One Shot #3 Miscommunication

Blaise had been avoiding her. There way no way around it.

Luna couldn't figure out what she might have done that would cause her boyfriend of a year to avoid her like this. Normally, they would see each other a few times a week when he was busy with work but it had been a week and half since he had spoken to her. She wasn't one to get angry but this was upsetting her. It didn't help the situation that Blaise's picture had been flashed across the Prophet with a picture of him and some French Pureblood Heiress. If he was going to cheat on her, she knew he would do it more candidly. But that still didn't explain why he hadn't told her about the dinner. She would have been fine with it but the fact that he hid it from her hurt.

Communication is what held their relationship together. Both Blaise and herself were candid people who weren't afraid of being honest with each other and for all Luna knew, Blaise had never withheld information from her. Luna's mind immediately went to the thought that this was his way of breaking up with her. So she decided to do a little investigating.

Calling Draco and getting him to agree to meet with her had been the easy part. Getting the information about Blaise out of him was going to take a little more effort. She considered Draco her friend and knew, as much as he might moan about her oddness, he liked her too. She spiced up the two Slytherins rather boring life.

As Luna strolled up to the restaurant she where she was meeting Draco, she noticed him talking heatedly with a brunette. Draco wasn't one for public displays of anger so this had to have been something special to get him all riled up like that. Walking through the door, Luna realized that Draco was in a debate with Hermione Granger of all people. And their voices had risen past the level of a polite public conversation.

"You're such a harpy, Granger," Draco snarled at Luna's best friend.

Scoffing, Hermione retorted, "You are one to talk, Draco. You are nothing but a fame-loving manwhore."

Deciding it was time to stop these two before the Aurors got called, Luna intervened.

"Hermione, Draco, do you think you can continue this conversation at another time. I'm sure the other costumers in this establishment would like to eat their lunch in peace."

Hermione nodded and got up from the table. Turning to hug her friend, Hermione said, "Luna, thank you. I'll floo you tonight so we can catch up. I really have to get back to the shop. Later, Malfoy."

With Hermione gone, Luna looked at the man sitting across from her. His cheeks were still slightly flushed from the argument and his arms folded slightly across his chest. Luna knew better then to push him but she couldn't resist.

"Draco darling, why were you talking to Hermione? You usually stay away from war heroes who can have you thrown in Azkaban for insulting them. Was it the maygos?" Luna questioned politely, picking up her menu and gazing at the options.

"What the bloody hell is a maygo? Draco replied looking completely confused.

Luna's sharp gaze returned to his face to see that some of the color had receded and he was looking his normal shade of pale.

"Nice avoidance technique, Draco. I'll only tell you what a maygo is if you tell me why you were calling best friend a harpy."

Sighing Draco replied, "Because she's a bloody nuisance who gets under my skin. She may be the only person who can just get to me, Luna. And that drives me crazy. Now, what is a maygo?"

"A maygo is something I made up about two minutes ago to get you to spill your guts," Luna answered, throwing a very Slytherin looking smirk at her blond companion who was smirking back.

"Luna Lovegood, you are devious. Now what can I help you with today?" Draco asked, placing his order with the waiter who had stopped at their table.

Luna browsed the menu for a moment before placing her order and answering Draco's question. How did one ask if her boyfriend was cheating on her with some French heiress? Deciding that blurting out the question wouldn't get her the answer she sought, Luna went a more indirect route.

"Have you seen Blaise this week?"

"Blaise, as in your boyfriend Blaise?"

"No, Draco, the other Blaise Zabini we know."

"Yeah, saw him last night. We went out for drinks at the pub down the street," Draco replied, shrugging his shoulders indifferently.

So, Blaise was back in town and he hadn't come to visit her. That news hurt Luna more than she thought it would. Blaise obviously didn't want to see her anymore.

"Luna, are you alright?" Draco asked, leaning over the table to take the other blonde's hand. Her composure was fleeting, her face losing all color as she processed what he had said.

Sniffling slightly, Luna asked, "Did he say anything about me?"

"What's going on between you two, Luna? Did something happen?'

"I didn't realize he was back in town. I thought he was still in France wooing that French heiress."

Laughing, Draco realized what was going on. "Luna, do you think that Blaise is cheating on you?"

Luna was getting angry now. How dare this…this Malfoy laugh at her. Had he not seen the picture?

