2nd chapter: Love and sorrow
Previously:
At that I started crying and ran away. Then, I heard someone calling my name. Luna? Luna! Luna!
(End of dream)
(Draco's PoV)
I suddenly woke up to Luna whispering and crying in her sleep. "Please say your joking.. Please stay with me.." she kept mumbling.
Looking out of the window, I saw that it was still dark. I jumped out of bed and ran to Luna's side and started shaking her and calling her name to wake her up. "Luna? Luna! Luna!" Finally she woke up with a look of shock, but still crying. "It was just a nightmare Luna. No one is going anywhere." I assured her while squeezing her shoulders while I sat next to her. She had her head resting on my shoulder, still crying, but a little softer. "Do you want to talk about it?" I felt her nod on my shoulder.
After she explained what had happened, I was in shock. Luna was my best friend and I'd never.. " Luna don't you even think that I would say or think that. If anyone thinks you are crazy don't you believe it for one second. Because anyone who'd say that, is obviously the crazy one. Also, I'm never, ever going to leave you." Then I gave her a peck on the cheek. She turned to face me and gave me a small smile. "See, that's my Luna. Are you ok, or do you want me to stay?" Without hesitation she grabbed my hand and replied, "Stay please, just for tonight." I smiled a reassuring smile and answered, "I'll always be there for you Lovegood." She lifted the blanket so I could scoot in next to her.
/Seriously, why is it that everyone singles out that one difference in a person and makes it into a mean game? I mean, wizards, were wolfs, trolls, and vampires etc. exist, who can say that nargles, wrack-spurts, and moon frogs don't exist?
Ahh... Me and Luna... Ever since I was about five I would get a little nervous when I saw her. She would smile and I'd get happy and smile too. Then I got the concept of love was and realized that's what it was. I love Luna. Not like a sister like I did mother and father, but love like I need to be with her forever. I would do anything to protect her, comfort her, and just be the reason she smiles everyday.\
...
The next morning after breakfast Mrs. Lovegood told me she got a letter from father saying I should floo home immediately and that he needed to talk to me and couldn't wait. So after saying goodbye to Luna and Mrs. Lovegood I grabbed some floo powder and stepped into the fireplace. "Malfoy Manor!" I said loud and clear.
I stepped out and saw my father sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. "Father, you said it was urgent, what happened? " I asked getting worried. He looked at me with a haunted look in his eyes. "Draco, it's your m-mother.. You know we said she was going on vacation for a few days..?" I wasn't exactly sure where this was going but I nodded. "Well... Umm. I'm not sure how to say this.. She is at St. Mungos hospital."
It was now my turn. "What? Why?" I was getting really worried. I mean this is my mother! "Um. Remember when she visited your aunt Bellatrix? "
I shuddered at her name. I now knew exactly where this was going. Bellatrix was a psychopath. We never considered her family. But my mother occasionally visited her. Also she knew bloody well a few curses that were illegal and had the mind to use them whenever she pleased.
At that I ran to the fireplace once more and shouted "St. Mungos Hospital!"
