Luna woke the next morning to the sound of rain. She rose from the bed immediately and grabbed her bag from the floor. She had packed the day before. She was going to the forest again, and this time she would figure out what someone she thought was dead were doing there, and why he was hiding.
She went over to her closet and grabbed the biggest hoodie she could find.
"Could come of use" she thought.

She went down the stairs and headed to the Great Hall for breakfast with a smile on her face. Finally she had something to do, other than being alone with her thoughts. She could actually make a difference in somebody's life!
Just the way she liked it.
Luna slowed down a bit when she arrived at her table, unpacking a small lunchbox.
She filled it with sausages, toast, two boiled eggs, some bacon, five cherry-tomatoes and an apple.
"Eating outside in this weather?" Minerva McGonagall said looking up from The Daily Prophet "Yes" she smiled "I like this weather, it helps me think"
"Well then" The old witch said and looked down at the paper again.

Luna smiled and left the castle. She ran quickly down the hills and into the sheltering forest. She needed to find the hungry Slytherin.
She didn't want to call for him. He could think she was looking for him to get him arrested. She couldn't risk him running off and get caught by someone else with less friendly thoughts in mind.

She found her spot and decided to wait for him. If he knew she was there he would probably be close by in no time. If not he would check for enemies and find her anyways. She was right.

Draco wiped his dirty blonde hair out of his eyes as he woke from the restless and very uncomfortable sleep, trying to stretch his nick back in place. A tree isn't a very comfortable pillow.
He yawned and looked around. He was already wet from the rain.
"Damn" he thought. Now he had to walk himself dry to avoid getting sick. He was tired enough anyways! He tried to rise from the ground but halfway he stopped. He smelled something.
Food
He didn't care that he might get caught. It couldn't be her; he knew Luna wouldn't get out on a day like this. Who else used to eat their breakfast in the forest?
He followed the smell, quickly without a sound. Getting closer and closer with every step. He was now five steps away from her.

Luna heard a snap of a twig behind her and smiled. He was here.
She but the lunchbox down and cleared her voice.
"It's you isn't it?" She asked into the shadows
"My answer depends on what you intend with the asked question!"
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask you if you were hungry?" she continued
"Why?" Draco asked not sure if he really could trust her
"I brought you something" She said and reached the lunchbox out to him. "Please eat?"

Draco wanted to grab the food and just go but something kept holding him back.
"Come on, swallow your pride for once. Im nice, I'm just trying to help you!" Luna didn't raise her voice despite the urge to. She continued to hold out the lunchbox.
Finally he stepped out of the shadows and headed towards her.

Luna almost screamed when she saw him. Not of shock or anything. She was filled with sadness. Draco Malfoy wasn't anything like what he had once been.
His hair was tangled and dirty and half a meter longer than last time she had seen him. His robes were muddy and full of holes and barely covered him from the rain.
She saw a spark in his eyes when she gave him the lunchbox, hunger and a touch of happiness.. or something that looked like it.

He ate quickly, afraid that anyone might see him and have him arrested.
"Slow down, or you're just going to get sick!" Luna exclaimed and watched him eat the last piece of toast.
"Yeah? What if someone notice me?" He said and looked into Luna's eyes "Then I'm dead"
"But.." Luna stopped when she saw he was shivering. "Wait a second"
She grabbed the hoodie and gave it to him and once again his eyes light up.

Draco didn't understand. He had been such an idiot towards Luna in the past, why was she nice to him?
"Why are you nice to me?"
"Because that's who I am. If you will take my advice now?" She asked, but not waiting for an answer.
"You know, when you make people hate you because of your opinions, they tend to hate you back, and then you miss out all the good things about that person. You see, hate is blinding. The reason why you asked me that is because you never got or wanted a reason to get to know me. To you I'm just Loony" she stopped for breath, to find him nodding.
"My advice is, get to know a person before you decide not to like him or her" she continued but when she was done talking Draco had disappeared into the shadows again.
"I also believe everyone deserve a second chance!" She yelled after him knowing he heard her.

She smiled and rose from the ground. Walking back to the castle she thought of what she had just told him. She didn't know if he actually paid attention to her. He would probably change back to his old self and leave sooner or later. He had to. He had people looking all over the place for him.
But at least she had made him smile regardless of him liking it or not. She didn't expect any more meetings in the forest.
She needed to be alone. And he needed to find someone to help him. Or maybe that was her, maybe she could help him with something more than food and a hoodie. She didn't know and honestly she didn't want to find out. She didn't trust him. It was just in her nature to be nice to him no matter what he had done. Everyone needs an advice now and then..
