"Luna, what are you doing?" I asked her.
She turned around, and smiled at me.
"Looking for Wrackspurts." Luna giggled.
"That explains the glasses." I chuckled.
"Over there" Luna pointed down the cart at the floor.
They were invisible to the naked eye.
With a wave of her wand, Harry Potter appeared on the floor.
He must have been covered by his invisibility cloak.
Harry sat up, then pulled himself up to his feet.
"Thanks, Luna. What are you doing?" Harry asked her.
His face had dried blood on it, and his nose was crooked and swollen.
"Looking for Wrackspurts, you're heads full of them. " Luna warned him.
Harry picked up his cloak, and the three of us got off the train.
"Sorry you guys missed the carriages." Harry said.
"That's ok, what happened?" I asked Harry, as we walked through the gate.
"Nothing." He quickly replied.
"We've been looking all over for your three! Names?" Professor Flitwick exclaimed.
"Names? You've known me for the last five years." Harry replied.
"Well with these times, you can never be to careful... Potter." Flitwick replied, as he enchanted the gate.
By the piles of luggage there stood Draco, along with Snape and Mr Filtch.
Draco looked up at us, the moonlight reflected off his ivory skin.
"Nice face, Potter." Draco spat at him.
Harry gave Draco a simple nod, as Draco turned and walked away.
"Harry, did he do this to you?" I asked Harry, as I grabbed the back of his arm.
"Later." Harry replied sternly.
So Draco probably did do it.
Harry wouldn't be so defensive if he didn't.
"Let me fix your nose." Luna said, as she pulled her wand out quickly.
"Have you ever fixed a nose before?" Harry asked her.

"No, but I've done several toes. How different are they, really?" Luna smiled.
"Alright, give it a go." Harry took his glasses off of his face.
With a simple spell, Harry's nose cracked back into place.
"Ahhh!.... how do I look?" Harry groaned, as his nose turned back straight.
He put his glasses back on his face, and gave us a smile.
"You look... exceptionally ordinary." Luna put her wand back into her pocket.
"Brilliant." Harry smiled.
We walked quickly too the castle, and took our seats at the Gryffindor table.
Harry held a wadded up rag to his nose, to help the bleeding stop.
As professor Dumbledore introduced professor Slughorn.
He taught here years, and years ago.
He also made an appearance here a year or two ago, and showed the love potion one class.
I guess he was teaching potions this year, moving professor Snape to defense against the dark arts.
As Dumbledore spoke, my eyes floated over to Draco.
He sat at the Slytherin table, as stared blankly at the table top.
Something was different about Draco this year.
He was less cheerful, he seemed sad.
Like a piece of him was missing.
"Now, all of you best be heading back to your dormitories, pip pip." Dumbledore wrapped his speech up.
Everyone began to shuffle, and get up from their tables.
It took Draco a few seconds to shake back to reality.
He blinked quickly, before standing up, and disappearing into the crowd of people.
Hermione, Ron, Harry, and I began making our way to the Gryffindor commodore.
"Draco looks different, almost ill." Hermione whispered to me, as we entered the Gryffindor common room.
"Who can tell the difference." I spoke harshly, as I pushed past everyone and went to our room.

I didn't mean for it to come out that way, I guess I was still angry at him.
It was hard going from talking to him everyday, to not talking at all.
After all we did, I truly did care about Draco... weather I liked it or not.
I quickly unpacked my things, and changed before laying down on my bed.
"Well, that was rather harsh." Hermione spoke, as she entered our room.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I guess I've got a lot on my mind, and I didn't mean to take it out on you." I apologized to her.
"It's alright, you wanna talk about it?" Hermione asked as she unpacked.
"Maybe another day, you'd probably be mad at me for it anyway." I let out a little chuckle at the end.
"Probably." She laughed back.
...
Hermione and I, entered professor Slughorn's room.
Our first class of the day was potions.
Hermione and I, passed all of our OWL's perfectly.... it's all thinks to her, and her locket.
We grabbed our text books from the closet, and sat down.
Draco entered the classroom with his friends.
As soon as he entered the room, I could smell him.
Draco's nose scrunched up, as he grabbed his text book from the closet.
I locked eyes with Draco from across the room.
Draco squinted his eyes at me, as he began making his way over.
"Shit." I mumbled, as I quickly looked down at the table.
"Ah, so it's you... Stewart. Stinking up the room." Draco spat at me.
I looked up at him, and raised an eyebrow.
"Me?" I questioned, "I could smell you as soon as you walked into that door."
"I could smell you down the hallway. " Draco scuffed, as he walked away and took his seat.
Hermione let out a little giggle, as she paged through her book.
"What?" I asked her.
"You'll see." She chuckled.
"Ok class, gather around." Professor Slughorn announced. Everyone got up, and circled around him and the table in the center of the room.
The table had three cauldrons on it, and a small vile.
Harry and Ron walked into the room, and stopped in the door way.
