LUNA'S SIDE

Chapter 1

Everybody has their side to a story, in Hogwarts; everybody has a story, to tell, to share. Either way, it's a story, which is thrilling in its own way. This is my story, I'm Luna Lovegood, and you can call me Looney. Just kidding, don't.

I was in my fourth year at Hogwarts, in the Ravenclaw house, with Cho Chang, Marietta Edgecome and Padma Patil, all goes well there, I often wonder sometimes, why I was put in Ravenclaw I'm not nearly as smart as Hermione Granger, who's my friend too, by the way. And of course, every school has its drawbacks, and seeing Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini and Astoria Greengrass all the time, counts as a drawback for me. I never liked to speak up, about how much I despise them, with their filthy, tainted souls.

I could tell you my whole life story, about how my mother died, in a fatal experiment of her own, and how I live with my father, or how I'm constantly being mocked, but it's too much, so I'll break it down...

Ah, early February. It was around that time, when Hogwarts felt like just another soap opera, and it all started with the complicated feelings between Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy. They were the 'Slytherin couple', disgusting people, just horrible, with their 'pureblood extremism' and Parkinson fawning over every breath Malfoy took. It was pathetic. Soon after those few days, I had found out they became romantically involved. Ew.

"I'm with Draco, he's so sweet, and he asked me out in the common rooms" this is all I heard from their conversation, I heard enough, it was all I needed to know. But I couldn't help feeling...agitated by this news.

Potions weren't the only things brewing and bubbling in that class as I saw Astoria and Pansy argue, I listened.

"With Malfoy are you?" Astoria said.

"What's it to you? Just because you can't get a boyfriend, doesn't mean I need your whining arse nagging about my love life" Pansy responded, I could see the rage in Astoria's face, this wasn't going to turn out well...or was it?

"Oh stuff it, Pugnose Parkinson. As a matter of fact, I DO have a boyfriend. BLAISE."

"With Blaise? And you're complaining about MY relationship? I see you were desperate"

"What is your problem? Why don't you go suck faces with Malfoy then?" Astoria looked enraged, she had her wand in her hand, ready to fire, I, wasn't saying no to a gory duel between the two, but something told me Snape was.

"Ms. Greengrass, Ms. Parkinson, I highly doubt that neither of you are brewing potions" Snape said, with a stern look.

"Professor—uh, we were, discussing how much newt eyes to add." Pansy stammered.

"Well then perhaps, it would interest you to know that the very answer you are looking for seems to be found in your books." Snape gave a cold look; I knew what was coming next. "Detention, for both of you." He walked away with a certain smug look on his face.

"This is your fault, you bitch." Pansy hissed at Astoria.

"I'll tear you limb from limb in the common rooms, you conceited twat."

Of course I sat there, highly amused, this was quite fun, but it ended as they turned to me.

"What are you looking at, Looney? Your life got too boring, that you had to listen in on other people's conversations?" Astoria said.

"No" I responded "Just thought I'd experience two admitted skanks fighting. Quite interesting actually, both of you are as bad as each other."

"Go find some creature, you pathetic excuse for a witch." Pansy snapped.

"Gladly, and maybe I'll find a Hippogriff, to rip your pretty boy apart, like last time, oh how close he was…"

Quite unlike me, it was, to answer like that, I don't know what came over me, I didn't really mean that, about ripping Draco apart, he'd probably poison the poor creature. Pansy and Astoria had enough of me, by the way they turned around walking separate ways, as the bell had just rung and classes were over for today. As I packed my stuff and walked down the corridors of Hogwarts, just taking in the beauty of the halls and the moving portraits of course, Draco was walking towards me, hurried and anxious. I didn't see him, he bumped into my shoulder, which hurt quite a bit, I stopped walking and turned to yell at him, he muttered in a mocking tone " Watch where you're going Looney." And rushed off to where ever he was going. That idiot. He smelt nice though….very nice. Wait, what?
