Hey guys. Thank you all so much for the reads and the votes. Once again the characters are owned by J K Rowling..

Ginny's POV

I've finally made a friend. Her name is Luna Lovegood, she's a Ravenclaw. Funnily enough we became friends thanks to Malfoy. He's so irritating, him and his bloody bodyguards are like everywhere all the time. It's like I found a corner their there, I walk down a hall their there. Anyway I was walking down the hall, and of course if you can't tell already, Malfoy was standing in the middle of the hall, blocking Luna's way past.

"Loony is that what they call you. You oddball. What the hell are you wearing around your neck anyway? It's hideous, and what are they on your earrings?" He said whilst pointing and laughing at her.

"Their dirigible plums. My father grows them." Luna said. She has no idea around people, and she must not have understood or so I thought that he was making fun of her.

"Their what? Your father sounds even odder than you." By that time I'd lost it. Without a hesitation I stormed up to Malfoy, my wand pointing directly at his throat.

"Leave her alone." I say. I couldn't see myself but if I could, it'd be most likely an accurate guess if I was to say my face was extremely red with rage.

"Oh your a Loony protector now, are you?" He smirked at me. He probably thought I wasn't going to do anything. Cause let me guess, 'the youngest of the Weasley's, weak, Ron's little sister, can't protect herself, has to get her brothers to do it for her'. Boy he couldn't be more wrong.

"Call her that one more time Malfoy. And I swear to bloody God, you'll be running home to your father. But he won't be there will he? He'll be in Azkaban, for sucking up to Voldemort. He's not even here anymore, but your father is still doing dirty deeds for him..."

"Don't you dare Weasel. You don't know anything. You mudblood loving whore." That was it, the final straw. I draw my hand back fist clenched. And thinking I was letting him get away with it he turned and smirked at Crabbe and Goyle. Before he had a chance to react my fist had connected with his face. I swear to god, I've never seen a person run away so quickly in all my life or look so startled, but of course it took him a good few seconds to really take in what had happened to him. He's such a rat, or more a ferret, I don't know he reminds me of the two I guess.

I turned around after that and expected to be alone. But Luna was standing there.

"You didn't have to do that you know." She says looking timidly at the floor.

"Of course I did. He's an awful boy and he deserved it, nobody except him and some other slytherins deserve to get treated that way. Why didn't you say anything back?" I don't say it nastily to her, I ask it just out of curiosity. She just shruged her shoulders.

"You get used to it I guess. It happens to me a lot." I felt so sorry for her.

"Well as long as I'm around, it won't happen anymore." I smile at her, my smile is returned two folds bigger. "And by the way I love what your wearing, especially the jewellery." And if it was possible her smile grew even bigger. I wasn't lying to her either, I actually liked what she was wearing, all I ever wore was either, my brothers hand me down clothes or knitted items.

"I can make you a pair if you like." She says.

"I'd like that. By the way I'm Ginny Weasley."

"I'm Luna Lovegood. Does this mean were friends?"

"Yes. Yes it does."
