Cupid

[2]

Draco bellowed also punched at Crabbe and Goyle to wake up, with his last blow the sleeping giants finally arose. As they realise the bloody beat up girl in our compartment, they bolted upright straightening their shirts strangely becoming more gentlemen like. As Draco profitably completed his task he slumped back down towards the seat, I allowed the girl in my seat while I cleaned her up. I notice that Draco's cheeks were a salmon color, you may think that it was impossible to spot. Well Draco has really pale skin he could get away with being a ghost, even the Bloody Baron got confused on our first year of Hogwarts.

Sweat quickly inched on my skin, how did I think that I could heal her? It can't be that terrible right? I curled my sleeves and searched for hidden cuts, I was about to pull up her shirt until I realised that three pair of eyes were watching. I whipped my head around to see instantly everyone became interested in their shirts, yeah this isn't going to work. "Come on girly, let's move somewhere else." I started to walk down the hall searching for another compartment either empty or with females at least. Abbot, Parkinson, Bones finally Lovegood.

Luna or better known as Loony Lovegood is only a year younger than me and is a Ravenclaw. I mistaken her for Draco's relative when I saw her being called forward for the Sorting. She has silvery pale eyes full of oddity, white skin like white as paper and golden locks freely flowing around her face. She sits quietly reading The Quibber, it irritates me how the Quibber was made. Why flip the book upside down to read an article? Anyway you really can't find an excuse since Luna's father, Xenophilius Lovegood, is the editor of the peculiar magazine. I pounded against the door trying to capture her attention, "uhm Luna is it okay if we?"

"Of course, don't mind me. Did you know the Murtlap is a marine beast resembling a rat with a growth on its back resembling a sea anemone." I smiled agonisingly, Luna went back to reading The Quibber I slipped in with the girl behind me. I hauled her shirt up, the cuts aren't impossible to fix however they need something more than bandages. I looked up to see the girl panicking, I wasn't known for being the comforting type however this was different. I could feel the worry in her movement, every time I put my hand near her she stiffens into statue mode. Especially near the neck, when I tried to pull up her hair she nearly collapsed into Luna's lap. I had the need to start a conversation, "so what's your name? Mines Cupid Selwyn, the boys in the compartment over there are Crabbe, Goyle and Malfoy." I could see her analyising whether or not to answer, the awkward silence filled the air. Then finally she sighed and drooped her head.

"I know who you guys are, who doesn't your the most popular Slytherins in the school. Whereas I, no one notice me. Even when I'm in your year, in your classes I'm still invisible." Well that was sincere, I couldn't believe she was in my year however I've never seen her before. I tried to recall any moment I've seen this girl, now I remember. Crabbe, Goyle and I were going to meet Draco at Potions however I bumped into this kid on the way. My I say I was in second year so I was interchanging a lot between friendly and evil. So when this kid crashed into me, I hollered at her whether she was blind or an imbecile puny girl. Basically I threw insults and some hexes at her, but I never knew that girl was the same girl who got into a punch up with someone.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to-uhm-just don't take it personal. I've changed since, I was just influenced by Draco I promise." The girl shook her head in irk, "is that your excuse? That you were influenced by Malfoy? You were lying on his sleeping arse when I stumbled in, you have been hanging around him everyday. Yet this is your excuse? Pathetic really, you Slytherins are manky knob heads." Every word I could feel a jerk of guiltiness ascent through my chest, I've been hanging around Draco for so long I've completely gone blindsided. That really isn't an excuse, still he was the only person who I've became friends with. However I knew I had to risk something to conquer this new chapter in my life. Unfortunately it was Draco.
