Pass Out
He had been staring at the fire all day, waiting. He knew the time would come. The time to tell her. The bird shaped clock on the mantle peice showed the time to be eight o'clock. Suddenly the flames turned green and Mr Lovegood knew it was time. The truth was about to be told. He knew it would hurt her more than anything else had in her life. but there was nothing he could do about it. The truth is enevitable.
As the two blonde figures stepped out of his fire place, Xenophilius put on his usual pleasant smile, eventhough in this case it was completely fake, and welcomed his guests with the upmost coutesty. "Lucius. Narcissa. Welcome..." He said this with a slight nod of his head. He hated the way these people looked down their noses at everyone, particuarly him as he acted, dressed and decorated differently compared to others. Although when they gave him and his wife a daughter seventeen years ago it changed his view of them (slightly).
"Xenophilius." Lucius replied with the same nod of the head, however he did not return the warm smile he was being shown, while Narcissa looked around the room, which was very disorganised, with a look of extreme distaste. She could not believe Lucius had left their daughter in a place like this for so long.
"I assume you know why we are here?" She asked now showing the man wearing severely mismatched clothing in front of her the same distaste she did the house.
"I think I can guess." He replied morosely. "But I think you should know that she probably won't like what you're about to tell her." He showed her the same distaste she did him. At least her husband actually had the decency to treat him with some level of respect. He the walked over to the spiral stair case that lead to the second floor and shouted, "Luna, there are some people here who would like to talk to you." He did not mention who these people where, because he knew that if he did she would not come down.
"Ok, Daddy." Was the reply that was shouted back by a light dreamy voice that belonged to Luna Lovegood. And soon after the white blonde haired girl came skiping down the stairs and towards where the group was in a very odd fashion.
When she caught a glimpse of the people that wanted to 'talk' to her, she tried to retreat but Mrs Malfoy had already engulfed her in a smothering hug and was sobbing, not so elegantly, against Luna's shoulder.
"Narcissa, you're scaring the girl." Lucius said in a joking way, but it got Narcissa's attention and she immedietly let go. As soon as she did Luna took a step back. She was thinking about running but she had too much pride to let these Death Eater's see they had scared her, insead she glared at them.
Luna could see they were acting so different to how they usually acted and bacame even more scared. "Daddy, I don't understand." she said in a frantic voice. She was able to be as brave as a Griffindor when up against 'bad people', but right now the Malfoy's weren't acting that way. And she very worried and scared. Nothing good could come of this. She was going over the worst case senario's in her head, of possibly being kidnapped again or maybe being tortured for information about the Order. But the bright Ravenclaw was unable to predict what was actually to come, despite Divination being her best and favorite subject.
"I am so sorry, Luna. But I am not your biological father and your mother was not your biological mother. You were adopted." This was getting too much for Luna, she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Xenophilius could not look at her because he could see the pain he was inflicting and it hurt him too. Sighing he continued. "Mr and Mrs Malfoy are your parents and Draco is your twin brother." All of a sudden the worst case senario was no longer the worst case senario. Luna just stood there wide eyed. "I'm sorry for not telling you sooner." He said while looking up and trying to walk towards Luna to give her some comfort but she stepped back out of his reach.
"No..." She said and tried pinching herself, she heard from Hermione that muggles often did it to try and wake themselves up from bad dreams. And this was a nightmare! But it didn't work so she started screaming, "NO! I WILL NOT BE RELATED TO HIM! HE IS VILE AND CRULE!" She could feel the tears streaming down her face, but it was from anger more than anything else. She was directing this part of her out burt at the Malfoys, and then she turned on her adoptive father. "AND HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE TOLD ME?" She asked while pointing her finger in his face in an accusing manner. He looked sad and hurt by the way she was screaming and accusing him and he could see her pain and it made him want to cry too. Luna felt a pang of guilt for hurting him, but she needed to let her anger out he would understand later.
