After storming out of the library, Draco Malfoy ended up heading to the Great Lake, sitting under a tree. He looked out at the lake before lowering his gaze to the book he had in hand. He just grabbed the book from under little Luna Lovegood's nose, and left with it. Telling Crabbe and Goyle to head back to the dungeon while he went to the lake to at least try and read the book. What happened went a little something like this…
" Now, I want you two to go back to the dungeon, I have something to take care of first…" Draco said to the two boys.
"You sure, Draco?" Goyle then asked. Draco just glared at then, which then made the two freeze and run back to the dungeon.
"Hmp… Idiots" Draco said to himself, as he walked towards the Great Lake.
Now we're back with Draco, who is still staring at the book on his lap. He lifted it up close to his face and looked at it from front to back. He scoffed and started to flip through some pages.
"Might as well see what's so fascinating about this thing…" With that being said, Draco opened the book and read the first page.
It has the same information that was read by Luna. A brief description of the founders, and then starts with a chapter on Godric's sword, and soon following Helga's. But Draco would often comment with some nasty things such as…
"I doubt Gryffindor even deserves a sword … as brave as they say they are, there aren't really the sharpest tools in the shed"
Or with Helga's cup…
"Ha! This has got to be a joke, who in their right mind would have a cup as a their relic. Apparently she does! Hufflepuffs are just too good for their own kind" Draco smirked to himself. He then turned the page to the next chapter.
"Diadem of Ravenclaw? This must be why Lovegood was smiling when we saw her…" Draco said. Before going up to Luna and taking her book. He and his cronies walked in to look for a place to hang out for a while. But Draco then saw Luna smiling and was curious as to why. As Draco turned the page, he was surprised to see it empty with information, besides that one page that say it was missing.
"Wonder where the rest of the pages are…" Draco was not as surprised and as worry some as Luna about the pages missing. But since she was a Ravenclaw, he could understand why she would feel that way.
"Aha, now here is a chapter to get all excited about" Turning that page, Draco now reached the chapter on the Slytherin Locket, a locket that belonged to his house's founder, Salazar Slytherin. When he turned the page to read it, his expression soon changed into how Luna felt about the pages in the diadem chapter.
"Huh? Where the hell is it?" Draco asked. Similar to the chapter on the diadem, at least 3 or 4 pages worth of information were missing.
"Great, now this book is completely useless, not just one but two informations on the house relics are missing…" Draco just placed the book on the grass and looked out at the water.
"... Might as well bring it back to Lovegood, and then tell her this book is now a piece of junk" Draco then stood up, with the book now at hand, and went back up to the school.
After making it to the entrance of the school. Draco went back to the library in order to find Luna but she was no longer there. Knowing she might have gone to the Great hall, he went there to check. Sadly she was not there either. He then went to the Ravenclaw tower and asked a student but he said she was not in the room. He then gave up and headed for his common room when he suddenly bumped into someone. He kept his ground but the one he bumped into fell, butt first.
"Oh, I apologize for not looking where I was going…" the person that fell said. Draco knew that dreamy voice to be Luna Lovegood's.
"There you are Lovegood!" Draco then shoved the book onto her chest.
"Here, you can have it back. It's kind of useless now…" Draco said. Luna held onto the book and looked at him confused.
"How can it be useless? It has the all facts about the relics of the founders-" But then Draco cut in
"Not all of it, Slytherin's is missing" Luna gasped
"Missing? Then that makes the two, because the information of the Diadem of Ravenclaw is missing as well" Draco nodded and shoved his hands into his robe's pockets.
"Yeah so… I suggest just throwing it…" Draco said. Luna glared at him, which Draco has never seen her do before
"How could you throw a book that could have possible written a thousand years ago!?" Luna asked him. Her voice was stern and serious, far from the dreamy and calm voice she usually carried.
"Relax Lovegod, your Ravenclaw is showing" Draco chuckled. Luna then looked at the book in her hand and then at Draco.
"But isn't it strange that only the information on the diadem and locket were taken and not the sword and cup…" Luna commented. Draco just looked at her confused but then nodded in agreement. It was strange for their house relics to lose it's content. If someone wanted information on all the relics, they could have just taken the whole book, but why Slytherin and Ravenclaw.
"I guess you're right… It is strange… But what the heck are we supposed to do about it? Find the missing pages?" Draco asked. Luna then beamed him a smile that both annoys and delights him.
"Of course! What else would we do with something that is missing?" Luna asked
"Uh… Let it stay missing?" Draco said. Luna just sighed and turned to the page of Slytherin.
"At least 3 pages worth of information is missing, just like the diadem chapter… Aren't you curious as to what might have been in those pages? Don't you want to know more about the Locket? Or at least why it was ripped from the book?" Luna kept on asking a lot of questions, just to get Draco intrigued into helping her find the pages.
"Okay okay! I see your point, Lovegood. But even if we do try and find it, where the heck do we start!?" He asked. Luna smiled and turned her back towards him. She then started to walk away from him. Confused, Draco started following her and was now walking at her side.
"Where the heck are you doing?" Draco asked, now annoyed
"To the Ravenclaw common room, of course" Luna replied. Draco then stopped
"So you are going to give up on finding those pages?" He asked. Luna stopped and turned to face him.
"No silly, I'm going to the common room, and ask The Grey Lady" Luna said.
"The Grey Lady? What does she have to do with all of this?" Draco soon walked up to her and followed her to the common room, as she continued to walk.
"Because she's the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of my house. Which is why she is the ghost of my house" Luna replied. Draco nodded, understanding everything now.
"Have I sparked your interest, Draco Malfoy?" Luna looked at him with a smile on her face. Draco then looked at her, and gave her his signature smirk and looked forward.
"You certainly have, Luna Lovegood" The two then walked through the halls and towards the Ravenclaw common room, in order to speak to the Ravenclaw house ghost, The Grey Lady, or as she was known as, Helena Ravenclaw.
