Description
Draco and Luna were walking down to Hogsmead, they it was Saturday so they had very few classes that day, Luna had just gotten done with her 'Divination' and Draco had gotten done with his 'Care of Magical Creatures class.'

They had decided to meet up in the courtyard then head on over to Hogsmead, they were walking in the grass and the spring flowers.

They were passing an alley way when suddenly Luna pulled Draco into it and pushed him up against the wall as she started to kiss him.

Draco pulled away and smirked. "You're rather beastly today aren't you."

Luna giggled and stroked his cheek. "Yes, I am. I'm so happy you are back." She whispered softly.

"Me too, I missed seeing your pretty face." Draco said into her ear and placed a kiss on her earlobe.

Draco stopped however when he saw saw something standing at the end of the alley, it was moving too.

Luna followed his gaze and was surprised to see Draco's eyes widen in horror as a man with short black messy and shaggy hair, brown eyes, and all black clothes walked out into their view from the shadows of the ally.

"Well, mister Malfoy...you sure are a slippery little thing...as is your father...I can't believe that man even had the guts to come begging for mercy, and defying the Dark Lord...but you won't be able to squirm your way out of this one. Neither will the pretty little girl next to you." Draco got a look of anger on his face as he stepped in front of Luna

"I'll kill you! Don't you dare touch her! You ruined my life! I won't let you ruin hers!" Luna let out a small squeak before looking at Draco then at the man again.

"Draco...is this-" Luna started but was cut off by the black haired man.

"Roman Pyres m'lady...at your command m'lady." Roman said with a small chuckle as he bowed to one knee.

Draco grabbed his wand and quickly pointed it at Roman who simply smirked.

"You honestly think you can beat me with that little stick? You're wand isn't strong enough to hurt me enough to kill me." Roman laughed and pulled out a vial filled with a liquid Draco recognized immediately as a Reversed Wolfsbane potion.

Roman's body started to change drastically and Draco and Luna backed up their wands still pointed at the giant black werewolf. "Luna...it might be a good idea, to run now..." Draco said softly.

Luna shook her head.

"I'm staying here." She whispered.

~Hogwarts (Gryffindor Common Room)~

Ginny and Harry were sitting quietly in the common room. Ron and Hermione were out doing something and the rest of the Gryffindors were out and about somewhere.

"I just can't believe Luna would end up with someone like Malfoy." Harry said softly as he held Ginny close to his chest while they laid down on one of the couches.

"What's so surprising about it Harry? I mean even Malfoy has some good...qualities." Ginny said blushing at what she had just said.

"Like what? Ginny he's been a prat to us ever since he met us." Harry asked.

"Well, we know why he was so mean...and that reason is just plain sad, and if you think about it...if that hadn't of happened he'd probably still be a complete jerk. In my opinion he's lucky to have Luna help guide him into the right direction." she replied smiling softly.

"I guess you do have a point, and I think that it also has to do with his little 'cronies' being gone, he feels he has no one to follow him." Harry added which made Ginny nod.

"I wonder where Hermione and Ron went off to..." Ginny muttered.

"They wanted to talk to Professor Lupin about something I can't remember what, but who cares...we finely got some alone time." Harry said quietly and rolled over so she was on top of him, he moved his head forward and kissed her lips as he ran his fingers through her fiery red hair.

"Mmm...I love you Harry." Ginny said as she rested her head on Harry's chest.

~Hogwarts (Slytherin Dungeons)~

Snape had finely gotten done teaching his last class for the Saturday, he let out a grunt of frustration as he pushed the door open.

Today wasn't as long as the usual week days in which he had more classes to teach but today, it just seemed so long.

Plus the fact he had to go to Hogsmead later tonight and get something for Lupin, which he didn't see why the werewolf couldn't go send someone else to fetch his books on 'Werewolves' from the town library, but he had made an agreement that he had to lend some of the book's information to Draco if he ever needed it, which Lupin had almost instantly agreed.

Though Severus was also getting quiet skittish, the Dark Lord could make his move at any moment of month, week, day, night and he didn't know if he would be ready for that to happen yet, he just wanted Draco to be safe.

'Then again...nowhere is safe anymore...' Snape reminded himself as he made his way up to his personal chambers.

