Where we left off: We found out Hermione has escaped. Also Luna is a Seer and can tell the future. She has visions that Voldemort is training muggles, like Robert and Henry, to do jobs for him. Ron, Harry, Ginny, Draco and Neville don't know Luna is a Seer yet, but Dumbledore gives her permission to tell them in the morning.

"I'm hungry." Ron said staring at some empty plates being cleaned, "Can we get that elf to get us some food before she arrives?"
"After, Ron." Ginny said, though the question had been rhetorical. "Just wait."

"Thats exactly what I've been doing for the past 45 minutes," Ron muttered miserably.

"She'll come soon," said Harry yawning.

"That's it!" Ron said a few moments later, getting to his feet.

"Don't disturb the house elves Ron, look how busy they are," Neville said.

"Of all places why did Dumbledore have us meet Luna in here?" Ron whined.

"Maybe he didn't know that you get hungry watching house elves clean our dishes," Draco suggested sarcastically.

"Why did Dumbledore have us meet here anyways?" Neville asked.

Ginny sighed, "As I was walking back to my room Dumbledore stopped me and told me to go into the kitchen by the Great Hall. He told me the password and left. He just said that Luna needed to talk with us and to gather you up."

"But he didn't mention anything about when she would come did he?" Ron said. Ginny shock her head.

"Great," Ron groaned sarcastically.

"Why do they make them do all this work anyways?" Draco wondered.

"I don't know Draco… who else do you suggest does all this work?" Ron said.

"Wizards could do it faster," Draco replied simply.

"Oh I see, we can get all the Wizards unworthy of learning, like the Muggle-borns, to clean up after the worthy Slytherins? Sound fair to you and your fellow death-eater pals?" Ron said.

Draco opened his mouth about to speak when Luna entered the kitchen.

"I am a seer. I have visions," Luna replied quickly.

"Well, she is to the point," Draco said quietly, the usual smirk present on his face.

"Weren't you and Hermione together?" Luna replied randomly.

Draco hesitated and then replied loud and clear, staring into Ron's eyes the whole time, "We are still… why?"

"I would just naturally expect you to have a better attitude towards people who are trying to help you find your girlfriend, that's all." Luna paused for a moment study Draco's face and then continued, her voice softer than usual, "Draco, before I explain my visions I would like to have  a word with you."

Draco shrugged. "Alone."

Draco got up and followed Luna; she was leading him into a private room in the kitchen. After Draco entered the room Luna shut the door behind him.

"Are you going to turn all Professor Trelawney on me now? Tell me your visions? Predict the future?" Draco asked annoyed.

"No."

"Then why am I here?"

"I just wanted to let you know that you don't need to act this way anymore Draco."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"I think you know exactly what I am talking about."

Draco shook his head.

"Draco I have read it before. You feel that you must act cruelly towards Hermione's friends because Ron still acts that way to you. You don't want to start up with them but you want them to know that you aren't soft. Draco, they don't think you're soft at all. They started to see a different side of you before. Hermione is a very bright wizard. Although they tried to convince her that you hadn't changed she saw that other side of you. They saw it too Draco. They know Hermione would be with you if you hadn't changed, if you didn't have it in you to act differently. They were willing to give you a chance. They began to accept you and tried to. But, by you making rude remarks and having a negative attitude they are beginning to believe that it's all an act. That none of it was real. Show them that you being nice to Hermione and being with her was real. Show them that you want to find her just as much as they do."

"What's taking them so long?" Ginny asked impatiently. "I want to know about the vision."

"Let's go see. Draco might have Luna under a curse somewhere." Harry replied.

They went up to the door in which Luna and Draco were speaking and pressed their ears to the door.

"How did you know?" Draco was saying.

"That you had a diary?" Luna asked him.

"Yes. No one knew… but-"

"Hermione. She knew. She gave it to you, didn't she?"

They continued listening eager to find out more about this diary in which Draco Malfoy had.

"This has to do with the whole being a Seer thing, huh?"

"Sort of, it's hard to explain."

"Okay ill stop acting up if you promise me one thing?"

"And what would that be?"

"Next time you have a 'vision' about me stop it. I don't need people knowing about my personal life. About the whole diary thing… I think I want that to stay between us. And also I'd rather not have you knowing anything else about me… no offense. It's just…"

Ron, Harry, Ginny, and Neville stopped listening then and hurried back to their seats. Only a few moments after they settled down did Draco and Luna come back. Ron was cracking up over the piece of information he heard and didn't see Draco and Luna return. Harry tried to tell Ron do stop but he was oblivious to what he was trying to say.

"I'm… sorry it's just that … him… with a diary!"

"Eaves dropping, Weasley?" Draco asked him disgustedly.

Ron then snapped back to reality and realized that he just blew it.
"And I thought that would be below you." Draco said.

Luna looked at Draco and sighed. She had to change his behavior. All of theirs. They won't be able to succeed individually. They need each other.

"So Luna what exactly have you been er seeing? Harry asked.

"Oh yes. Well Henry and Robert are both part of a muggle army in which Voldemort has created."

"Are you sure? Voldemort using muggles?" Harry asked disbelievingly.

"Yes. I am sure. That explains why he was using muggles instead of wizards; he has an army of them. He has some death eaters too but most people don't expect a muggle to attack, you know?"

"How many muggles did you er see?" Ron asked.

"50 or so."

"How does this help us find Hermione though?" Draco asked.

"It doesn't exactly. But we know that Voldemort is defiantly looking for her. It's obvious since two members of his army already were with her."

"Any other useful information you have?" Neville asked.

"Yes, I need to warn you. If you don't work together you won't find her."

After a long moment of silence Ron spoke up. "Look I'm sorry Draco. I… well… I know that you aren't like your father."

"Yes, and I know that you were just being over-protective over Hermione because she is your friend."

Luna's eyes were sparkling with delight as she saw one quick thing: The beginning of a strong relationship.

*****

Chapter Summary: In this chapter Luna meets with everyone to tell them about her vision. She does this and also bring up an important point: They need to get along to succeed and can't succeed alone. Oh and also Draco keeps a diary.