Then she turned back to the Malfoys and saw Mrs Malfoy crying into her husbands chest as he tried to comfort her. "Their human..." She thought to herself. Then dark spots danced before her eyes and she could feel herself go light headed. "You always know you're going to faint before you actually do." She said in her usual dreamy voice just before she went unconsious she saw the Malfoys move and Mr Malfoy catch her. Then she could feel a hand on her face and her mother call out "OH LUNA! MY BABY!" As the darkness fully took over.

Grin and Bare it.
Luna awoke feeling so comforable and relaxed, that she didn't even want to open her eyes. "It was all a dream. I am at home, in my own bed. Daddy, my own daddy, is down stairs making his God awful tea." She smiled at this thought and she had successfully conviced herself enough to open her eyes. But when she did she did not see her favorite lion head that she had worn to support Harry in the Quiddich finals two years ago, abover her bed. Instead she could just see the black headboard that was attatched to the large four poster bed. She frantically looked around the room for a sign of where she was, but she already knew.
The walls were a deep blue, the same blue that was in the Ravenclaw common room. But Luna knew that was not where she was. She sat up and looked around the large room that was about five times the size of her room at home. She came across several of her things. At the bottom of the bed she saw her trunk. On her bed side table she saw her wand. On the chest of draws that was also made out of the same black wood as her bed she noticed the latest copy of the Quibbler. The room looked like she lived in it, but she knew house elves had probably made it look that may to make her feel more at home in a place she didn't want to be.
What Luna didn't notice as she was looking around was a woman looking out of the window with tear tracks down her face from where she had been crying all night, praying that Luna would be ok. As soon as Luna noticed Narcissa Malfoy standing at the window she felt her heart beat increase. Last time she was in this house she was put in the cellar to rot.
Asthough she could feel that eyes were on her, Narcissa turned around and advanced towards Luna, who flinched. "Oh Merlin., Luna. Thank Gods you're alright!" The woman cried and took Luna in a hug like she did back at the Lovegood's. Luna couldn't believe Narcissa Malfoy was hugging her, AGAIN!
"I still don't understand. What happened?" Luna was truly confused. She hoped that Mrs Malfoy was going to tell her what happened was a dream, and that there was another reason to why Luna was at Malfoy Manor for the second time in two years.
"Darling, I am sorry you feel so distraught. Believe me I wanted to tell you sooner, but Lucius said it would endanger you and your brother.-"
"HE IS NOT MY BROTHER!" Luna shouted, cutting Narcissa off. She could feel the anger she felt earlier returing.
"I don't particuarly like the idea of being related to you either, love." He smirked, leaning against the door frame, looking as arrogant as ever. "But I suppose we're just going to have to grin and bare it, now aren't we?"
Luna narrowed her eyes and sent him a look that could kill. Draco Malfoy had platinum blonde hair and a very pale skin tone that matched it perfectly. Much like Luna, however her hair was one or two shades lighter than his. You could tell they were twins by their features that were perfect, porceline and doll-like. They were so alike in personality, Luna had flashes of her friends saying things like "you really are like Malfoy." or "that's something I'd expect Malfoy to say." She frowned at these thoughts and she could feel them add to the anger already bubbling inside of her.
"Get out! I hate you! And you hate me! Don't you ever pretend that you don't!" She jumped off the bed and started advancing towards him in a very agressive way but before she could reach him she saw the black spots dance before her vision again and felt her knees go weak.
Before she felt the pain from the fall she felt strong arms around her like she had when she passed out before, she thought it mush have been Mr Malfoy but then she heard Draco's voice. "Oh Merlin. Are you ok?" She looked up and noticed that he pulled eyebrows together in the same way that she did when she gets worried. It should have given her comfort that he was worried for her, but it didn't it only made her more angry.
"Get off me! And I told you to get out! Get out! Get out! GET OUT!" She screamed and pushed a startled looking Draco out of the room, and slammed the mahogany in his face. Then she turned to where Mrs Malfoy was giving her a shoked look which she quickly covered by saying, "I think I'll leave you to get accustomed to your new room."
Luna had the urge to retort and say "Oh, I actually get a room this time? Your not just going to throw me in the cellar like the last?" But restrained herself as Mrs Malfoy walked calmly and elegantly from the room, to see if her son was ok.
