I woke up to find Eva staring at me from her bed, her shoulder-length brown hair in a bedhead mess. "What did you need the ice for?" She asked, cocking her head. I showed her my wrists, causing her to gasp. "I have them on my ankles and waist as well." I told her.

 "You should tell Moody and Sirius." She said to me. I rolled out of bed and changed into leggings and a white t-shirt with a blue hoodie over it. As I brushed my hair, I told Eva firmly, "I don't think so Ev. They have enough to deal with as it is."

She frowned and started to change. I grabbed my wand from the nightstand and put it in my hoodie, where there was a secret compartment for it. Eva grabbed her new wand and put it in her pants. I chuckled and she looked up at me. "What're you laughing at?"

"Nothing, it's just that Harry does that too." I grinned. She rolled her eyes and opened the door. We walked downstairs and started to smell pancakes. "I think I'm going to like being a witch a lot more than traveling around with Mum and Dad." Eva commented, taking a seat next to Tonks.

Ever since Voldemort came back last year, I told my parents to leave England, until it was safe. They had been traveling around, but stayed mostly in Germany for Dad's work. "Speaking of Mum and Dad," I said, eyeing my owl come in from the window.

Hermes, like the God of Messages in Greek Mythology, was a brown barn owl with a white face. He landed in front of me and I snatched the letter from his mouth. I noticed Fred and George sit down next to me and start to load up on food.

"What'd your parents say?" Fred asked, reaching for the maple syrup. I smiled and handed it to Eva. "The usual report." He nodded and reached to grab his napkin that fell on the floor. As he got up he paused and looked down at something then up at me.

"Laurel, what's on your ankles?" Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me. "They're rope burns!" Eva cut in, sending me a look. I gave one back to her and nodded. "From your dream?" Harry asked, who was just sitting down.

I nodded again and stared down at my pancakes. "Did you treat them?" Fred asked. I frowned. "I put ice on them, but I was too exhausted from talking with...I mean I was just not thinking." I said quickly, trying to hide the fact that I had just blown my cover. Crap.

"What'd you just say?" Eva asked. I shook my head. "Never mind." They seemed suspicious, but let it go.

A Few Weeks Later

I pushed my trolley along the pavement as I, along with many others from the Order, walked through Kings Cross Station. Eva was looking around excitedly, pushing along her own. Moody was at the front with Lupin and Tonks, while Kingsley and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley took up the end.

Us kids, including Me, Eva, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, and Ginny were in the middle. Charlie and Bill Weasley had been there, but went to work. I noticed a black shaggy dog pad in between us, making his way towards the front. I smiled, knowing it was Sirius in his Animagus form.

We called him Padfoot when he was a dog. "Is that Sirius?" Eva asked me quietly. She knew how he was considered a criminal when he had done nothing wrong. He escaped from Azkaban in my Third Year, she'd only been nine. "We call him Padfoot when he's a dog." I whispered back.

She nodded and stopped walking when we were in front of the 9 3/4 wall. Fred, George, and Ginny went first, waiting for us afterwards. Eva and I went next, and so on. After I made sure Eva was settled in, Harry and I made our way through the train, looking for somewhere to sit. Ron and Hermione were Prefects, so they got to sit in the section for Prefects and Head Boys and Girls.

I knew Harry had taken not getting picked as one to heart, and I felt bad. But I hadn't been picked either and I had been on most of the adventures Harry had been on. We finally found an empty car and sat down. I placed my feet onto the seats next to Harry, who was on the opposite side of me, and grabbed an Astronomy book.

A few hours later, we arrived at Hogwarts and met up with Ron and Hermione. We walked to the carriage area and waited for the next one. Neville walked up and stood with us, holding some plant. I spotted Cho Chang riding with her friends in the one that had just pulled away.

She smiled at Harry, who just stared after her. I snorted quietly and turned around to see the next carriage pulling up. I watched in awe as I realized there was a creature pulling it. It's body with covered in a thin layer of skin, so thin you could see the outlines of it's bones. It's face had reptilian features, and big, wings that were tucked into it's side, reminding me of a bat's.

Apparently, Harry could see it too because he was asking, "What is that?" Hermione gave him a weird look before replying, "Nothing Harry, the carriage is pulling itself like always." It was then, everything clicked into place for me.

I 'oohed' out loud and everyone turned to look at me. I turned to Harry and told him, "It's called a Thestral. They can only be seen by people who've seen death." Hermione frowned and looked where I was looking.

I patted it's nose and walked into the carriage. Ron sat down next to me with Neville on my other side. A girl sat next to Harry and Hermione, holding an odd magazine. She pulled it away from her face, revealing long, curly blond hair.

"Everyone this is Looney Love-" Hermione stopped abruptly, realizing she had just called her by the mean name some people on the train had been using.

"Luna Lovegood." Apparently Luna didn't notice and just looked around at us. I smiled when she looked at me, and watched as she returned it.

"That's an interesting necklace." Hermione commented, filling the awkward silence that had overcome us.

"It’s a charm, actually. Keeps away the Nargles." Luna said softly, leaning toward us. "Hungry. I hope there’s pudding." I cocked my head to the side, and suddenly, a picture of the Hogwarts kitchen came into view. I saw the House Elves just preparing the desserts now. And sure enough, there was pudding.

"There will be..." I said, confused on how that happened. "What?" Neville furrowed his eyebrows. I pointed to my necklace and they all oohed, except Luna.

Ron leaned over and whispered in my ear. "What’s a Nargle?" I whispered back, "That, Ron, I have no idea. I'll have to look for that in a book later." He nodded, chuckling under his breath. A grin formed on my face as I sat back and watched Hogwarts come into view. After all, I was home.
