Disclaimer: Seriously you guys should know this by heart by now hahaha I do not own any original HP characters or plot
Luna Lovegood, was sitting in her St Mungnoes office with her brows knitted together in deep thought, a rare sight to be seen for anyone who had known her. Her fingers brushed across the words held in the parchment in front of her. It had been a week, since she had received this letter. The letter that she had been waiting to receive, since the time she had found out about Draco' condition. A letter that was to be kept from him, unless there was a dire condition. And that week had been the worse, it has been a week when Draco had tried all the Slytherin techniques to get it out of her. And a week when she had held up her own as a true Ravenclaw. She wasn't sorted in the cleverest house of Hogwarts for nothing. Luna, smiled at how easily her thoughts always tended to lead to Draco these days. Sometimes, she still couldn't believe how much he had changed since Hogwarts. His core was still the same, for he was never a heartless bastard like his father, but the way he had embraced his new way of life was remarkable. His nastiness only seemed to come out when he dealt with that colleague of his. She snorted to herself, thinking of the last time her thoughts had linked with his when he was yelling at her. 'The poor soul', she thought, she didn't know Draco Malfoy was not just any ordinary Chemstry teacher.
'Dear, it's Chemistry, not Chemstry. And would you please stop taking pity on Miranda! It should be me who your attention should be devoted to!' her boyfriend's thoughts came to her mind, as clear as they always did, as though he was speaking to her himself, and not telepathically reaching her mind. She smiled again, but was interrupted yet again before she could think of a reply. " And what were you thinking a moment ago? I was trying to reach you but your mind seemed to lock me out...it was the letter! Wasn't it? You just wait, one of these days I am going to find out what's in that letter that's eating away that little brain of yours."
She laughed out loud this time, she had developed a way to block him out whenever she had thoughts about the content of the letter, and it pissed him off to no end. There were many occasions like these when he had tried to sneak
into her thoughts but it had always been before or after she thought about the letter.
"O what do those muggles say? Yes does Mr. Malfoy have a chip on his shoulder? O and my brain is not little" she thought to him. She could feel him humph at her words. He was such a child at times. Her connection was interrupted with a knock at her door.
"Come in," she said, shushing Draco off mentally. " Nurse Lovegood, you are needed in the emergency ward for the mentally ill. Healer Weasley is on maternity leave and they are outstaffed," the hospital attendant informed her.
" I will be right there, Kroetch," she said, getting up on her feet and stuffing the letter in her pocket. She would deal with it later. ' I will see you when I get home okay?' she thought to Draco on her way, sending a wave of affection for him.
'That you will nurse Lovegood. I love having my own private nurse, makes it so worthwhile to get hurt,' he replied, sending the equal amount of affection back her way before tuning off the connection. He knew she needed full concentration, and him being in her head would distract her.
'He was so arrogant sometimes,' Luna thought, but cherished the warmth that was sent her way. It made her love him even more.
Draco Malfoy smirked as he finished telepathically talking to his other half. He took great pleasure to wind her up, just to witness the brief moment of angry looks she shot at him. Hey it wasn't every day you could get Luna Lovegood angry. She was such a calm person it unnerved him sometimes. And even though he said angry it was more like annoyed. He had yet to witness her be truely angry at something. It was as though the emotion didn't exist inside of her. He sighed, he still hadn't had any luck with getting out information on that letter. But now was not the time, he had to meet the Principal, he was supposed to be introduced to a new staff member.
He knew something was different as soon as he walked inside the office. There was nothing muggle in the energy he got from the man, whose back was turned towards him, who was currently shaking the hands of the vice Principal.
"O Draco my boy, this is our new Physics teacher, Mr. Moneventhur," said the Principal, looking up to see Draco in the room.
The dark hair man turned around, giving Draco a mental panic. But with years of practise as Malfoy of schooling his true expressions, Draco had perfected the art of deception. " Pleasure, " he said, taking his hand out. The man had a firm grip. " Nice to meet you, call me David," he told Draco, pumping his hand up and down.
His features were quite well defined. He had dark and thick eyebrows that suited his big brown eyes. With high cheekbones and a freshly shaven face, he almost looked like a person from the 18th century, especially with his side burns and the way his hair was parted. But his clothes, said other wise. With a dress shirt and Jeans, he almost looked like an American in a British school. A complete misfit, yet quite fine for the job, was the last conclusion Draco made about the guy. The magic emmenating from him was a complete different matter. The man's catlike green eyes held something in them that made Draco uncomfortable. It wasn't like Potter's green eyes, no these eyes were more of a pale green.
He smirked as he spotted Miranda Summers flaunting up behind him waiting to be introduced to the new teacher. It was clear she did not have any objection with his looks. Well atleast there was one benefit about having this strange guy in this place, he thought, smiling as Miranda hugged David right away on the first occasion they were introduced.
