Hermione started when Harry spoke to her. She was honestly lost in thought and they weren't very pleasant at that moment. But she covered herself well enough and smiled a little at Harry. "Of course. It's almost always good these days. But there was an article about Hogwarts in there and all of our names were mentioned, which now that I actually give it some thought, I don't think I appreciate. Now the whole wizarding world knows that we're seventh years that should have graduated already. Anyway, there was an article about Ron's father too, which we knew would run. And then there was a death. Strange though, that an Apparation instructor would die like that. Also there was..."
Luna pops her head and Hermione stops mid-sentence. Then she pops right back out again. She frowns but shrugs. She had been getting used to her doing things like that. She looked at Harry again and holds out the paper. "You could read it yourself, you know."
Pansy turned when the bouncing girl came and talked to her. Her eyes narrowed just a little bit. She had teased this girl--Luna or something like that--often. So why was she talking to her? She frowned and thought about the offer. "Um...but I...well, I was never good to you, Looney, oh, Luna. Sorry. You really are asking me to come with you though? Nobody else wants me around..." Then she smiled because she finally saw the cute little look on Miss Lovegood's face. "Oh, I don't see why not. But if your friends don't want me around, don't be surprised." She was trying to be nice and wasn't sure if she was succeeding. "After you."
