**I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING THIS STORY IN SO LONG. I've had a lot of school work and I'd forgotten about this fic, however I am back up writing now, I will continue with this story as well as some one-shots here and there, I hope you are all well, thank you for being patient with me! xx

Luna wiped vomit from the corner of her mouth and flushed the toilet. She then gargled some water and placed a mint on her tongue, sucking it hard as she walked down the corridor deep in thought. Her soft white hands traced along the wall as she stepped. She closed her eyes, the winding paths of Hogwarts were familiar to Luna, walking around with her eyes closed was what she did. Although having your eyes shut means that you cannot see other things, like Draco Malfoy pacing in the opposite direction to Luna.

Crash.

There was a head on collision, Draco was walking so fast he actually knocked Luna over, who was now sprawled out over the cold flagstone. Instictively Draco offered her a hand to help her up (but not before checking there was no one around), as Luna raised her arm her sleeve fell a few inches, revealing an array of scratches and scars, some raging red against her ivory skin, others had faded to whites and purples. Luna gulped as Draco studied her arm, taken slightly aback by it all.

"I'm sorry." Luna said as she got up, nursing her right knee as it had taken most of the impact from her fall.

Draco remained silent, and just studied her. He could tell there was something wrong, the way her clothes hung off her and the way her socks fell down and the way her eyes that were once enticing were now hollowing.

"I'm sorry." Luna said again. "I really am, I wasn't looking where I was going, it was really all my fau-."

"Don't apologise." Draco interrupted. He took once last look at her and walked away.

Luna stood for a while, thoroughly confused, Draco Malfoy had actually been somewhat civil towards Luna, or anyone not in Slytherin for that matter. She was concerned that he'd found out her secret, it had be him, the one person her friends dispised so much knew her secret.

"Well his dad does work for the Department of Mysteries." she thought "Maybe he's good at keeping secrets."

Luna knew this made no sense in her head, but she had hope that Draco would do the right thing and keep it to himself.
