Hi! The picture is of Crystal's hair and dress. See you at the bottom!

"Luna! Crystal's here!" Ginny announced.

Luna came bouncing down the stairs and greeted me.

"You look gorgeous!" Ginny smiled.

"So do you two!" I said to Luna and Ginny.

"What time does the party start?" I asked.

"Well, we're having the party in year groups, the first years are having their party now. Ours will be after theirs." Luna explained.

"Ravenclaws have parties all the time! According to Luna that is." Ginny added in.

It was 5pm, and the party was starting.

All we really did was dance, snack, and chat. Luna, Ginny and I stuck together all night.

The party finished at about 7pm, and the third and fourth years were coming down for their party.

"Thanks for inviting us Luna. See you tomorrow." I said.

Ginny and I walked back to the common room.

"Hermione, it's the 6th. We need to go see Hagrid." I said looking out the window towards Hagrid's Hut, anxiously twirling my fingers in my lap.

"We have exams today don't we?" I asked.

"Third years have DADA today. That's all."

I nodded. "DADA and Potions for us."

"I just hope Hagrid is okay. I mean, he's been really down in lessons lately." Hermione sighed.

"No talking." Snape shushed a Gryffindor student.

We were sitting the Potions exam.

I rolled my eyes at the seventh question on the exam sheet.

'What is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfsbane?'

Snape always asks this question in class, if anyone gets this wrong I will personally hit them across the head with my copy of 'Hogwarts, a History.'

Potions is easy. I don't understand why people find it so hard. I mean, follow the instructions and you will be fine. It's easy.

I put my hand up to let Professor Snape know I had finished my exam.

"Full marks." He said, dismissing me.

I left the room, a smug smile on my face as I look at everyone else's bewildered faces.

I went straight to the DADA room, although I knew I was going to be waiting for ages be had the third years would still be doing their practical exam.

Surprisingly, Remu- I mean Professor Lupin was outside of the classroom.

"Hello Christella." He smiled.

"Hi Professor." I said.

I know when to call him professor, because we worked out a system. Remus will say hello to me first. If he acknowledges me as 'Christella', I will address him as Professor Lupin. If he calls me 'Crystal', then I can call him Remus. It's a very effective system.

Remus let me do my exam early.

Apparently I was supposed to be doing my exam with the third years anyway, but I forgot about that.