The other reason was because he didn't agree with the headmaster that Potter was ready for this either, he had so many people valuable to him that could be used as leverage against him, but the old wizard had simply said;

'It's all he has Severus, what he strives for, that's what keeps Harry going he and mister Malfoy are much alike they both try to get the attention and the love they didn't have at a young age, maybe Draco searches harder than Harry but still...you have many connections as well...you just need to find them...and come out of the dark...you need to stop being afraid.'

After he had said that to him he simply replied by storming out of the room leaving the old man in the room by himself.

Snape came to the door leading to his bedroom and paused as he gripped the handle realization suddenly hit him as he realized what Dumbledore had meant by saying those words to him earlier today.

He gave a sigh and shook his head before pushing the thick and heavy wooden door open and was surprised to see Nymphadora sitting on the foot of his bed reading a book on potions that helped with nauseousness, Snape cleared his throat and she jumped slight before looking up at him her pink hair jerking up slightly from the sudden quick movement, then resting back on her shoulders.

"Can I help you with something?" He asked in that calm yet eerie voice.

"No, I was just looking for you." She said smiling at him.

"Why were you looking for me?" Snape asked raising an eyebrow.

"I wanted to tell you something. That's why." She said with a laugh.

Snape just rolled his eyes and sat down beside her.

"I wanted to know why you were so upset earlier." She stated.

"My business is none of your concern."

The young woman shook her head and leaned closer to him.

"You need to get my cous off your mind, you need to realize that hes growing up, you can't protect him forever. You also need to let more people in, your not alone you know." She said softly and afterword placing a kiss on his lips that were still slightly chapped from this previous winter.

"Whose to say that Draco's on my mind Nymphadora?" Snape said calmly.

Her pink hair suddenly turned to a fiery red. "Don't call me Nymphadora!" she snapped earning a chuckle from Snape.

"Anyways...that's what always seems to be on your mind. Draco's safety. Whether you'll admit it to me or anyone else or not it is plainly obvious that you love him. Hes so close to you and you adore that, you feel the need to help him." She stated in a sarcastic voice saying that she knew what he was up to.

"Obviously." Snape muttered making Nymphadora laugh.

~Hogsmead (Alley)~

"Luna, go..." Draco whispered quietly.

"No I won't abandon you...we'll do it together." Luna said quietly and gave Draco's hand a small squeeze, which earned her a small nod from her boyfriend.

The large black colored werewolf let out a furious snarl and ran at the two teens and Draco frowned and pointed his wand at Roman.

"Defodio!" he said in a calm yet again angry voice.

Roman howled in pain as deep gouges appeared randomly on its body causing blood to pour out of the deep wounds.

Roman picked up a large rather large rock and hurled it at Luna who rose her wand up and whispered, "Protego." and the rock fell to the ground away from her.

"Everte Statum!" Draco said rather loudly and Roman went flying back.

Luna aimed her wand at the flying werewolf and a blue light erupted from her as she said, "Stupefy." and it hit the werewolf in the chest and he was knocked completely unconscious as he landed on a sharp object which impaled him through the chest, thus killing the werewolf man instantly as he transformed back to normal.

Draco looked up suddenly when he heard a voice calling his name, when he looked up he saw his father standing there with a look of surprise on his face.

"Draco? Are you okay?" He asked quietly as he kneeled next to his son who had sunk to his knees.

Draco gave a small nod and stared at his father's concerned face then at the dead body of Roman Pyres.

"You okay?" Lucius asked looking at Luna.

"Yes sir." Luna said with a smile, "I think your son might have a case of Wrackspurts...he doesn't look too good."

Lucius raised an eyebrow before shaking his head. "I don't know what those are miss..." Lucius trailed off as he realized he didn't know this young woman's name. "I'm sorry, what is your name?"

"Luna! Luna Lovegood." the young blond said with a completely innocent smile.

This confused Lucius greatly, he was trying to get over his prejudice ways but he had to admit he didn't understand why is son would be dating a girl this wacky, that is if he was dating this girl, he knew he was dating a girl he had heard that but he didn't know who it was.

"Come Draco, let's get back up to the castle...it will be time to leave Hogwarts and back...'home' or now Severus' home for the summer. We need to pack. As does miss Lovegood, as I had heard Severus was having another person staying with us at his house." Lucius explained.
