As Hermione closed the door behind Draco, Luna walked in. She looked into Hermione's bloodshot eyes, and at Draco's presence.
"Hermione Granger. What the hell happened to Potter and why is Malfoy here?" Luna asked sternly. Draco's head hung as Hermione proceeded to tell Luna everything that had occurred. Luna's eyes filled with fury when Hermione finished. "That. BASTARD! How could he? Why the HELL is Draco is even here?" she asked suspiciously and Hermione started weeping all over again. Luna hugged her best friend, and tried to comfort her as best as she could. Draco just awkwardly stood next to them, trying to look less guilty than he felt.
"Well he happened to be at the Diner and when he saw me, he offered to take me home." Hermione replied quickly between sniffles. Luna was looking at Draco suspiciously and looked like if she didn't get a proper response, someone's ass was gonna get kicked.
"And why was he at the diner? "Luna still didn't seem satisfied.
"Oh my god, Luna. Lay off. I own the whole place, just in case you were wondering. I was just checking on a new employee that I hired, and I ran into Hermione. "Draco defended himself. When he saw that Luna seemed satisfied with this answer, he immediately relaxed. Hermione wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and looked at Luna and Draco.
"Hey Luna, Draco's gonna hang out with us."
Luna's mouth dropped. "You .Are. Kidding me…right?"
Hermione scowled. "I'm going upstairs to change into cloths that are actually wearable," she looked at Luna," Be nice. And Draco, feel free to invite Blaise over, Oh and can you order pizza?" Luna's cheeks turned slightly pink when she heard Blaise being mentioned. She turned around and stormed out of the room.
"MALFOY! You BETTER NOT ORDER HAWAIIAN PIZZA! IM VEGATARIAN," Luna screamed back at Draco.
"That bitch can read my mind, "Draco murmured to Hermione. She snorted and slapped Draco's arm. He snickered and gazed at Hermione as she went up the stairs. Hermione looked down and smiled sadly: A tear trickled down her face as she remembered what had occurred earlier that night. And its all my fault, Draco thought silently. He tightened his jaw and stormed out of the room. He walked all the way to the kitchen and pulled out his phone. Draco dialed Blaise's number and waited for him to pick up.
"Hey Draco. Were the hell are you?"yelled Blaise frantically.
"Shh! I'm at Hermione's house. Everything worked out great, and she wants me to hang out with her tonight."
"Dude, you are so in there. Everything has been taken care of at the diner, so we all good. Why'dya call me?"
"Hermione wants me to invite you over so I'm not the only guy."
"Woah wait a sec. There's other chicks there?"
"Yea. Luna"Draco answered. There was a long pause before Blaise replied.
"Luna's there?"
"Dude. Yeah, I just said at…is that alright?"asked Draco in a confused voice. He smirked and waited for Blaise's reply
"Oh yeah, yeah of course. Text me the address. What are we gonna do there?" Blaise inquired in a rushed voice. He was eager to chang the subject. If Draco learned that he fancied Luna…lets just say it would not remain secret for long.
"Nothing much. Just chill, eat pizza, watch a movie. Are you coming?"
"Helll yeah!"
"Okay, see ya." Draco laughed. He hung up and quickly ordered pizza. When he was done with everything he walked into the living room and flopped on the couch. Luna was sitting on a rug in front of the Television, watching Glee.
"Blaise is coming over," stated Draco to no one in particular. He glanced at Luna and saw no reaction. Draco cleared his thought and decided to try again. "I said, BLAISE was coming over…"
"If you are trying to annoy me you have utterly failed so you may stop trying." Luna replied in a very morbid tone.
"Well, you see Lovegood,I believe you are annoyed. That's why you're telling me to stop." Replied Draco in a very logical tone of voice.
"Shut up Malfoy." She retorted.
"You are just proving my point right now."Draco stood up and went up to Luna. He sat down on the rug next to her and gazed at the TV."Soo…what's happening right now?"
Luna side-glanced at Draco, "Are you really interesting in what's happening or are you trying to just annoy me?"
"Both."
Luna smirked and proceeded to explain what was happening in the show, but In the 1st 20 seconds ,Draco got bored and started to play with a charm-bracelet that was hanging off Luna's wrist. To make sure Luna thought he was listen he said "Oh, Ok." And "Mhm" in all the right places. When she realized that Draco went 'auto-pilot' mode, Luna yelled, "MALFOY!You little piece of shit;You have the attention span of a SQUIRREL!"
Draco looked hurt for a second and was about to release a string of insults, when he heard the door-bell ring. "I'll get it." Luna announced as she got up and went to the door. When she got there, Hermione has already opened the door and invited Blaise in. He took off his coat and hung it on the hook next to the door, but when Blaise's and Luna's eyes made contact, he quickly turned around and got something out of the pocket of his coat. Hermione gave Luna a weird like she knew what was going on and lead Blaise into the Living room. When Draco saw Blaise, he immediately got up and hugged him. Draco turned around and raised his eyebrow at Hermione's outfit; she wore black leggings and a huge oversized Sponge Bob T-shirt.
