Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley were sitting alone in a compartment on the Hogwarts express, Luna leaning on Ginny and Ginny with her arm around Luna. They were sitting, quite comfortably, when the compartment door slid open and Draco Malfoy stepped in.
"Can we help you?" Ginny asked sharply.
Draco looked up and noticed that there were people here, something he obviously didn't expect.
"It's just, the door was closed, and that usually means the compartment is full." Luna added, ice in her voice. It was tradition for the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws to join up against Slytherin, and since Draco was Head Boy, and the girls were Prefects, they saw no need to tamper with tradition.
Draco put on his usually sneer.
"Are you guys going out or something?" He spat.
"Don't be prat, Malfoy, her father's just died." Ginny responded. Luna looked at the floor.
"Well, it could be worse. She could have your dad. I heard your mother's gone into some sort of cleaning service to help the family eat. Is your father that much of a failure, Weasley?"
"You know very well that she has opened her own House Elf service; the house elves do the work, she just arranges everything. You also know that it's been very successful. And what about your dad, Malfoy, where is he?" Ginny smiled.
"Azkaban!" Luna answered. "Because he was too incompetent at hiding that he was a Death Eater, and no amount of money is getting him out in this life."
Draco turned and left, he didn't know what to say to that. He was glad that his father was gone. Now he had some privacy, and some peace. More importantly, he was now Master Malfoy and had access to the Family vault as soon as he was out of Hogwarts. He walked down the compartment and found Pansy, who jumped on him and started giggling.
"Why did you tell him my father just died?" Luna asked after Malfoy had gone. "He's been dead for two months."
"He doesn't know that. Besides, you know how much everyone at school likes to gossip. The whole world would think that we're lovers just because I have my arm around you." Ginny explained.
"But we are."
Luna kissed Ginny softly on the lips, savoring the moment of peace they had together.
