Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the boys presented Luna, everyone else who was in the classroom also started handing out their presents, and with each present I could feel Luna getting more excited and happy.
So presents were sweets or things bought last minute in Hogsad, and so presents were books, which made wonder if everyone thought Ravenclaws really loved receiving books as presents.
After a while, almost everyone had already given Luna a present, and the only person who still hadn't given her a present was . But I had left my present for last because it was a little special.
"Here's Luna, I couldn't think of a good enough present, but I think you'll really like this one," I said, handing her a present that anyone could tell was a book just from the shape of the wrapper.
Luna then took the present and tore the wrapping, seeing that it really was a book, just not a simple book.
As soon as Granger saw the cover of the book, her eyes lit up as she sat up straight in her chair, gaping at the book as she fidgeted excitedly.
"This is a limited edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!" She exclaid, drawing the others' attention, "They say Newt Scamander only wrote 10 copies and no one knows who owns it" and she, like the good human Wikipedia that she was, began her barrage of information before I could even say anything.
"This is a complete edition, containing information about all the creatures that Mr. Scamander has already found and studied it, and when I say all, I really an ALL... This book even has an entire chapter dedicated to mystical and rare creatures, almost all of which are class XXXXX" she said in a single breath.
As Granger took a deep breath to catch her breath, she realized the room was silent, and looking around she realized that everyone was looking at her.
"What the hell is she doing in Gryffindor?" Michael asked aloud.
"Raven in lion clothes" Anthony muttered, with the rest nodding in agreent, causing Granger to duck her head to hide her blush of embarrassnt.
Luna, who still hadn't taken her eyes off the book, opened it to the first page, only to be surprised at what she found.
"Ethan, is that what I think it is?" she asked, barely containing her excitent.
"Newt Scamander's signature? Yes, it is," I said, and this ti even those who don't care for books turned to look at in shock.
"What!?" Granger almost scread, resisting the urge to run over to Luna to look at the signature.
But my friends didn't have the sa self-control, and quickly approached Luna to look over her shoulder at the book.
"Is that really his signature?" Stephen asked, reaching out to touch the book, only for Lisa to slap his hand.
"Don't touch it, you could ruin the book" she said.
"What do you an by that?!" Stephen asked offended, looking at Lisa with a frown.
Ignoring my friends, I turned to Luna, who was running her hands over the pages of the book.
"So Luna, did you like it?" I asked.
"I love it, this is an amazing present" she said smiling, "It must have been really hard to get it"
"Nah, it was actually pretty easy," I said, waving my hand dismissively.
'Nick and Penny probably won't mind that I gave one of the books they gave to Luna… I hope' I thought, but then I shrugged.
"But it's not over Luna, there's still another present from " I said, and Luna turned to confused.
Seeing that she was paying attention to , I braced myself for the next gift.
"Now Dobby" I said, as I had already felt the little elf Apparate to my side while he was invisible.
After I said that, all the crystal globes that were floating around the room went out, leaving the room dark.
Right after that, so lights started to appear suddenly as they flew around the room, and when they looked closely, they could tell that these lights were actually fairies.
And to accompany the fairies, so dry leaves began to float as well, while glowing an orange glow.
The fairies then began to dance on top of the leaves, jumping from leaf to leaf in sync.
A soft music also began to be sung by the fairies, accompanied by an enchanted violin that I asked Dobby to bring from the Room of Hidden Things.
With this performance going on, I looked at Luna and my friends and saw them looking in wonder and concentration at the show.
Luna, seeming to have noticed my gaze, turned to , and I could see that there were so tears in her eyes.
"Thank you" she whispered to with a happy smile on her face. She then looked around at our friends, "Thank you all of you" she said out loud.
Those who listened to her turned to her, and upon seeing the giant smile she had, everyone smiled softly at her, even Michael.
'It was totally worth it' I thought, smiling softly and enjoying the show.

