"Y/n!" A soft voice called for me, pulling me from my thoughts. Startled, I turned around and watched as coiled, flowing white hair bounced with each skip towards my direction. Luna Lovegood, the gem of innocence and positivity everyone should have in their lives. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt." She smiled softly as she fell into step with me.

"Interrupt?" I laughed. "There's nothing to interrupt, little Moon. I was walking alone back to my common room." I smile at the girl, deciding to guide us to the nearest courtyard so that we can speak for longer as my common room is not far from here.

"I was interrupting your inner thoughts, I could see them growing smaller in your eyes when I approached." Luna added as we both sat down beside the fountain. It's a wonderfully strange phenomenon that Luna always seemed to know things about yourself that you might not have noticed before. I hadn't realised how lost I was in my mind until Luna pointed it out.

My mind was drowning in thoughts about the Minister's actions. Something is not adding up... how can one man go from behaving all scatterbrained, nervous and jumpy to stoic, collected and wise by simply hitting his head? If that was possible, I would've taken a bat to Ron's head years ago!

Besides that, my friendships between the Slytherin boys and myself has slowly deteriorated. I speak now and then with Draco, Blaise and Theo. Mattheo however cannot seem to look me in the eye. Now Pansy has slithered her way back into their group, which is rather annoying.

What's further bugging my brain is how much time Astoria is spending with all of them. Draco, Blaise, Theo, Mattheo, Astoria and Pansy, the new Slytherin group that couldn't be more popular! How wonderful.

To summarise, everyone is acting strange. The Minister, the boys, especially Mattheo, and Astoria. In times like these, when you are reminded that both friends, popularity and 'fame' are not everlasting, make you far more appreciative of the friends that stayed before, during and after my moment of 'popularity'.

My head aches knowing I have another mystery to solve along with the odd books and the dark archway. I'm in desperate need of a distraction, and maybe a drink of fire whiskey, or two... or five.

"The Gryffindors are planning a Halloween party, they announced it this morning." Luna hummed, making me grin. Perfect. Turning to Luna with pure joy fired within me, I asked her for more information on the event. "Everyone is invited, however, you must dress up, or no entry." She added. "It starts at eight on Halloween night until three in the morning." Luna smiled.

I gasped when a brilliantly crafted idea sprung to mind. "Luna, I propose we dress up together!" The blonde mirrored my enthusiasm and agreed to the idea. After moments of shooting random ideas, I finally thought of the perfect costume. "I've got it! Let's dress as a sexy Angel and Devil!" I giggled at the thought.

Lune beamed as she clapped her hands together, then held them in front of her as her fingers interlock. "Splendid! Very fitting indeed." Luna winked as we continued to laugh over the idea. "But why must we dress sexy, Y/n?" Luna asked once her laughter died down.

"Because, my little moon, dressing up all sexy and cute on Halloween is true feminism!" The blond rolled her eyes at my dramatics, we soon waved our goodbyes, arranging to plan and potentially buy our Halloween costumes tomorrow.
