Chapter one:
School Daze
It was year three for Luna Lovegood and four for her friends in Gryffindor, the only friends that didn't seem to consider her looney besides Hermione. Apparently there was going to be an announcement about a tournament that was happening at Hogwarts. Luna had kept to herself mostly throughout the school year, keeping herself busy with school work and of course reading her father's infamous Quibbler. She had became friends with the famous Harry Potter and his friends Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom and the gang although she was a year younger than them. Though of course, she had noticed Neville becoming quite fond of her weirdness compared to the others, Luna didn't care much. She saw him as a friend. On the other hand, Luna did have her bright blue eyes set on one particular boy in school though no one would ever guess. She liked keeping that to herself, didn't want to make a scene over it or become a giddy girl like Lavender Brown or Romilda Vane. As the Ravenclaw sat with her friends at the Gryffindor table for breakfast, she noticed one boy in particular barge right into the Great Hall, arrogantly showing off as he normally did before heading to the Slytherin table. Every time the blond Slytherin entered the room, Luna would notice.
"What are you looking at?" Neville asked, sitting beside Luna. He was curious as to she was the only one who wasn't eating. "Nothing, Neville. Nothing wrong with greeting the day with looking at all the wrackspurts..." she trailed off. She looked at Harry as he was looking over at Cho Chang from where he was sitting. "Harry's head is full of them. So is Ron's." she added, fixing her pink odd glasses that were specially made for wrackspurts. Harry's focus turned to Luna and Ron frowned. "Why do you wear those glasses, Luna?" Harry asked, attempting not to laugh. Ron shook his head as he kept eating. "To see wreckspurts. It's to see if the mind is quite healthy, i say." she explained in her sweet, soft voice. It was a good way to divert the attention she was giving to none other than Draco Malfoy.
Draco was at the Slytherin table behind them, listening to Luna's crazy speech about wreckspurts while Crabbe and Goyle started laughing at it. Draco played it off, thinking of a rather smart remark to say. "Oh look, Longbottom has gotten himself a girlfriend. One, uh wearing sunglasses, so she wouldn't have to see his face in daylight." he cracked, having the three of them start laughing. Harry and Ron looked back at Draco with a scolding look. "Shove off, Malfoy." Ron hissed. Of course, it was a way for Draco to make his presence known, not only to his rivals but also to Luna Lovegood. He had a hard time being able to bully her as she brushed him off in her own unique way, most that would say she's in her own little world. Neville sat there with a frown on his face from Draco's taunting. "Forget him, Neville. He just needs to boost his ego." Luna stated honestly. Unfortunately Draco heard that, causing him to glare and caused Harry and Ron to crack a laugh. Draco honestly was stumped on insults towards Luna, this in itself was a challenge.
Once breakfast was finished, it was time for classes though it was the last day until the weekend. Luna walked into her charms class as her friends went to their classes, having it be odd that she was only in her third year as Harry and the rest were in their fourth, but she did have classes with Ginny. After classes had took a brief pause for lunch then resumed until dinner. Luna found herself walking into the Great Hall before getting her arm bumped into by Draco as he went by. "Watch it, Lovegood." he laughed before heading back over to the Slytherin table. Everyone was chattering about the rumor of there being a Triwizard tournament and Yule ball which hasn't happened in centuries though Luna, being a third year wouldn't be able to go unless otherwise invited. Sitting down, she decided to sit at the Ravenclaw table after seeing professor Dumbledore take the podium. "This year Hogwarts will play host to a legendary event: the Triwizard Tournament. During which time a single student gets to represent his or her school in a series of magical contests. Eternal glory awaits the student who wins the tournament." Dumbledore explained before the doors flew open to the Durmstrang Institute from Bulgaria, as they did their presentation along with the girls from Beauxbatons academy from France which of course got the attention of most men, particularly Ron.
After the introduction of the visiting students, Luna was cheerful of having new students visiting Hogwarts. As everyone was allowed to mingle now, Luna got up to head over to the Gryffindor table and listened on the chatter. Of course sitting at the Gryffindor table was to be able to talk with her friends but she had also gotten a good view at a particular Slytherin. Once dinner was over, Luna was walking by herself to the Ravenclaw tower when she spotted three boys come around the corner from behind her - Crabbe, Goyle and Draco who left the Great Hall too. As they approached closer, Luna was then bumped into on both sides from Crabbe and Goyle, causing her books to fall onto the floor. "Well, well, well. Isn't it Looney Lovegood?" Draco taunted. Luna furrowed her eyebrows. "I much prefer Luna but if thats what fits you, then okay." she replied in a innocent tone, gripping her cork necklace. Draco looked at both Crabbe and Goyle slightly confused before he shoved them both to leave.
Once Crabbe and Goyle left, Draco looked at the third year Blond Ravenclaw as she picked up her books, noticing how different she was before deciding to leave. Draco didn't want to admit it but he was finding himself rather fond of the Lovegood girl, the fact that she was a pureblood had also intrigued him but at least she wasn't like the Weasleys. Luna left for the Ravenclaw tower once she had her books in her arms and often thought about Draco, but knew he would never change. She was better off studying Nargles and proving they do take her shoes than having Draco change his ways.
