I stare down into my Butterbeer, trying to block out Blaise's laughter.
"Who. Is. It." I ask through grit teeth,
"Look for yourself." Blaise sniggers and I look around, heart in my throat. Standing in the doorway is none other than dreamy-eyed Luna Lovegood.
"Go on, we had a deal." I can sense the enjoyment in Blaise's voice. He loves winding me up. I stumble to my feet,
"Uh..." I raise my voice, "Loony- I mean Luna, over here!" I slump down into my seat, my face reddening. Luna pushes her Spectrespecs up and looks over towards us.
"Draco?" She says dreamily, brow furrowed in confusion.
"Sit with us...?" I murmur into my Butterbeer, sensing people looking at us. There is a soft thump as she perches on the chair.
"Hi Luna." Blaise can barely hold back his laughter, "Have some Butterbeer?" I glance up in time to see her pull out her wand and flick it sharply.

"Sorry Draco, Blaise. Oh, here's a copy of the Quibbler." She pulls a magazine out of her satchel and places it on the table. Then she's gone.
"Am I the only one currently feels like shit." Blaise remarks and I thump my fist on the table. I down my Butterbeer and call for another. The next one's gone just as fast as the first.
"Let's just go." I push my chair back, scraping it along the ground. Blaise slaps 8 sickles on the table and follows me out. We are trekking back to Hogwarts when there is a screech and my eagle owl, Gray lands on my arm. I stroke his grey-brown feathers, then notice the letter tied to his leg,
