Authors notes//

OK, so I haven't decided how long I want this fic to be, but, in advance, I'm warning you all that my Blaise Zabini is the "tanned Italian" that he was before J.K.R Re-established the fact that he was actually "tall black boy with high cheekbones and long, slanting eyes." So, keep that in mind ok?

The sixth novel isn't relevant in this, and so, neither is the seventh. I don't own the characters; I don't claim to own them –though some of their behaviour may be slightly off, so forgive me.

REVIEW PEOPLE. I like people who review; it makes me feel like I'm doing some good.

Broken, she was broken, on the cold stone floor tears falling. Blood spattered and dripping from the wall and her cheek, not all of it was hers. Most of it though was. A deep gash ran down the right side of her face and would leave a scar if it wasn't attended to soon, it probably would anyway. It would be a painful reminder of what had just happened. It wasn't the first time either. He'd left with a muttered swear and a glare at the sobbing girl. He didn't care, not now, not anymore.

She sobbed softly curling into a ball slightly on the ice cold stones of the floor the cold was rather refreshing actually mixed with the warmth of her blood seeping down her cheek, yes, very nice. She took a harsh shuddering breath as her eyes started to adjust to having tears in them, she didn't understand why though… She didn't even remember crying, just dry throat scratching sobs that caused her breath to hitch in her chest in a most painful way.

The small blonde girl struggled to sit up glancing around she saw the blood on the wall, her cracking voice whispered "Scourgify" as she pointed her wand at the wall, the blood vanished and she whimpered. Some of it was his; she had to admit when he'd struck her cheek so harshly her nails had done a rather nasty job to his arm. She glanced at her hands then, blood covered fingertips and some flakes of skin were visible under her nails, she felt sick, but at the same time somewhat proud. She felt weak again, she leant against the wall breathing heavily, she was dizzy, everything was fading, going black, dots appeared and she finally fainted into a heap on the floor.

A head poked into the room and a jaw dropped at the sight of the girl on the floor, the tanned figure that was Blaise Zabini walked into the room kneeling beside her limp body. He tilted her head to the side looking at the gash on her cheek, it was deep and bleeding still, a bruise was forming around it and he flinched at the sight of it.

"Lovegood?" His voice rang through the air of the empty room, it echoed slightly and he bit his lip. He could see she was still breathing, barely but she was. He took out his wand preparing to cast a levitating charm on her body, but he didn't trust himself, he thrust his wand back in his pocket and picked her up slowly. He looked down at her face again and started carrying her towards the Hospital Wing; it was a long way he knew that, they were in the dungeons after all… The Slytherin hurried through the corridors carrying the unconscious Ravenclaw not daring to stop to answer questions. He forced his way carefully through the crowds making sure not to harm her anymore than she already was.

Blaise looked at her again her hands too seemed bloody and he wondered if there'd been a fight? With who though? Who would want to harm the Ravenclaw? Who would want to harm Harry Potter's newest girlfriend besides the Slytherins? He knew it wasn't them, he'd of heard the plans by now, his house wasn't really good with secrets.

Suddenly he had a frantic Gryffindor practically chasing him down the hall, red hair, not a good sign. "What did you do to my friend?!" came the outraged voice of Ginevra 'Ginny' Weasley as she stopped him.

"I didn't do anything! She was unconscious in the dungeons when I found her!" He said as he roughly pushed past the red hair girl. He continued walking not bothering to wait and answer more questions. He was there. Finally! The hospital wing, he walked through the open door, it was being held open by some first year who was currently trying to exit through it. He carried the limp body to a bed laying her down as Madam Pomfrey came over.

"Oh my... What happened?" She demanded of the young Italian male. He shrugged slightly and looked towards Luna once more as the nurse started to examine her.

"I don't know madam, I found her on the floor of the dungeon unconscious… I brought her here as quickly as I could since I don't know any healing spells…" Blaise answered truthfully as the mediwitch nodded getting to the point quickly casting some healing charms on the wound on her cheek. The woman shook her head and looked at the dark, purple shade of the bruise, it looked like a fist had made that, she wasn't sure how such a perfect cut came from a fist but, that's what the bruise was from. The woman sighed and watched the girl for a moment she wasn't too pale, she'd probably fainted… She wouldn't know for a bit at least.

