You know, it was hard enough to accept the fact that I wanted Draco, it was hard to explain, and it still is. But we don't always have a reason for our choices, actions, wants, needs and desires, do we? It took me a while after that, as I sat down and thought "I'm Luna Lovegood, I'm a Ravenclaw, and the majority of the student body thinks I'm a complete lunatic, maybe I am, and I probably am now since I decided that I want Draco Malfoy." I sighed, the possibilities were nowhere near imaginable, and how would he ever love me? But like I said, I couldn't let Pansy win him, to increase the size of her empty ego even more? No thank you.
Later that night as I rested my head down to my pillow - and hopefully expecting a good night's sleep- Marietta sat up, cross legged on her bed and said to me "Luna…I just wanted to tell you that I didn't tell anyone about….you know…how you like Draco and stuff…" my heart leaped, I thought she had forgotten, I slowly sat up, supporting myself with my elbows and gave her a small smile, "Thanks Etta, that means a lot." I said to her, after that there was a short silence; I slowly rested my head back on to my pillow. The silence was broken as I said "I don't think I stand a chance with him. I just know it." Marietta didn't say anything for quite some time, giving me the idea that she probably fell asleep, as I closed my eyes to venture into the land of dreams to forget about reality, just for a few good hours, Marietta says in a quiet yet audible voice, "Don't give up if you haven't tried." And like that, our conversation had ended on those words, and inside I knew that maybe the idea of getting Malfoy wasn't so bad after all. Not bad at all.
She walked through the halls, with no specific place in mind, she decided to take a stroll through the school out of boredom, she walked deeper and deeper within the school the crowds of people lessened and soon there was no one. 'Where am I?' she thought, as she wandered the schools seemingly abandoned area, she was lost, and wasn't sure how to get back to the Ravenclaw common rooms at least. 'God, I can't believe this.' She muttered, as she kept walking and walking the only thing she managed was to get more lost. She gave up, and leaned against a wall, thinking she might as well stay here forever. Footsteps, she heard. They were faint, from a distance, and almost inaudible. They became louder and she became alert, hoping that the footsteps came her way she looked in every direction. They became louder and closer and her heart leaped with joy. That was until she saw who it was. "Lovegood? What on Earth are you doing here?" Draco said. She rolled her eyes, but felt relieved at the same time, "Just….resting. Can't someone walk around in this damn school?" She had a certain sense of nervousness around her. "Doesn't seem like that to me. You were lost weren't you?" He gave a mocking smirk and leaned against the wall. "No! I'm not lost! I can find my way back anytime!" she snapped, crossing her arms in front of her chest and facing Draco. He raised his eyebrows, looking highly amused, still leaning back on the wall with his arms crossed, he laughed "Alright, alright, don't get your Nargles in a twist…" he paused and looked at her up and down, examining the girl that stood in front of him, he never actually saw what she really looked like. She had a petite figure, small curves in the right places, average height, long blonde hair that seemed soft as clouds, her eyes were a soft blue/grey color, that brought a serenity and calming effect to whomever looked into them, her cheeks, slightly sporting a tint of pink at the moment as emotion was clearly shown on her face, her lips—he jerked his head suddenly back to attention, not realizing that she had been speaking to him the whole time. He nodded his head in approval to whatever she was saying "Yeah sure, Lovegood." He sighed to her looking into her eyes again, just to drown in the emotion they showed. She frowned to him "Did you hear a single thing I said right now?" There was a pause, an awkward silence, Draco did not answer for a while, leaving Luna expecting an answer, and she frowned at him. "Well?" she said, and then he stood up, away from the wall and walked towards her with a smirk, his eyes shining with dazzling grey, he chuckled as his smirk changed to a smile. A smile. He had never smiled at her before and he placed a stray hair behind her ear , her expression calmed into a more curious one, she looked into his eyes with her own widened, with a bit of confusion she said "Malfoy…" She was silenced, as he pressed his lips to hers, molding perfectly with his, he kissed her passionately, holding her head with his fingers entwined in her soft blonde hair, the same shade of his. She kissed him back with equal passion, her heart beating rapidly, she placed her hands on the back of his neck, pulling him closer, while he kissed her more he slowly pressed his tongue to her teeth, she granted him access and had their tongues in a duel. He walked backwards pulling her with him until they reached the wall. He leaned against the wall, with her body pressed against his, he placed his hands on her waist and brought her even closer, she took in a sharp breath at the touch of his hands, he moved his hands down to caress her subtle curves, squeezing every now and then, causing her to gasp in arousal. They broke their kiss, as she looked into his eyes "Malfoy...why me?" she asked curiously. He smirked, his hands still placed on her buttocks, "Why not?" he replied smugly before dragging her into another steamy kiss…
My eyes flung open, 'Oh my God…' I thought, the dream I had…it was so realistic. I sat up, rubbing my eyes and looking around, no one was there, I guess I woke up pretty late. I sighed in disappointment, it was obviously too good to be true. The dream was only there to get my hopes up, only to be broken by the cruelty that is the reality of the situation. I shifted my legs to the edge of the bed, rubbing my head in frustration, and proceeded to get ready for today. What today would hold? I had no idea, but something told me, that Draco definitely won't be any less snotty, which brings me back to reality. Cruel, cruel reality.
