Draco's POV by GASPLudwig

Cute? Did Lovegood just call me cute? Why the hell would she do that? What did she mean anyway?

"So...Loony Luna...called you...cute?" Blaised asked as we walked into the Slytherin common room, collapsing on the black leather couches that consumed the room.

"Yes. She. Called. Me. Cute." I emthasised each word, getting slightly aggrevated.

"How do you think it means?" Was the best thing he could come up with?

"I don't know. I was asking you."

Did she know what she was saying when she called me cute? Did she realize she was saying it? Was it a good thing? Was that her way of calling me a baby? Was that an insult? Holy crap, that was an insult! How dare that git insult me, Draco Malfoy, the dragon, the Slytherin prince!

Who did she think she was? I hopped off of the couch and made my way towards the door, ignoring the questions Blaise screamed after me.

I charged down the hallway in search for the loon, still slightly fuming. Thats when i spotted her. There she was, out by the black lake, her arms swinging rapidly above her head as if she was trying to scare something away. I walked up to her, stopping when i was just out of her arms reach.

"Lovegood!" I screeched, ducking as she swung her arms in my direction.

"Oh, hello Draco." She said, not bothering to stop waving her arms above her head.

"Listen Lovegood, I...well, you see...what...WILL YOU STOP THAT!" I yelled, earning silent glares from nearby students as i quickly became outraged.

"I'm sorry, but i can't. I need to warn the Flizwicks to stay away from the lake..." She told me, she lowered her voice before continuing, "The giant squid isn't too fond of them." Her whisper was barely audible and i wondered how i even managed to pick it up.

My mouth stood agap for a few moments as i watched while she frantically shook her arms above her head.

Thats when the wind blew the soft scent of peaches in my direction that could only be coming off of Luna Lovegood.

I have to admit, Loony wasn't that bad to look at sometimes. Her hair looked blonder in the sunlight, and her eyes were more vibrant when they locked with yours. She was actually quite...nice to look at? Is it possible that the loony Ravenclaw is actually...pretty? Is it okay to think that she is? Is she? I mean, she's not completely ugly...but is she beautiful? Well...yes. I was struck by the realization.

At that moment, I knew what she meant when she called me cute. It wasn't and insult, and she wasn't mocking me. She simply thought that I was cute. I knew this now, because i was thinking the same thing about her.

I couldn't stop thinking about Lovegood for the rest of the day. Everything about her seemed different then how I saw it this morning. SHe was no longer the crazed Ravenclaw, she was the misunderstood beauty. She was just so...right. I don't know what i would do if I saw her again. Would i tell her she was beautiful? No. Would I be nice to her?...I honestly don't know.

She was the kind of person that you admire from afar. The girl you could never get close with. She didn't need anyone, so she didn't have anyone. She was better off being independent. She was strong like that.

The only people I know that have actually held a conversation with the girl are Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. And there was no way in hell i was asking them about this girl. That's another thing, she didn't seem to mind having friends in other houses. She was so kind to everybody, no matter who they were. So why would she want me? The guy that is mean to everyone. The guy that was mean to her all these years. Did she even care that i was mean to her? DOes she even...like me? I mean, I like her...I think...

Merlin, I hope she likes me.
