Hello, everyone! Here's another Draco/Luna fanfiction. I had a lot of fun writing it, and I hope you have fun reading it! =)

(Sorry, this chapter is a bit short... it's more of a prologue to the story)

Chapter 1

Setting: Malfoy Manor, before the Battle of Hogwarts, winter, 1998

Draco sat in his usual armchair in his spacious, yet gloomy living room in Malfoy Manor. He had been staring at the dark, empty fireplace, brows furrowed, and hands clutching the arms of the chair for about an hour.

He knew why the Dark Lord chose him—his father's mistake. Draco had to pay for it by being commanded to murder an innocent man. He also need to prove himself as a competent member of the Malfoy family.

Draco turned his head slightly at the noise of voices coming from the entryway. Curious, he stood up and walked over and noticed his aunt Bellatrix, the werewolf Death Eater Fenrir Greyback, and two other Death Eaters. Greyback carried a girl with long blonde hair tied together with a piece of fabric. His lips pressed together when he noticed that the girl was his classmate Luna Lovegood, a friend of Harry Potter's.

Why Luna Lovegood? Draco momentarily thought as he pushed his brows together, thinking what they could want with that loony girl, but dismissed as he went back to sit in his chair. He learned to just let the other Death Eaters be as they went about their business. In his house. The thought made his blood boil.
