This is my entry to the 50 Art of Words Challenge by Megsy42, on friendsqueen216's forum Writing Challenges.

BTW these'll probably be quite short chapters. All words in BOLD are one of the 50 words.

Draco sat alone just inside the first fringe of the forbidden forest, it was cold and starting to rain. He got up and turned to leave.
"And I saw a wizard astride a thestral"
He stopped when he heard a voice singing Who else is mad enough to be out here in this weather? He peeked round the tree he had been leaning against.
"His heart was strong and true"
It was Luna Lovegood Great He thought, sarcasticly That Spaz would be out hear when I'm trying to get some peace He continued to watch her dance and skip around the clearing, feeding the thestral herd.
"Hope reigned forever from the day I met a wizard astride a thestral" She finished her song and bowed to the herd.
Draco turned to leave again and found his path blocked by a large thestral "Ahh!" He fell into the dirt, and glared at the creture "Shoo. Get away." The thestral's eyes glittered mischeviously, and suddenly Draco found himself clutching it's mane as it charged full pelt into the clearing "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Oof!" He found himself deposited at Luna's feet.
"Oh. Hello Draco" She smiled serenely "I wondered if you'd come out from behind the tree" She patted the thestral, that Draco was seriously considering blasting into a million pieces, on the nose "I guess Turpin found you first" Draco stared at her, she'd named the thestrals? He couldn't stop himself asking
"Turpin?" Luna nodded,
"After Dick Turpin, he was a theif, you know a highwayman"
Draco stood up and brushed himself down "I know who Dick Turpin was, I just can't beleive you've named the thestrals, they're just dumb animals" He walked away, with his nose in the air. He landed face first in the dirt, glaring once again at Turpin "One day . . ." He muttered angrily as he returned to the castle.
