Luna sat by Trace's bed in the hospital wing. She didn't realize it, but she was gripping Trace's hand with her own. Soon, Madam Pomphrey came back with a potion. "This should put him right within a few hours." The medical witch said, and Luna smiled and nodded. After the potion stuff was done, Luna sat next to her friends bed, waiting. Luckily for her, she had brought a copy of The Quibbler. She started reading it - upside down. Hours passed, and Luna sat reading her father's magazine. Trace did eventually wake up, and he smiled. "Always reading aren't you?" He said, which startled Luna. She put the magazine away, and quickly released Trace's hand from her grip. Trace sat up, and stood up. Luna wrapped him in a huge hug, which Trace gladly returned. She let go. "I'm glad you're ok. I put the blue orb away, and by the door to your room. Actually, I put it in your room." She said dreamily. "H-How did you get in my dorm?" Trace said, startled. "Unlocking charm. Simple." Luna shrugged, and walked out beside Trace. "So what are we gonna do?" Trace asked. Luna tilted her head for a moment. "We could go down by the lake." She suggested, and Trace nodded. The two Ravenclaws headed down to the lake. The sun was still shining brightly in the sky, and the minimal amount of clouds made for the perfect day. Luna was smiling all the way down to the lake, which made Trace smile. The two sat down on the edge of the water, and Luna ruffled Trace's bright blue hair. Trace laughed and playfully splashed a bit of water at her. Luna laughed, and splashed him back. The splash was much bigger than Trace's, and he was soaked. He sat, dripping wet for a moment, then jumped up and gave Luna a huge hug. They both laughed, and they both fell over next to each other. "I think I should dry off." Trace said, standing up. He whispered an incantation, and his wand tip gave off heat. He used it to dry his sopping wet robes, and Luna's less wet robes. The two walked to the common room, and sat next to each other. They both needed to study for upcoming classes, and they studied nearly the entire rest of the day. They studied until about 1:00 AM, when Luna fell asleep leaning against Trace's shoulder. Trace put bookmarks in the place they stopped, and let Luna sleep. He eventually fell asleep as well, and they both stayed on the couch until the morning when they woke up. Luna was first to wake up, and saw that she had fallen asleep practically on Trace. She blushed a little, and sat up quickly. Trace woke up soon after to the noises of Luna getting their books and parchment ready. Trace sat up as well, and Luna saw that he was awake. "Hello." She said simply, and handed him his notes and books. "Hello." He said back, taking his things. He smiled a little when he saw her Butterbeer cork necklace around her neck. "I see you're wearing your necklace." He said. "I thought I saw a couple Nargles around here, so I put it on." She replied. "It looks very nice." He said, walking through the door next to her. "Thank you." She smiled, and they both continued walking. They headed to the Transfiguration room, where a small tabby cat was waiting in the empty classroom. "Hello Professor." Trace said, smiling. Professor McGonagall transformed back into her human form, and gestured to two seats at the front of the classroom. Luna and Trace sat down, opened their books, and waited. 15 minutes later, people started coming in. The Ravenclaws all sat down at their desks, and opened their books. Trace and Luna took their wands out, and everyone else did as well.

Later that day after their classes, the two were sitting in the common room. The window near them was open, and the chilly air flew in. It was the end of November, and someone had already started putting Christmas decorations up. Trace already had in mind what he was getting Luna for Christmas. Luna also knew what to get Trace. They sat next to each other on the common room couch. It was Friday, and they got to relax. Trace's sister Hermione had written to him about their horrible Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge. Trace and Luna had already been in her class enough to know that Hermione was right. But they didn't worry about her right now. They just worried about what they were going to do over the weekend. "Hey Luna, would you wanna go to Hogsmede this weekend?" Trace asked. "As friends." He added. Luna smiled. "Sure. I'll meet you down there tomorrow at 1:00." Trace seemed mildly surprised. This was the first time Luna hadn't had her dreamy voice. It was serious, but in a cheerful way, which made Trace smile. He nodded, and looked back at the fire.

1:00 on Saturday came quickly, and Trace walked out of the common room with his coat and hat. The hat didn't fully cover his bright blue hair, but it covered his ears. He had a blue and gold scarf, with a Ravenclaw Eagle on his coat. Luna was already there with her Butterbeer cork necklace. She also had a hat, but it was all gold. Her coat was all blue, and she had gloves on. Trace waved, and walked over. "Ready?" Luna nodded. "Then let's head out." Trace smiled, and led the way down to the village of Hogsmede. The village was packed, and the two 4th years didn't know where to head first. "How about Honeydukes?" Luna suggested. "I've always wanted to try their candy." She said dreamily. Trace smiled again, and nodded. The two headed to the candy shop, and bought as much as they could carry. Luna was biting into a chocolate bar when she ran into someone. She nearly fell over, but Trace caught her. She steadied herself. The two people turned, and smiled. Trace narrowed his eyes, and smiled slightly. "You're the Weasley twins. Fred and George." Fred nodded. "You're a smart one aren't you?" George said, also smiling. "We just came here to go to Zonkos." Fred said, pointing to a shop a couple yards away. Luna nodded, and bit into her chocolate bar again. "Well, it was nice seeing you two." Trace said as the twins walked away snickering about something. The two 4th years started to walk back to the castle, Luna carrying an armful of candy and Trace with a bag of candy. Luna continued to eat her chocolate, and Trace led the way back to Hogwarts. When they got inside the common room, the two plopped down onto the couch, and Trace began writing a letter. Luna just continued eating her chocolate.
