Harry and Cassandra headed outside to write a letter to Sirius. They started to walk into the forest a bit and met up with Luna unexpectedly. The animals that were pulling the carriages were everywhere and Luna was petting one.
"Hello Harry and Cassandra Potter." Luna said, not even turning around to look at them.
"Your feet. Aren't they cold?" Harry asked, looking down at Luna's bare feet.
"A little bit." Luna answered. "Unfortunately all my shoes have mysteriously disappeared. I suspect the Nargles are behind it."
Harry looked a big confused and Cassandra chuckled. She was used to Luna's weirdness.
"What are they?" Harry asked, looking at the animals.
"They're called Thestrals. They're quite gentle really, but people avoid them because they're quite..." Luna started.
"Different?" Cassandra finished.
"Why can't the others see them?" Harry asked.
"They can only be seen by people who've seen death." Luna answered.
"So you've seen someone die then?" Harry asked and Luna nodded.
"My mom. She was quite an extraordinary witch but one day one of her spells went badly wrong. I was nine."
"I'm sorry." Harry said.
"Yes it was rather horrible. I do feel really sad about it sometimes. But, I've got dad. We both believe you guys by the way. That he-who-must-not-be-named is back and you guys fought him. And the Ministry and the Prophet are conspiring against you guys and Dumbledore."
"Thanks." Harry said.
"Seems like you're the only ones who do." Cassandra said.
"Don't think that's true." Luna throws an apple to the baby Thestral. "I suppose that's how he wants you to feel."
"What do you mean?" Cassandra asked.
"Well if I were you-know-who, I would want you to feel cut off from everyone else. Because if it's just you alone, you're not as much as a threat."

"This is mad!" Cassandra exclaimed.
"Who would want to be taught by us? We're complete nutters, remember?" Harry said.
"Look on the bright side!" Ron exclaimed. "You're better than old toad face."
"Who's supposed to be meeting us then?" Cassandra asked.
