Hermione POV

I looked in the mirror at my mess of curls, my brown eyes, and pale face. I titled my head a bit and gave myself a fake smile.

It was the morning after the Night Of Letters.

I went back down the hallway, towards the room of requirement, it being a Sunday, and I needing alone time.

"Hello Hermione. How are you?" Asked a petal-soft voice. Luna stepped out of the room of requirement. "I was practicing my spells, but I would be happy to share" She said, her voice so innocent, and sane.

I nodded my thanks. "That would be great" I needed alone time, but Luna was a great girl. She walked through the wall, and A question popped into my head.

"Hey Luna! What do nargles look like?" I blurted out. Luna stopped, half of her in the wall, half of her on the hallway. She pondered my question.

"Do you know what Will 'O The Wisps look like?" She asked. I nodded. "They look blue wisps and they float" I answer.

"Well, some of them look like that, except black, and some look like three inch nomes with black hats and bright yellow jackets and little pants. Also, those kinds are called Nargles Geronta and the wisps are called Nargles Fillius after Filius Flitwick" she said.

I smile, impressed. "I never thought of it that way. After practice, we could go hunt for some" I say. I don't believe in nargles at all, and I think it is very illogical, but Luna is one of my best friends right now. I'm sure Harry hates me, and Ron......

"No thanks" She says, pulling out her wand as we step all the way inside. I am slightly taken aback. "W-What? Why not?" I ask startled.

Luna smiles in an un-Luna like way. "Well, I am going later, but it would be a bit-uncomfortable-with you tagging along on.. well, mine and Neville's first date" She confessed shyly.

My smile spread across my face. "You and Neville! Wow! When? How? Where? Why?" I asked. She went back to calmly practicing spells as she spoke (the room had taken the form of Dumbledoor's Amy Meeting Room)

She cast a patronus and a bunny hopped around, glimmering. "Well, he saved me in the battle of Hogwarts. He was very courageous, and after the battle, we got to talking. He was fascinated by Nargles, Crumple Horned Shornshacks, and so on. So I toke a liking towards him"

I cast my own patronus, and we sat in silence for a moment, refreshing our spells. My otter glided through the air.

"We should duel" I offered, breaking the comforting silence. "Of course, Hermione" She smiled.

"Expeleramus" I yelled, but she had waved her wand just before I. "Flipendo" I was shot back in the air, but cast a charm to break my fall. "Rictumsemspra" I yelled, and she doubled over in laughter, gasping for enough air to shout, "Expeleramus" and my wand flew away. I caught it just before it hit the ground.

We practiced more easy spells, and then I started to gather my spellbook and my wand. "Bye Luna" I said. "Bye Hermione! Off to see Draco?"

I stopped dead in my tracks. "W-What?"
