CHAPTER 7- Wrackspurts and Ginny Weasley

They both rearranged themselves with her, smiling contentedly as her eyes shines with pure excitement. She really had a great time. For Luna, she have always believed that it doesn't matter how expensive or elegant a place or a gift is, it matters on how special and heartfelt they would be. She decided that she would never forget about her first 'date' no matter how elegant the upcoming ones could, and she appreciates the way Draco didn't spend his fortune mindlessly just for her. She likes how she had been happy and so was Draco, she can see it in his eyes that for once, he forgot about what he had been crying about and also, in her part, she forgot about her loneliness.

"What does your first date felt like?" Luna asks curiously. She knows that she wasn't his very first ever date. He was the Slytherin prince for Merlin's sake! She even sees her housemates swooning over him and she had heard that almost all of those Slytherin girls brags about being a 'guest' in Draco Malfoy's bed. Her friends hated him, but she knows deep inside they have had those times where they get attracted with Draco Malfoy's handsome face. But then, she doesn't know why people only likes his face -and well, she cannot deny that his body is also attractive- but his inner core is also beautiful, the true Draco Malfoy who is young and free makes her curious.

Curiosity never ends up good.

"I brought Pansy to this fancy place in Paris. Nothing much." She watched him as he shrugged his shoulders like the event wasn't important at all.

"I think every 'first' is important. We couldn't forget that tingly, fuzzy feeling inside our stomach" She was thankful that he made her feel those. It was beautiful and fun. It was like having wrackspurts all over again, well, except that the wrackspurts were in her stomach this time. Maybe there was a creature doing those feelings? Or maybe the wrackspurts learned how to do that?. She hopes that it wouldn't make anything bad, the feeling feels so beautiful and she wouldn't mind having them for a really long time.

She tried to remember anything about creatures who can make people feel those things, tried to remember if she ever did read about them or if her parents did ever talked about them.

Maybe she has to ask Ginny. Or maybe Hermione.

But Hermione would make a fuzz over it and would probably scold her. And Ginny? Well, she would stare at her in disbelief.

Or maybe the right person to ask is Draco.

"Draco?" She was sure she haven't felt any kind of fuzz over someone before.

Draco looked at her. The afternoon sun gave light unto the back of his head, his silver strands turned gold and his face appeared more chiseled.

Way back when that time that Draco was being such a snob to everyone including her, she always knew that he was nice. He was only scared and was afraid of any kind of attachment towards anybody. She had always wondered why almost everybody begs to be close to him. But-

"What?" Draco found her zoning out unto his face, he rolled his eyes and smirked at her obvious staring.

Luna guessed that was probably it. He is wise and clever, but he likes to be underestimated. He knew that people wanted to get close to him just because he is handsome and wealthy. Maybe that's why he never liked anyone touching him or getting close to him, it wasn't like he is cold hearted, but he is also a human being. He needed and craved to be loved for who he is.

"Did you had a great time with me?" She wanted him to feel the same way as she did. It was unfair on how everybody would think badly of Draco Malfoy when the truth is written all over his eyes if one would take time to understand him. He is just afraid.

"You're crazy Lovegood" And there he is, dodging her question. Maybe he doesn't want to hurt her feelings so instead he didn't tell her the truth and he didn't lie either. She doesn't understand why though, it will surely be okay if he would put it to her bluntly.

"I get that alot" she said in a sing song voice. He was keeping something from her, and she can feel it. But then, she can also feel that he is still not ready over something.

But what could it be?

"Strangely, I did"

Oh

Oh, alright

She hummed, her feet turned a bit energetic and her mood brightened. She is successful after all! Draco actually thinks of her as a friend! Draco never stopped surprising her every single day, and for that, a rapid beating from her heart emphasizes her excitement.

He tilted his head and winked at her playfully, automatically, her lips formed into a smile as the crazy wrackspurt-liked creatures had circled in her stomach all over again.

"Ginny, can I share a secret with you?" It was Monday when she finally had the chance to invite Ginny alone in the library. She thought about it and she was sure that her friends were only concerned about her if they would react against the wrackspurts inside her tummy. But then, she would still keep it to herself and to Ginny, since she was probably the very first person who would ever accept her without second thoughts. Hopefully, it would be their little secret.

Luna took a deep breath and just before she can even explain, Ginny beat her into it.

"This is about the Ferret boy" Ginny indeed, knows her too well. At first, she thought about dodging it, but then, she doesn't like keeping secrets from her friends. It made her feel guilty and sad, and they haven't done anything bad to make her do that to them.

"Oh Merlin Luna. Don't tell me you have a crush on Malfoy" Luna shrugged, completely bewildered from the aspects of experiencing a so called 'love' life.

"Really? Whenever you see that cockroach, you actually feel those weird feelings inside your stomach? and when you would see 'it', your day suddenly gets brighter and happier that no amount of Professor Snape could destroy your happy rainbow vibes?. You actually think about his happiness? Wait, you can really describe the ferret as beautiful and things like that? Oh sweet mother of Merlin"

"You have a crush on Draco. On Draco Malfoy. Seriously Luna? Why him?" she shrugged again.

"You have a crush on Blaise Zabini. Why him?"

At first, the two bestfriends only eyed each other with a clever smile on their faces. Then, nobody knew who started but the two were laughing quietly on their table. Staring at each other in disbelief.

"Gosh we're so screwed up" Ginny swatted her hair away and rolled her eyes.

Is it true that she has this overpowering feelings for him?. Would that affect their friendship?. Is it possible that he could have this crush on her too?. It doesn't seem so real to her. One minute she never thought about having some feelings over someone, and now she is considering that she likes having a crush?

Right now, she doesn't want to think about it that much.

"I wonder if there is such a creature that can make my stomach go fuzzy"

"There is Luna, it is called a crush"

Oh, Luna likes him now. Do you think this story is sort of rushed?. I hope it doesn't.
