This is going to include two chapters. I was thinking about making it a One-Shot but I feel like it is better to depart it in two chapters.

Chapter 1

'Mummy, can I watch? Please?'

Luna looked at her mother pleading, who hesitated. 'Fine, sweetheart, if you do what I say and don't touch anything.'

Luna beamed, and jumped after her mum. 'Once I'm at school,' she said happily, 'people will admire me for you, mum. Who else has a mother with those ideas?'

Mrs Lovegood laughed and poked her daughter, then she pushed the door open and took out her wand, drawing a chair for her daughter.

'There you go,' she said, smiling, 'but please stay in your seat, okay?'

Luna nodded eagerly.

Her mother started arranging some of her ingredients, prepared her couldron and lay her wand on the table, then turned to the closet, searching for something.

The closet was so full, that when you opened it you had to be careful nothing would fall out. Carefully, Luna's mum rearranged some of the glasses, filled with all sorts of herbs; an empty jar fell to the ground, with a loud smash.

'Ops,' she said, still smiling, and reached for her wand.

'Are you experimenting again?,' Luna's dad called from the living room.

Luna's mother quickly evanescoed the shards. 'No!,' she called back, twinkling at her daughter, who started to giggle.

'Now,' Pandora said as she had everything together. 'Luna, this is rather dangerous.'

'Mum, you promised I could watch!'

'I didn't say you couldn't. Anyway, honey, I want you to listen to me very carefully. If something starts getting weird, you get out, okay? You'll go straight to dad, will you?'

Luna nodded, hesitating.

'And if I tell you to leave the room, you will do that immediatley, understand?'

Luna nodded. Her mother told her that plenty of times; always when she was experimenting, Luna had to promise her she'd be reasonable.

'Good girl.' Her mother stroked her hair.

'Mum, what is it you plan to do?'

Her mother smiled. 'It's a surprise. You'll see. I've worked on it for days, and I hope it will work. You will like it.'

Luna beamed and started squirming on her chair in anticipation.

'Get started, then!,' she said.

And she got started.

VVVV

BAM. Luna flinched. There was a big cloud of steam, her mother started to cough. Luna's heart beat faster. This was no good...

'Mummy?,' she whispered. No answer, just a loud cough. And then, Pandora break down on the floor.

Luna got frantic. 'MUM?'

'Out, Luna!,' her mother panted. 'GET TO THE DOOR!'

Luna's legs were trembling as she hurried to the door. 'Mum?,' she said, shaking.

Pandora's voice was quite soft when she spoke. Luna could barely see her through the dust that filled half of the room. 'I love you, Luna.'

Luna swallowed hardly. 'I'll get dad,' she whispered, but didn't move, 'we'll get you to the hospital... They will sort it out...'

'Tell him I love him,' her mother croaked. 'You're a good girl, Luna... the best.'

Luna saw one tear over her mother's face, and then, she turned silent, the coughing ceased, and slowly, she stopped breathing.

'Mum?,' she whispered. 'No, mum, please!'

Luna couldn't move. The steam got more and more, but she didn't care. She started to cry. 'MUM!'

No answer.

'Mum, wake up, please wake up!'

She didn't care about the horrible smell in the room, she ran over to her mother's body, and almost reached it, feeling the sour smoke in her throat, it almost knocked her off her feet, but she didn't care. 'Mum! Wake up! Please!,' she shrieked a last time, a last glimpse on her mother, before she felt getting carried back by the hands of her father. She tried to struggle herself out of his arms, but he held her back.

Luna shouted desperatley, but his father closed the door shut and dragged her out of the house, into the fresh air.
