“Luna, please,” Draco beseeched her. “If there’s sothing I should know—” He clamped his mouth shut, unable to finish the sentence. He didn’t have any right to ddle in Potter’s life anymore.

“You really care about him, don’t you?” Luna said, tilting her head.

Draco said nothing, while his gaze was fixed on the floor. They both stayed silent for a while, until Luna got up and started rummaging through a pile of magazines on her desk.

“Did Harry ever tell you about his childhood?” she asked.

“How his bloody Muggle relatives starved him?” Draco grumbled. “He did.”

Luna nodded. “It’s more than that, though.”

Draco’s eyes widened. What else did they do to him?

“Did he tell you they made him sleep in a cupboard?”

“WHAT?”

“Yeah. They treated him in such an awful way. It still makes sad.”

“Those bastards! Thank Merlin he got away from them,” Draco muttered, rage still coursing through him.

“That’s the point, though, isn’t it? He didn’t really get away from them.”

“What do you an?”

“It’s part of him, what they did all those years ago. It shaped the person he’s bee and he’s obviously still haunted by it, even if he may not realise it. He thinks he doesn’t deserve anything, he always puts others first because he thinks that’s how it should be…He has no sense of self-worth.”

Luna seed to have found what she was looking for. She sat down beside Draco, several magazines in her hand. “I don’t like how he unconsciously punishes himself over and over for sothing that isn’t even his fault,” she said quietly. “And things like these aren’t helping.”

She handed Draco the magazines with an uncharacteristically serious expression. The only magazine he recognised was Witch Weekly. The issue was about a year old. Draco almost choked as he looked at the cover, at the headline in bold red letters.

Plump Potter! The Boy Who Lived…to let himself go!

Draco’s mouth dropped open. His eyes quickly scanned the other two.

Inside the Chosen One’s unhealthy lifestyle!

Harry Potter—From heartthrob to sad slob!