-Abandoned Classroom – After Luna's Party-
"Why do we have to clean the room and collect these leaves? The elves couldn't do that for us" Terry grumbled, tossing another batch of leaves in the trash.
"Shut up and keep cleaning" Anthony said, being the one holding the garbage bag, "At least now we can use magic"
"You know, I was wondering... Will I get a gift as nice as this on my birthday?" Michael wondered aloud as he cleaned and tidied the room, looking at the leaves on the floor.
"Huh?" Stephen, who was on Michael's side, looked at him curiously, "And when is your birthday?"
"Urgh!" and Michael pald his forehead.
"Oh, don't be sad Michael... Maybe tomorrow on Valentine's Day you'll get so nice gift from so girl" Morag said with a giggle, causing Michael to look at her blankly.
'I should have gone to Hufflepuff' Michael thought, staring into space in reflection.
And I, who was listening to them, froze when I realized sothing.
'Damn it! I forgot that tomorrow is Valentine's Day' I thought, grimacing, 'I just hope that after falling for so many pranks Lockhart doesn't have ti to organize Valentine's Day here at Hogwarts'
...
...
...
'I just raised a flag, didn't I?' I thought with a sigh.

-With the golden trio-
[POV - Third Person]
The trio had just left Luna's party, and were walking the corridors talking as they headed to the Gryffindor common room to finish a Potions essay that Professor Snape had passed.
But to be more precise, Harry and Ron were going to finish rehearsal, and Hermione was going to accompany them to make sure they didn't get idle or do sothing wrong, which is very likely.
But having Hermione help them with their howork was a good thing for both boys, as she always let them copy bits and pieces of her howork.
"You know, I'm the only one who noticed that Ethan said 'Now Dobby'?" Ron, who was a little thoughtful, asked.
"Yes, I noticed that too" Hermione said. She then turned to Harry, "Wasn't Dobby the na of the elf who got you in trouble with your family and the ministry?" she asked.
"And wasn't he the one who closed the platform barrier and tried to kill you with the bludger?" Ron asked too.
"Yes" Harry replied uncertainly.
Ron and Hermione then looked at each other.
"So does this an that..."
"That Dobby is Night's house-elf?" Hermione finished for Ron.
"Well, I guess so... I an, no... It's confusing" Harry said.
"What do you an 'It's confusing'? We just found out that the one who sent Dobby to tornt you was Night," Hermione said, a little pleased and happy... Too happy.
"Err... I don't think Ethan would do that" Ron said.
"Oh, really? And why not?" Hermione asked defiantly, both hands on her hips.
"Well... Because if he wanted to tornt Harry, or make him suffer, he would do it with his bare hands... And in front of everyone in the Great Hall..." Ron replied, rubbing his arms fearfully.
...
...
...
...
...
"Yes... I think that's true" Hermione agreed grudgingly. She then shook her head, "But that still doesn't explain why his elf tried to hurt Harry."
"Well... At that ti Dobby probably wasn't his elf yet, I guess" Harry said.
""Huh?"" Ron and Hermione turned to Harry in confusion.
Harry, seeing the two of them looking at him, decided to tell and explain about the eting and talk he had with Dobby and Ethan in the hospital wing after the first Gryffindor match this school year.
-----------------------------
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Hmm, so I guess sohow Ethan managed to 'steal' the Dobby from his old masters, whoever they were, right?" Ron asked, a little confused.
"I think so," Harry replied, as unsure of his answer as Ron was.
"Oh" Ron disse.
"But if Dobby couldn't even talk about his masters to Harry, how did Night manage to get him to work for him?" Hermione asked confused, but then she realized sothing, "Wait... Doesn't that also an Night is now the one who's enslaving Dobby?!" she exclaid.
"Look Hermione, it's not like that" Ron tried to explain, but Hermione wasn't paying him any attention.
"Hmph! I always knew that underneath all that good looks, intelligence and that friendly personality he was hiding soone evil and cruel" she said crossing her arms, looking at the boys victoriously, not realizing that in one sentence she called Ethan handso and intelligent.
"I agree he's evil and cruel, but I think you're looking at things the wrong way." Harry tried to say, but Hermione was already convinced that Ethan was just as bad as Malfoy.
"Forget it mate, she probably won't listen to us" Ron said, putting his hand on Harry's shoulder, "Maybe she just needs to think a little or maybe spend so ti with Ethan so she'll see he's not that bad. "
"She? Spend so ti with Ethan?" Harry huffed, "I don't even want to imagine what would happen if those two were locked in the sa room," he said.
" neither, my friend... neither" Ron said.
End.

(End AN: Having a hot chocolate or tea this winter is the best thing in the world.
Nothing better than a hot drink to warm us up in this cold, accompanied by a good book and so soft music.
Okay, I think I'm enjoying this cold weather a little too much...)
