Draco stood there in the library looking out the window watching the cold snowflakes fall down onto the snow covered ground. He tugged at his scarf tightly, as he exhaled his white breathe showed making the window fuzzy. He shut his eyes from the glare of the snow, just like he had shut his eyes at the sight of his fathers cold glare. His friends were most likely teasing some scrawny gryfindoor kid and for once he did not feel like doing the same, it was so quiet in the library infact,it was so quiet he wondered if he was the only one there. The snow was as pale and cold as he was, his blue eyes piercing the glass and his light fair hair tumbled clammily over his sweating forehead. ''The snow's quite wonderfall this year isn't it Draco'' A soft voice reminding Draco of windchimes sounded from behind him making him spin around in fear, his wide eyes soon narrowed into slits as he took in the sight of Luna Lovegood.

The crazy witch whose father was strongly disliked by many of his fathers associates, he drank in the sight of her though still, her face was as pale as ever just as pale as his own, her lips were slightly cracked because of the cold weather, her long light blonde hair flew about her in locks down to her waist and her innocent wide eyes looked at him in a daze. She was wearing some form of dress which Draco had never seen before, it was the colour of rainbow and flew out around the mid of her knees, he glanced down at her feet which were not even covered by shoes they were however covered in cold wet snow and ice.

A small bit of snow was still on her delicate little nose which Draco despised ''Looney, why don't you go along with Potter and all your queer friends, i don't like talking to crazy people'' Draco sneered viciously at her, though to his dismay Luna Lovegood barely blinked at his statement and only smiled slightly as her eyes glazed over looking past him to the window in which he was looking out of. Draco's patience was running out, so was his time, his eyes trailed down to her hand which held some sort of blue flower that only Granger would know about. He scoffed looking at it clutched in her tiny pale hand which of course had no gloves ''What is that piece of trash''? He asked scornfully glacning at the plant yet again, he looked up to see Luna's eyes had snapped up at that comment for the first time he saw tears brimming at the edge of her eyes as they started to trickle down her pale cheeks he chuckled triumphantly as her eyes were filled with pain, ''aw,did i hurt little Looneys feelings''? He asked harshly, still chuckling as he'd finally been able to hurt her in some way, unlike the rest of the witches and wizards he had imprinted with his words of hatred.

Luna's eyes pierced into his own with so much sadness that he wondered if she were going to break as soon as the wind blew, she would crack into little sharp pieces of glass. With her eyes filled with her tears, ''It's for my mother, it's her death aniversary today, I'm going to go spend time with her forever now'' Her voice was sharp yet it choked at the end, as if someone had broken a string on a guitar at the last note. As she said this she was spinning around and running barefoot out of the abandoned library, Draco watched as her dress floated along with her. He did not know what to think, though a strange feeling in the pit of his chest sunk like an anchor into him, he had never known Luna's mother was dead, he assumed she was just a loon like her parents though he admitted he had never heard anything of her mother before. He began to stare back outside the window again watching as more and more snowflakes covered the once normal ground, the feeling worsened until he couldn't take it anymore, he replayed her last statement ''It's for my mother,It's her death aniversary today, I'm going to spend time with her forever now'', He frowned ''I'm going to spend time with her forever now'' SHe had said, Draco's eyes widened, she couldn't possibly mean what he had thought she meant...but...the feeling in his chest grew and before he knew it he was on his feet running faster then ever. How was this Draco Malfoy? Chasing after a girl he barely knew and disliked.

He ran across Hogwarts, until his heart started to give in. Everywhere he looked, surely she wouldn't have gone into the Dark Forest he thought in fright. Thought Draco would never admit it that place scared him even mroe than his own father, even more then The Dark lord himself. In spite of himself he ventured past the castle and arond where the hairy Hagrid's cottage was, looking aimlessly. If anyone were to see him he would've lied himself out of embarrassment, never admitting he was actually worried for the loon.

He spun around his blue eyes searching for any sign of her, his eyes caught a flicker of pale hair much like his own as he faced Hogwarts. His heart jolted as he looked up onto the roof on one of the ridges to see Luna Lovegood with all her wild pale hair flicking out beneath her, her long skinny legs danglign off the roof and her eyes peering down to the ground. No one was below her,they were all somehwere else, her eyes were wide and curious the blue flower she had had was now falling down to the ground. Like spiders crawing down its web in the rain, blue petals fell down with it.

Before he knew it his pale legs were running from underneath him, now he stood almost underneath Luna Lovegood who only gave him an exasperated look. For a second there he possibly saw her eyes flicker with an almost sane look as if she were actually there for a second,seeing the world for what it was but just like that they flickered back to a daze like state. He just stared at her, preparing for the worst ''Honestly Draco it is only Death which will take me sooner than later, we all die at one point. If you lived to die wouldn't you just die to live? I read that in a muggle book, the author was quite the characto-'' Her sweet high pitched girly voice was cut off by Dracó's cold one, ''LOONEY GET DOWN FROM THERE'' He shouted angrily, dissapointed that the nickname yet again did not effect her as she shook her head and her pale locks bounced around her giving the appearance of innocence yet again. Luna swayed her legs again looking down at the ground wear the flower lay motionlessly, soon she would be motionless and blue too, she thought suddenly.

The thought of being with her mother again making experiments and not being with the people at Hogwarts who did not understand her completely at all made her stomach and mind fill with a pitless black sea, an anchor inside of her drowned her deeper in it. SHe wanted it to end, but she felt extremely guilty she would leave the Thestrals by themselves and her father it saddened her that he would be all alone. SHe pondered this for minutes and minutes of silence as the pale Slytherin boy below her watched her with hawk eyes, she finally decided she wouldn't do it. At least not today.

She quickly got down from the high high roof and was soon on the grounds standing beside Draco who had a bewildered expression on his face as he looked at her, she only inclined her head to him her locks falling from her head like tumbling ballerinas and a small smile was on her face yet again ''I'm going to go see the Thestrals'' She said suddenly her smile qidening and her big innocent blue pool eyes loooked at him with a smile, Draco, only knowing painful emotions sneered ''you really are Looney, now everyone will know you are suicidal as well as a loon''Draco said smugly beginning to walk away the feeling in his stomach emptying and his mind now self absorbed as always, he turned back to the crazy girl one last time her face was not full of hurt much to his dismay just a small smile ''One more word to their mouths'' SHe whispered to herself as she too walked away, well skipped away, ready to go see the Thestrals that pulled the carriages along.

If you lived to die, wouldn't you just die to live?
