I own nothing. Mentions of child abuse and small amounts of some sexy time. Review and enjoy!

"Lu-Luna," Draco said sitting across from me, "I-I'm so-sorry I-I'm la-late."

"It's alright, Draco," I said smiling softly, "How are you this fine rainy day, my blond friend?"

Draco smiled back slightly before looking around. It was almost like he had something to say, but he didn't want anyone to hear. What did he want to tell me that was a secret?

Anyone could see how much Draco had changed from who he was before. He was coming into himself once more. I couldn't wait to see who the true Draco Malfoy was. I knew we'd be best friends soon.

"I…I do-don't kn-know w-who I-I a-am," Draco said looking at the table.

"Then we'll find out," I said happily, "We'll start with the basics. What's your favorite color?"

"Si-Silver."

"Favorite class?"

"Trans-Transfig-Transfiguration."

"Favorite book?"

"I-I've on-only real-really re-read sc-school boo-books."

I stared at Draco for a moment before offering him my hand. Draco looked scared for a moment but put his hand shakily in mine anyway. Seemed like he was a trusting person. Not always a good thing.

Trusting people wasn't always a good thing. It seemed like he was naïve in that sense. He had been hurt so badly, anyone could see that, but it seemed like he still had that childishness about him.

The man before me wasn't a Slytherin. That I was sure of. I wouldn't be surprised if he was supposed to be a Hufflepuff. That seemed to make more sense then anything else.

I needed to help Draco find himself. That had to be why he came to me. We weren't friends, but everyone loved to think how 'weird' I was. I didn't see it, but if anyone could help the boy it would be me.

"Here we are," I said when we got to the library, "I'm sure there are some books in here you'd like to read. What type of stories do you like?"

"I…I do-don't kn-know," Draco said looking at the floor.

"Well, let's figure it out. We should do a Classic. Do you mind if it's Muggle or not?"

"N-No."

"Would you like something romantic?"

"Y-Yes."

"Would you like something with Magical Creatures?"

"Y-Yes."

I held back a sigh a I listened to Draco. He didn't seem like he wanted to say anything more then one word answers and that his stuttering was frustrating him, but he needed to do this.

There had to be something that would make him talk. I just had no idea what would interest Draco. I couldn't even begin to guess which was something that was new to me.

"How about a book on Faeries?" I said picking out on from the Muggle book collection.

Draco shakily took the book from me and started to flip through it. A soft smile came to his lips before he nodded his head. Smiling back I picked up the next two books in the series and lead him to Madam Pince.

"We'd like to take these books," I said smiling.

Madam Pince looked between Draco and I before waving her wand. The books glowed softly for a moment before fading. Madam Pince let us go a moment later knowing that the books would be returned.

Leaving the library we went walking through the castle until we stopped at the Boat House. Draco looked around once more for people before a sad sigh fell from his lips.

"It's okay, Draco," I said rubbing his back gently, "You'll figure it out."

"I-I'll lo-lose the-them," Draco said sadly.

"Draco, do you think I'm weird?"

"N-Not real-really. J-Just un-unique."

A smile came to my lips when he said that. I was so used to be told that I was odd or 'Loony' that I expected everyone to say that to me by now, but Draco was an unique person himself.

Draco was a good person. There was no doubt about that. I just had to get him to see that. I had to get him to see a lot of things about himself, but I knew that I could do it. It would just take some time. How much time did Draco have though?

"You believe in Nargles?" I asked randomly.

"Y-Yes," Draco said with a blush.

The more I talked with Draco the more I couldn't help but want to know the real him. So far, I could tell that he was a bit like me. He just seemed a little ashamed about being different.

He had been raised in a totally different world then I had. I wanted to know what his life had been like, but from the fear that crept into his eyes sometimes I doubted I wanted to know.

After a moment of silence we started to walk around once more. Draco seemed to loosen up a bit. He was still stuttering a lot, but he had stopped just giving me one word answers.

Draco didn't seem to really know a lot about the world. He really did come from a sheltered life. Whether it was from being overprotected by family or what I wasn't sure of yet.

"You're dating Neville?" I asked as we walked towards the Potions Lab.

"Y-Yes," Draco said with a smile, "I-I lo-love h-him."

"Awe. That's so cute. Does he know?"

"I…I do-don't kn-know. Sh-Should I-I t-tell hi-him?"

"When you're ready. You can't rush these things."

"I-I'm no-not v-very pat-patient."

I couldn't help but laugh at that. That seemed like one thing that hadn't changed over the summer. Well, I was laughing because of that and the pout that seemed to appear on his lips.

Before I could say anything else a smile came to Draco's lips. Spinning around I looked behind me and saw Neville standing there with another Gryffindor that I didn't recognize.

He looked like he was having fun talking to the girl. I knew that Neville wasn't really good with talking to people, but the second he was your friend you truly had a best friend for life.

Draco seemed like that as well. Okay, so he seemed like the type of guy that was either your best friend or your best enemy, but sometimes that what a person needs in their life.

There had to be some way to get Draco to see all that he was. Maybe if I could do that he would stop stuttering all together. He would also lose that fear that was held within him.

"I-I lo-love hi-him," Draco said softly.

Looking back at Draco I saw that he had this far away look in his eyes. It was almost like he was dreaming of the future. I wonder what type of future the two of them would have together?

It would be lovely if they were professor's at Hogwarts. Neville was excellent at Herbology and Draco did say he loved Transfiguration. They could be the couple that taught at Hogwarts.

Oh the life that the two of them were going to lead. What about kids though? Did both of them want kids? I think they'd make wonderful parents. At least, they would if they got their confidence back.

Draco wasn't confident about anything and Neville only seemed confident about Draco. What a pair the two of them were. They really were a good couple though. One that would last.

As I looked back and Neville I saw that his eyes had locked onto Draco. The conversation he was having seemed to mean nothing as he excused himself and went over to the boy.

There was a content smile on Draco's lips as he let Neville link their hand together. The two of them were just so cute together! Yes, I knew that they were going to make a wonderful family one day.

"Hi," Neville said kissing Draco's lips, "How has your day mean?"

"Go-Good," Draco said resting his head on Neville's chest, "L-Luna an-and I-I we-went t-to t-the lib-library."

"That's wonderful. Hey, Luna, did you know Draco here can draw? Really he's an amazing artist."

As Neville continued to gush over how amazing of an artist Draco was I realized something else. Neville was just as much in love with Draco and Draco was in love with him.

It was lovely to see just how sweet and beautiful the two of them were together. I couldn't wait to see how everything was going to work out as Draco came into himself this year.

"You'll have to show me your art work sometime, Draco," I said smiling, "Maybe you can help me draw a Nargle."
