Druna! With a bit of Hinny.


"I don't see why you're in such a bad mood." Luna Lovegood said lightly, cutting out a shape in the cardboard she had brought into the lounge room. "I mean, it's Autumn. And Halloween." She turned her head to smile brilliantly at her husband.

Draco Malfoy rolled his eyes and crossed his arms as he watched his son and two step sons help his wife cut out the leaves. "Well, if you're going to do that, why don't you use magic?" He asked.

"That would ruin the fun." Luna said simply, reaching over to help her step son draw the outline of a leaf. "Very good Scorpius." The eleven year old boy turned around and smiled at his step mother.

"Mummy, does this look right?" One of the eight year old twins, Lysander, asked as he held up a shape that was supposed to be a leaf, but looked more like a circle with a dint.

"Perfect, Ly." Luna said, taking the 'leaf' and putting it on the pile of cut out leaves. "I think that's enough, boys." Luna announced, pulling her wand from behind her ear and waving it, paint and fabric floating into the room. "Now to work on your costumes. We have to remember to add in bottle caps, to keep the Nargles away."

"Yes mummy." The twins nodded while Scorpius gave her a strange, but curious, look.

"Trick or treat!" Four voices cried when Harry Potter opened his front door on the night of Halloween. He laughed when he saw who it was. The Lovegood-Malfoy family.

"Wow, look at your costumes!" He exclaimed as one of the twins run over and gave Uncle Harry a hug.

Draco had been made into a Vampire, and looked very convincing with his arms crossed and a bored, yet annoyed, look on his face. Luna was dressed as differently as she could. She wore a short strapless golden brown dress that reached to her mid thigh which had cardboard shapes which sort of looked like leaves. They were enchanted to float around her. Her hair was messy and littered with real leaves and twigs. "Hello Harry." Luna said happily. "Happy Halloween."

"Happy Halloween." Harry grinned. "Would you like to come in? Ginny's making dinner." Harry laughed again as the boys ran into the house. Luna smiled at the two men before following her children into the house.

Harry watched her go before turning back to Draco. "So... A vampire, huh." He tried to stifle another laugh, and failed.

Draco glared at his sort of friend. "It was Luna's idea. She's a total loon."

"You married her." Harry teased, making room for Draco to walk in the door. Draco rolled his eyes and Harry closed the door behind him.

"Yes I did." If Harry listened carefully, he could hear the affection and amusement in Draco's voice. "And I haven't regretted it." He smiled.

"Speaking of Luna." Harry frowned thoughtfully. "What is she dressed as?"

Draco shrugged. "Autumn."

"What about Autumn?" Harry asked. The blond shrugged again.

"She just said she's going as Autumn." He paused on his way to find his wife and turned to Harry. "One thing I've learnt this past year of marriage to Luna is to never question her. She is always right."

"And you better remember it." A light voice said as Autumn floated over to the two men, Ginny giggling as she followed her friend.


Of course it was going to be a Druna fic! Do you even know me?
