The Malfoy Manor

1. Malfoy Manor

"Where are we going?" asked a calm voice which sounds utterly out of ordinary to the two cloaked figures. 

"Don't be so placid and easy-going, girl!", one of the cloaked figures snapped back in a gruff voice.

Despite circumstances that might elicit agitation, Luna Lovegood appeared to be with a contented mind and unruffled spirit. Her protuberant eyes squinted at the pair of wrought-iron gates at the foot of what looked like a long driveway. Upon nearing it, the solid iron start to contort and twist itself out of the abstract curls and coils into a frightening face which spoke in a reverberating tone: "State your purpose!"

"Mission Accomplished! We've captured Luna Lovegood." said the same gruff-like voice but in a more monotonous tone. 

The gates swung open and Luna was instantly shunted through the gates which closed at once. She started to make her way up the drive in between high-hedges. She knows perfectly that she got no choice but to enter into the huge magnificent mansion that grew out of the darkness at the end of the straight driveway. 

 At the doorstep stood a suited figure with sleek blond hair and a pale, pointed sneering face. 

"Hello, there! You are Draco Malfoy, right? The Slytherin guy?" 

"Get inside, quick! he bellowed. "I am in charge to escort you down to the dungeons." 

"Oh, thank you" Luna replied kindly.

Draco smirked. "You think you are going to spend a nice vacation here?" he asked sarcastically while glancing closely at Luna for the first time. He noticed the tiny cute sunflower tucked behind her ear which complemented to her bright yellow dress. In the dark austerity of the house, she was a splash of color. Luna felt like being X-Rayed by his glances. He was eyeing Luna with great interest when he noticed that she was holding a strangely colorful magazine. 

"It's the Quibbler", Luna said at once. Draco threw a bewildered look at her. "Oh I reckon I would not be bored if I carried this around." 

Draco smirked again. "You really think you're going to be on a vacation or..." He interrupt as they had already reached down the stairs to the dungeons. "Ah, here we are!" He grabbed Luna's hand and shunted her inside. "Wish you an enjoyable imprisonment days, Looney girl", he said sarcastically and slammed the door.
