DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING BUT THE PLOT.

I WILL NOW SHUT UP AND LET YOU READ THE STORY...


Chapter 3: Morning Fun

Luna could vaguely make out Harry's limp form in Hagrid's arms. Neville ran forward, holding up the Sword of Gryffindor as if to kill Voldemort himself. The other Death Eaters just laughed at his ignorance. Soon he was hit with a killing curse. Was that it? Was this the end of the War? Did Voldemort win? Luna refused to believe that Harry was killed whilst running away. Harry wouldn't do that. Harry was brave, strong, loyal, and so many other things. He wouldn't have left them to die. Would he?

Luna moaned in her sleep. She was sweating and shivering. She was kicking back the covers, throwing her hands everywhere. Only when Luna screamed did Draco realize what was going on. He rolled over, straddling her with his longs legs. He grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head. Luna whipped her head back and forth, squirming under his grasp.

"Luna, it's only a dream. Luna, it's okay. I'm here. Wake up. You're okay. Luna wake up." Draco whispered soft words over and over again until Luna woke up. It wasn't small and slow like it should be. Her eyes popped open, fear showing on her face.

"Luna are you okay?" Draco asked.

"Sorry. Just a bad dream." Luna said.

"But are you okay?" Draco asked again.

"I'm fine. Well?" Luna asked.

"Well what?" Draco asked.

"Are you going to get off of me?" Draco then realized he was still straddling her waist and holding her hands above her head.

"Right sorry." Draco rolled over and off to his respective side.

"What time is it?" Luna asked propping herself up on one elbow.

"I don't know. It's still pretty dark so probably pretty late." Draco said also propping himself up to see Luna more clearly.

"Sorry I woke you."

"It's fine. One sec," Draco leaned over and grabbed his hand from the bedside table,"Lumos." Draco muttered and instantly the tip brightened and he could make out Luna's face more clearly in the light. She was squinting in the sudden light. Despite being jolted awake, she didn't seem the least bit tired. Her hair was still perfect, not a sign of bed head. Her nightgown had a low neckline and revealed her milky white skin. She looked gorgeous.

"What?" Luna asked making Draco realize he was staring.

"Nothing, you just don't seem tired." Draco said, needing an excuse.

"Yeah, I've always had trouble falling asleep after I've woken up no matter how late." Luna explained.

"Do you want anything? Tea? Hot milk?" Draco asked, feeling the sudden urge to make her comfortable.

"No, I'm good. I guess I should at least trying going back to bed, seeing how late it is." Luna said.

"Yeah, nox." Draco muttered. They were plunged back into darkness. Luna returned the covers and laid on her stomach. Draco, on his back, staring at the ceiling. They laid like that for God knows how long. Acting like they were asleep, laying in awkward silence, knowing the other wasn't asleep. Luna finally couldn't take it anymore and rolled over, acting like she did this in her sleep, and cuddled up to Draco. Laying on her stomach, using Draco's stomach as a pillow, she felt the warmth of another human oddly comforting. She wrapped her arm around his torso. Draco knew she was awake, but didn't care. It was oddly nice knowing that Luna was looking to him to comfort her instead of ignoring it and bottling it up. They both fell asleep fast from the warmth only another human being could give.

Draco was the first to wake up. From the light in the room, he could tell that it was little after seven. Breakfast was at 8:30 so they should be getting up soon. From Luna's even breathing, he could tell that she was still asleep. He didn't want to wake her up, but they could not be late for breakfast.

"Luna, its time to wake up." Draco said, shaking Luna gently. It took her a while but he managed to get her to open her eyes.

"What?" Luna asked.

"We need to get ready for breakfast." Draco said.

"Okay." Luna said, lifting herself from Draco's chest. She sat up and stretched.

"You can wear one of the dresses that I bought you yesterday. They're probably still in the bags." Luna nodded then removed the sheets from her body and walked over to the closet. Draco stared after her. He knew when he bought that nightgown that it was short, but he didn't honestly believe that she would wear it unless he said so. It only reach to her thighs and had a low neckline. Draco had to admit that she had an amazing body.

He then proceeded to walk into the bathroom for a shower before breakfast. He turned the water on hot and stepped in and instantly all the tension from yesterday was released. He quickly washed his hair and then walked out. He slipped a towel around his waist before walking out to get clothes.

Luna grabbed a dress from one of the bags and slipped it on. It was short-sleeved, going to her elbows. It was a darker blue but it was rather simple. Once she got the dress on, she started searching through the bags trying to find some shoes. Luna knew that Draco would never let go anywhere without shoes. She did hope that the nargles wouldn't steal any of her clothes. She wondered if there was any nargle nests in the Manor. She was absent-mindedly looking through bags when Draco burst through the door in just a towel.

Draco walked right past her and started looking through shirts. Wearing the towel around his waist didn't leave much to the imagination. He had a rather defined chest. His years of Quidditch training did him well. He had muscles but wasn't bulgy. By the way he was looking at clothes and randomly picking things that he liked, he seemed not to notice Luna gaping at him. When he had picked out what he wanted to wear, did he acknowledge Luna's presence.

"You should close your mouth. You don't want anyone to think you're staring at me." Draco chuckled. Luna quickly shut her mouth.

"What about you? Did you think to knock? What if I had been changed when you walked in?" Luna said, crossing her arms.

"So." Draco said.

"So what?" Luna asked.

"So what if I had seen you naked. It's not like I want eventually. The wedding has to be consummated." Draco said.

"Draco, I thought we agreed to be civilized. And part of that means respecting my privacy. Yes, we have to have sex eventually, but until then, I ask you not to barge into a room where I could be naked." Luna said.

