After two long years, I have finally gotten my account back! Lesson to the wise, do not lose your passwords!
This is going to be a story I have wanted to write about for a long time. As you already know, it is a Harry Potter fanfic, revolving mainly around Luna Lovegood and Draco Malfoy. I will do everything in my power to update every day if possible. If I am late, please forgive me for my tardiness.
"You are never more alone than when you are surrounded by many."
Malfoy Manor
"I understand, father." Draco Malfoy spoke in a monotone voice, his head bowed slightly. Standing in the Ritual Room of Malfoy Manor, the younger Malfoy knew better than to disagree or argue with his father Lucius Malfoy. He had the scars to show what would happen if he were to disobey. Looking up, Draco visibly sighed in relief. It wasn't his father that he was worried about, and see the pleased grin on the Dark Lord Voldemort's face let him knew that they would remain to live another day.
"As you can see, my lord, our family lives to serve you." Lucius Malfoy swiveled to his master and gave an exaggerated bow, much to the invisible chagrin of Draco. He couldn't believe that his father, the man he used to consider his hero, is stooping so low to a psychopath in his own house! It took all of his willpower not to show any disgust, but instead feign adoration and loyalty. "My son will do what is told of him, I am sure of this."
"Is he?" Voldemort stared at Draco, like a coiled viper eying a mouse caught in a burrow. "I feel as though he does not have what it takes.." Voldemort was clearly toying with his audience, enjoying the sights of their quaking in fear. Lucius was indeed shaking, for he had fallen so far from grace to the Dark Lord. Draco knew that succession of this plot would bring the Malfoy family back into the Dark Lord's inner circle. Bellatrix Lestrange stood up, crowing out and raving.
"There is nothing to worry about, my Lord! I have taught Draco everything I know in the Dark Arts! We are all at your service!" The crazy woman got on her hands and knees enthusiastically, bringing her forehead to the ground. Voldemort chuckled with a sinister grin, but held up a hand to remind her to hold her tongue.
"I wish to hear it from the boy." He looked back to Draco expectantly.
"Yes my Lord, I will do as you command." Closing his eyes, he reopened them and stared directly at his oppressor. He stared at the fiend who had ruined his family's house and brought their name to ruin. He looked upon the psychopath who Draco believed was the reason why his mother is currently in bed, sick and constantly anxious. "I will kill Albus Dumbledore."
'I am going to make you regret everything you have done to my family.' Draco thought to himself, vowing that he would make Voldemort pay.
Lovegood House
"Father, have you seen my robe?" Luna Lovegood tore through her bedroom, looking for her Ravenclaw robe. The train for Hogwarts leaves tomorrow morning, and she could not be any more ill-prepared than she already was. Getting new robes is rather expensive, and the one she currently owned had already been enchanted to keep away the Nargles!
'Silly, silly Nargles..' Luna thought to herself, her face returning to it's dreamlike state as she lost all trains of thought besides those of magical creatures. 'Whatever their plan is, they will be stopped… Yes, they will be-' Her thoughts were cut short by the sound of her father answering.
"No, my little Luna. Have you looked under the dining room table? I know that you usually write in those journals..." Xenophilius Lovegood, the patriarch of the Lovegood family, continued to drone on as he typed away at the latest edition for the Quibbler. Ever since the death of his wife and Luna's mother, Pandora Lovegood, his mind had taken refuge behind the newspaper. Luna silently sighed as she walked over to the table and searched. They both missed Pandora greatly, her untimely death scarring them.
"Found it!" She called out, fishing the clothing article out from underneath wooden tiles the able sat upon. 'The pesky Nargles are are becoming more and more mischevious...' Luna thought to herself in a carefree fashion, skipping to her room and closing the door. Getting out her trunk, she began to pack all of her clothes, humming to herself as pleasant thoughts enraptured her mind.
"I wonder how my friends are… They must have had some great adventures when school ended. Maybe they found a Crumple-Horned Snorcack!" Squeeling to herself with excitement, she set a magical alarm to wake herself up in time to make the train.
Hope you guys liked this little teaser! I am going for a different kind of Draco, one that is not exactly Noble, but is actually smart and plans ahead. Please review!
