Luna: Hello everyone

Ginny: [Hugs Luna] Luna! I've missed you!

Luna: I've missed you too, all of you. Blue how have you been doing over the holidays?

Blue: I've been good

I go and sit down which the others do as well, we all start talking and I noticed that there was something in Neville's hand.

Blue: What's that Neville?

Neville: It's my birthday present, a mimbulus mimbletonia, a very rare plant.

When he pokes the thing, it blasts everyone in the compartment with Stinksap.......well I was lucky to not get struck by it. At that moment, Cho Chang opens the compartment door.

Cho: O-Oh hello Harry

Cho awkwardly leaves and Ginny cleans up the mess.

Blue: Neville....please don't touch things that will do that

Neville: I-I'll try

An hour later, Ron and Hermione show up, exhausted, they reveal that the prefects for Slytherin are Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson.

Blue: I'll congratulate the both of them when I see them later.

Harry: What about for Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?

Ron: For Hufflepuff it’s Ernie Macmillan and Hannah Abbott.

Hermione: For Ravenclaw it’s Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil.

Luna: Padma? Ron, didn't you take her to the Yule Ball yesterday?

Ron: Y-Yes

Luna: She didn't think you were a good date because you refused to dance with her

Ron: I know, I had Blue remind me yesterday. Anyways let's not talk about last year, I want to focus on this year because I can’t wait to get Crabbe or Goyle for something when we patrol at night, they won't be messing with me anymore

Hermione: Ron we can’t abuse our positions, we need to be role models

Blue: Come on Hermione, abuse the power

Ron: Yeah cause you know Malfoy will, I want to make Goyle do lines, writing out that he “must not look like a baboon’s backside.”

Blue: HAH!

We all laugh, but Luna shrieks and squawks and falls off the train seat so I help her up.

Blue: You okay? That was a bit wild of you

Luna: [Blushes but Smiles] Y-Yes I'm fine

Blue: Alright, but please don't do that again. I don't want you banging your head on something.

Harry notices that the copy of the Quibbler Luna dropped has a headline about Sirius on it and asks to borrow it. He realises that this must be the copy that Kingsley had given to Arthur to hand over to his godfather.

The article asks whether Sirius is a notorious mass murderer, or in fact, a singing sensation.

Blue:......You know what....whoever wrote that might be onto something

Harry: Don't let him hear that, anyways it also suggests that "Sirius is a false name and that the man is actually the lead singer of a band called The Hobgoblins, whose career ended when he was hit by a turnip at a concert and subsequently retired"

Blue: Oh lord Luna, please tell me you have a copy

Luna: I do, sometimes I carry extra articles with me because I often lose them