"Fine. But I don't know what your so shy about. I mean it's not like I haven't seen you naked before. And with that nightgown you were wearing, well that just added to my knowledge of your body." Draco smirked.

"That doesn't matter. We had a clean slate last night. Besides, you bought me that dress and it was the most modest one you had." Luna retorted.

"Right, don't be afraid to wear some of the other ones." Draco smirked. Then he removed the towel around his waist. Luna squeezed her eyes shut but she did get a small glance of Draco.

"Draco, do you have any self respect?" Luna asked, covering her eyes with her hand.

"I just don't mind if you see me." Draco said as he slipped on a pair of boxers and black slacks..

"Are you decent yet?" Luna asked.

"Yes," Draco said as he slipped on a black shirt, "You can go comb your hair in the bathroom." Luna only nodded before retreating into the bathroom. She quickly brushed her hair and put on some more vanilla perfume before leaving. Draco was sitting on one of the couches silently reading. Luna sat next to him and leaned over to see what he was reading.

"Potions Potions and More Potions," Luna read, "Good book?" Luna teased.
"I told you my favorite subject was Potions. I did the best in that class." Draco said, not looking up from his book.

"I thought all Slytherins like Potions?" Luna said.

"Most do just for the easy O. But unlike the other oafs in Slytherin, I'm actually good at Potions. And not just because my godfather taught it." Draco said looking Luna in the eye.

"I believe you." Luna said. Draco had the sudden urge to kiss her. But he resisted. Luna said she needed her privacy. He knew that he needed her to fall in love with him, but not so soon.

"We need to talk." Draco said suddenly.

"What about?" Luna asked.

"The marriage. Despite what you may think, I don't want to hurt you. My father will expect me to abuse you, physically, mentally, and sexually. He needs to think that I'm practically raping you every night. If he mentions anything about you staying in my bed last night, don't blush. Don't say anything. Be shy. He must know by now that you slept here. He will think that we had sex last night. And I forced you. But like I said, I don't want to hurt you. There are simple spells that will put bruises on your body. You need to be quiet and timid around my family and snobbish in public. And most importantly, we not only need to convince my father but the Dark Lord too." Draco said.

"I trust you Draco." Luna said quietly. She knew this was coming, she just hoped that Draco wouldn't force her every night like expected. Just then they heard the voices of Lucius and Narcissa from outside the door. The noise was faint but they were coming quickly. Without missing a beat, Draco dropped the book on the coffee table and grabbed Luna's hips. He set her on his lap.

"What are you doing?" Luna asked.

"You said you trusted me, so trust me. Like I said, they expected me to force you last night. They expect me to take advantage of you during the day too. Even if it's just kissing. Whatever you do, don't go along with it, but don't stop it. Just don't move and I will do everything. Okay?" Draco said, Luna just nodded. Draco then pulled in and kissed her deeply. He moved his mouth against hers. Luna stood there, resisting her instincts to kiss him back. It took all of her strength not to put her arms around his neck and mess up his perfect hair. Draco licked her lips, asking for entrance, even if he didn't have to. Luna dutifully opened her mouth for his tongue. They sat there while Lucius knocked on the door. When there was no response, they assumed that they were still asleep, so Narcissa quietly opened the door to see her son fully taking advantage of a small girl. Draco knew they were there, staring at him, but did not react. He had to convince his father that he had no care in the world except how easily it would be to take Luna. Only when Lucius clear his throat loudly did Draco remove his lips from Luna's.

"I see you are taking advantage of this young girl who appeared to sleep in your bed." Lucius said.

"You gave her to me. I will enjoy every minute of it." Draco smirked.

"She is beautiful." Lucius said.

"You should see how beautiful she is when she's underneath you, screaming your name like a little whore." Draco mentally kicked himself.

"I bet. I hate to interrupt you but breakfast is soon. Bellatrix is waiting for us." Lucius said.

"Yes Father. Luna up." Luna stood up and Draco followed her. They followed Lucius and Narcissa down to the dining room. They all sat down and the house elves brought out some food. There wasn't a lot of talk but a few exchanged words. Luna spent all the time eating and silently looking at her hands when she was done.

"Luna darling. The wedding will be soon so Jacques is coming today after lunch to discuss wedding details. I was hoping you would join us to include some of yourself into the wedding." Narcissa said. Luna just nodded, staring at her hands, not looking up.

"Answer her Luna." Draco commanded.

"Yes Ma'am, that will be amazing. Thank you for inviting me." Luna looked up and said what she thought Draco would want.

"It is no problem." Narcissa replied.

"Draco, seeing as you care so much about Luna's sleeping arrangements, we will be moving you into the South Wing today. You should be settled before night fall." Lucius said.

"Good, I didn't want to wake you and Mother with the screaming." Draco smirked.

"Now now Draco, we are at the dinner table. Please be civilized." Narcissa chided.

"Yes Mother. But seeing as I am done, we will be leaving. Luna?" Draco said standing up and offering his arm to Luna. They quickly walked back to Draco's room where all the clothes and possessions seemed to have disappeared. Noticing Luna's confusion, Draco spoke up.

"The house elves are taking our stuff over to the South Wing for our new place." Draco said pulling Luna onto the couch next to him.

"Right. Did I act okay?" Luna asked.

"Perfect. Keep acting like that and my parents will never suspect a thing." Draco said.

"Will we have to act like that every time your parents walk into a room?" Luna asked. She was not uncomfortable with it but she just wanted to make sure she had all of her facts straight with her marriage.

"Every once a while, but not a lot." Draco said.

"Why? Was it too much? Was it bad?" Draco asked.

"No, I just want to know everything so I don't have to worry about messing up." Luna said shyly.

"You won't, trust me. If you don't know what to say, don't say anything. Okay?" Draco said.

"Okay."
