Chapter 23
Draco woke up. It was Monday. It shouldn't have been anything special. But it was. The dance was on Saturday. Starting at 7:30 PM. And he was going to be nice. Starting today. He didn't feel nice.
Climbing out of bed with a yawn, he dressed and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. His eyes skimmed over to the Ravenclaw table. Luna was there. And Harry was....................of course, as he should be, at the Gryffindor table.........................wait, he wasn't there..................maybe he slept in?............................yes, that had to be it..................unless he was..........................no, he couldn't be!....................he wouldn't be...............he had better not be......................................he was....................................TALKING TO LUNA?!!!!!!!!
Draco put a mask like grim death on and stormed across to the Slytherin table. He sat down on the bench and ate his breakfast savagely. He heard Harry's voice. IN HIS EAR!!!! He heard Luna giggle. WHY DID THE BLOODY TABLES HAVE TO BE SO BLOODY CLOSE TOGETHER?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Good Morning, Sunshine! ~ He heard Luna practically sing in his mind.
~Ugh. ~
She laughed. ~Tired? ~
~Nah. You and Harry official? ~
~Guess so. He's SOOO funny! And he's so nice! We have a date scheduled for the next Hogsmeade trip! It's going to be so romantic! Harry knows a really nice lookout place, he says! It'll be great. ~
Draco could feel his teeth grinding. There it was again. Nice. He could feel his eye twitching. ~Nice? What do you mean by that? ~
~Oh, he's so heroic! And he's humble! And he thinks of others, too. AND he had a very kind attitude towards everyone! He's so........so......perfect! ~ She sighed happily.
Draco scowled into his pumpkin juice. ~And he's also a bratty little fag who belongs in a pin museum! ~
~Don't be like that! He's my boyfriend, and I love him. ~
Draco gritted his teeth until they ached. The second-year sitting next to him got up and ran away. She LOVED him?!!!!!!!!!!!!! FRIEND he could take. LIKE he could take. LOVE was WAY over the edge!
~Humph. ~ He muttered.
He felt happiness blossom from Luna, and turned around in time to see Harry plant a kiss on her cheek. Steam came out of his ears. He vowed NEVER to look at them again. ~For goodness sakes! You're in public, woman! Lay off on the snogging!!! ~
Luna sniffed. ~We are not snogging. We will be, maybe later, but not now. ~
Draco fumed as Harry held Luna's hand and they walked out of the Great Hall.
"Draco?"
The whiney irritating voice made Draco wince and clench his hands. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and turned. "YES?!!!!!!!!!"
Pansy stood behind him, her usual simpering expression on her face. She pursed her lips. "No need to be so snappy, darling."
Draco almost choked. Darling?
"Well?" She demanded, tapping her foot impatiently.
"Well what?"
"Aren't you going to ask me to the dance?"
Draco threw up his hands mentally. This was the last thing he needed! Get it over with, he told himself.
"Pansy, will you go to the dance with me?"
Her smile widened. "But of course, my darling."
Draco smiled politely, and then shot up the stairs as fast as he could. "ARGH!! SHIT!!!!" This was THE last thing he wanted. What was he supposed to do? As Luna had explained, women had incredible powers of bitching, and if any man offended them, they would not hesitate to use them! What was he supposed to do? Tell Pansy he didn't want to go with her? Not a good idea. Even the dumbest of men knew that much. Maybe Luna would know. He nearly hit himself. OF COURSE Luna would know what to do! She was a girl!
~Luna! ~ He called. Maybe he was interrupting her kiss. Maybe not. He hoped he was. He hated Harry. Sick little bastard.
~What? ~ Her reply was fuzzy. She sounded distracted. Good. He was interrupting.
~I just asked Pansy to the dance...........~
~WHAT?! I mean, good for you. What did she say? ~ There was a sudden flash of emotion from Luna, quickly squashed, but Draco recognized it. Jealousy. Luna was jealous?!! An evil smile appeared on his lips. He changed his tone.
~ Yeah. She said she'd go isn't that great? ~
~Uh huh. Got to go. Bye. Harry and I are going to class. ~ Luna ended the conversation. She was very likely stalking down the halls at this moment, dragging Harry with her. Maybe she was using her incredible powers of bitching. Draco almost pitied Harry.
Draco whistled softly. She was mad. She was jealous. Why? Because he asked Pansy? Well if she didn't want him to go with Pansy, she shouldn't have gone with Harry.
Revenge was sweet. But it wasn't. It was bitter. It wasn't fair. He was doing the same to Luna as she was doing to him, and he felt bad, and she had all the fun. He decided he would never understand women. They made a man's life hell.
Shaking his head, Draco went to class.

"Oh, Harry! It's beautiful!" Luna gasped.
He turned around to look at her. "Isn't it? But not nearly as beautiful as you."
Luna smiled, and rested her head on his shoulder. Her cloak billowed behind her in the wind, and she should have been cold. But she wasn't.
Sitting behind Harry on his Firebolt, flying over the frozen lake, she was far too peaceful and content to notice. She felt happy and peaceful. Everything was perfect. Well, almost everything.
That Draco! ARGH! He made her want to scream! Why did he ask Pansy? Anger roiled inside of her, but she forced it down. She didn't love him, remember? He was her FRIEND. Nothing more. Harry was her boyfriend, and she should be thinking about him. She could think about Draco later.
Poor little Harry. He had no idea. Poor little Draco. He had no idea either. Men never knew anything. They were far too dumb. She smiled to herself.
The Firebolt soared over the lake, and Luna planned her revenge for Draco.