" Nice shirt." He commented sarcastically.
"Shut up Malfoy. Don't hate on the shirt." Hermione plopped down on the couch while the rest did the same. Draco managed to get the seat next to her, while Luna got the other side and Blaise next Luna. And on Luna, sat a bowl of popcorn and she didn't act like she was gonna share any. So for a few minutes the whole group talked about what a douche Harry was and all tried to comfort Hermione as she teared up. Luna saw that this was going nowhere, and so she got up and face Blaise, Hermione, and Draco.
"Ok, guys. Pizza's coming in like 30-ish minutes so until then, we are gonna play truth or dare. Then when the pizza comes, we are gonna watch Knight and Day. It has a little romance and lots of action so everyone is gonna love it,"she said. Luna Lovegood was a perfectionist and everything had to go…well, perfectly.
"I'm not exactly in the mood for romance right now." Hermione sniffled and blew her nose.
"Oh Hermione, stop it, "Luna scolded, "You're being a party-pooper."Luna got back on the couch and stated the rules of truth or was the same exept, you had to take of an article of clothing if you didn't want to answer the question or do the dare. Hairbands,braclets,socks,shoes all counted."Ok, Hermione you're 1st."
"Um…Draco!Truth or Dare?"
"Dare." Stated Draco bravely.
"I dare you too…go outside barefoot, bring me a snowball and come back inside." She waited to see if Draco would actually do it. Draco smirked but that quickly disappeared when she realized she wasn't joking.
"Oh shit. You're not joking."Draco looked horrified. He looked around for help. Luna's expression was blank so he knew he wouldn't get anything from her, and Blaise was only interested in Luna's hair. She was completely oblivious to the fact the Blaise was bouncing her curls on his palm.
"Draco! Don't be a wimp…you can't handle a dare….from a girl?!That's pretty sad,"Blaise taunted. Luna slapped his arm and Blaise withdrew his hand from her curls. Seeing there was no other way out, Draco got up, took of his socks and ran outside on the front porch. He scooped up a handful of snow and ran back inside, but instead of making it into a ball; he took it and dropped the whole thing down Hermione's shirt. She jumped an screamed as Blaise and Luna both laughed so hard that tears were streaming down their cheeks. Hermione daintly ran out of the room, and stormed up the stairs to change. Luna wiped her tears off her face with the back of her hand. She saw that her mascara was running and also ran out of the room after Hermione.
"Nice one, Bro!"Blaise high-five Draco."You really know how to get a girl to fall in love with you,"he commented sarcastically.
"Dude, just shut up,"replied Draco moodily. Blaise just chuckled and threw a piece of popcorn in the air and caught it with his mouth.
A few minutes later, both girls returned downstairs. Hermione had changed into an oversized Hogwarts hoodie and Luna's mascara wasn't all over her face. Everyone continued Truth or Dare until the pizza came (Draco and Blaise split the cost), and then they watched the movie. Hermione subconsciously leaned her head against Draco's chest, and so He draped his arm around her and pulled her closer. When Blaise saw how comfortable Draco and Hermione looked together, he glanced at Luna. She looked back and saw his staring at her, so He opened his arms in her direction.
"Don't. Even. Think about it Zabini." Luna scooted closer to Hermione and glared back at Blaise.
Draco coughed something that sounded supsiously like,"Nice try." Blaise just sulked and crossed his arms over his chest.
The movie was over and everyone was saying goodbye at the door. Hermione hugged Blaise and Draco goodbye, but Luna would only shake their hands. Boys, in her opinion, still had cooties. When Hermione closed the door, Zabini turned around and looked at Draco.
"Did u ask her?" asked Blaise.
"Ask what?" Draco looked uninterested for a second.
"Her out! Did u ask her out?"
"Oh, …not really. I don't think shes ready. I'll ask her when she gets over it."
"Good idea. Well I had a good time. It's nice to hang out with Hermione and…,"Blaise hesitated for a second," …and you."
"What about Luna?"
"Oh…uh yeah. Her to."Blaise looked around nerviously.
"Blaise…"
"WHAT?" He tried to look innocent.
"Do you like Luna?"
"WHA-..NO…I MEAN…MAYBE….ok maybe a little bit,"Blaise looked at Draco's smirking face,"Okay fine...a lot."Draco laughed at Zabini's confession and patted him on the back.
"Well, good luck then. See ya on Monday!"
"See ya."Blaise walked to his neon orange car and got did the same and both boys sped of,trying to see who could get to the football field the was an old tradition. =D
