Chapter 10

Luna woke up groggily. Where was she? It looked like the dungeons but she wasn’t sure... One thing was sure, she was on the floor and she wasn’t alone. Luna sat up and looked around, she was in the potions classroom and Snape was sitting at his desk with a flask of butterbeer. She stood up and walked over to his desk.

“Professor?”

“You want to know what happened, but don’t ask me. I came into my classroom and you were passed out on the floor and this bottle of butterbeer was left with a note,” Snape told her.

Luna read the note warily. It said;

Luna,

I’m sorry; I was going to prank you but... I felt bad and put you somewhere you would be safe when you woke. Let’s call a truce.

It wasn’t signed but Luna instantly knew who it was and smiled to herself, “it’s safe to drink professor.”

“If you’re sure,” Snape said, seeming unusually cheery. He poured the butterbeer into two separate cups and Luna gratefully downed hers in one gulp. It tasted odd... delicious but, different. Luna’s head started to spin and she put these thoughts aside although she was still very light-headed and giddy. She filled her cup again. Snape did the same and an uncanny smile spread across his usually grim face. Luna hiccupped, once then again and again. She giggled at her hiccupping as Snape chugged the rest of the butterbeer.

Luna woke for the third time that day, with a migraine. She sat up and took in her surroundings. She was in the Potions classroom still... what had happened? She remembered drinking the butterbeer but nothing after that. Then she realized something, something that made her shriek:

She was naked.

And so was Snape.

She screamed, causing Snape to quickly wake up. He looked stunned for a minute; Snape looked her over then looked at himself. He screamed. Luna quickly hid behind the desk, looking around frantically for her clothes. She was trying very hard not to look at Snape... she had already seen a lot more of him than she wanted. She was definitely going to have nightmares about this... Her clothes were next to Snape and she averted her eyes as she ran across the room to grab them. Luna scurried back behind the desk and pulled her clothes on as Snape tried to find his. When the two were finally clothed they allowed themselves to breathe and think about how this could have happened.

“We can’t remember a thing, and ended up... erm... naked next to each other,” Snape said, “this is definitely the result of alcohol.”

“W-we got drunk?” Luna questioned.

Snape nodded, “It was probably the butterbeer, but who spiked the drink...?”

“It was Draco!” Luna exclaimed hysterically, “he was getting me back for the hamster!”

“...hamster? You know what, I don’t want to know,” Snape said exasperatedly.

“That must be it! I’m part of this stupid prank war! I shouldn’t have trusted Draco, don’t trust Draco, kill Draco,” Luna mumbled insanely to herself.

Snape was a little afraid of her and a lot more afraid that someone would find out he had gotten drunk with a student... People did crazy things when they were drunk... how far did he and Luna go? They did wake up naked together after all... Snape shuddered at the thought.

Luna was still muttering crazed sentences about killing Draco and Snape thought it best if she left. After being kicked out of the potions room, Luna didn’t head to her dorm but to the Gryffindor common room. She really needed Ginny and Hermione.

“Evil. Prank. Butterbeer. Snape. Drunk. Naked. Kill.” Luna muttered when Hermione opened the portrait for her.

“Um... Luna? Are you okay?” She asked worriedly.

Ginny approached them and instantly saw that there was a problem, “my dorms empty, let’s go.”

Luna explained everything and was near tears by the time she finished. Hermione and Ginny both were ready to kill Draco for her and they agreed that they’d corner him the next day at diner. After comforting Luna and making plans to get Draco back (which also seemed to cheer Luna up) she finally went back to her own dorm and fell into an uneasy sleep. Unfortunately, even sleep didn’t save her from Draco’s evil prank war. In her dream she was sleeping curled up next to an unnamed figure. He kissed her neck, slowly working his way to her lips. She smiled and opened her eyes to see who it was. She was looking at the handsome face of Draco Malfoy who leaned in to kiss her. Luna smiled and leaned into the kiss but when his lips were an inch from hers, he morphed into Professor Snapes sneering face. Suddenly they were both naked and Draco was looking down at them smirking and holding a bottle of butterbeer. Luna woke up, covered in sweat and panting.

The next day wasn’t much better; every little thing sent her into a panic attack. She couldn’t take Snape seriously anymore and if anyone even mentioned Butterbeer, she felt nauseous. She didn’t know how much more of this she could take. Eventually diner rolled around and Hermione and Ginny stuck to their word. They met Luna at the Ravenclaw table and headed toward the Slytherin house to confront Draco. As soon as Draco caught sight of the three very angry girls he started to sweat... it didn’t help that they all had their wands out.

“We know what you did,” Hermione stated.

“W-what I did?” Draco questioned nervously.

Ginny rolled her eyes, “don’t play dumb with us, blondie.”

Luna glanced at Ginny sharply, “what’s wrong with blondes?”

“Your one to talk, ginger,” Draco retorted, ignoring Luna.

Ginny flushed, “Stop getting off topic!”

“Yes, stop getting off topic. Draco, we just wanted to let you know that we know what you did and you’re going to pay for it,” Hermione said, seething.

Draco gulped, “...I-I have no idea what you’re talking about...”

“I know that you spiked our butterbeer Draco, I also know that you deliberately gave the butterbeer to Professor Snape of all people and that somehow you knocked me out and dragged me into the potions room,” Luna told him, her small hands curled into fists.

Draco’s eyes widened, “oh,” was all he said.

Hermione cleared her throat, “Malfoy, how did you do it?” The two girls shot confused glances at her; they were here to intimidate, not question him.

“I’m just curious,” Hermione defended.

“It wasn’t that difficult honestly,” Draco said, a slight smirk back on his face, “While playing with her hair the other day in the Great Hall, I slipped a potion that I’d been working on into her pumpkin juice. The potion would make her very sleepy until, around an hour after she took it, she would fall asleep. I waited for her when she left the potions classroom to see if it had taken affect. She fell asleep and I dragged her back to the potions room, knowing that Snape would have a free period at that time. Then, while she was still sleeping, I told Snape that I’d found her asleep in the corridor and carefully placed a bottle of butterbeer next to his desk when he wasn’t looking.

The butterbeer of course, was spiked with a heavy alcohol. The prank was only intended to make Luna act like a drunken idiot in front of professor Snape but when he drank the butterbeer too, it made the prank ten times better,” Draco smirked, “I left after you stripped, I noticed that Snape was starting to take off his clothes as well and that wasn’t a sight that I wanted to see...”

“Wait! You left after I took off my clothes? So you-you saw me... naked!?” Luna questioned hysterically.

Draco smirked again and waggled his eyebrows suggestively, “unlike your weird personality, you have a very nice body.”

Luna blushed so much that she was sure she’d be seen from space. Ginny and Hermione both had their wands aimed at Draco’s face and his smirk disappeared.

“What did you say, Malfoy?” Ginny growled.

“Nothing,” he squeaked out, cowering away from her wand. She was an expert at the bat-bogey hex and that was one thing that Draco did not want to experience again.

“You are so going to get it Malfoy,” Hermione said lividly.
