Chapter7
As Draco stormed away from the great hall, his mind went into a deep thought. It was really odd for him to think like that. To be angry at himself and at someone who was opposite of his gender. Well except Hermione but that was already given. Normally, he would not think of girls like that as someone ravishing and at the next second be filthy. Never had he thought of Pansy as someone like that. She had a different kind of beauty that was made of money and years of lessons. With Luna, it was different. It was not obvious. But when you see it, it would leave a mark on you. Plus the fact that she was smart and wise. That's what he hated the most. Her presumptions of him were all right.
"Bloody Lovegood!" He shouted and continued stomping on the floor. He walked up the stairs and went to the Room of Requirement. He busied himself in fixing the cabinet. After hours of hard work and sweat, he slumped down beside the cabinet and thought again. Luna Lovegood was a nuisance to him and he decided that she was a waste of her time. A waste of time indeed. He decided that he would only think of completing his mission. He would never be fazed again with any distraction. Only the mission and studies. But his mind trailed off again to the thought of her. Her dreamy smile that seemed to explain a thousand reasons why she was so carefree. And her intuitiveness. Yes, her intuitiveness. It seemed that she knew him more than he knew himself right now. How could that girl do that?
"What are you thinking Draco?! You are going bonkers! You'll be loony like her!" Draco shouted to himself. Annoyance crept up him and decided to put the matter of fixing the cabinet later. He still had Quidditch practice. So, he packed his stuff and left.
While walking to the Great Hall, he thought of back up plans while trying to fix the cabinet. He will try other ways to kill the Headmaster while fixing the cabinet. He was so busy with his thoughts that he did not notice that he was already at the Great Hall until he bumped into his friend, Theodore Nott.
"Bloody hell Draco!" Theodore shouted as they bumped into each other. Apparently, Theodore was carrying a flask of pumpkin juice and the contents of the flask spilled onto him.
"What?! Oh... I'm sorry Theodore!" Draco broke his train of thought and looked at his friend. "Scourgify!"
"What's happening with you Draco?" Theodore asked as he handed Draco the half empty flask and walked back to their place.
"I don't know. Just busy." The blonde replied as he followed his friend. When they reached their place, Draco plopped down to his seat and took a swig of the drink in his hand. His friend looked at him with concern and looked back to his food.
"Girl problems?" Theodore asked as he took in a spoonful of mashed potatoes.
"What?! Girl problems? Mate I'm not even seeing a girl right now. Not even Pansy." Draco roared with laughter. Well except Lovegood if you even count it as seeing each other. But I don't. He thought. He looked at the array of food on the table and started piling his favourites on his plate.
"It's not that?"
"Oh bloody hell no!" Draco laughed.
"Then why were you angry this morning and when you left, your food spelled LL?" Theodore asked. Draco stopped abruptly from arranging the foods he picked and looked at his friend.
"My plate had what?!" The blonde was shocked.
"To repeat what I have said and you know I hate repeating it, your plate spelled LL." He said half-heartedly as he was transfixed on a treacle tart 5 seats away from him. Draco was at a loss for words. Why did I spell that? He thought. Maybe it was his anger that made him spell that. But no, he was smarter than that. He was not even in love with that girl. And thinking of her? That's not even allowed in his own rule.
"Oh that. I was...uhm...trying out this new candy from Honeydukes. It makes you see better. It's called...Licorice Lensifiers. I was trying out if I could write it in my food and see what I wrote microscopically. Yes that's what I did." Draco said matter-of-factly. Thank goodness he was a quick-thinker. His outer features were smug again as he ate his food.
"Oh...ok." Theodore asked no more and went back to eating his food. When Draco was finished with his food, he went straight to the lake near the Quidditch field and rested. He summoned his stuff for practice and rested. During that time, he let his thoughts wander off as he waited for 3 pm. Due to his tiredness, he quickly fell asleep.
"Wake up Draco!" A voice boomed in his ear. Draco suddenly woke up from his slumber and stretched.
"What. Is. It. Goyle?!" The blonde shouted.
"We're already late for practice! Come on hurry up!" Goyle started to run to the pitch and quickly, Draco followed him. Good thing when they reached the field, the other house was just ending and their teammates were waiting in the stands. Taking flight in the pitch were the Gryffindors.
"It's bloody Pothead showing off again." Draco mused. He stood by a pole near the stands and waited for the Gryffindors. Out of boredom, he scanned the areas to see if there was anyone watching the Gryffindors practice. True enough, there was someone watching. It was Luna Lovegood. His mind was a bit haywire again. Now why is Lovegood here?! He thought. He scanned around the field and checked that there was nothing really that good to see. He was so deep into his thoughts that he didn't notice that his mates were already going to the middle.
"Oi Malfoy! Come over here!" Urquhart shouted. Draco stumbled from his position and quickly swaggered off to the middle. He looked at the Gryffindors and saw that Harry was going to a different direction; a direction that he does not want him to go to. Harry walked to the stands and went to Luna's side as Luna waved at him.
Draco watched the scene from afar and there was anger bubbling up in the pits of his heart. He watched them as they talked and chatted. As he was fixing his stuff, he looked at the two and his brows were furrowed. Why are they together? He thought. But then, Draco was called by his teammates and turned away from the two who were having quite a laugh. Draco went to the air and started practicing. Take your thoughts away from him Draco! He thought. He tried but the image of her in his mind never left.
