Luna heard the impact as she walked into the third person that afternoon. She couldn't help it. Her mind was having a fierce debate with itself about the likelihood that Professor Snape was actually related to that muggle they called Ozzy Osbourne so something as trivial as watching where she was going had completely flown out of the window.
'Merlin, Lovegood! Is there anything at all in that bonkers head of yours?'
She looked up into the glaring eyes of the Slytherin she had just walked into.
'I'm sorry, Draco.' her voice seemed as though she had swallowed an unhealthy amount of some illegal muggle drug. She had begun to walk away but Draco grabbed her arm roughly and hissed into her ear.
'I. Told. You. To. Call. Me. Malfoy.'
'Ok. You look stressed, Mal-foy. Maybe you should try Kalms? There these muggle pills that are meant to make you relaxed. The make them out of muggle plants. Imagine! They don't seem to be very good though. I've had a whole packet and they've had no effect at all.'
Draco stared blankly at the babbling girl. It was a moment before he realised he still had hold of her and another before he registered that she'd even been talking. He let go of her arm as though it was on fire and marched away, leaving her chatting to no-one in particular about the effect muggle drugs had on her.
'You and that Lovegood girl got something going on, Draco?'
As Draco rounded the corner he forced himself to keep walking and resisted the urge to smash Theodore Nott's ugly pig-like face into the wall beside him. To his annoyance, he heard the sound of Nott's footsteps following him.
'Is that why you're always lying awake at night? You thinking about he-'
Draco's fist made contact with Nott's face so quickly his sentence remained unfinished. As Theodore struggled to his feet, blood dripping from his nose, he sneered.
'In denial, Malfoy?'
You could almost see the hatred radiating from Draco as he seized the jeering boy by his robes. He tensed as he felt a presence appear behind him.
'Nott? What has happened to your nose?' Snape's slimy voice crept into Draco's ear and throwing Theodore with enough force to send him stumbling backwards, he marched away, turning to Snape as he left.
'He walked into the wall, Professor.'
Apologies for the shortness of the chapter. I've just started college so I'm just about getting into the swing of things and working around homework is tough.
