Draco glared back at her.

'What did you say?'

Luna shrugged, knocking his arm and slipping past the shocked Slytherin.

'I don't see why I should. If you had told the truth we wouldn't be in detention.'

She had barely taken a step before she felt Draco's grip on her wrist. He pulled her roughly towards him, leaning in so close as he spoke, Luna could feel his breath on her face.

'I said, don't patronise me.'

Luna looked thoughtfully at the face of her captor. 'You're very full of yourself, you know. But I think you're hiding something. I can see, in your eyes. They're all fuzzy like you've swallowed nargles.'

Draco released Luna's wrist like it had burst into flames, stepping back and looking at her as though she was something disgusting he had just trodden in. In one look the polite front was gone, leaving only the quick witted tormentor behind.

'You're as crazy as they come, Lovegood. With your nargles and your scribbler, you deserve to be locked up in St Mungo's with the other mental cases.' As his insults flowed, he stepped towards her, forcing her to walk backwards. 'I hear there's a nice bed next to Frank Longbottom. You'd better take it quick before you go the same way as your mother. Blown to pieces wasn't she?' His hand snapped up to catch Luna's as it flew towards his face.

'Going to slap me, were you? Really, Lovegood, you ought to know better. You're one of the good guys, remember?'

Luna struggled to release her hand but Draco only tightened his hold, his eyes sparkling with malice.

'Or maybe miss dolly-daydream isn't quite as innocent as she seems? I suppose a girl with such an open attitude would be up for anything. Been sneaking off to the room of requirement with Potter, have we? Well that would make an interesting rumour.'

Luna's eyes grew wide as she realised what Draco was implying.

'The boy who lived and the resident lunatic. Has a certain ring to it, doesn't it? I bet the daily prophet would pay a lot for that story. Wouldn't look too good for Potter would it? And I'd love to see the expression on the Weasley girl's face when she read it.'

Luna stopped struggling and felt her legs go weak.

'You're blackmailing me.'

'That's right, Lovegood. Perhaps you do have a brain.'

Draco released her wrist and Luna let it drop to her side.

'What do you want me to tell Snape?'

Draco smirked. 'That's more like it, Lovegood.'

Short an sweet. This was quite fun to write, I like writing the bully side of Draco. It's entertaining.
