An Unlikely Pair- dun dun DUN

Draco Malfoy, a cold-hearted Slytherin sixth year, was walking

through the halls wondering who to pick on next. Harry Potter was

getting dead boring, and, afterall, he couldn't bully one person

forever now could he? 'Stupid Crabbe, stupid Goyle. That stupid

mudblood Granger had to go and hex them sending them to St. Mungo's.

And she didn't even bloody well get expelled.' He felt a little

stupid when she got them. So he felt it best to find someone with a

little weaker friends than Potter. Not that he was scared. I mean

this IS Malfoy we're talking about. He looks for a easy target, and

finally he spots one. Looney Lovegood. How simple it would be for

her to become the next Potter. Smirking he walks over to her.

Unfortunally for him, in a way, Luna had changed remarkably

over the summer. Obvouisly hunting that Crumple-Horned Snorkack did

her some good. 'Damn' he thought, was this really Looney Luna Lovegood?

Or did a Crumple-Horned Snorkack eat her and was replaced by this

curvey babe? He sat down on the bench by her, not really knowing what

the hell he was doing. 'What the fuck am I gunna say?' he didn't need

to worry though. Luna was the first to speak.

"What do you want?" She didn't say it in a rude way. You'd have

thought she was merely curious on why he was sitting on this bench

when a prefectly good one was open three feet away. She didn't look at

him, she didn't even put down the latest copy of The Quibbler.

"Ummmm..." He wasn't sure if she was listening so she sniffed

loudly to prove she was. "Just to chat, I mean we're in the same school

and it might be nice to have some outter-house bonds if you know what

I mean."

And there was the smirk he was famous for. 'Why must he ALWAYS

smirk?' thought Luna. At least it wasn't a sneer she always hated.

'Geebis the way he smirks so much you'd think his face would crack

if he let out one true smile. He WAS handsome as hell though. Those

grey eyes, blonde hair, and pale body you'd think he wouldn't waste

his breath talking to a freak like me' she thought. Luna didn't think

she was very pretty. In fact down-right ugly if you asked her opion on

herself.

"So what do you say?" Draco asked, wondering if she ever put

down that bloody Quibbler. He held out his hand as for her to shake it.

Finally, and to the relief of Draco, she put down The Quibbler and

shook his hand.

"So now. Errrr...you can let go now." Luna replied, they had

been shaking hands for the last five minutes. He lets go of her hand

and smiles cockily. 'Almost there to a true smile' thought Luna. She

still wondered what he wanted and got it when he jumped on her. Luna,

taken completely off gaurd fell off the bench, Draco on top of her.

Finally he got up and pulled her up too, going slightly red.

"Erm sorry about that." He pulls several leaves out of her hair

and dusts her and himself off a bit. 'Maybe that was a bad idea' he

thinks as several people walk away mumbling "get a room" or "warn us

first before you start making out you bloody pigs." He sighs and hopes

she isn't pissed at him. Preparing what would have been a puppy-dog

look he glances at her. She was smiling deeply at him.

"That was interesting." She smiles and so does he. Although

hopeing next time he would warn her so they could find a more private

spot.

"Oh, you liked it?" He says in a manly way, thinking 'I wonder

if she would stay the night in my dorm sometime.' As you can imagine

Draco was feeling mighty manly. Luna had changed and he liked it. He

only hoped St. Potthead wouldn't mind. Remembering that they seemed

to like eachother, or he seemed to like her. 'But, no. She'd take him,

THE Draco Malfoy, over Potter anyday. Or would she...'
