Unwanted Angel
By Natalie
Sum: The war ended. Draco was fine, he really was, he was all alone but when had that been a problem? God didn't seem to agree, is this why he sent him this weird angel? A very strange one he couldn't seem to get rid off…DM/LL fluffy.
AN: I think I've put off this story for quite some time now. Well, the reason is because I had to go aboard and I wrote another chapter already but lost it somewhere in my files, so since I can't remember what I wrote, I'm just gonna write anyway because I think the story is very different and original so it'll be a shame if not continued, if even only for a while. Just so you know, how I see Draco is greatly displayed here, apologies to the people who do not agree but hopefully we all agree he's hot so there! This chap is a bit boring but its character development so bare with me here.
Thank you for all those who have review! Here's another lil chappy for all you Draco/Luna out there! Sorry if they seem OC in this chapter and it's kind of dull but bear with me on this one. Thanks!

Chapter 3
Peppermint and coffee, Draco thought, opening his eyes. The smell of his bed room was as welcoming as ever.
"What a night I had" Draco muttered to no one in particular burying his face in his pillow and breathed in the aroma of the mansion. It was cold, dark and hard, but it was also home. At this moment he just felt so blessed to just have gotten home last night. Last night, Draco had arrived back to the mansion and after making sure the wound wasn't bleeding anymore, ripped off his muddied clothes and throw on some black silk PJs before flopping down on his enormous bed, falling asleep almost instantly from exhaustion, not to mention blood lost.
Getting up, Draco noticed the sun shining brightly through the gaps in his dark green curtains, it was probably passed eight already; Draco groan, he usually awoke around seven in the morning, he was an early raiser and wasn't someone to sleep in. Draco sat up in bed pulling the covers off of him and ruffled his hair as was a habit of his in the morning.
"Ouch" Draco uttered through gritted teeth as he winced feeling a sudden spike of pain near the back of his neck . Thank god it had stopped bleeding.
Taking off his clothes as he went, Draco made his way into the huge master bathroom to wash up, he felt at ease at the sound of running water and found himself wondering why his mother had never thought of building a water fall in the gardens. Draco stripped of the last of his clothing as he allowed himself a small smile, since he was alone and closed his eyes happily, feeling the tender part of his neck (the wound) go numb as the hot water soaked into his skin. It was the kind of relaxation that only a hot bath could give.
Draco emerged a few minutes later, refreshed and soaking wet. Staring into the non-enchanted mirror in the bathroom he watched as his reflection frown. Looking at his pale blonde hair made him remember the girl from last night, with dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes.
"A lot brighter than mine" Draco muttered unconsciously gazing into the mirror at his appearance. And much shorter too, he thought as an afterthought. Wonder who she was? Why can't I remember? After a few minutes of wondering who she was and why she had helped him without asking for anything else in return, he dismissed her as just another face in the war he probably had fought with before.
Throwing on a towel around his middle Draco opened the bathroom door the moist heat mist from the hot shower ebbed into his bedroom. Weird, his room was a lot brighter than before; Draco turned towards the window.
"Good morning Draco Malfoy"
Draco stared at the girl, frozen at the sight before him. Usually his reflexes were a lot quicker but no one, NO ONE, had ever snuck up on him, to say the least, not in his own house, EVER…before! But she was there, saying a chirpy little good morning to him, perched, Draco realized with a start, right on his window sill. The curtains were pulled back letting in the morning sun light.
He would've seen the beauty of the day if this girl hadn't just popped out of nowhere therefore drawing his mind away from anything else ordinary.
She was the same girl he was just thinking of a coupled seconds ago, small, wearing the same clothes but clean now, and she looked as comfortable as ever, her pale face glimmering in the light as if it was the most interesting thing to do, perched on a Malfoys' window sill at eight-thirty in the morning.
"HOW did you get in here?" Was the first thing he wanted to know, his manor was filled with wards, although he had taken some dangerously lethal ones out after the war ceased incase normal people accidentally uncovered the manor, he knew he still had all the effective ones up that would prevent anyone that had not been invited in to venture into the building, let alone, HIS own private bedroom.
The girl blinked at him with almost a smile and looked thoughtful for a minute. She had on an honest enough expression as she answered him,
"I'm not quite sure Draco Malfoy, I just thought I'll check up on you and see how you were, so I just…" She pause thinking of a word to use "…arrived" She finished her sentence looking back at him as if the explanation made sense of everything, which of course, it didn't.
"You mean to tell me, that you got pass all the wards and dark magic of the manor and all the way into my bedroom without an inkling of anything?" Draco asked. Did she fly in from the window or something?
She merely gazed at him a slightly apologetic look on her face as if to say sorry for not having a better explanation. And another fact was that she didn't seem a bit ruffled at the sight of him half naked, but then again, he felt that she was trying desperately to only stare at his face.
Water still dripping from his wet pale blonde locks Draco tighten his hold on his towel his eyebrows quirking in amusement and curiousness towards the girl before him. Usually he wasn't so easily winded up but something about the girl ticked him off as he narrowed his eyes and his jaw line tightened. Draco shifted his feet slowly and made his way over to the girl who looked interested.
I need a new approach, Draco thought to himself, I need facts. With that in mind he watched as the seemingly innocent looking yet not naïve girl glanced at him but away from his face. Her eyes travel over his body and stopped at his abs for a fraction of a second before returning her gaze back to his face. Draco could've sworn he saw her cheeks became a tad pink and she looked on the verge of looking uncomfortable.
