            Everyone was sitting in the think room waiting on Harry and Draco. It wasn't like the two of them to be late. Lucius was worried that something had happened to them since yesterday.

            "Has anyone heard from either of them?" Narcissa asked biting her lip. She was panicking a little as more time went by and they were a no show. Everyone shook their head in reply.  

            "They mentioned going to see Luna yesterday." Remus pointed out. That was the last time that any of them had had any contact with them. His werewolf instincts were kicking in, he wanted to make sure his pack was safe and sound. Remus was itching to hold his son but he had asked Andromeda to watch Teddy for today. This was not an environment that his son should be around.

            Fred and George shared a look. "I wonder how that went." They said at the same time. They really didn't know Luna that well but she seemed like a nice girl. Back in their fifth year they had been doing a prank on the teacher's lounge and Luna had walked out of it and told them that filch was going to arrive in exactly one minute. They had hightailed it right out of there. It wasn't until they were safe in Gryffindor tower that they wondered why she was in the teacher's lounge to begin with.   

            "Probably really weirdly." Pansy said honestly. She wasn't being negative it was just that any instance she had ever come across Lovegood had been a weird one. Blaise nodded in agreement. He could still remember in his third year that Lovegood warned him to study an obscure reference for History of Magic. It wouldn't have been weird if she had said it in passing but he was on the toilet... in the men's restroom. He had been so startled by a girl's voice that he had readily agreed just to shut her up. Luckily the whole thing had been so weird that he figured it wouldn't hurt to listen to her. Turned out that was exactly what his next test had been about.

            "She wasn't there." They looked up in relief to see Harry and Draco.

            Lucius narrowed his eyes at the vibe they were giving off. Something was wrong. He could tell by their faces, not to mention they were standing at least a foot a part from each other. This was surprising considering that they were always touching one another. Almost to the point of being indecent. He looked around the room and saw that he wasn't the only one who had taken notice. It looked like the entire group had realized that something was wrong.

            Harry sat down in the nearest chair and pretended that he couldn't see the worried looks that everyone was giving them. His day had been a long one and it wasn't even almost over with yet. Draco had tried talking to him but Harry wasn't feeling it yet. His heart still hurt that Draco couldn't trust him. The tension between them had mounted so strongly that even Sirius had fled his painting by noon.

            When Draco sat down in a chair next to Harry, everyone definitely knew that something was wrong. They always sat in the same chair unless work was needing to be done.

            "Is everything okay?" Remus asked tentatively. He shared a concerned look with Severus but the man was just as confused as he was.

            Harry looked up and smiled as best as he could and hoped it was convincing. "Oh yes. Everything is fine. Just dandy."

            The quartet lifted their brows. Dandy? Who said that anymore? Pansy took one look at Draco's miserable face and she frowned. Something had happened between the two of them. She didn't like it at all. Harry and Draco weren't supposed to fight. That wasn't allowed. It just wasn't.

            "I call bull." Blaise said with narrowed eyes. "We know you both and it is obvious that something is wrong." Blaise was not liking that they were pretending that everything was fine. At least own up to something being wrong.
