Chapter 12

(Ron's POV)

I smiled and shook my head in awe. She [Luna] is a remarkable lady.

"Can I talk to you about something?" a small voice said. I looked up to see a little Ravenclaw standing there looking at her shoes. I smiled at her and motioned her to sit down. I feel nice helping others. It makes that pain lift off my chest, even if it's just for a minute.

Blaise's POV
(After he ran out of the Astronomy Tower)

I kept going down the stairs till I reached the hallway where Pansy and Draco were waiting. They already had their glamours off so I grabbed my wand and disabled my charm quickly joining them.

When Draco saw me he scowled and detached himself from Pansy's arms walking up to me.

"How dare you leave us for that ginger weasel!" he shouted hitting me on the shoulder. I winced and rubbed my shoulder.

"Sorry Dray, but you would do the same thing for Potter so you can't get too mad" I said while he looked at me and then sighed.

"Well only for a little" he pouted while rubbing my shoulder and mumbling a little "sorry". I chuckled and patted his head before Pansy came to my other side.

"I'm glad you fixed your mistake mom now let's go see Mira. Any new... messages?" Pansy asked making sure to lower her voice when she said the last word. We started walking and I shook my head no.

"That makes two of us. I don't have anything to send and I don't think I'm receiving anything, Draco?" she asked while looking at Draco.

Just to clear the air Mira is an owl. She is 3 years old and Draco found her while in his garden at the manor this past summer. She wouldn't leave him alone so he secretly took her and kept her in his room.

As Draco is basically trapped in his room when he's at his home, Mira became very important to him. So he brought her to Hogwarts with him this year. It just so happens that we found out our owls gifted from our parents were being monitored. Everything we sent and everything we were given. Pansy's parents were the ones to tell us. The Dark Lord wanted to know what his "underlings" were up to.

So Draco didn't tell anyone but Pansy and I about Mira so we could use her to send things to people whether they're important or not. We know that if anyone figured out about Mira that knew the Dark Lord or was against us they would tell Snape and we would be punished so we couldn't keep her in the dorms or the Owlery.

The only other person we could think of that would take good care of her was Hagrid. It took a lot of convincing to Draco, but Pansy and I won. So far though we've been checking in on her daily.

"Actually I wanted to send a message to Four and Five. They've been wanting to know about the S.A.F.E group ever since I messaged them about it last time" Draco said while rolling his eyes. Oh another thing last year during the school year Draco got a random letter, before our owls were under surveillance, from two guys named "Four and Five". They said they wanted to be friends with us three but said that it'd be easier to send a message to only one of us and that person happened to be Draco.

We sent messages back and forth for a long time. We found out they were at Hogwarts but that's all. We didn't really even try to look into the names because we knew they weren't the mysterious peoples' real names. We found out we were correct when we got a letter towards the end of last year.

It basically said that those were fake names but they couldn't give their real ones because we would never give them a chance if they did. We tried for a long time, and still are, for them to give us their names but they never did and still haven't.
