AN: Chapter 4 is finally here, sorry it's been so long, my exams have been taking the front seat at the moment, however I've got a few free days so I will use them to write and bring an eventual end to this fic, thank you for still being here and being patient with my erratic updating but here is the next chapter, please enjoy and as usual rate and review! x
Christmas finally came around, Luna would be spending it at school this year, she couldn't stay with Dad, she couldn't put him through it.
Luna had never stayed at Hogwarts over Christmas, as far as she was concerned it was cold and lonely. Perfect. She was the only one in her part of the dorm, she remained in bed for three days straight before she emerged. Even though she had been in bed Luna felt as if she had not slept a wink, the purple under her hollwing eyes stood out, they looked like bruises in comparison to Luna's fair complexion.
It was 11ish in the morning when Luna stirred. She put on an oversized jumper (slightly more oversized than it used to be) and some ¾ trousers, her shoes were still missing though. The icy flagstone tickled her feet as she walked towards the Great Hall. During the holiday breakfast was served later, giving the students the oppurtunity for a lie in. Luna helped herself to a mug of tea. She let the steamy air spiral up towards her face, warming her on this frosty December morning.
She glanced across the hall, catching sight of the white blonde boy sat alone, fixated on the morning paper although not really reading it, just staring blankly at the page. Luna, in turn, stared at him. She kept staring, perhaps for a little too long as Draco looked up and met her gaze. They stared into each others eyes across for the hall for what seemed like an eternity.
Luna finished her tea, got up, and left.
