Description
Draco allowed Luna to lead him outside the castle, he remembered that he he had to be back with Professor Snape by lunchtime but decided he was fine so he allowed her to lead him down to Hogsmead.

Draco looked at her as she stopped underneath a tree covered in cherry blossoms, she sat underneath the tree and sat down on a rock and motioned for Draco to sit down next to her, he slowly with a grunt of pain sat down beside her and she smiled at him after she had been looking through her bag she had brought, obviously she hadn't found what she had been looking for.

"Oh those Nargles, I tell you Draco they keep taking things from my room." She said shaking her head.

Draco gave a nod even though he didn't have a clue what she was talking about.

"So...Luna, what are they...Nargles I mean." Draco asked quietly.

"Oh, they are magical creatures that infest mistletoe, and take things from people, they're mischievous thieves they are." Luna said with another shake of her head.

Draco raised an eyebrow and made a small noise.

"They are quite troublesome." Luna added.

Draco turned towards her, nervousness rising in his stomach.

"I um...Luna, I was wondering...if you...wanted to go out with me? I understand if you don't want to...I really do...I mean I am a-" Draco couldn't finish his sentence as Luna cut him off.

"Sure Draco, I'd like that." She smiled at Draco who looked stunned, he hadn't been expecting her to say yes, after all he was a werewolf.

"I really don't care what you are mister Malfoy. I like you. And that's what matters." She said with another innocent expression. Draco looked down, he was still hurt over Pansy's death, but Luna really seemed to like him, but those words she had just said, they were similar to what Pansy had said that night in the Room of Requirement.

"But, your friend Weasely...I think he likes you Luna...and he hates me...he might not like the idea of me and-" Draco started but again Luna cut him off,

"Let Harry deal with Ron, he can fix it." Luna said and pulled out her Quibbler latest and last Quibbler magazine that her father had written and started to read it upside down.

"Why are you reading upside down?" Draco asked.

"I always read like this. Don't you?" She asked yet another innocent question.

"Um...no I don't." Draco said softly.

"Well that's alright, you may be a bit shy...and a bit odd. But I still like you." She said softly as she put the magazine away and moved closer to Draco and wrapped her arms around him.

Draco hesitated but wrapped his arms around her too, and then looked up at the sky, and his eyes widened when he noticed that the sun was going down.

He hadn't realized it was getting so late. "We've missed classes..." Draco said softly.

"Oh, I guess we did. I suppose we should get back...we're probably already in trouble. Sorry. I lost track of time." Luna said giving Draco's hand a small squeeze.

Draco and Luna both stood and Luna turned to face Draco and gently turned him around to face her, she leaned in close to him so their faces were inches away.

Both Draco's short hair and her long blond hair was whipping around in the strong breeze of the wonderful spring evening, she looked into his blue-gray eyes and leaned closer til their lips met and she wrapped her arms around him.

Draco was surprised, he actually felt happy and he hadn't felt happy since a time before he had gotten bitten, lately he had been miserable ever since the werewolf attack, only Pansy had been able to make him feel like this.

He wrapped his skinny arms around her and started to kiss her back as the wind knocked pink cherry blossoms on them, she unbuttoned his white button up shirt and undid the Slytherin tie and moved it out of the way, she felt the scared skin and he grabbed her wrists and tears were filling his eyes as he looked into her silver eyes.

"Please...don't look at them...please." He whimpered.

She stopped and stroked his cheek, "I don't mind Draco. It doesn't bother me." She said as she looked down at the scars in the center of his chest near the lung area, then at his shoulder with the large faded bite marks, he squeezed his eyes shut from discomfort so she kissed him again and wrapped her arms around him once more and he did the same as they sat back down on the rock.

She stopped kissing him however when she heard a stick break underneath someone's foot as they came walking near them, they both looked and saw Harry with wide surprised eyes.

"Luna?" Harry asked softly as he saw Luna and Draco who had his shirt unbuttoned and had been kissing Luna.

"Potter, what are you doing here?" Draco cried as his face turned beat red and started buttoning his shirt back up, and fixing his tie.

"Me and Sirius were sent to look for you two, where have you been all day?" Harry asked Luna.

"Oh, I've been with mister Malfoy, we had a great time." She said with that innocent look in her eyes.

Draco looked down feeling totally embarrassed that his enemy had seen him kissing one of his friends.

Draco jumped suddenly when he heard a loud cackle that he recognized so well, it was his aunt Bellatrix.

Draco, Luna, and Harry watched as Bellatrix and Draco's father apparated a few yards away from them.

"Draco, I'm not happy with you my son..." Lucius said softly.

Even though Draco was terrified of the man, he felt anger rise up inside him. "Oh? So now I'm you son? I thought you disowned me because I'm not your pure blooded son anymore? No! I'm not your son! I don't belong to you anymore! Professor Snape is my guardian now! Not you!" Draco said defiantly.

Lucius' eyes flashed with anger and he started to draw his wand from the walking stick but he stopped suddenly and looked at Draco with an amused face.

"So, Draco...you wish Severus was your father instead of me?" Lucius asked with a look of amusement on his face as he walked towards Luna and Draco with slow steps, Luna watched as Draco let go of her hand and started to back away from his father his eyes wide with terror.

Harry drew his wand and was about to cast a spell on Lucius Malfoy when Bellatrix raised her wand and cast a spell before he could perform his.

"Petrificus Tortalus!" She snapped viciously, instantly Harry's body froze and he couldn't move a muscle.

"Acio wand!" She said and Harry's wand flew out of Draco's hand and into her own.

Luna aimed her wand at Bellatrix "Expelliarmus!" she said firmly and a light erupted from the tip of it and hit her hand wand hand and disarmed her of her wand, but the force of the spell was so strong that it sent her flying back into a tree making her drop Harry's wand as well.

