Far Away as Moonshine
Part I: Malfoy Manor

Chapter 1

Draco did not know what had possessed him to speak. He stared at his mother's hand on his arm as she dragged him up the corridor and wondered if he had just made a deadly mistake. To be so bold, so crass, so cruel as to discuss the giving and receiving of a prisoner as if she were a Christmas gift? Yet Bellatrix had been amused, rather than enraged. She had not cursed him. She had laughed; and Draco's father has looked down the long table with a hint of his old authority - which only ever manifested when the Dark Lord was absent - and had given the girl to Draco. Given him Luna Lovegood, so long as Draco kept her "out of the way" of the adults.
