Plans

Pansy looks down at sits in the train car, a slight knock on the car door startling her. Pansy looks up to see an anxious Lavender, Pansy sighs, opens the door and waves her in. "Thanks," Lavender says annoyed. "I can't do anything too bad this time... The dungeons... I-I can't do that again..." She stutters.

Pansy scoffs, "Your telling me your afraid of a squib?" Rolling her eyes she pulls a piece of parchment. Lavender looks up, her mouth wide. "What do you mean? I was down there until that Filtch heard that my parents wanted me over the holiday." She wipes a tear off her cheek, "You don't know how bad it is."

"What?"

"You've never been to the dungeons..." Lavender looks back down, her voice quiet.

"I guess you weren't paying attention last year... Let's refresh!" Pansy says, her eyes burning with fury. "When Potter came back from hiding and showed himself to Snape... All the Slytherins were sent to the dungeons and if we moved, or spoke, or cried Filch would make it harder on all of us... In ways that words can't explain." Pansy's voice wavering and cracking.

Lavender looks up and furrows her eyebrows. "Oh... S-sorry." Stuttering and grabbing a quill from her hand bag.

"What's the plan?"

Hermione looks over at Ron, eating her breakfast slowly. Her heart started beating fast, 'What am I thinking?' She thought, 'I left him for his enemy... But the gift... He still cares...' She looks down at her eggs.

"Mails here!" A third year yelled as everyone looks up.

Hermione looks as a petite little snowy owl fluttered down and sat at the ridge of her goblet. She looks puzzled and grabs the note from its leg.

Hello Hermione, it seem that you are in a bit of a triangle at the moment. Visit me and the corner where you normally sit, of The Three Broomsticks, I might have what you need.

NL

'NL?' Hermione studies the note a few times over and sees ink on the other side.

Keep the owl.

She smirks and starts to think of names. She holds out her finger and the owl. 'Neville Longbottom?' She walks down to the Forbidden Forest and sees Luna and Malfoy with the Thestrils.

'Damn!' She cursed and hides behind a tree.

Draco laughs and looks over at Luna, "So, basically everybody sees these things? There's no way a person at Hogwarts hasn't seen death." He says and looks back at the Thestril.

He starts to walk off and waves back at Luna, "Thanks for the lesson Professor Lovegood!" He turns back around and grabs Hermione by the scarf and chuckles slightly. "God what is it that you want?" Draco looks in her gorgeous, caramel eyes.

"I needed a Thes-Thestril... I was going to see Luna to see if I shed be fine if I can ride one." Hermione stuttered, "I saw you and Luna... And... Well... I just thought... You were... Uhm... Hitting on her..." Her face was as red as the leaves in autumn.

Draco's eyes widen and the smirk that he had went away. "What?" His eyes fill with tears and grabs her shoulders, pulls her into a hug.

"Never..." He says as tears streak down his cheeks.
