A/N: my friend pointed out that Luna is in Ginny’s grade which I didn’t know. I had written the entire encounter with Luna before she mentioned this and so my facts are wrong.Deal with it :P

I sat in the chair and cried until it was dark. When I was sure everyone was in the Great Hall for dinner, I stuck my head out of the Room of Requirement and ran down the hall to the Slytherin common room.  As I turned the corner to pass the library, I noticed a girl with blonde hair walking around, staring absentmindedly into space. She stopped watching the ceiling and looked at me.

“Have you ever heard of Nargles?” she asked me.

“No and I don’t care about them!”

“You’re Sierra right? I recognize you from the Sorting Ceremony.”

“Yeah I am. Why do you care?”

 “I was just wondering. Why are you upset?”

“ It’s nothing.”

“it must be something. You’ve obviously been crying for awhile.”

“Please. Just leave me alone.”

“Ok. I’m Luna by the way. Luna Lovegood.” I nodded my head and ran off again, hoping I wouldn’t meet anymore random people. But I seemed to have bad luck and I ran into a clumsy boy.

“Ugh. Not again!”

“Did you lose your toad too?”

“No. I’m having a bad day. Toads are stupid.” The boy’s face fell and I immediately felt sorry for him.

“You really are a Slytherin!” he said. He looked like he was on the verge of tears.

“I-I’m sorry. Do you want me to help you find your toad?” I wiped a couple loose tears from my eyes. I figured crying until I dehydrated could wait till later. Besides, maybe helping him would get me a new friend or two. Since I’ve been avoiding Draco, I have no one to talk to or hang out with. Although it probably doesn’t help that we’ve been here for about 3 days and I’ve only hung out with Draco and a couple Slytherins. Most were either extremely stupid or extremely boring. Or in Pansy’s case, extremely and utterly annoying. The boy nodded.

“I’m Neville.” The boy said.

“I’m Sierra.” The boy started walking and I hurried to catch up with him. He was still sniffling so I reached over and slipped my hand in his. He looked at me and smiled. Then we set off to find his toad.

A/N: what do you think? Who should I put together Neville and Sierra or Draco and Sierra? Or one of the twins? ugh i hate this writers block i have!
