Chloé POV______________

I know the highly energetic day would come any time. It always does when I'm sad for too long. It's like my mind clicks and all of sudden, I feel so much energy inside myself that I have to do something to shake it off a bit.

I was so closed in myself lately that I totally forgot about George and Luna. He's counting on me and I truly want to help him, so I decided to do so.

I got up the bed and started to walk around the room, it helps me to think. I stopped at the big window next to my bed and looked outside. It's beautiful and sunny outside today, which is very rare here at Hogwarts.

Suddenly, I had an idea. I quickly put on my beige blazer and boots, let my hair down from a bun and rushed out of my room to find George.

It is such a good plan, I had to tell him straight away. I rushed through sun illuminated corridors to the dining hall, hoping George would be there.

The hall was almost empty, but thank god George was there with Ron, energetically talking about something.

"George!" I screamed and everyone glanced at me.

"Chloé?"

"I have it! I have the best plan! So, listen...Hey, Ron." I totally forgot to say hello.

"I'm all ears." He giggled.

"So...I'm gonna take Luna for a walk because it's sunny outside and then we will randomly meet you -"

"I don't just randomly go on a walk..." he mumbled while listening to me.

"Listen to me, Weasley! We will meet you and I'll suddenly remember I have to do something urgently, so I leave you two."

I finished talking and smiled at them.

"And then what?"

"What do you mean what? You're gonna talk to her! Get to know her! Take her somewhere! We love that." I winked.

"That is kinda genius, I have to say." Assumed Ron.

"Thank you, see? Ron approved." I crossed my arms and exchanged smiles with Ron.

"Okay, let's do this. When and where am I supposed to be when we meet?"

I explained everything and gave him time to get ready, while I search for Luna. But where could she be? 

"Hey, do you happen to know where Luna is?" I asked George.

"No, but I can look." He replied and took out a middle sized old looking parchment.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." He waved his hand above the map and suddenly, the whole map of Hogwarts revealed. I love magic.

"Let's see...Luna Lovegood, where could you be?...oh, there. She's right outside this hall, talking to someone."

"Thanks. Get ready."

"Baby, I'm always ready!" He shouted at me while I was leaving.

George, I mean the map, was really right. Luna was standing outside the door by the window and talking to some girl I couldn't identify. She's not carrying any crystals this time.

"Luna! Hi!" I greeted her with a happy voice and waved my hand.

She smiled and came closer to me. I gave her a big hug, kinda forgetting that we only met once.

"Hi! Wow, I love your energy today! It's so...energetic." She laughed, her blue eyes sparkled.

"Thank you! What are you up to?"

"Oh, nothing much. But I have a feeling you're about to tell me..."

"Right, I was just going to take a walk outside and then I saw you and I thought I'd invite you. You know, to get to know you...if you don't mind spending time with a Slytherin." I winked.

"Not at all, I think it's lame to judge people by their house. I'll gladly go." Her voice is so soothing and calm.

"Me too!"

We went out of the school through a big garden, not really heading to anywhere specific. We just wandered around the castle.

I love the weather today - sunny and cold. All the leaves from trees have fallen down, everything looks like it's dying, only to be reborn again.

"So that's what I love about rose quartz. It's so romantic." She stated.

"I know! I have a rose quartz bracelet, here."

I pulled out a sleeve and showed her the bracelet. It consists of dozens of small rose quartz crystals.

"That's beautiful! Did you make it?"

"Thank you! No, my...sister gave it to me. She believed one day it will attract my soulmate." I mumbled while staring at the bracelet.

"It's a very powerful bracelet, Chloé. One of a kind." said Fleur and gave me a big smile.

"Thank you...I don't know what to say."

"Let's just say, that it attracts your soulmate, your lover."

"I don't have a lover! I'm 15!" I giggled.

"But one day you will have." She winked at me and stroke my hair.

"So it works, right?"

"What do you mean?" I looked at her.

"Oh, don't play dumb. You think nobody noticed you and Draco?"

"Oh, um..."

"Don't be ashamed! I believe he's a kind soul somewhere deep. I'm happy you found someone in such a short time."

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter...we're not talking to each other anymore."

And there it was again. The click.

We walked in silence for a moment, until we heard someone's footsteps. It was George.

"Hi, George!" I waved at him and smiled.

"Hi!" He came closer and smiled at both of us.

"This is Luna, but I'm sure you know each other."

I was pleasantly shocked by the choice of his outfit. He looked very handsome, I must say.

"Hi, Luna." His cheeks blushed with reddish color, it was so cute.

They immediately started talking, which left me speechless and left out a bit.

"Guys, I'm so sorry but I have to go now. I remembered Snape wanted to discuss something. Will you be mad if I leave you two?"

"No, It's okay. I'll see you later, Chloé." Said Luna and smiled.

"Bye." George winked at me and I winked back, pointing big like fingers after Luna turned away from me.

And I was alone again, not knowing what to do. I was cold, the coat didn't make me very warm. So I decided to head to my room.

It was getting dark anyway.

As I was waking past the school greenhouse where Herbology class is being taught, someone bumped into me.

I let out a little scream, and then looked to see who I bumped into.

"Hi, Chloé." Said Draco with a breathy voice.

The smell of his perfume immediately hit my nose. I stepped back from him.

"We have to stop meeting like this." He added and made a little smile on his face.

"No, we just have to stop meeting at all." I said with gravelly voice, showing no emotion, and continued walking away.

"Please, listen to me." Shouted Draco.

"I have nothing to say to you."

His face looks hurt.

"Chloé..." he came closer to me again. His hand gently stroke my cheek and then the back of my neck. My eyes closed, I sighed. I can't do this.

"I can't do this anymore, not when I spend the whole week crying over you." I said, avoiding eye contact with him. I couldn't see his hurt face.

Then I walked away, with my eyes full of tears.It was stupid and weak of me to admit I've been crying because of him, I knew right away I shouldn't have said that. It just slipped out of my mouth.