"Luna, Blaise adores you. The heiress was his cousin from his mother's side of the family. He was required to be at a family get together, which turned out to be a ball. Some idiots from the paper were there covering the event and snapped that picture. It was nothing more than a hug from a cousin."

"Then why hasn't he been to see me, Draco? Why is he hiding from me?" Luna was just plain angry now. She wanted answers and she would find them.

Of course, Draco knew why Blaise hadn't been to see Luna but he wasn't about to tell her why. "Luna, I'm not going to tell you that. You need to talk to Blaise."

"Fine," Luna snapped, throwing her napkin down on the table, "I'll go talk to him."

With that said, Luna stormed out of the restaurant heading in the direction of the Ministry of Magic to find one Blaise Zabini.

Draco pulled on his cell phone and sent a quick message to his friend:

Your woman is on a rampage. You better just ask her before

she leaves you from some other bloke who will

actually tell her he was back in England. Good luck, Blaise.

Luna made it through the atrium of the Ministry in about 5 minutes and was on her way up to the Magical Law Department where Blaise's office was located. Flinging open the door, she marched up to the secretary and asked sweetly, "Marlene, is Blaise in his office?"

Marlene looked at the woman in front of her who had such a serene look on her face while the rest of her body emitted anger.

"Yes, he is in his office but he's asked not to be distur-" Marlene cut off as she watched Luna Lovegood walk right past her into Blaise's office.

Blaise didn't look up as his office door opened. He had specifically asked not to be disturbed and someone felt it was okay to ignore that missive.

"Marlene, I thought I told you-" He snapped, still reading the file in front of him.

"I'm not Marlene, you utter arse."

Blaise knew that voice and the calm tone. He was in trouble.

"Luna, what are you doing here?" he asked, setting down the file and moving around his desk to stand in front of her. Oh, how he had missed her.

"Do you want to break up with me?" She asked, her blue eyes watery.

That shocked him to the core. How could this amazing woman think that he wanted to break up with her?

"Merlin, no. Luna, how could you think something like that?" Blaise nearly gushed. How embarrassing that this woman had him tied up in knots and made him turn into a sissy at the sight of her tears.

"Because you haven't talked to me in almost two weeks, Blaise. And I saw that picture of you in the Prophet with some heiress and you went out to drinks with Draco last night instead of coming to see me." Luna was nearly hysterical by this point. Blaise was the one person she truly felt loved by and he was pulling away from her.

"LUNA WILL YOU MOVE IN WITH ME?" Blaise nearly shouted at her.

That stopped her tears dead in their tracks.

"What?" She just stood there with her mouth open watching a light blush creep of the back of Blaise's neck. It wasn't often that the Italian embarrassed himself but there was a first time for everything.

Taking her hand in his, Blaise led his shocked girlfriend over to the couch on the side of his office. Sitting down, he pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Luna, love, I want you to move into the Manor with me. I've spent the last week trying to come up with the best way to ask you but I was terrified that you would say no. I can't imagine living without you, Luna Lovegood. I'm not quite ready for marriage yet considering the example I had but if I do marry, you will be my wife. Oh, and the girl in the picture was my cousin from France." Blaise waited a minute for her to say something but she still sat there on his lap with her mouth open.

"Luna, I'd really like an answer please," Blaise said softly, hoping his worst fear wasn't about to come true.

"Yes," Luna whispered. "Yes, yes, yes, I'll move in with you and I want to marry you too."

Blaise's whole face lit up into a grin that would make the saddest man happy. Standing up, he twirled Luna around in a circle before pulling her close to kiss her. Pulling away when they needed air, the couple was content just to stand there in each other's arms.

"Blaise?"

"Yes, love?"

"You really need to work on your deliveries. You almost scared all the nargles out of the room with your shouting proposal," Luna smiled into his chest, feeling it rumble with laughter.

"I promise my next proposal will be smoother and I won't avoid you," Blaise replied, kissing the top of her head and thinking about how his life had turned out. He was a successful lawyer, had a wonderful girlfriend who was moving in with him, and true happiness for the first time in his life. Nothing could bring him down today.

AN: So I wrote this oneshot this morning and wanted to post it ASAP! It's currently unedited but after 5 months I knew I had to post something. I've missed these two! So Blaise and Luna are moving in together. What will the move in day have for our favorite couple? Lots of misunderstandings, nargles, and Draco!

Let me know what you thought of this by leaving a .
