A/N Another Draco/Luna-ish fic for you!
This will be a multi chapter, hopefully not too long, though.
The next chapter may not be as long as this one.
This should be interesting.
I hope you like it and come back for more!
My summary isn't too great, it doesn't really describe the story, but oh well.
It'll do for now.
The laws and the creatures I'm making up as I go along.
I need reviews please? :(

Luna sat on a green arm chair next to the fire, poking it every once in a while. She and her father had been staying at an inn after the downfall of Voldemort and Xeno's release from Azkaban. The death eaters had burned their home to the ground, so they had no where to go. The Weasley's would've taken them in if they'd had any room to spare. Since they didn't however, Xenophilius tried pleading with the Ministry to allow him to rebuild his home, but they considered the place evidence in the trial against Voldemort's followers. As such, it could not be tampered with. The man sat alongside his daughter with his head propped in his hand. "Oh, don't worry," she said "I'm sure we'll get one of those permits." Luna patted his shoulder. The permit to which she was referring could be described as a magical building permit of sorts. The law stated that the Ministry must be notified and must grant permission before a witch or wizard could be allowed to magically construct a building of any kind. Of course, this involved a bit of paperwork.

Xeno sighed, "I believe so too, Luna." the older man smiled. He had, in fact, acquired a property in Wiltshire, they were only waiting on the Ministry to send word that it would be alright to build on it. Until then, they'd be stuck in this slightly shabby inn with a bit of Xeno's editortial work for the Quibbler piling up around them. Luna didn't mind all the lunacy, for the lack of a better word. To her, it felt somewhat like a very boring adventure. She liked a bit more nature and forest, but this would do for the moment. The very observant girl knew it was just a matter of time and as they went off to sleep that night, she had a feeling it would be very soon, indeed.

The next morning, a beautiful owl awoke the younger Lovegood by tapping against the window of their room. Luna answered by opening it and letting the owl in. An envelope with a seal on the back, keeping it closed was tied to the bird's foot. She carefully took it and he flew back out, scattering the many loose papers with a flap of his wings. Xenophilius was awakened by the unsettlement. "What's that?" he asked, hoping it would be what he thought. Luna saw the expectant look and nodded. It was from the Ministry. She handed over the envelope, he opened it and read;

"Dear Mr. Lovegood,

Your request to build a home in Wiltshire has been approved by our board. You may begin construction as soon as you see fit. All of the necessary paper work is included with this document.

Regards, Magnus Miffrey,
Ministry of Magic, Department of Magical Permitting, Enviornment, and Regulatory Affairs."

There was another piece of paper with all of the specifics written folded behind the short note. Luna clapped her hands together. She couldn't wait to see their new home once it was finished. She even felt like dancing. Now that they had their permit, they could go and purchase the materials. "Gather your stuff, Luna. Let's go right now!" Xenophilius said, his smile spreading from ear to ear. He rushed around, picking up what clothes he had and threw them into a bag while charming all of the papers to make a neat stack. Luna did the same. When they were all packed, they didn't waste any time checking out and leaving the inn.

Xeno rushed to get everything they would need, then apparated them to the land he had gotten in Wiltshire. The first thing Luna noticed was black points in the distance over the trees. She made a mental note to go exploring in the woods and find out what they were. For the moment, Xenophilius was charming all of the wood, brick, and tin to do their jobs.

"What made you decide to move here?" Luna asked, curious. She knew her father always had his reasons.

He winked down at her, "I was informed that there may be Single Eyed Cadrakes living in these woods somewhere. If I could get a picture of at least one for The Quibbler... It would change everything!" He explained, getting even more excited than he had been as he spoke. The Cadrakes lived underground of course, but he knew he could find them. Their mating call was quite distinctive and Xeno had just realized that their mating season was close.

Luna nodded, agreeing. That did make sense. "I think I would like to go searching." She told him, sure that she could find a Single Eyed Cadrake in no time, though they were notoriously elusive.

"Go on," Xeno said, eager to go searching for them himself, "I'll just stay and oversee the finishing of this." he sighed. Luna left her things with him and headed off into the woods until the sound of construction was left in the distance.

Deeper into the heavily wooded area, she picked her way over large tree roots with her eyes firmly glued to the ground. She was looking for the distinctive trails left by the Cadrake. There were many interesting things on the woodland floor, like bright blue mushrooms and many toads living under rocks. She never found any Cadrake trails though, or even hints of one. So, finally, after an hour of walking, Luna looked up in exasperation at the sunlight filtering down upon her through the trees' foliage "I suppose I won't find them today." She resigned herself to that fact. Then, she remembered the black points. What were those things? Maybe the tips of a Hareclops' giant ears?

She guessed that she was going in the right direction towards them, so she resumed her trek, this time keeping her eyes forward. After what seemed like an awfully long time, she spied a green wall and ran up to it.

As she got closer, the trees started thinning out. The wall was made of tall hedges located in a courtyard. Looking up, she noticed that there were white peacocks walking along the tops. Unusual. She thought, noting that she had never seen anything like it before. Then, Luna noticed the huge black spire-like pointed roofs rising up from the huge mansion and concluded that they must have been what she saw from far away, though she was slightly disappointed they weren't exactly what she had assumed.

There was some kind of magic shielding her from going any closer, but she knew from her memories exactly where she was. This was the home of the Malfoys. She remembered her time in their cellar, not fondly, but it had been an interesting experience. She remembered the seemingly gigantic door which opened to a hallway that lead to their drawing room. It was really quite an amazing place, even as dark as it was. In the sunlight, it seemed to give off a darkness radiating from within the walls. She decided it was more like the obscurity of night, beautiful in it's own way, instead of the sinister color of evil.

Suddenly, the large door she'd been staring at swung open.

Draco Malfoy strode out onto the steps in his matching black suit.

Luna thought he looked as if he was going to attend a party. She hated feeling like she was spying or something, so she made a sound in order to get his attention. It worked. He looked up and around until his eyes landed on the blonde haired girl, waving like mad. I know you. He thought. He lifted the magical barrier around the mansion as he made his way towards her.
