Chapter One: Almost Lover, Part One

Luna Lovegood dazedly noticed that he tasted like dark chocolate and then, after a brief moment of bitterly thinking about what could have been, she quickly pulled away. She knew that she could not let this nonsense continue. Nothing had changed. He was still no good for her. She resisted the urge to slap him.

"This should not continue," Luna absentmindedly rebuked him.

"Oh, really?" He playfully replied as he attempted to steal another kiss from her.

"No more kisses from me," Luna chided.

"Why not?"

"Don't you remember, Draco?"

She still remembered. The incident had been quite damaging.

"Remember what?"

"Oh, don't play at being a dimwitted fool," she scolded him.

"Play at being dimwitted? Never!"

"Then let me refresh your memory," Luna icily replied.

"There's no need for that, Luna," Draco hurriedly commented.

"Oh, I do think that there is a need. To begin with, our political views are quite… different and you, my dear Draco, are a bigot and a coward."

Luna could see anger dancing in the charcoal eyes that had once mesmerized her.

"You are not… good for me," Luna reluctantly reminded him.

His temper sometimes terrified her. She had seen what harm he could do.

"Stay away from me, all right?" Luna begged as she began to back away.

She wished that she had not accidentally left her wand in the Common Room.

"Stay away," he angrily mocked, "Stay away?"

"That's what I would like," Luna calmly remarked as she continued moving away from him.

"Together, we were something important," he angrily told her.

"Maybe," Luna conceded.

"There's no maybe to it," he angrily growled.

"You once said that you would do anything to make me happy. Leaving me alone... would make me very happy," Luna pleaded.

"All right," Draco replied with a dark grin," but if I can't have you, no one will have you."

Luna could almost imagine that she could hear Harry Potter yelling evasion strategies into her ear. Perhaps attending D.A. was going to pay off.

"Run, run away little Luna," Draco called after her.

She tried to ignore him.

"Maybe you will actually get away," Draco mocked.

"I will," Luna tauntingly called back.

She winced when she heard him shout an unforgivable but giggled when she realized that he had just barely missed her.

"You'll be alone, Luna! I'll make sure of it!"

She picked up her pace. Staying away from Draco Malfoy would be the best thing that she had ever done.

An apology: I have been bitten by the drabble and one shot bug. I have been trying to recover, but I have not fully recovered yet. Until I recover fully, I will need forgiveness for any chapters that are... mini. ;)

Reviews are welcomed. Flames will keep me warm, but since I feel extremely unwell, and mostly prefer the cold, certain... distasteful revenge will be promptly dished out. ;)
