|| I Must Not Tell Lies ||

The golden trio and Lorelie had just arrived at Hogwarts, fifth year. The year everything's going to go downhill, Lorelie intended to make the best of it.

Harry and Lorelie walked hand in hand, while Ron and Hermione walked beside Harry focused on their own conversation. Neville following behind them with a plant in his hand.

"Victoria!" Lorelie yelled as she let's go from Harry's hand and runs towards her bestfriend.

Victoria turns her head to see Lorelie, she opened her arms wide enough for them to hug. Leaving Harry completely speechless, and Ron who couldn't contain his laughter.

"Bloody hell, Harry. After all these times, she still chooses her bestfriend over you" Ron joked.

"Shut up, Ron" Harry rolled his eyes and punched Ron playfully.

"I missed you so much" Victoria smiled.

"I missed you too, where's Luna?"

"Hello everyone" a soft voice said, it was Luna.

She was already sitting in the carriage, reading a quibbler upside down. All of them approached the carriage and sat one by one.

"Come on, Harry" Lorelie said as she grabs her boyfriends hand.

Harry didn't move, he was looking at the front of the carriage. He thought he saw some sort of black horse shadow, but none of them could see it.

"I thought I just saw a horse, pulling the carriage" Harry said.

"No one is pulling the carriage, Harry. It's pulling itself, like usual" Hermione assured him.

"You're not going mad, I can see them too. You're just as sane as I am" Luna said as she looks up from her quibbler.

"Is she sane though?" Ron joked causing Hermione to smack him in the head.

"That's not funny, Ronald" Hermione rolled her eyes.

"But Luna, thestrals can only be seen by those who have seen death" Victoria said.

"Th-thestrals? What are thestrals?" Neville asked.

"N-never mind, maybe I was just seeing things" Harry sighed and sat down beside Lorelie.

Silence fell over them, as the carriage started to pull itself. Harry grabbed Lorelie's arm and holds it, while she rests her head on Harry's shoulder.

"Interesting necklaces" Hermione pointing to both Luna and Victoria's neck said breaking the silence.

"It's a charm actually" Victoria answered as she showed her the necklace.

"It keeps away the nargles" Luna added softly making Neville confused.

"N-nargles?" Neville gulped nervously.

The carriage continued to pull itself, making it's way closer and closer to the castle. Another carriage went past them, there was a white haired boy sitting on the carriage. None other than Draco Malfoy.
