Eating The moon
Disclaimer: I don't own Draco (But I want to) and I don't own the other characters from Harr… yeah, whatever. WARNING!: SS/RL and possible DM/HP, just expect slash!
Draco was sitting up in the astronomy tower pondering. He did that a lot. He'd go up there, because at night no one else went up there, and pondered. Lighting incense and candles to keep his head clear, opening up the window to invite in the world. Yes, Draco was a tree hugging, whale saving, anti-war hippie.
Glancing out the widow and looking towards the moon, the stars, looking anywhere except earth. Earth was chaos. Draco hated chaos, he liked peace. He didn't mind mess, in fact he preferred to order, but war was chaos and he hated war. The incense tickled his nose.
"Why can't people live together, as one, and stop trying to gain power." he closed his eyes and slowly breathed in the earth. Pre-sleep meditation. This is what he did every night.
"There is so much bad karma in this school. It blocks my oneness and throws of the balance." There was only two persons in the whole school who'd listen to Draco.
"I can't take it Severus! I can barely breath with all this negative energy around me! It flows from their pores and tries to get into me!" Severus and Remus sighed and nodded.
"I know, but you can't lose yourself in their negativity. You must stay balanced with in yourself." Sev smiled and added: "It helps if you go bare foot. Makes you feel less confined." Draco pulled up his robes a bit to reveal two naked feet. They were half covered by earth-brown pants, and that was toped off with an old save the Whales t-shirt.
"Lucius said it would help too. Mummy suggested fully letting the body be free, but I didn't think the school would appreciate it." Snape and Lupin laughed.
"How are Lucius and Narcissa? Still in the rainforest?" Asked Lupin.
"Na, Dad's working on a 'Stop the War' protest. That should shock the whole wizard community! And mum is doing pottery. Again." Snape frowned.
"But what about the whole 'Family image' thing. Aren't you still Pro-war, evil bastards?" Draco laughed and replied:
"Lucius says the Malfoy's always surprise the public. And lately they haven't. Besides, everyone will still hate us, just for different reasons."
"What reasons?"
"People believe if you're not on their side that you're on the other. Both sides will believe we're against them. And people hate anyone who is different from them or threatens what they believe. That's me. Or us. But everything is one. That is we?" Lupin shook his head, thinking.
"No… That's just like us. But 'us' or 'we' could signify that you mean one. One as in us. Ta-da!" Lupin giggled and snuggled against Snape. "What do you think Sevvie?"
"I think you are too cute!" and with that he kissed Remus on the tip of his nose. The other man giggled again. The whole scene was a bit much for Draco.
"You two are so in love it blocks out all the bad karma from everyone else. I'm not sure which one I like less!"
"Aww, is poor little Draco jealous? Does he need a little lurve in his life?" Severus said as he pulled Remus on to his lap.
"I gotta go to class. Could I borrow you 'Grateful Dead' cd?" Draco looked at Snape and Remus. He wasn't jealous, quite the opposite. He was glad they had found each other. Snape and Lupin were soul mates. They were really balanced and extremely happy with each other. He just wished one day he could be too. (awww, Poor Drwaco!)
"Which one?" Draco shrugged and shifted through Snape's records and CD's until he found one with songs he liked. Putting on his head phones he walked out, giving the peace sign to Lupin and Severus. They gave him the peace sign back.
Draco hated Hagrids class. He loved animals, he helped save many endangered species, but he hated the class. He had nothing against Hagrid. "I don't judge people, man." But he did have something against capturing animals against their own will and putting them on display. Like a zoo. "Zoo's are wrong, man." Draco only believed in animals living in their natural habitats or on reserves.
"To we 're gonna take a look at Knarls. Knarls look a lot like animals which muggles call 'hedgehogs'. Knarls don't take food, the best way to pick them up is to snatch them from behind. They won't bite unless you feed it or ye threaten it." All eyes turned to Draco who had a scowl on his face.
"What?" he snapped. He didn't like the idea of "Snatching" anything from behind. Hagrid continued.
"Also, Knarls hate the color black." (I made that part up!) everyone in the class looked down at their robes. " So you all need 'ta take off yer robe. Hopefully ya 'ave something on underneath!"
