Hi guys, I'm so sorry I haven't updated anything recently. I promise to start updating more often. Anyway, this is my new story, I hope you enjoy it haha.
"Luna, if you don't hurry up you're going to miss the train."
Luna snapped back into reality from her daydreams, she found herself zoning out a lot recently, she was hardly ever fully in the real world.
It wasn't a bad thing though, she enjoyed the moments she spent in her own little world, because in her own little world she could make everything how she wanted it. The uncertainty of the real world scared her and worried her so much, she created her own and pretended the real one didn't exist.
Of course it did exist, and every now and then she'd be pulled back into it, against her will. Like now, as Luna could read the agitation and stress in her father's voice. If she was late for the train again, she'd never hear the end of it.
"Coming father" she called down the stairs as she stuck her head out of her bedroom door.
She pulled her head back inside and stared at her trunk, smiling to herself, she was going back, back to her home. Well, the one she preferred anyway.
Everything was so different at Hogwarts, no one worried about her like they did at home, they just accepted her the way she was and ignored her daydream-y moments.
Then of course, she had her friends. Her friends were wonderful to her; Harry, Hermione, Ginny and even Ron, even though Ron seemed indifferent at times. She chuckled to herself at the thought of the redheaded boy, she didn't realise how much she had missed her friends.
"Luna, we're really running out of time now." Her father called again, once again snapping her out of her thoughts.
"I'm sorry, I'm now coming." She apologised and pulled her trunk out of her bedroom and stood at the top of the stairs, she placed her hands under the trunk and lifted it down the stairs.
"Luna" her father chuckled, as she struggled down the stairs "You could've just levitated it."
"But what would be the fun in that?" she smirked.
Her father shook his head with the same smirk plastered on his face. "You, my girl, are something different."
Luna simply smiled and took her fathers hand as he held it out for her. With a crack they were gone.
Luna found herself almost running to a carriage as her and her father approached the train. Then she remembered herself and turned back.
She threw her arms around her father.
"Goodbye Dad" she smiled, pulling away and picking up her trunk again.
"Have fun at school" her dad chuckled as she skipped out of sight and boarded the train.
Luna walked slowly through the train when she realised she was in the Slytherin end of the train, she must've run past the other parts of the train in her excitement to get back to school.
She felt herself become nervous as she glanced around her at the people she never usually spoke to. A few people had noticed that she wasn't supposed to be here. She smiled at them and they turned away as quickly as they faced her.
Taking a deep breath, she walked through the carriage only to come face to face with the person she would've least liked to see right now, Draco Malfoy.
"If I'm not mistaken..." he spat in her direction. "You're not a Slytherin."
"You would be correct, Draco." She gulped, looking down.
Draco was about to continue when he did a double take and his face turned from anger to shock.
"What did you call me?" he whispered angrily.
"I called you Draco." Luna looked up to face him. "Because that's your name."
A silence appeared between them, during which Luna looked down again. The silence only lasted a few seconds, but it seemed like hours to Luna.
"Get out of here Loony." Draco whispered again and moved aside for her to exit the carriage.
Luna hurried past and the door closed quickly behind her. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked along the carriage to find her friends.
Eventually, she noticed a flash of red hair in a cabin and opened the door to find Ginny and a few other fifth years.
"Luna!" Ginny smiled and stood up to hug the blonde.
"Ginny" Luna smiled "I've missed you!"
"You too!" Ginny laughed, breaking the hug "What took you so long to get here?"
"I ran into Draco."
"You mean Malfoy." Ginny corrected her.
"Why does everyone insist on calling him that, he is human too you know Ginny." Luna replied.
"Barely" Ginny scoffed.
"Well he let me go without too much trouble, if he was so inhuman then he would've hexed me or something."
"I'm surpised he didn't" came the reply.
"Ginny..." Luna began, but thought better of it.
As the conversation came to it's awkward end, they sat in silence for the remainder of the journey. It wasn't an awkward silence, but a silence nonetheless.
After dinner in the Great Hall, Luna began the walk back to her common room.
"Oi, Loony." Came a gruff voice from behind her.
"Oh great." She sighed to herself and turned around.
"Yes?"
"What were you doing in our carriage earlier?" The voice came from Crabbe, of course.
"Nothing, I just got on the wrong carriage."
"Well, you seemed pretty cosy there." came a female voice from behind Crabbe, Luna recognised it as Daphne Greengrass, Draco's girlfriend.
"Are you serious, I was cornered and intimidated? What part of that is cosy?"
Daphne approached Luna until she was standing a few inches away from her face.
"I heard all about the 'encounter'" Daphne's voice was full of venom. "Let's just get one thing straight, no one calls him Draco, apart from me."
"What about his parents?" Luna dared to reply.
"Ha, as if his parents actually talk to him anymore." Daphne laughed, "Just, back off Lovegood. I don't know what's going on in your crazy little head, but it's stopping now."
"There's no-" Luna began but was cut off when Daphne pushed her violently and walked off.
The blonde brushed her robes down and continued walking. Her mind racing, doing circles over the same fact. Draco had obviously told Daphne and assumed that Luna liked him. She scoffed, obviously, he was attractive, but Luna would never think that way about him. The fact that Draco had the nerve to think that just made her mad, she had to get him back.
Yay, first chapter, the next chapter will be up asap I enjoy writing this story haha:D
