"Oh my..." the Professor stares in disbelief. "We must fetch Luna! Come!"
I hurry after the Professor, passing a few other ones on the way and as we passed, Professor Longbottom explained what we saw. We continue to press on, more people gathering behind us.
"What could this mean?" one said. "Are you wondering what Professor Lovegood might know?" another said. Professor Longbottom just ignored them as he walks into a certain classroom, a woman sitting Indian style on her desk hums to a drowsy tune.
"Miss Lovegood!" Professor Longbottom exclaims. Her eyes open, showing blue eyes that ice would be jealous of.
She smiles daintily at the Professor, "What is wrong? Come for your daily fortune?"
"Actually, I was wondering about the girl you saved yesterday," he gestures to me. I stand there as she gets off her desk and inspects me closely.
"Ah yes," she grabs my hands and closes her eyes.
"What is she doing?" I gasp.
Her eyes snap open and when she speaks, it's a raspy version of her smooth voice, "When souls collide they create a new tide of revenge and woe. Its heart will be cold, its future will be bright, only a choice to change it all," I stare at her vacant eyes, Professor Longbottom watching intently. "When the choice is nigh, it must decide to obey or rebel."
"What does this mean Professor Lovegood?" one teacher asks with a Russian accent.
She looks over at them with a clueless stare, letting go of my red hands.
"Oh sorry about that, I hope I didn't scare you!" the woman smiles at me, gently patting one of my hands.
"Luna, please, can you translate?" Professor Longbottom squeezes her shoulder gently.
She looks at him with sorrowful eyes, "I'm afraid that's for her to decode."
"Sir! The children are arriving!" a man with a trench coat and eyes that look mad as if they're stuck in that position says. A cat sits beside him, licking its paws.
Professor Longbottom rubs his temples, "My Dear, we must speak of this another time. Right now it's time for the feast." he directs his next sentence to Miss Lovegood, "Please go clean up the infirmary and try to find out what happened. The rest of you," he looks to the teachers, "prepare for the feast."
I nod my head as Miss Lovegood waves goodbye, "Good luck with your journey, girl." She taps a finger on her nose.
The teachers crowd around Luna, asking her questions as the Professor and I walk out the corridor. Then they nod their heads when she tells them no and walk out the classroom, all going different directions.
"Miss Lovegood is strange, yes?" Professor Longbottom says as if reading my thoughts.
I hug my elbows, a little embarrassed to judge one I only just met, "I suppose, Sir... Though, it seems like she knows something I don't..."
The Professor laughs, "Isn't that the same with all of us. No matter how many times we beg, she never reveals her secrets."
I smile at his warmth at the subject, "Are you two good friends?"
He smiles to the ceiling with warmth that the sun would be jealous of, "Well, in my perspective, yes. We've been through a lot together, even fought a war together with the famous Harry Potter."
I knit my eyebrows together, for some reason troubled by the name, "Who is Harry Potter?"
The Professor gives me an apologetic glance, "Oh, forgive me. I forgot your memory is lacking. Then again, you may have not known in the first place. Harry Potter is one of the most famous wizards of all time. He was a great friend of mine and together we defeated a mighty foe. It was more him than I, but to keep my dignity," he laughs, "I tend to say we both defeated him."
I smile as he opens up the doors to a large feasting hall, the ceiling coming together at a point and the doors large enough for a giant to come join the feast. I gasp as ghosts fly by, some taking off their head, some holding a head, and some with no head.
"Ah yes, here we are! The Dining Hall!" Professor Longbottom opens up his arms. Suddenly, out of nowhere, food clutters all the tables in glory and the air above changes to a starlit night sky. It's a beautiful sight to see.
"Wow..." I say, baffled by the beauty.
The Professor has a proud glimmer in his eyes as he scans the Hall, "Yes indeed! Now, let's set up the Sorting Hat!"
