Chapter 7
In the great hall that day Luna had gotten to see a whole new attitude from Draco. He wasn't mad like he had been yesterday. It was like he had switched personalities or something. He even tried to talk to her but seemed to have a hard time doing so. They even finished the assignments they were given. They had to fill out question sheet's from asking each other about their family and personal interests. They had started doing it the normal way of asking each other the questions listed but he gave up on talking to her and suggested they'd just fill out their own sheets and then give each other the sheet about them to read over. Obviously the point of this was to get to know each other.
Draco's sheet was rather surprising to her. His interests were music, qidditch and wizard's chess. His favorite subject in school was Transfigurations and his least favorite was divination. He would only like to have one child that would excel above all others but was open to more than one. He would want a big and expensive wedding that everyone would hear about and only the famous and beautiful would get invited to. He wanted to live in south scotland when he got his own house, he would want there to be horses there.
He seemed to have a lot of ideas about how he wanted to live. He seemed to have a lot of dreams that he wanted to fulfill for his own pleasure and being a deatheater wasn't one of them. She knew he'd end up one eventually, that was his fate that he would not escape by any means. As weird as it felt to Luna, she felt like she knew him so much more and how hard it was for him to have to constantly battle with keeping the image of Lucius Malfoy's son.
Luna was walking down the corridor that led to the comonroom. When she got to the entrance she almost bumped into Draco coming out. "Oh I'm sorry" she blurted out afraid he'd get mad but he didn't instead he steadied her by grabbing her upper arms and holding her still. "Are you okay?" he asked. Luna's mouth opened in surprise and she nodded. He let her go and seemed to realize what he had done so he stormed off in the direction of the great hall.
Luna just stood there for a second before she entered the comonroom and went into her and Draco's room. She decided to take a look at the wedding planner. She grabbed the book of the desk and lounged in the love seat by the fire. She opened the book at the first page which was the same as the cover. She turned the page and the whole page was one big calendar of september the next opening was october then november and at last december. She guessed that was for planning dates and such. The pages after that were ideas of proposals, places to get married in, people that could marry them, places to get rings in. Then there was a page where Luna was supposed to describe the perfect engagement ring and the perfect dress. Then there were bunch of empty pages for them to fill out with wedding and engagement stuff. And finally there were ten pages in the back dedicated to a list of people coming to the wedding.
Luna felt tired after flipping through the book for two hours. It was nine pm and she decided to skip dinner and just go to bed. When she got up to go to the bedroom Draco walked in. He obliviously noticed the wedding planner in her hands and the air between them became awkward.
"I wasn't planning anything" she quickly said. "I was just checking it out" she added. He eased down and shrugged. Luna put the book on the desk again and walked into her room. "Umh, good night" she said carefully but he didn't respond with words he just nodded.
