A Day in the Life of Luna Loony Lovegood
The
long corridor was a bustle with students, so quietly Luna lovegood
slipped around a corner to the empty, or at least what she thought
was empty, charms corridor. Finding a dusty windowsill, she climbed
atop it and tried to fall once again back into her book. It was
impossible. Luna frowned through her long curtain of hair, distracted
for a moment and wondered at its silky shine, until a voice snapped
her from her pondering. So much for peace.
"What
is it Longbottom, forgotten which way's up?" a jeering voice
mocked.
Glancing
towards the other end of the hall her frown only deepened, it was
that Gryffindor, the clumsy one, ooh if only she could remember the
name. With a groan he rolled onto his back and she caught sight of
the small trail of blood that had trickled from his nose.
Shrugging
she looked back to her book, it was entitled The Mysteries of the
Storlorks and she had been reading it all morning only to find
herself still at the seventh chapter. Her brain was pounding out of
her head, no point even continuing really. Sighing she shut the musty
pages and put the book on the dusty windowsill beside her as a shadow
stepped in front of her.
Gazing
up, her eyes met with cold ice. "Well if is loony lovegood,
found the loonybin yet, eh?" Draco Malfoy smirked down at her,
his friend, the dreadlocked one, twisted his own lips into a
condescending smile.
Nonchalantly
she stared unblinkingly up at him, God he is rather tall she mused.
The
smirk faltered slightly, "Oi! Loony? Awake in there?"
"You're
Aura has attracted Eilyns, they do tend to flock to a bad odour
though," she muttered at him slightly, masking her face with an
empty blankness.
"God,
you're round the twist Lovegood, call yourself a Ravenclaw,"
unfeelingly he looked at her in disgust before stalking off.
Zabini,
well she wasn't sure, names really weren't her forte, grinned, "you
no, I don't mind blondes."
"Really
that's quite nice, I suppose Draco is quite good looking,"
smiling at him thoughtfully.
Blaise
Zabini's face was thunderstruck as he swept around and stalked off
muttering about, "Stupid, loony bitches."
The
silent Slytherins who had been at his side, chuckled before chasing
off after him with a similar silent glee.
Resting
her gaze at the crumpled heap on the floor she twisted her face for a
moment, then she gasped in recognition.
"Neville
Longbottom!" her eyes flickered and she smiled a wide smile,
that was his name.
"Huh?"
came a whimper, the huddle from the floor looked up.
"Hmm?"
she jerked and stared at him, blinking herself to life again, she
really had to stop daydreaming.
Glancing
at her oddly he hauled himself to his feet and clutched his side
wincing.
"Oh,
you're hurt, I forgot," reaching for her wand his eyes widened
in alarm.
"Err
I think Ill jus go to the hospital wing," he mumbled fearfully,
stumbling away from her.
Unperturbed
Luna continued, "Oh no need I'll mend you in a minute,"
reaching for his arm she lifted her wand to his side.
"No!
Honestly! There's no need!" before he could protest any longer
she muttered a charm.
A
warm glow settled at his side and then dissolved away into the fabric
of his t-shirt.
"There,
the bruises are gone but I'm afraid I can't do anything for your
nose, I'm not that good," she tilted her head in apology.
Wiping
the blood from his nose he smiled at her nervously, "thanks, uh,
Luna. I never knew you heal, really never pitched you as the type. I
uh didn't mean it like that! I'm sure you'd be a brilliant healer! I
just you're a bit... you know... I don't think my nose is broken,
bit sore but ummm...thanks anyway."
"Good!"
beaming, not even noticing his blush, she turned and floated down the
corridor, her light, silky hair shone brightly in the sun that
filtered in through the windows and a bashful Neville Longbottom
stood rooted, looking on with a newly found admiration.
