DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER (I'm having tea with Hermione in my dreams. LOL)

A/N: Another update. A little chitchat between Pansy and Hermione and the short summary of the love story of Draco and Luna.

Chapter Four

Who would have thought that Hermione is enjoying the company of Pansy Parkinson? Their life back at Hogwarts is forgotten. They seem like a best of friends while shopping at the Oxford Street. She's also surprised that Pansy has muggle money and a credit card. She also blends well in muggle community, although, she's not a fan of the public transportation. She likes to apparate or use Blaise's car and chauffeur.

They are currently having a coffee and snacks in a coffee shop when Hermione wonders if Pansy knows about Draco and Luna's relationship.

"Pansy, do you know about Draco and Luna's relationship?"

Pansy took a sip of her drink then places it back on the table. "Yes, I do. Draco's one of my best friends after all." Pansy tucked some strands of her hair behind her ear. "I'm really happy for him and Luna. After the war, he was a big mess. After his father went to Azkaban and his mother is one house arrest, he decided to leave London to recover. He went all over the world to find peace for himself. When he was in Berlin, someone joined him at his table. It was Luna. She just sat there and has her coffee and pudding. She asked him how was he like they are good friends back in Hogwarts." Pansy rolled her eyes but she looks amused.

"Luna is really like that towards anyone." Hermione said.

"Tell me about it! When Draco asked her what she is doing, she just simply said 'I'm having a coffee with my school mate'. Like it was okay. Draco was uncomfortable. Luna was a prisoner on Malfoy Manor's dungeon for days during the war. Draco wants her to leave but Luna said she's been traveling a lot lately and she just want to talk to someone familiar to her. Then she starts asking him question like how is he? What is he doing in Berlin? That stuff that friends ask each other. Draco gives in eventually because he doesn't want to be rude and he feels like he owes her that. When she decided to leave because she needs to go somewhere, Draco asked her to meet him again for a dinner when she's free. He wants to do something special for her because of the guilt he feels. But she refused."

"She refused?" Hermione was shocked.

Pansy nods her head. "Yes. Draco felt bad because he thought he messed up again. But then Luna invites him to go with her in her exploration. She said it doesn't matter how long he wants to join her but she asked him to join her for at least a week. He agreed."

"Wow… I never imagine Malfoy doing that" Hermione muttered. Pansy giggled. "Yes, me too. Like duh! He can't even tolerate me when I ask him to accompany me in a ball, what more an exploration of unknown creatures all over the world."

Hermione giggles too. "Oh. Then how they start dating?"

Pansy smirks "Well, Drakie-poo went with Luna for three months. They become a good friend during it and somewhere in the second month, my boy starts to fancy her. He was about to make something special for her when his mother got sick, something about her heart. Draco doesn't want to leave her but his mother needs him so he went back home without saying goodbye to her. A week after he left her, when he's having a tea with Narcissa, a Patronus in a form of a bunny came, telling him that she's at the gate waiting for him. He rushed immediately to the gate to meet her. He can't help it but to hug her and kiss her fiercely. Luckily, she hugged and kissed him back." Pansy sighed happily.

"That's it?" Hermione asked while looking confused.

Pansy laughed. "No. The next thing happened is…"

Five years, four months, one week and three days ago…

Draco was still kissing Luna. He was really glad to see her after he left her a week ago. It was unbearable for him to leave her but his mother needs him. He's ready to confess his feelings for her, to tell her that he loves her and ask her if she wants to be with him. He wants to be with her. She gives meaning to his life after the tragic war. And he wants to take care of her, to protect her from harm, to love her faithfully, and be with her as long as she wants him, too.

Suddenly, Draco realized what he is doing. He stopped kissing Luna, let go of her and took a few steps back. He was blushing and feels embarrassed on what he did but feels good about it at the same time.

