Hello :)

So this is my second fic (if you dont count the songfic thing)

and i hope you like it :)


"GO!" screeches Bellatrix, shoving an old tray into Draco Malfoy's hands and pushing him towards the dungeon. She wants him to bring food to the prisoner, Luna Lovegood. Of course, Draco only knows her as Looney, which is what everyone calls her at Hogwarts. He has no idea what her real name is.

Draco slowly walks down the steps, trying to stretch the time as long as possible. He doesn't want to go to the dungeon. He doesn't want to look into Looney's eyes and feel guilty for letting her be imprisoned. He wants to go lie on his bed and die.

"DRACO!" Bellatrix screams. He turns and looks at her, seeing the insanity shining in her eyes. "Go," she says impatiently.

He picks up the pace and unlatches the gates. It makes a creaking sound as it opens and only more when Draco tries to push it slower. The gate is finally all the way open and Draco tiptoes inside. Looney isn't here, so she must be sitting in the shadows or something.

Draco doesn't want his nervousness to show, so he clears his throat and says, rather harshly, "Get out here, Looney."

Luna Lovegood peeks around a wall and says, "Oh, hello, Draco."

"I told you to get out here," he orders again. The last thing he wants is to use his 'voice' but he couldn't let his fear show around Looney.

"Luna," she says.

"What?"

"You called me Looney and you're mistaken. My name is Luna." Draco is shocked. Looney – Luna – is in a dungeon, barely being fed anything edible, and yet she isn't broken down enough to stop herself from correcting his error.

"Oh," he says. What is there to say? "S-sorry, then."

"It's alright. Some people at school call me that but I'd prefer if you'd call me by my name, if you will." Draco winces a little and sets her tray on the floor as fast as he could without making a sound; he wants to leave. But before he could, Looney – Luna – stops him and says something again.

"I thought you were Bellatrix. That's why I hid behind the wall," she tells him. Of course, if Draco was in her position, he'd hide behind the wall too. He's pretty sure anyone would hide behind a wall if they thought Bellatrix was coming for them.

"No… problem," he says. Why is he so tongue-tied? Why can't he say two words without stutters? What is wrong with him?

Looney's eyes twinkle when a dim light hits them, and she smiles when she notices Draco staring.

"How's the weather outside?" she says. "I think it may be wintertime, but since I've been down here so long, I can't be too sure. Do you mind telling me?" The weather? Is Looney really asking Draco about how the weather is?

"It's wintertime," he mumbles. How someone could be so annoyingly calm in a situation like Looney's, Draco had no idea.

"Lovely," she says. Looney sits on the floor and picks at the old, stiff bread that Bellatrix threw onto the tray not ten minutes ago. Looney looks up and says, "Would you like to join me?"

He has nothing better to do. He rolls his eyes and sits across from Looney.

"How do you eat that?" he blurts out.

"Well, it isn't the best I've ever had, but it's something, isn't it?" She is so … ok with this. If Draco were to be treated like this, he would've gone mental by now. Now he really wants to leave.

"Well, it was nice seeing you, Looney," he says, and then he remembers and corrects himself. "I mean Luna. I've got quite a bit to do."

"Oh," she says, sounding a disappointed. "Will I be seeing you again?" She sounds like she genuinely wants to see Draco again, which confuses him to no end. She is Potter's friend; she is supposed to be spitting in his face right now, not asking if he was coming back to see her.

Draco stood up and left without another word.


Yea, it's kind of short, but I will update soon.