The wizard dress was not too unlike muggle clothing, except since they had robes wizards didn't care what their clothes looked like. Most wizards wore a pair of cloth pants with a matching shirt. The pants and shirt either advertised a quidditich team or the school you went to and if you went to Hogwarts, your house. No wizard had ever had a 'Save the Whales' shirt, unless of course they were a bit muggle, or were hippies. However, at Hogwarts, the students had uniforms. So what I just went through was meaningless. Each house (as the reader should know) has it's own distinctive color. So their uniforms were made with material of the student's house's colors.
Everyone happily discarded their robes and began snatching up Knarls. Everyone except Draco.
"Draco, ye need ter take off yer robe! Er else I hafta give ya a zero in the class!" Draco scowled and replied:
"I refuse!" and he crossed his arms over his chest. The Gryffindors all sneered at Draco. The Slytherins were proud.
"What, are you naked under there Malfoy?" It was the taunting voice of Ron Weasely. The Gryffindors laughed.
"Malfoy's in the nude! He doesn't wear anything under his robes. Malfoy's in the nude!" Sang Seamus, dancing around the crowd which had gathered around our poor hero.
"Only my feet!" everyone looked at Draco in a queer manner. The confusion sinks in.
"Feet?! Malfoy, why won't you take off your bloody robes? You must be hiding something under there! Is your Dark Mark showing?" It was Ron again. And what he said made Draco change his mind.
"Fine! You want me to take off my robes, I will!" With that said, he did. All the students, both Slytherin and Gryffindor alike, stood there shocked. They were clearly thrown by his attire.
"See! I'm not in the nude, just my feet!" Draco proceeded to pull up his pants a bit and wriggle his feet. "And even though I took off my robes, I refuse to have anything to do with this!" Hermione looked at Draco in a puzzled manner.
"Won't have to do with what?" She inquired.
"I won't have anything to do with taking animals form their natural habitat, against their will, and putting them on display for a bunch of oversized toddlers. It's wrong." Everyone was thrown by this. 'But Malfoy is supposed to like everything that causes something else pain! What's up with this!?' There was only one valid explanation… "Draco's a Hippie and everything we thought about him was wrong." So of course no one thought that. They jumped to the most extreme idea, which was voiced through the one and only Ronald Weasely.
"He is a death eater pretending to be a Hippie! He'll make everyone anti-war, flower sniffing, peaceful pansies and while we are all having orgies and smoking the weed… BAM! You-Know-Who will come in with his not so peaceful troops, lead by Malfoy who is suddenly a Pro-war-Hitler-Stalin-Mussolini-wanna-be! And we'll be caught by surprise and they'll remove our bowels and EAT them, and they'll have super bowels and take over the world and we'll DIE!" And everyone nodded in agreement.
"No, I don't believe in wars." Ron did a dramatic jump and pointed at our hero.
"SEE! He is already trying to brain wash us with anti-war CRAP! Don't listen, war is good, kill people, war is goooood!"
"Ew, you need to work on you inner peace and oneness."
"What the hell are you talking about Pretending-to-be-a-hippie-not-so-anti-war-Malfoy!" Draco scratched his head and started to walk away. And as he did he gave them the peace sign and said:
"Don't be so up-tight man! You're throwing off my balance more than usual. The rest of you, stay groovy!"
At Lunch: Draco decides to go visit Snape.
"Sevvie, guess what!"
"I despise guessing games Draco." Snape was busy bottling potions for Lupin. "I'm busy bottling potions for Remmy, can this wait?"
"Everyone knows… Sort of. They threw everything way out of proportion! They all think I'm working for dear old Voldie and only pretending. I don't know what to do now! Should I keep up the old Malfoy façade and say it was a joke or just be me. Just being me could help me keep my oneness, but they all think it's an act to brainwash them till they are having orgies and smoking the weed. I personally don't do either… You do both… So I'll still be getting all their negative vibes."
"What are you talking about?" Snape looked utterly confused "And what was that about orgies and who has the weed?" Draco laughed.
"No, no. See, in Hagrid'd class today…" Draco told Snape the whole story. "….and now the whole school thinks I am out to get them."
"Ah. I think you need to do some meditation on the matter."
