A/N : I just wanna get this story finished and start a new one, since this is my first I really suck! And I think I sound like a 3rd grader.

'speaking'

Chapter 4

...................

Luna and Ginny sat near the back of the library trying to concentrate on their homework.When Ginny finally finished, she decided to look up on the leaves that Malfoy had dropped.

Ginny searched for books on leaves and plants. She came a cross a little green leather book, embossed in gold letters read the author's name 'Seanffuer Elmanus' but it had no title. Ginny took the book and sat down next to Luna and started reading.

.................

Now you might've thought that Draco's excuse to dump Pansy was really lame, but what can a Slytherin say? He couldn't say that Pansy was using him for fame as his girlfriend, because he was well.second best after Harry Potter. No, he would sound like a .a.Gryffindor! And how he hated Gryffindors and Harry Potter. Harry Potter the boy who lived, the boy who never lost in Quidditch, the one the only, Harry Potter.

Sure, Draco had girls that looked at him, giggled whenever he walked passed. He was sly, cunning, handsome, and tall (unlike the other Slytherins) and others think - 'a hottie'. But to him, he was always second compared to Potter.

Potter had loyal friends, ones that he could trust , REALLY trust. He had the trust from teachers. He was famous. He was best at Quidditch in school. He had a pretty redhead that followed him and practically idolized him. But to Draco, that little pretty redhead was just another annoying Weasley that constantly had nothing to do other than follow after her brother's friends.

But one thing that Draco did not see was that they, both, were very similar. Both were handsome, 'rich', famous, smart and other than the fact that one was on the dark side, and the other was not, they were very much alike. They could have been friends, possibly. It would be a likely story if that ever happened. . Maybe it can.

.............

The four Slytherin Boys entered the library. They sat only two tables apart from Luna and Ginny, of course chosen by Blaise.

Blaise had his feet up on the table with his hands behind his resting head, leaning back on his chair with only two back legs on the ground. He had a clear view of Luna. He stared at Luna, trying to burn two holes at her forehead, which was the only part of her face that wasn't buried in the book.

Feeling two holes burning on her forehead, Luna looked up to only meet a pair of blue eyes. She smiled, making Blaise to chuckle and shake his head , putting his feet back down. No girls had ever made Blaise feel this way, Luna was the only one who could ever make Blaise laugh at a simple smile coming from her mouth.

'What?' asked Draco, looking up from his potions homework. 'what's so funny?'

' I was just wondering if you've decided on who to go to the Ball with.' Answered Blaise with a sparkle in his eyes.

' No, I've just dumped Pansy a few moments ago, and that isn't enough time to have even think about who.' Snapped Draco.

' Well, I was just wondering, cause, ya know, we-' Blaise pointed at himself, Crabbe and Golye ' have already got dates.'

'Really? I'm just wondering who would go with any one of you idiots (not meaning any of which he said)' Draco said casually still writing his homework.

'I'm going with Luna' Blaise answered, ignoring Draco's last remark.

'Veronica Sded' Goyle answered.

' You think that I would care that Veronica's dead, whoever she is' Draco snapped. ' I was asking who you're going to the ball with'.

V-E-R-O-N-I-C-A S-D-E-D wrote Goyle passing the piece of parchment to Draco, red in the face trying to hold his laugh.

'Veronica Sded' Blaise said between laughs. ' Not Veronica's dead!'

' Well I wouldn't blame anyone thinking that, when they hear her name!' replied Draco, furious with his mistake.

' I-I'm going w-with her cousin Lorissa Z-Zadogg' replied Crabbe, laughing.

'Now I wonder how they became a family. One's dead, the other is a dog!' Draco said, trying to concentrate on his homework listening to his friends laugh.
