Luna looked around,her wide eyes filled with curiosity.
"Mama?" she asked. "Where are you?"
She turned the corner, skipping around the wall. Pandora Lovegood tore her eyes away from the potion she was brewing. Pandora always was making a new something or other. She looked lovingly at her young daughter.
"One second sweetheart" she said.
But she was distracted.
"Enerverrate" she whispered, her wand pointing at the potion.
The potion rose up like a wave. The golden cauldron it was brewing in exploded. Luna's eyes widened. She gasped and backed up in a hurry.
"MOVE!" Pandora cried.
But in a split second, Luna's mother was capsized in the explosion.
"I love you," she managed to gasp out, before her heart stopped.
"MAMA!!! MAMAAAAA!!!" Luna cried. "Wake up, wake up!"
Luna fell to the ground in tears. Xenophilius heared her cries. He came bursting in. He saw her body. He gasped.
"PANDORA!" He shouted.
He too fell to the ground, hugging his daughter.
"It's going to be okay." He whispered to Luna.
But it wasn't. It never was going to be okay anymore.
