Thank you to roma_fics for the read over and to nicbemused for getting me to originally writing "LoCo" stories. I believe they are quickly becoming comfort food for my muse.

Summary: Some days Draco looks around himself and sees a school in chaos, and he seeks something that will bring him comfort and give him strength.
Her calm peculiarity heartened him in a way that the students’ brash rebellion couldn’t. He didn’t know why; she’d probably blame the pheromones of storklepinks.
He watched her twirl her ponytail, reading news from a paper he’d once called rubbish. Nowadays – he knew – only her father really printed the truth. He’d heard the Carrows grumbling about the trouble Xenophilius was towards the Lord’s cause.
“Luna,” he wanted to whisper, “becareful.” But he didn’t dare; Malfoys weren’t high on the list of favorites, either.
So, Draco kept his silence. He watched through cautious eyes, gaining strength through her quiet oddity.
