Draco and Luna
Chapter 1
Draco = 8th year
Luna = 7th year
I would like some constructive criticism to make it better. I don't own the characters or the places. It all belongs to J.. I do not make a profit from this. Enjoy
It was after the Great War, Draco was returning to Hogwarts to finish his education. Not at his insistence, however. His mother had deemed it necessary for him to get a high ranking job in the Ministry, if they would take him after what had happened at Hogwarts.
Draco sat alone in his carriage; many of his friends had decided to not return or had died. As he sat staring at nothing in particular, the door slid open revealing a slim young girl with long blond hair and, for some strange reason, orange radish earrings and a butterbeer cork necklace.
"Is anyone sitting here?"
"Yea, me" Draco drawled sarcastically. She looked familiar, he thought. The random girl sat down opposite Draco, a dreamy, vacant look on her face.
"I'm Luna, Luna Lovegood." She said.
"Err…. Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."
No wonder she looked familiar, he thought, it's Loony Luna, that Ravenclaw chick. Isn't her father the editor of The Quibbler or some rubbish?
As if to answer his unuttered question she pulled out a copy of the magazine and began to read.
"Oooh, horoscopes," She muttered." What's your star sign?"
How can this girl be so odd and not realise that she is talking to a complete stranger, he thought.
"Scorpio." Draco answered, too nervous to realise that he had answered automatically.
"Hmmm… interesting; Scorpio: You're imagining things to be far worse than they really are this week. Even small things are being blown out of proportion. Don't worry what other people think. Do what you need to do. There are rumours flying around the workplace, school or social circle, but the truth is nothing like the gossip."
Draco sighed. This was going to be a long year.
