Chapter 3

The first night of tutoring had exhausted Draco. He wasn't used to working after school time apart from homework. And usually, that was done for him. He struggled to keep his eyes open and tried to take in what Professor Flitwick was saying. Something about a summoning…

Luna had stayed up quite late trying to remember the instructions to the boils curing potion but must have fallen asleep at one point. Cho had woken her up though.

"Did you hear anymore buzzing?" Had been Luna's immediate question.

But to her dismay, Cho's answer had been a, "No."

Now they, (as well as Ginny) were sat in charms, and Luna was struggling to keep her focus. Charms was a lovely lesson and it usually held her interest. Professor Flitwick was also her head of house and she knew that he was a lovely, entertaining man. However today the combination of the Wrackspurts around Draco Malfoy's head and her own fatigue weren't permitting her to concentrate.

"Mr Malfoy!" Professor Flitwick's high voice carried across the room, jolting a sleeping Draco awake. A ripple of laughter went through the classroom.

"You two must have been up late together last night!" Ginny said in a joking whisper. Well Luna was sure it was intended to be a whisper but the classroom had gone silent after a stern look from Professor Flitwick so the sound carried across the room. A nervous titter came up from the seats around them. Flitwick didn't bother trying to hush them and decided to carry on with the lesson. However Luna couldn't help but notice that what seemed like a staring contest was going on between Pansy and Ginny. When Pansy's icy glare turned to her, Luna frowned in confusion. However Pansy seemed to get offended by that.

"Did you see that?!" Pansy hissed.

"See what?" Draco asked rolling his eyes. He didn't have to worry about her seeing him as her gaze was focused on Luna.

"She frowned at me! She threw me a dirty look!" Draco couldn't stop the laughter from escaping his lips. She frowned at her?! Really? That's what got her so upset? Pansy whipped her head around so quickly it was a blur. Her malevolent glare was now on him and his laughter ceased immediately. He noticed everyone staring at them. Even Lovegood. This was her fault.

"Pansy-" He murmured from the corner of his mouth, "Ever-"

"You think this is funny?!" She shouted, interrupting him. The entire class flinched at her roar. "What were you doing with her?" She pointed at Lovegood with a disgusted look. "Come on, I want to know!"

"It was nothing like that." Draco said calmly. His patience was wearing incredibly thin and he didn't think he could stay calm if Pansy kept carrying on.

"Don't lie to me." She hissed, "What was ginger over there talking about?"

"Oi!" Came Ginny's indignant shout from across the room.

"It was a joke." He said one eyebrow raised.

"I don't think I believe you!" She said turning away from him with her nose in the air.

"Fine then! Don't!"

"You know what?! We're done!" She yelled as she turned back to face him.

"Does it look like I care?" He sneered, (a trait he had picked up from his godfather). That scathing comment seemed to be the last straw for Pansy as she stood up and moved to the other side of the room with her friends. Draco's stomach sank as he realised what he'd done. His father would not be happy. But the feeling of a weight being lifted from his shoulders, the freedom of not having Pansy breathing down his neck washed away his worries. She had broken up with him. This wasn't his fault.

At lunch Luna checked if there was any buzzing from her plate. She trusted Cho but anyone could mishear. Or not hear. After she had eaten she would make her way down to the quidditch pitch. The great hall was buzzing with excitement for the Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff match and Luna was no exception.

The Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs were in seats directly facing each other and the Ravenclaws and Slytherins were opposite each other too. Of course they were slightly mixed but most people tended to stick with their own houses. Luna and Cho had joined the Gryffindors to watch Ginny and Harry play. The crowd murmured excitedly as the balls were released and let out a loud cheer when the whistle blew.

Draco made his way down to the great hall for lunch. He sat down in his usual seat but there was a freedom about it. No clingy Pansy grabbing at his arm or trying to feed him. Crabbe was already sat down and Goyle arrived shortly after Draco. He felt rather grateful to the Lovegood girl. She was the one that had ensured this freedom. But Draco wasn't about to give her the wrong message. First his girlfriend breaks up with him because of her and then he starts being nice to her? Nuh uh, that would definitely give the wrong message. As Dumbledore finished his extensive speech Draco saw the food appear. Grabbing the nearest platter, he shoved the chips onto his plate. He needed to have a full stomach if he was going to deal with Luna Lovegood.

Luna didn't bother checking her plate for any suspicious sounds as she needed to hurry to get to her tutoring session on time. As she finished she noticed a lone black owl flying towards the Slytherin table. It landed directly in front of Draco Malfoy who opened it with a frown. The frown only deepened as he read the contents. Whatever it was she hoped that it wasn't too bad.

She sat down in the dungeons waiting for Draco to arrive. The bleak dungeon did nothing to make the wait any more bearable. Five minutes later he arrived scowling and grumbling about something. "Shall we get started?" She asked brightly.

He looked at her with a scowl and said, "What did you think I was going to do?"

Today they were working on the antidote to common poisons. The ingredients were laid out but Draco still seemed grumpy. He needed his focus on the potion, there wasn't a teacher here to save them from being blown to smithereens by a rogue ingredient hitting the flames. The way to keep his focus was to solve his problem.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"What do you mean what's wrong?" He answered, being completely unhelpful.

"What's bothering you? You came in here grumbling about something, what was bothering you?"

"Isn't it obvious? I lost my girlfriend." Luna had never been in a romantic relationship but she knew that losing someone you had feelings for couldn't be easy.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked gently.

His eyes narrowed, "Everyone seems to have already done the talking."

"What does that mean?" She asked confused.

"It doesn't matter what it means." He said with a sigh.

"I don't think you know anyway." Luna said looking at the tiny flying dots of glowing purple that were buzzing around Draco's head.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about." He said with a scowl.

"That's not what the Wrackspurts around your head are telling me." She said mimicking Draco's expression. His head turned to both sides in shock.

Brilliant. The Loony talk has begun. "What are you talking about?"

"Wrackspurts."

"There's nothing there." He said impatiently.

"You can't see them because you're not wearing spectrespecs or the 'contact lens' version of them."

"What are you- nevermind- Are you wearing the contact lens version?" He asked, hoping if he played along that the conversation would end quickly.

"Yes! My father designed them, it took him a long time to get it right."

"What are 'Wrackspurts'?" He asked curiously.

"Well..." And with that Luna launched into a detailed explanation of what Wrackspurts were. The explanation wandered occasionally with her train of thought but overall it made sense to Draco. Neither of them noticed the time passing as their potions session turned into a magical creature's one.
