Luna walked out onto the field from the girls locker room. She

tightened her grip on *The Star Shooter*. The *shooter* was a

personally desinged broom that Lucius Malfoy had bought for her as a

betrothal gift. It was black and blue. The handle was redwood stained

blue then stained black over it so it was irridescent in the sun. The

broom end of it was blue and transitioned from dark sea blue to sky

blue. She gazed up into the setting sun, *beautiful coloring* she

thought.....

*Luna! C'mon team meeting!* Draco disrailed her train of thought by

grabbing her arm and running with her towards the bench.

They sat down and Marcus Flint started his monotonous ramblings about

how much he hated Gryffindor and how much Slytherin had to win the

Quidditch Cup this year.

After he finished, the team got up, mounted their brooms, and started

to practice.

Luna's *Star Shooter* was faster than a firebolt, with excellent

handling. She had no problem riding it, or controlling it. He

teammate threw her the quaffle, she caught it, and scored on their

keeper. Marcus grinned, he loved Luna's tactics. She was a nice girl

to certain people off the field, but she knew how to play nasty. She

wasn't afraid to knock the members of the other teams off their

brooms.

Draco, meanwhile, was chasing the snitch as usual. He flew along the

ground close to the Snitch. When he heard the others cheering, he

looked up and saw Luna high-fiving Marcus. No sooner was Marcus away

from her then she started making fun of his teeth. She thought Marcus

was disgusting. Draco turned his attention back to the Snitch and

realized that it was flitting above the stands. He quickly pulled up,

rounded about and caught it. *Potter doesn't stand a chance this

year* he thought.

Janie was the keeper, and she knew the other team's chasers were nota

s good as Luna. Thats why she didn't care if Luna could get the

quaffle past her. She loved it when she deflected it thought. Being

Luna's best friend, they always had new ideas. Luna would have made a

great keeper if she hadn't had such a good throwing arm.\

Madam Hooch blew her whistle.

*Come on in now Slytherins! Time to go the great hall for supper!*

The team floated towards the ground and ran to their seperate locker

rooms.

*Great job today Janie, you got it past me more than usual* Luna

said, hugging Janie tight.

*Thanks BFF!* Janie squealed. *Were going to have a great season this

year!*

Both girls walked back to castle. Halfway there, Draco caught up with

them and put an arm around Luna.

*Great job love!* He exclaimed. He also kissed Janie's hand. She

rolled her eyes.

* Draco you're such a ladies man* Janie walked ahead and caught up

with Oliver Wood of Gryffindor.

*Whats she doing with him?* Draco asked.

*She's been seeing him all summer, she wrote it in her letters. They

were both in Paris and he asked her out. The whole thing got started*

Draco looked annoyed.

*What, he's an upper classman and no concern of ours.*

Draco smiled and whispered *At least I don't have to take care of two

girls anymore* He laughed softly.

Luna giggled.

Both took their seats at the table in the great hall.