Draco bit back a smirk and bent down slightly, lowering his face right in her face and breathed in, she smelt of lavender and…to his delight, peppermint. Draco sensed with satisfaction that she gave an almost unnoticeable twitch; she had almost squirmed under his fierce glance although trying desperately not to.
Must be the towel, Draco thought, and this time allowing himself a smirk.
"I am going to ask you one more time…pet" He said in a huskily voice his hand snapping up to catch her dirty blonde locks in his fingers, earning a sharp intake of breath from her. He watched her eyes widen as he draw it up to smell her lock of hair, caressing her hair with his nose.
She smelt pretty. Draco thought closing his silver grey eyes, the scent was endearing. Exactly the kind of girl he thought she was. But you never know!
"Tell me, how…did you get in here?"
He asked letting her long locks fall from the tip of his long pale fingers, his body still steaming from the hot bath, before placing his eyes on her. She jerked slightly at the sudden eye contact. She kept silent, seemingly unable to move.
"Perhaps you didn't hear me" Draco pressed on with a hint of anger in his voice this time.
"I…said" Draco growled making each word clear to her as he placed both of his arms down on either side of the window sill with a THUD.
"How-did-you-get-in-here?!" She flinched slightly at his menacing tone. "Pet" Draco spat out as an afterthought.
He wasn't in the mood for games now, he had had one hell of a night, a head injury to boot and he wanted to know how this girl could appear anywhere he was and somehow get through all the wards Malfoy Manor had. He didn't want to be an ass about it but he had to get serious if he wanted to get answers. If she was a powerful individual, he would see and if she was a dark witch seeking power, well then, he would deal with her.
It took a lot to intimidate Draco Malfoy, and she was not one of them.
"I am not here on ill terms" She said in a rather steady voice for someone who was under his powerful stare. But then she looked away seemingly unable to meet his eyes anymore. Serves you right, Draco thought.
"I'm not sure how I got here; I just know that I can appear here, to see you and well…I'm just here!" She finished but Draco continued to stare her down wondering if he should trust her, she did help him last night. Draco noticed for the first time, as the girl glance at the floor her angelic face held a look of someone who was...lost, almost, well if she was lost then what was he?
Draco closed his eyes willing his patience to maintain with the girl long enough to know what's what.
"You are saying" Draco stated opening his eyes to glance once more at her face "That you have no idea how you have come to be perched on my window sill?" She lifted her head and to his surprise gave him a warm smile.
"Yes, that's right Draco Malfoy" Taken aback by the sudden warmth, Draco withdrawn bring his hand to his towel once more feeling it about to slip off, he saw her glance upon him once more and to his surprised, she chose the moment to blush.
"You're blushing" Draco state, pointing out the obvious his face blank, his voice almost cold, still trying to stay serious. She blushed deeper still and nodded.
"I…err…am not accustomed to…almost-naked-men" She muttered, for the first time since they met, she looked REALLY uncomfortable as she looked away from him. Draco almost laughed in relief and amusement. If the girl was THAT innocent, then he guessed she was safe and probably not much of a threat. He'll interrogate her sometime afterwards. However, he wasn't going to let her off that easily yet.
"You've never seen a naked guy? Or just the fact that it's me?" He questioned her with raised eyebrows, shaking his wet strands of hair out of his face as he did so.
"No I-" She started glancing back up to answer him but cut off as Draco suddenly swooped down, bringing his lips to her ear, he knew his hot breath gave her goose-bumps and thought he felt her shivered. Draco smirked against her cheek, almost touching her but did not.
"Would you like to see?" He challenged darkly and he felt her jerk back in surprise.
Draco looked on in surprise as she slipped backwards slightly and Draco being a seeker as he was reached out and grabbed her hand pulling her back into his room before she could fall clear out the window. Her small body as light as a feather bounced back in hitting him in the chest as her body collide with him.
"Geez women, be more careful" Draco snapped in annoyance as he pushed her off him, she was so light that the force of impact hadn't even made him stumble, just hot headed. She stumbled then steadied herself.
"No" She said slowly her expression back to her normal mellow face.
"No?" Draco repeated before growling in a low lion-like voice. "What do you mean no?" She spared him a glanced before suddenly (to his utter horror) springing into a cat-like dance and started doing a strange ballerina twirl towards his door, Draco once again taken aback, watched on in awe at the weirdness even though his eyes merely tweaked and his lip tighten.
"No as in, Draco Malfoy, I wouldn't want to see" She paused and he felt the need in his tingling hand to strangle and hex the hell out of this strange girl as she looked him up and down. But what got him the most was her next sentence.
"I don't think you're my type, hmm…really, I don't think so" She murmured as if he wasn't even in the room, also putting her index finger to her chin in a thoughtful way. "Not by how you behave Draco Malfoy, not yet, I wouldn't want to see"
Draco stared almost gaping in awe but caught himself. How DARE she!?
Sure people have said much more horrible things than that to him but that hurt his ego somewhat massive, and for reasons Draco couldn't fathom it irk him that the statement came from her. Draco scowled and glared advancing on her as she paused in her dance.
"Well, you know what to do now right?" Draco demanded towering over her.
"What?" She inquired with a hint of curiosity in her voice.
"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM, WOMEN!" Draco bellowed, and with that he grabbed her arm, dragged her across the room and shoved her out with one push, it was almost tempting to kick her.
"But-" She began but Draco glowered down on her.
"I am everybody's'…" He paused composing his face into an icy look. "…type. Good day."
He finished and merely closed the door in her astonish face with a BANG.
"No, you're not!"
Draco heard her chirped from the other side of the door and growled in frustration.
"Argh! Shut up Loony!" He had no idea at the time that he had said something very close to her actual name.
To be continued…
