Chapter 4: Where To Go From Here?

No. That never happened. I hear a door open, as I open mine, but it isn't mine. Its the other professors coming to bed. I think I have offended Draco, and go to kick my packed trunk under the bed, but all I do is stub my toe. After five minutes of waiting for my toe to stop stinging, damn I wish Draco was here to kiss it better...kiss away the guilt I felt by knowing he still liked me, after just 1 day, I push the trunk under the bed. Thats the whole point though, we have been talking for 1 day, and look whats happened, I have touched him, and kissed, and what would that have progressed to? I swear he was about to touch my breast!

I got a job here to stay near him, but now I realize I need to focus on the job. I go to bed, and set my alarm for I dream what is a most wonderful dream...

There was the sun setting, and a rainbow was in my view, and there were unicorns and hippogriffs and all sorts of beautiful creatures. There were a few merpeople in the pond, and a few bowtruckles that I knew were hard to notice, but I could, laying at my feet. I was sat making a daisy chain for my head, I had just finished, and was about to place it on my head, when I saw something in the distance...

And, I am sorry to say, this is were I know my dream faulters...

He rode up to me, on his steed, a knight in shining armour. He took his helmet off and helped me to my feet gently. He had white-blonde hair and cold pale grey eyes, but I liked them. He helped me on to his horse, who nwas a magnificent Black, and got on in front of me. He grabbed for my hands, and placed them around his waist, and we rode off together into the distance, and...BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP

The alarm went off, and I got out of bed groggily and dressed in some old clothes ready for working conditions. Huh, 50 minutes until work, what do I do? Did I bring any books? I grabbed that wretched old Trunk, and threw it open, almost breaking the rusty lock. I rummaged past my clothes, past my school books, and then I was relieved. The Tales Of Beedle The Bard...I guess it will have to do.

I plopped down on the bed and started to read through the first story; The Wizard And His Hopping Pot. After twenty minutes, whih felt like five, I got up and then remembered work. I peered at the clock, and there was only ten minutes until I HAD to be at Hagrid's. Shit, dont read in the mornings, Luna, because look where that got you!

I stormed out of the door, ignoring anyone left in the rrom, and sped toward the exit to the school, which was also the entrance. SMACK! I collided with a small girl who was wearing Gryffindor robes and her dark brown hair in a slicked back in a high pony-tail. She ooked up at me after a few secionds, and I got control and said to her "I'm so very sorry. I am in a rush because I may be late for work because I was reading, and it is my first day in the job. Excuse me..." I walked past her and heard her mumble what I though was "Its ok." Oh God, you're such a clutz, Luna!

I speed-walked down to The Hut, and just made it in time! Hagrid opened the door, didn't pay that much attention to me, and then told me, " Um...fist lesson is the 4th years, so we're covering unicorns. If you could go prpare it, you know...since your a girl. You can...um...groom it, and um just make sure it is prepared to meet new people please." I nodded, although I doubt he saw it. He seemed to sense it, though, and he turned and walked back inside leaving the door to his Hut wide open. Oh, thanks for welcoming me and offering me some tea or something, I feel we're gonna get get on so well...not. No...something must be wrong, I can't judge him quite yet.

The unicorn was wandering lightly around his pen, which was on the outskirts of the forbidden forest, which was the not so forbidden part of the forbidden forest. She was pure whit, with a glow that shined off her skin. She had a pale green eye, and a silver horn the same coulor as her hair. She was my definition of beautiful. I picked up a brush and went over to greet the unicorn, who seemed to take a liking to me. I left the unicorn to nibble at what Harid had put in a bowl at the side of the pen, and went togo scrub my hands in the bowl attached to the outside wall of the pen. It made my hands feel clean and warm.

I walked into Hagrid's Hut and found him drinking a bucket sized mug of Tea; when I got closer though, I realized that it wasn't tea, but Fire-Whiskey, which is not as strong as muggle whiskey, but if you drink alot, it can have some effects on you. I walked up to Hagrid, pulled the mug away from him and stared towards the clock. 8:50. "HEY!" Hagrid reached his Giant-hand across the table, and I threw her arm back, "Are you going to tell me whats wrong, or will I have to pry it from you?" I was suprised at how serious and demanding I sounded. "I...uh...am just missing the support I got from Harry, Ron and Hermione, thats all." Hagrid said, and he then stared at his hands which were drumming against the table nervously. "Oh, Hagrid...you don't need to worry, you have become a wonderful Professor!" I tried to sound cheerful, but lets face it, I am not the happiest person in the world due to last nights events. "Thanks, and..um, you need to put your hair up, new school rule. Sorry!" Hagrid then grabbed a black scrunchie, and tied it around his tangle of hair. I reached into my pocket, and to my luck found an orange elastic band, which I then used to tie the end of my braid. I followed in the direction where Hagrid was going.

The rest off the day went by; second lesson I had to help teach about bowtruckles to the 5th years, and the third lesson I had to help get the flobberworms dor the 1st years and then in fourth lesson I had to get buckbeak from his pen, and bring him to Hagrid for the 3rd years to see. I had last lesson free. My favourite lesson of the day was fourth, As much as I love Unicorns, I think there is a mystical side to the Hippogriff that gets underestimated, and they are really incredibly beautiful creatures.

Hagrid had told Me that I would be needed only for second and third lesson tommorow, even though Hagrid was teaching all lessons except fourth. I had at that point wondered what I would do for the time being, and thought of a pressing matter, and ,my dream...He had white-blonde hair and cold pale grey eyes. I needed to apologize. to say it was a rush, and I was overwhelmed, to say I would love to do waht we progessing to, which was hopefully me being able to fuck him. I wanted it so badly. Him, so badly. How to win him back would be another thing. How?

Luna sat on her bed, a piece of parchment in her hand; a letter for Draco, It read:

Dear Draco,

I am sorry for the way I acted the previous day, and i am asking for your forgivness. I was overwhelmed by the pace of our relationship...what I thought was a friendship. We were doing what we were after 1 day, imagine after 1 week. Please, im really sorry, give me a second chance. We could take it slow, or fast, because im prepared bow. I want you, I need you, and I always have done...think about it and tell me hoe you feel soon,

sincerely, Luna

I wandered into Draco's room, after checking he wasnt there, and, planted the note just under his duvet where he would lift it later. I was about to walk out the door, when The bell went, and I heard footsteps. I hid in the bathroom, peeped; Draco was in his room, stripping, getting ready for a shower, in the bathroom that I was in!...
