The Clock and the Moon

by Akiwa

What happens when the moon changes time? What happens when a prophesy is fufilled? Luna Lovegood and... (who's the mystery man?) Will their love survive? (this is a test-the-waters kind of story so don't be surprised if I don't finish it)

Chapter 1: The Prophesy

As the moon waxes

So will it wane.

The clock turns back

And forward again.

When such will happen,

True love will be born.

And all who look upon it

Shall show their scorn.

The girl pulls at her lip, thinking hard, and looks up from her book. She looks again at the words on page 456 of "Ancient Prophesies of the Ancient World". She slowly picks up her quill again and dips it in ink. She begins scribbling furiously on the parchment before her. She still has five more inches to write and wonders how she will ever fill that much space. "Merlin, this is hard.", she mutters. "Why did I ever take Advanced Divination?" She sighs. Thinking to herself and answering her own question, "You know why. You took it because of HIM…"

The girl's name (as we shall soon learn) is Luna Lovegood. But let us leave her for a moment and go back in time…