"Well, Mr. Zabini you can run along, I don't believe there's anything else you can do, she'll wake up soon I suspect, she probably just fainted…" Madam Pomfrey said nodding slowly as she looked over at the boy. "Though, it's a good thing you got her here, her breathing seemed rather laboured, I suspect she was in shock before she passed out…" The woman said nodding slowly as she glanced at the girls hands, she cast a quick spell and all the blood, and skin from under her nails was gone leaving them clean again.

Blaise nodded slowly and walked away slowly his head swimming with the possible ideas of what could have happened to Luna. He walked down the hall heading to the dungeons before bumping into Weasley again. "She's going to be fine… Pomfrey said she'd probably just passed out." He said before walking past the girl who nodded slowly taking in what he said before rushing towards the hospital to check on her friend for herself.

Luna awoke a few hours later Ginny at her side, her eyes flicked open and then shut straight away as the pain of the light came into her head and her headache returned. She groaned and slowly opened her eyes letting them adjust to the light now. "W-what happened?" She whispered her voice hoarse from lack of liquids over the hours she had been here.

Ginny grinned pouncing at her friend and enveloping her into a tight hug. "Oh Luna you're awake!" Ginny said over dramatically as she looked at her friend. "You've been unconscious for almost five hours now!"

"How'd I get here?" Luna asked as she sat up slowly wincing slightly before finally looking down at her fingers noticing the blood was gone, was that part a dream? A delusion? Probably not. Madam Pomfrey didn't allow Ginny to answer as she came over to examine her now awake patient.

"At last Miss Lovegood, you're awake excellent! Now what happened?" The woman asked as she prepared two potions for her patient. Luna went to start the conversation but she was cut off quickly. "Not yet, drink these first..." Madam Pomfrey said as she gave Luna the first potion, "that one will remove the headache. This next one is for the bruising…" The woman informed Luna as she prepared an extra potion for the girl. Luna drank the potions feeling sick from the taste but still managing to swallow the thick liquid that was a strange colour.

Luna looked to the nurse and smiled weakly. "Thank you…" She said before pausing, "How did I get here?" the girl repeated her question as she looked at both Ginny and Madam Pomfrey.

"Zabini, he carried you here… Said he found you in a dungeon unconscious" Ginny said before the nurse could answer. Ginny bit her lip waiting for her friend's reaction, she merely nodded and smiled.

"I shall have to thank him" Luna stated with a light nod, she was feeling much better now, the headache was gone, and her bruise had faded considerably, there was still a slightly dark tinge to her pale cheek and a slight scar as well, but she didn't notice. She wouldn't care.

"Now, after you tell me what happened we might be able to look into releasing you" Madam Pomfrey demanded slightly as she looked at the female who looked incredibly small in the large hospital bed.

"I don't really remember much about it, I remember crying and seeing blood I cleaned it off the wall," Luna paused, thinking "then I passed out and woke up here…" She said softly as she bit her lip she knew exactly why she was here, what had happened, but she couldn't tell. She wouldn't tell. The nurse nodded understanding that it could happen after a trauma.

"Fine, you can go, if you remember anything I suggest going to the headmaster, because whatever happened… Well, you didn't look too good when you came in…" The nurse accepted as she looked down at Luna again. Ginny was by her side looking at her friend no sure what to say in the situation but Luna grinned and bounced out of the bed quickly, probably not a good idea, but still. She stood up, steadying her balance before adjusting her clothes, she hadn't been changed while she was unconscious and she was glad she really couldn't be bothered changing at the moment.

Luna smiled and spun around feeling happy again, Ginny stood and stopped her friend from spinning by grabbing hold of her arm lightly. "Come on Luna... Don't wear yourself out before even escaping the hospital…" She laughed as she walked with her friend out of the room slowly leading her away from the hospital wing.

"It's such a lovely day; I can't believe I missed half of it being in the hospital…" Luna said as she looked around again smiling lightly. "Come on Ginny! Let's go outside!" She said grinning.

"Luna! How can you be so happy?! Someone attacked you!" Ginny said as she looked on in shock at her best friend. They'd been friends since Ginny's second year, Luna was the first friend she really had after the chamber incident and since then, they were practically inseparable.

"Well, karma will come back on them eventually. It's how the world works Ginny. Everything will be fine" the girl said her voice floating out slightly. She smiled and looked around. "Oh and remind me to thank Blaise Zabini after too… Yes, I simply must thank him!" Luna beamed nodding as she looked around again.

End chapter one. Hope everyone liked it. If you have any ideas for the fic, put them in a review and I might use them. The next chapter is written and will be up soon, but for now, REVIEW!
