she greeted me with affection I no longer thought possible. She is truly starting to heal Harry, and I owe it all to you. I will not let her undo this for reasons she doesn't even understand. If she regains her magic, it will be the same terrible price," Xenophilius finished speaking. It was only when Filius spoke five minutes later that the silence was broken
"What about the Nargles, She seems to believe they have something to do with her losing magic," Filius whispered.
Xenophilius scoffed, "I know for a fact that Nargles are not real."
"Don't lie to me Xeno, We both know you know that I know more than I am supposed to know or am allowed to say I know," Filius said causing Harry and Xeno to try and wrap their heads around that sentence as Filius continued.
"I must confess I have been silent on certain things for a long time. I am aware of everything to do with Pandora and Luna. Not being able to say anything has been maddening. Alas, when you work for the Department of Mysteries, you are forced to take an unbreakable vow of secrecy. Potter, if I had told you Luna was a squib, I would have died on the spot. However I feel I have been too passive when it concerns the poor girl. I will do whatever I can to help you find out the information you seek. Maybe if we can all work together, Luna can keep her magic and her sanity. I fear that this Prophecy may complicate things."
Xenophilius shrugged deep in thought. "That prophecy means nothing, it was condemned to be unfulfilled the day Pandora died."
Flitwick grinned "I was referring to the Prophecy this morning not the one I cannot mention."
Xenophilius looked up shocked. "Another Prophecy, I mean I shouldn't have said that. You tricked me!"
Flitwick looked at Harry with a wink. "See, valuable information, and I'm not dead."
"Get out of my house! I said get out of my..."
"Would you not like to hear the new prophecy then?" Filius asked knowingly.
Xenophilius glared at him "Fine, tell me what you know and I will tell you what I know you Meddlers!"
Flitwick ignored him and quoted the new prophecy.
As the moon dies, old words become lies
At the new moons rise, power awakens in the skies.
The secrets of the gift lies behind her scared eyes
The earth father unwise, with his compromise
With the earth mother the devil in disguise
The past shall reprise as another shall demise
Only through great sacrifice, shall the world become paradise
Moon Mother, Moon Child
The Children of the Wise.
Shall awaken the dog from where it lies
Xenophilius was truly pale at the finish of the prophecy. "So…The old prophecy will be fulfilled...by Luna?"
Flitwick shook his head. "Luna is no sear, this is a prophecy from Nargles, Fairies. They possessed her and spoke through her. It was mostly typical fairy nonsense. The prophecy may amount to no more than Fairy mischief, however it could be very real."
Harry took over. "After the Prophecy, she told me the Nargles told her of Pandora's notes. I was told to get them at all costs sir. I will speak with Luna about what you've told me today but I will be leaving with those notes, one way or the other."
Xenophilius looked ready to argue but relented. He raised his wand and a key came flying into his hands. "Give this key to Luna. Pandora's notes are in Pandora's private vault at Gringotts. I believe her mother left it to her in the event that she was unable to finish her work. I don't know why I bother trying to protect Luna? When Pandora wants something she gets it, especially when it comes to her daughter. Please leave..."
Filius raised his hand. "Aren't you forgetting your promise to Harry?"
Xenophilius glared at Flitwick before focusing on Harry. "I guess you wish to hear the original Prophecy very well..."
"Draco, I understand your concern but Luna is not ready for visitors. She should be out by morning, you can speak to her then," Madam Pomfrey spoke before shutting the door to the Hospital wing.
Draco slumped against the door trying to control his emotions. Of course this was the moment another visitor arrived.
"Well, well, well, I think the Dragon's in love," Michael taunted as he stood over the weeping blonde. "Though to be honest, I think you are more of a ferret."
"Leave me alone..." Draco moaned.
"Maybe you can help me out Malfoy? I saw your girlfriend Pansy die, but what of the squib?"
Draco lunged to his feet before slamming Michael into the wall. "What did you do to her?"
"I didn't do a god dam thing Malfoy. I was there when it happened, I saw Pansy turn purple and Harry carry Luna out of the inn. I just want to see if she's ok."
"Bullshit, you want to finish what you started. I won't let you hurt her!" Draco pointed his wand at Michael's chest.
Michael started to chuckle, "Of course, you're not mourning the death of Pansy, You love Loony Lovegood."
Draco tightened the grip of his wand while Michael burst out laughing. "This is priceless. The Malfoy heir in love with a squib, not just any squib but Loony Lovegood. You never cease to amaze me Malfoy."
"Don't you dare insult her again Corner, she is amazing and kind. Luna saved my life by giving me a second chance. She doesn't deserve your bull shit."
"You feel she deserves to be with you don't you. How does it feel to be in the shadow of Harry Potter then?" Michael grinned knowingly.
"How do you think it feels? It doesn't matter, it's what I deserve," Draco whispered.
"Since when has a Malfoy ever let that stop them," said Michael menacingly.
Draco glared at Michael in silence before Corner spoke coldly. "I had nothing to do with the Loony getting poisoned. Whatever you think of me, I'm no murderer. If I find the murderer I promise you will be the first to know."
"Actually if that's true, can you let me know first Michael? You both have Wrackspurts in your ears by the way, did you know?" Luna spoke calmly, causing Draco to feint from shock. Michael stared for a couple seconds before he also collapsed, from laughter.
"Yep definitely Wrackspurts, bye," Luna hummed as she walked through the walls of the castle until she was in the Forbidden Forrest.
Draco awoke to see Michael recovering from his fit of laughter. "Come on Draco, you can do better than that."