"Good idea. I have Divination next and there is always incense burning in there. Plus we never learn anything, so it's not like I'll miss anything, in fact I'd get more out of meditation then out of her class…. I'm rambling, aren't I?"
"Yes."
"Sorry, I was just losing the oneness with me. Becoming unsure. You know how it is." Snape smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, but when ever that happens to me I just get high. That takes my mind off things." Dray laughed.
"It's a wonder you ever conformed enough to hold a job like this!" Snape glared at him.
"Who are you saying conformed. I just got offered the job and went with the flow."
"Yeah, for eleven years. You conformed man." Snape scowled as Draco smirked.
"You're doing this on purpose! Well, Draco, I'll have you know I won't get mad. I'm going to go see Remus, he knows I haven't conformed!" and he turned to go. "And that wasn't very peaceful of you, trying to make war with me."
"Hey, you know I was just playing with your mind! Any way, now that the whole school knows any-who, I'll think protest Quidditch. Sports are like war promoters, and like mini-wars."
"Yeah, I know! It's no wonder this generation wants to bash each others heads in! If you need any help, Remus and I are always willing to protest for a good cause!" and with that Snape left for his lover and Draco left for Divination.
IN DIVINATION:
The students hated Prof. Trelawney. In fact they disliked her and the class so much that many of them dropped and several of them were kicked out for not having the "Gift". Because of that all the houses were put into one class. Even though their weren't a lot of students from each class, there were still a lot in the small room and it was very crowded.
The only seat left for Draco was one at the table Ron, Harry, Seamus and Dean. He walked over and sat on last of the five over stuffed chairs. He pulled up his legs so he was sitting cross legged and closed his eyes, letting the incense and peace take over his senses.
"What do you think you're doing!?" Ron hissed. Draco didn't respond. "Hey, I was talking to you, Malfoy! You can't fool me." Ron glared at him, then turned to the others and shrugged.
"Maybe he is dead." Dean suggested.
"Hopefully he's dead!" laughed Seamus. They all laughed briefly. Harry reached over and poked Draco. Draco peeked open one eye.
"You're interrupting my meditation."
"Oh, we are so sorry, Lord Draco! We bow to you, we will no longer speak in-"
"What are you rambling on about, Weasel? Bow to me? Do you believe you are lower than me?" Ron was baffled. As were his friends.
"But you always go on and on… Don't give me all that shit! You think you're better than me! You've basically told me a million times!"
"Oh. Well I believe that everyone is equal. Not one person can claim they are better than anyone else. You are only as good as your self. That is why I strive for inner peace and balance." Harry tilted his head a bit.
"Inner peace? Inner Balance… what is that?" And Draco thought: 'Aww, he looks so cute. But what should I expect, he is always cute!' and he said:
"You're too cute Harry Potter! Inner peace is when you understand yourself completely and nothing around you, like material items, matters. Once you find inner peace you can find outer peace too, and become one with everything."
"Did you just say I was cute?" Harry looked very lost and confused.
"I keep no secrets, I am open to the world. Yes, I think you are cute. Now, please, I was trying to meditate." Ron was furious.
"Stop hitting on Harry, you hippie fag-thing." he turned to Seam and Dean and cautioned: "Next he'll be trying to make us all have a giant gay orgy!"
"REALLY!!!!!" Seamus looked thrilled.
"No, you idiot, that's a bad thing! He is trying to brain wash us, remember?!" Dean corrected his friend.
"No orgy?" Seamus asked sheepishly.
"No."
"Oh, okay." And by this time one might wonder "What kind of class is this! And Where is the teacher?" There is one simple answer to that… "Just because!!!" And this is the end of this scene.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Authors note: That was the first chapter!!!!! I hope you all liked it! It is sort of how I feel about the war going on now. If you a free-loving hippie type person, and I offended you, I'm sorry. All the thoughts that were spewed from Draco, Snape and Lupin's mouths were all my ideas. I don't smoke weed and I don't involve myself in orgies.
COMING SOON! CHAPTER TWO: OF PROTESTS AND LOVE!
In that chapter Draco, Snape and Lupin will protest against organized sports and Harry and Draco find out they are soul mates.
Lucius and Narcissa will make an appearance too!!!!!