"I'm sorry about that. I… I don't know what's got into me." Draco apologizes. He can't even look at her. He feels ashamed. Suddenly, he felt her hand on his jaw and moves his face to look at her. And there she was, also blushing but smiling up at him.

"You left me." Luna said calmly. Draco winced. Now he really felt bad about leaving her without saying goodbye. He wants to look away but she placed her other hand on his free jaw and cupped his face. "If you love someone, you can leave them without saying the reason why and goodbye."

Draco's eyes widen like a deer that is about to hit by a truck. Did she just say the word love?

"How…?"

Luna smiles up to him "A few days before you left, you are talking in your sleep. You keep on saying my name and the words 'I love you'. Do you still feel the same?" she asked.

Draco was speechless. He doesn't know how to response. He's confused and happy and nervous and scared. Lots of emotion is circling around his head. He looked back at her, who is waiting patiently for his answer. Does he deserve this woman?

"I do." he whispered. He felt his heart was freed by the tons of agony that he felt after leaving her. He wants to touch her again so he slipped his hand around her waist and wrapped it around it. He holds her close and placed a kiss on her forehead. He heard her sighs.

"I know you do." She said as she wrapped her hands around his waist. "I love you, too."

Draco huffed upon hearing those words from her. She loves him, too. She looks up at him and smiled. After a long time, Draco Lucius Malfoy smiled genuinely again. He gave her a kiss again and looked at her dearly.

"I hope I didn't interrupt you. I just want to see you while I'm on my vacation." Luna said.

"No. I'm just having a tea with my Mother and we're talking about our business." Draco looked at her nervously. "Would you like to come in and meet her?"

"Yes. And I would love to see your home, too. I haven't had a chance since the last time I'm here"

Draco holds her hand and kissed it. "I'm sorry about that, darling. I really do. But, come on. I would really like my mother to meet my girlfriend" Draco smirks.

"Ohh. I hope I'm properly dressed to meet her." Luna said and she looked at her dark blue short sleeve dress, the skirt is just above her knees, black doll shoes, and a brown leather sling bag. Draco tucked her hair behind her ear. "You're perfect. Come on." Draco guides Luna inside the Malfoy Manor.

"That's it." Pansy said as she takes a bite of her muffin. Hermione cannot believe what Pansy had told her. Are they really talking about Draco Malfoy?

"How did you know that story?" the brunette asked.

"Legilimency. I used it on Draco when he told me that she's dating 'Loony Lovegood'. He was so pissed at me when I call her that when I told him that I saw Luna in Spain four years ago. He then told me that they are dating but I didn't believe it. So he let me see it. And also, Luna told me their story." Pansy explained.

"I am surprised too when I saw them together on the anniversary. I mean… It's Malfoy and Lovegood, right?" Hermione whispered.

"Ohh yes. Blaise and Theo were cool about it. Draco told them a month after they start dating. Narcissa took it very well. Lucius was mad. He expects Drakie-poo to marry Daphne or Astoria. Well… Daphne took it badly. She was really expecting Draco to marry her. Good thing she married Flint now. That woman is worse than me." Pansy rolled her eyes.

"I'm really happy for Luna. I can see that Malfoy really adores her."

Pansy smiles. "He does. I won't be surprised if he proposed to her soon. But we don't know. That two are so secretive." Pansy looked at Hermione. "What about you, Mione? Are you dating someone now?"

Hermione shakes her head.

"You should. You're a beautiful and intelligent woman. I love Tori but Weasley is a dumb to let go of you. I would recommend my boys to you but Drakie-poo is taken by our dear loony friend, Blaisey is a manwhore, and Theo is workaholic and married to his work. If I meet someone perfect for you, would you meet him? I have a lot of connection, you know" She winks at Hermione. Hermione laughed.

"Thanks, Pans. I will remember that."

Pansy clapped her hands. "Great! Now, we need to go. I need shoes for this fabulous dress! Chop, chop Granger!" Pansy stood up and grabs her bag. Hermione stood up too and follow her new found friend.