Bellatrix apparated behind Luna and grabbed her roughly with her silver dagger to Luna's throat. "Drop it. Or I'll kill you right here." She said in her harsh voice.

Luna looked down in defeat and dropped her wand, then she watched as Lucius advanced on Draco until his son while walking backwards tripped over the root of an old tree and fell backwards onto his rear.

Draco continued to back up by crawling backwards but finely he was against a large rock, and Lucius raised the cane and slammed it down on Draco who raised his arms up to protect himself but the cane came down on Draco's shoulder where he heard a loud crack.

Draco let out a loud cry as Lucius continued to bring the cane down again and again repeatedly.

The last blow he gave hit Draco clean across the face so hard that the cane snapped in half. Draco let out a loud cry as he lay on the ground sobbing.

"Well Draco, do you want to say such vile words to your father again?" Lucius asked as he knelt down and put his mouth to Draco's ear.

Draco again looked at Lucius defiantly and with both fear and anger in his eyes.

"You, are a monster...and I don't belong to you anymore. Father's tell their sons that they love them, and they don't beat them like you do me." Draco sobbed as he knew this was only going to cause him more pain.

Lucius glared at him with hatred. "Beat you? I didn't beat you, you ungrateful brat! I disciplined you! I gave you a roof over your head, got you everything you wanted, gave you food and water, I treated you like a prince in my home...both me and your mother did! And this is how you repay me! And love? Love! Love is for the weak, its a pathetic useless emotion!"

Draco looked at him with a look of sadness as he cried.

"But it's not right, other fathers don't treat their sons like this. Why do you do this? At least Professor Snape cares, he cares about me! He wouldn't hurt me, unlike you! I don't want to work for him! He killed Pansy, she didn't even do anything. She never hurt anyone..." Draco sobbed as more tears came from his eyes while he silently snuck his wand out of his robes and aimed it at his father.

"Everte Statum!" he said firmly and sent his father flying backwards into a tree, but he was instantly on his feet and he apparated behind Draco and knocked him back to the ground.

"How dare you! You brat!" Lucius snarled and was going to to hit Draco once more with the cane when someone shouted 'Expelliarmus' and a red light came flying at him and hit him directly and the cane flew out of his hand and he looked and saw Snape standing there with an angry glare upon his face.

Draco looked up at him his eyes half open he was on the verge of unconsciousness.

"Lucius...I'm tired of you beating Draco, I'm not going to tolerate it anymore...you are ruining his life. And it is going to stop now." Severus said softly.

He pointed his wand at Potter and snarled, "Finite." and the body binding spell reversed and he slowly got up and picked up his wand.

"And what are you going to do Severus? The dark lord wishes to talk to my son...you can do nothing to help him." Lucius snarled.

"Oh?" Severus said and gave a sly smirk. "Just watch me." he snarled and aimed his wand right in front of Lucius and shouted, "Bombarda!" and a small explosion erupted in front of the blond and he was sent flying backwards, and the dark haired witch looked harshly at Severus.

"You filthy badger! How dare you defy your master the dark lord!" She cried.

"You can give my apologies to the Dark Lord then." Snape said and walked to Draco and helped him up.

"Drop the boy! Or I'll kill the girl!" Bellatrix snapped tightening her grip on Luna's hair, but Harry had gotten out of her view of sight and he aimed his wand.

"Stupefy!" He shouted and the blue light hit the crazy witch and paralyzed her and she dropped Luna who calmly walked over to Draco and looked at him with her silver gray eyes.

Lucius got up and reversed the paralyzing spell that had been cast on his sister-in-law, He and Bellatrix glared at Severus before apparating back to report to the Dark Lord about Severus' betrayal.

Draco looked into Snape's eyes and saw they were filled with anger. "What were you doing! You could have been killed mister Malfoy!" he snarled.

Luna stepped forward and looked at the fuming potions professor calmly. "He was with me professor."

"What were you two doing out here at this time of night?" Severus snarled angrily.

"We lost track of time this morning and we were talking and it was late and we realized we had missed our classes so we were going to head back but we ran into the two death eaters." She said cocking her head to the side.

There was a white mist that appeared as Lupin, Tonks, and Mad-Eye appeared in the clearing they were all standing in.

"You two are in a load of trouble cous." Tonks said in a firm voice as she looked at Draco.

Draco's eyes widened when he saw he saw Allastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody standing there. "What you lookin' at son?" Mad-Eye asked softly.

"You! You killed her!" Draco cried loudly and looked hatefully at the man and pulled away from Severus with a strong jerk of his arms and ran towards Mad-Eye and was about to punch him when Mad-Eye caught his wrist.

"Son, it was an accident. I never meant to kill her." he said calmly.

Draco swung his other fist but he caught the other one as well, Severus walked forward and pulled Draco away from Mad-Eye holding him tightly so he couldn't go after the man again.

"He killed her! He killed my mum! How can you just let that happen!" Draco cried and continued to kick and scream until Snape's angry voice stopped him.

"Stop it Draco! Stop it right now! It was not his fault it was an accident! Draco stop!" Severus growled finely Draco calmed and Mad-Eye, Lupin, and Tonks apparated away again while Lupin took Harry with him.

Draco collapsed against his god father's chest and started to cry. "I want her back...I never got to say goodbye, I didn't tell her how much I loved her one last time. I could've done something to help her. My mum didn't have to die." Severus sighed as he felt Draco go limp as he had passed out from wearing himself of his strength, so he picked Draco up and then looked at Luna.

"Grab onto my arm miss Lovegood." he said sharply.

Luna complied and then Snape apparated them back to just outside the castle and school grounds.
