"MOON! Moon! Please be okay!" A tap on her shoulder woke her, she groaned and tiredly swatted the hand away. Her whole body ached and her eyes were glued shut. with all the strength she could muster, she pushed her eyes open, only to shut them from the pain of bright sunlight. Blinking a couple of time she moved her head around, gazing around at her surrounding, Mackenzie found herself in the hospital wing. Lupin face came into view, he was covered in sweat and kept putting at his hair. Horror and worry struck his face, as he paced around.
"You look like you've seen death." Moon chuckled slowly pulling herself into a sitting position. Lupin whipped around at the sound of her voice. He rushed over to her helping her carefully sit up.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're okay! Well...more alive." He exclaimed "I um...heard that... you, Hermione and Harry were attacked by a wolf. I have something important-"
"I'm sure the wolf meant no harm, he kinda reminds me of someone I know." Moon protected to think.
"What-what... you- you uh know!" Remmy was utterly speechless. Mackenzie winked as she grabbed some sweets off her bedside table.
"Who do you think made you that wolfsbane last mouth?" The blonde smirked, Lupin stared at her wide-eyed.
"That was you, I thought- I thought when you found out you would- would... freak." He looked extremely confused.
"Wellllll, I did at first, but you know I thought more about, I figured as long as you don't kill me I'll be fine." Moon chuckled

Wondering into her dorm room after Madam Pomfrey dismissed her, she smiled when she saw Astreria seated on her trunk that was busting with stuff, trying to push it shut.
"Could I...have some...help?" Treria begged as she struggled to keep her suitcase from busting open. Moon giggled, helping the curly-haired girl with all her astronomy equipment using an extendable charm to fit everything. Luna soon drifted into the room with a blue letter in hand.
"I think your owl got the wrong person." Luna implied passing the envelope over to the short, blonde.
"Gabby must have written to me." She beamed ripping open the letter that held the Beauxbatons symbol on the front. She flopped onto Astreria's bed glancing down at the paper.
Dear Macky,
I just received your letter, the post is horribly slow. I've missed you here at the Beauxabtons, I've been receiving a lot fewer detentions with your absences. However during one, I overheard Madam Maxime talking about us visiting Scotland, that means I might see you! I'm working on my English so hopefully, I will be fluent by September.
Thank you for my birthday present, all the other girls are jealous that I've got something from London. Emily Leah even tried to trade perfume for it, which Fleur found hilarious. I just went out to buy your present, I'll send it next month. I heard Sirius Black came to your school! If your dead, I'm going to kill you. I'll come all the way from Southern France to Yorkshire. Did you get his autograph? If you did you have to give me a copy. Anywho, I can't wait to see you again, we have so much to talk about. I heard you don't have to study Etiquette, which I believe is completely unfair if I have to learn how to eat lettuce properly, then you should too. On a high level of importance; how does it feel being related to the chosen one? Tell me everything!
From your greatest friend, Gabby.
Mackenzie grinned at the letter, packing it away in her rucksack, chucking it over her shoulder. She linked arms with Luna and Astreria as they made their way to the Great Hall for their last 3rd-year breakfast.
"Next year we'll be in year 4. We're getting soo old." Astreria complained, twirling around with her arms in the air.
"Talk for yourself, I'm 4 months younger than you," Moon exclaimed but stopped walking. She gazed up at the roof, the two over Ravenclaws followed her eyes. "Would you like me to get them down?" Mackenzie grabbed her wand from her pocket drifted the converse into Luna's hands.
"Thank you, I suspect Nargels," Luna muttered skipping off, Macka and Astreria eyed each other before catching up with the blonde.

"Come on Harry we'll miss the train." Moon grasped Harry's hand dragging him towards the carts that were pulled by nothing. Rona and Hermione were already at the station. They stacked their suitcases together and took a seat.
"Do you think-" Harry started.
"All the time. I'm a good thinker, you know."
"That's not what I mean. Do you think-"
"Yep"
"Will you quit that. I'm trying to ask you something."
"Ask away."
"Thank you."
"You welcome."
"Urg! Now I've forgotten what I was going to say." Harry playfully punched Mackenzie shoulder, trying to act mad at her.
"Alright, alright. I sorry, go." Moon gestured for him to talk.
"Do you think that..maybe...you know since I blew up my aunt that maybe...I could um...stay with you for half of the holidays, of course, you can say n-"
"I was going to make you stay whether you want to or not, I not dealing with Remmy's wolf-moon swings by myself." Moon voiced, leaving the carriage to get onto the train. "Meet me and Remmy at the station." She jumped onto the train, strutting down the corridors until she came across one with Neville. Opening the door she took a seat opposite him. Glancing up from his plant book, his face turned red when he court sight of her. "What are you reading?" Mackenzie question looking over the top of his book.
"It's about non-magical flowers, found it in the library." He explained excitedly.
"What's your favourite flower?" Moon inquired.
"I'll have to say sunflowers, they symbolized happiness and optimism. It also represents longevity, love and loyalty." Neville sensed so passionately about the subject, which made Moon smiled.
