LUNA'S POV

I finished sweeping and wiped the sweat that was forming on my forehead. Since I had to stay in the ROR while everyone else had to go to classes I decided to be in charge of a lot of the cleaning duties. Sure some days were harder than others but I wanted to help them out just like they were for me.

I looked around and mentally checked off everything that I had on my list of things to do.

'Beds made? Check'

'Floors are swept? Check'

'Dusting? Check'

The only thing I had to do was mop the floors; I only do this once a week if I have to but this week in particular was dirty; I swear it looked like a pig-sty in here; Alberforth gave us some Fire Whisky because of the Easter weekend that had just passed; we were now in the middle of April.

It was a mistake to give a bunch of sixth and seventh years Whisky; but once it was in their hands there was no stopping them; now I'm paying for it.

I summoned a mop from another room and began my rounds; grabbing an extra mop to mop next to mine so it covered more area at once.

I heard the door open and looked over; seeing Cho walk inside.

"Hey Cho" I waved; waving my wand at the mops and forcing them back in the closet.

"How was class" she groaned and dropped her books on her bed,

"Dreadful; they wanted us to torture first years" my hand went to my mouth as I held back a gasp.

"That's terrible" she nodded and looked around; just realizing how clean it was in here.

"You seem to be having fun; did you clean all day?" I blushed and smiled sheepishly,

"Jesus Luna when you said you wanted to help out we didn't mean clean the whole bloody room for everyone" I shrugged; I didn't really mind.

"I don't mind; besides it's boring having to be in here with no one else"

"Yes but I feel bad that you cleaned up after everyone; I don't want anyone trying to walk over you" I smiled and nodded,

"Okay well if it helps I won't do this much cleaning anymore" she smiled in return; reaching out and putting her hand over my arm. I flinched back and pushed her hand off of my arm; it was still sensitive from what Bellatrix had written on my arm.

"Are you okay?" I nodded and tried to pull my long sleeve further down my wrist. She grabbed my hand and the end of my sleeve and tugged it up before I could stop her. She gasped when she saw the words Blood Traitor written across my arm in jagged writing.

"Oh my god Luna-"

"-Stop don't say anything" I looked away and shoved my sleeve back down and refused to look at her. I didn't want to talk about what had happened to me at the Manor; I was hoping to keep that a secret; but now Cho knows and I'm dreading the interrogation that I'm about to receive.

"...What happened at the manor Luna" she demanded; I bit my lip but didn't reply. I heard her sigh from behind,

"Luna talk to me; I'm your best friend! We talk to each other about everything!" I shut my eyes tight; images of the months at the manor flashed in front of my eyes; I could feel myself shaking a bit.
