A few months ago I asked Miss Junie50az if I could continue her brilliant story and get this, She said YES! I will most definettly give her credit where credit is desrved and put in minimal changes. I just can't wait to share this story!. Anyway, review, enjoy yadda yadda yadda... Here you go :D
Authors Note: First of all, I didn't make or own Harry Potter (can anyone say a big DUH there?). Now, onto the basics.
Date: June 1997. A few hours after Dumbledore's funeral. Luna's end of 5th year, Draco's end of 6th year. The last day of school.
Setting: The Three Broomsticks, Hogsmeade
Other: The story will also go along with the last book of Harry Potter (The Deathly Hallows) except things will be a little different.. Also the "Ritchies" are just a thing I made up for Luna to believe in, not actually something that she already believed in before (such as Nargles).
Luna's POV
Luna sat down on a heavy red stool. She waited for the bartender, Rosmerta, to attend to her and hear a creak. It came from the pub door, indicating that someone had entered the place. Up until now, there were a few other people in The Three Broomsticks. Everyone was still depressed about Dumbledore dying and most had come here only to drink it off. Mostly the older students, of course. She had been one of the few from the D.A. to actually answer the call to protect the school.
She suddenly heard a voice coming from the person who had come in. She intriguingly turned around to see who it was. "So it's Harry Potter's little friend" sneered Draco Malfoy (he had spit out the name Harry Potter as if it were poison). Despite being rude and obnoxious like always, Luna noticed that he looked paler. Also he had an uncertain and afraid appearance marked on his face rather than the normal rude-looking one. He wasn't exactly ugly, but he was a great pain. Evil and mean to her friends. She couldn't exactly say that she loathed him, as he barely interacted with her, but she very much disliked him.
His little slow posse of Crabbe and Goyle weren't with him now. Luna wasn't exactly sure on what to think except that it was rather odd. Perhaps he thought he was too cool for them. Who knew what went on in that mind of Slytherins?
She noticed that Draco sat down on another stool, green, as far away from her as he could. Am I staring again? It was a tendency and people often thought of her weird to space out. Then again, barely anyone else believes in the truth anymore. They all thought she was crazy, and called her Loony Luna. She couldn't see how people used to not believe in Nargles and Voldemort coming back. But both of those things were real, whether people chose to believe in it or not.
She requested a Butterbeer, while Malfoy demanded a Firewhisky. Wasn't that too strong, and only for wizards 17 years and older anyways? Rosmerta didn't seem to care, he must not have been the first to ask for one since the sad events had happened (the attack on Hogwarts and Dumbledore dying, of course). The bartender wiped her tear-streaked face with her sleeve and Malfoy seemed disgusted at this act. In a matter of a few seconds, their drinks were there though.
It was a while before Malfoy said something, and it was laced with his usual unkindness. "I thought that your Loony kind weren't allowed here, Lovegood". She ignored him and instead looked down at her drink. "Did you check the for the Ritchies in the mug? They like to go into Butterbeers and lay some of their bad-smelling poison in it" she asked Rosmerta. Luna sniffed it and shook her head. "I think its good" she said slowly, as usual with her way of talking.
Draco's POV
Rosmerta left, and had looked quite annoyed with Luna's odd behavior. Of course who wouldn't be? She was crazy. Eccentric. Lunatic Loony Lovegood. And, worst of all, she was Potter's friend. Along with know-it-all mudblood Granger, red-headed and poor Weasley, another red-headed Weasley girl, and that fat-ass stupid Longbottom.
Did he have a horrible pick on friends or what? To believe that he, Draco Malfoy, had offered the idiot a friendship and he had declined! And for them.. Lovegood was wearing some cork necklace right now, and that was pretty sane according to what she normally wore. But even though he acted so confident and proud of himself, but not at others, he wasn't feeling rather good right now.
The shock of having to do tasks for the 'Dark Lord' was terrifying, but not even more so than if he failed he and his parents would most likely be killed. It brought up alot of stress, and it certainly didn't help when Dumbledore was killed right before his eyes. He had always loathed "the old fool" (as he called him, when he was being nice. He had worse words to use) but still.. Watching someone die wasn't an idea of fun, especially if you were meant to do it. Even though his parents had adored Voldemort he was more scared of him. He never let it show except when he had outbreaks and confessed to Moaning Myrtle about it.
The situation would have to be that bad, to have to cry in front of a dead muggle-born.He drank some (OK, it was half of the mug) of his Firewhisky and suddenly felt some pressure round off of him. "Luna, don't want the good stuff?" he said, beckoning to his Firewhisky with a superior-looking smirk. She looked at him with a surprised look, or was it her normal one? She always seemed to be permanently surprised and out of the world. A true loony. He shook his head with another smug smirk.
Date: Tomorrow
Setting: The Hog's Head Renting Room
Luna's Pov
Luna woke up with a groggy feeling. She felt like she was going to throw up and had a headache. What happened? All she could remember was drinking and something to do with a room. Luna swayed in her spot, feeling like some sort of a zombie mind. And suddenly, it was if she had just opened her eyes. This wasn't her room! It was a dark room with hearts all over it and it looked like some sort of a little girl's place. Littered on the floor were tons of drinks. Even muggle beer. She looked to her left slowly with a tired glance. On the other side of the bed was..
"Draco Malfoy" Luna muttered. No. It can't be. There were sheets covering his body and face, but his hair could be seen. There was no mistaking that blonde hair. And he had been in The Three Broomsticks with her. But.. maybe it was someone else? Please, be anyone else but him.. Luna begged with herself as she pulled the covers to reveal his face. She wasn't surprised but still felt horrible when it was him.
Just then, Luna realized that she hadn't been wearing anything but some see-through black satin nightdress. She pulled the covers all the way off of the bed and saw that Malfoy wasn't wearing anything at all. Except for some boxers. Good riddance for that.
But they had still done it. It as in sex. We must have been drunk. At least I know I was.Luna not only felt so dirty, sick, and guilty but also (for the first time of her life) she felt drunk. She glanced coldly at Malfoy and was reminded of the Basilisk that could kill with it's looks in her first year. Good thing for him that he wasn't awake. The often cold and cruel boy was actually not bad looking in his peaceful and sweet dream.
Luna decided to get her things and quickly leave while he was still asleep. And just right then she remembered that yesterday had been the last day of school. Her father would be so worried! How could she explain about this? The best thing to do right now was to make up a lie. While thinking of a believable one, Luna got her clothes on. It took a while to find everything (it was scattered everyone in the room). Must have ripped it off.. She could suddenly remember clothes flying everywhere and off of her. Eww. Finally, Luna had everything and fled.
At least she thought she had everything..
Cliffhanger, right? Bet you don't know what she left ;). And I know you must be annoyed by the quantity of my commas and the fact that I don't use 1st person narrative but..
Please comment (I know it sounds annoying, but thats the fanfiction life!) so I'll know what to improve on! There won't be too much different POV's in the other chapters so don't freak out just yet xD. I feel like I couldn't do much of Luna's personality but I think I got Draco's not bad.
