So uh I think this is pretty bad but it's been sitting her for a month so why not publish it?


Draco searched the hall looking for victims to taunt along with his fellow Slytherins when he spotted his favorite target, Harry Potter. As usual Granger and Weasley were trailing along behind Potter and Luna Lovegood. He stopped in thought, the Ravenclaw was a new addition.

For a brief moment an emotion unknown towards him flickered across his face before scowling and looking away. Luna Lovegood or Loony Lovegood as most called her was a thorn in his side. She annoyed him far worse than Potter by simply existing. They had never conversed but she plagued his thoughts more than he knew she ought to ever since second year. He glanced up again to see her smiling dreamily at Potter and felt anger surge through him.

Why couldn't she smile at him?

With a sigh Draco rationalized like many times before why she never could smile at him. They were on different sides of a war and you didn't just date the enemy. She was good and he was bad, something that never reacted well. He also targeted her friends which would not get him on her good side. Sighing again he remembered she was also growing. She was a young and pretty, boys would begin catching her eye and certainly boys would be interested in her. Already the boys he had once seen tease her blush instead as she passed by them. She was no longer the strange lonely girl he had noticed in his second year. With a drop in his stomach he wondered who would be the one to interest the blossoming girl.

Glancing up again he saw Potter put an arm around Luna and pull her closer to his side as she laughed.

Rage clouded his mind as he quickly strolled the hall towards the group he had been previously watching before ready to humiliate Potter or possibly hex him. Whichever would give him more pleasure for seeing Potter hold Luna.

"Look at that saintly Potter and Loony Lovegood together," he practically spat when he reached them. He inwardly winced at the name he called her but he was the bad guy after all. He couldn't afford to show kindness in front of anybody.

"Got a problem with it Malfoy?" said Harry glaring back.

Wait he thought did this mean that these two were together? This wasn't what he wanted to hear.

"Oh no, I'm just surprised why you two weirdos didn't get together sooner," he quickly replied with what he hoped was a sneer.

"Shut up Malfoy! And leave us alone or you'll regret it!" Harry threatened ready to escape his taunts. He would have been glad to leave him alone if only he would remove his arm from around her.

"C'mon Harry let's go," he heard Luna say softly as she smiled at Potter before giving Draco a half smile also, oblivious of the tension between the two.

He heard his heard pounding loudly realizing she had acknowledged that he did exist to her as previous emotions wiped away in place of hidden joy. With that simple half smile he felt as if he had been struck with a Cheering charm.

Suddenly they were walking past him holding hands before he had realized it. He began seeing red as his emotions rapidly changed again, now filled with rage and jealousy. He whipped his fist backwards and placed a well aimed punch to the back of Potter's head.
