Draco had blacked out twice in one day, and his body wasn't happy with that.
He felt tired and dizzy as he drifted back into consciousness, the lights giving him a headache.
Blinking a few times, he surveyed the room. He knew this place. He was in St. Mungos.
It took a while for him to remember what happened, to remember why he was there. His brain was working slo-mo. Then the events played back in his mind.
The roof. The duel. Falling off the building. The flash of city lights as the ground sped towards him. The murderer.
Draco sat up in bed, the effort making him breath heavily.
"Whoa there, calm down now, I see you're awake."
Draco noticed for the first time that Kingsley Shacklebolt was in a chair by his bed.
"What happened?" He demanded, his vision swimming.
"I'll tell you, but you have a potion to take first," Kingsley replied.
Draco sighed and took his medication before plopping back on the bed.
"So," He began, feeling much better. "Are you going to tell me what happened?"
Kingsley shrugged. "What is there to tell? We got notified that there was a duel on a building by a wizard, and we came immediately. We were just in time for me to slow you with Arresto Momentum and catch you. Potter and Weasley took you here and I tackled the man you caught on the roof with some backup. He confessed to killing your wife, and is awaiting trial by the Wizemagot. You are fine, they'll release you in an hour or so, you were just in shock and your ankle got damaged. That's it."
"And Luna?" Draco inquired, hoping the auror would get what he meant.
"She is going to be buried on your property," Kingsley replied.
Draco was happy with that answer. He could visit her often there.
"Good," Draco nodded.
A Healer entered the room. "Ah, you're awake Mr. Malfoy! Let me check on you and then we'll see if you're all good to go!"
She tested this and used a spell on that, Draco obeying her orders until she said he was ready to go home.
Draco walked out of the hospital some time later after being discharged. He shook hands with Kingsley.
"It's been a pleasure working with you. Thank you."
"Where are you going?" Kingsley inquired.
"I'm going home."
The early morning fog hovered over the grounds as Draco walked onto his porch and in the house. It felt like he'd been gone for years instead of days.
He decided to eat something and change. It was quiet and eerie in the house, and he let silent tears fall from his eyes as he hoped that Luna would be hiding in their room, or reading in the library. But she was never there.
He sighed, his heart aching and tears flowing as he watched from the living room window. They were burying her.
He almost went out there, but he wouldn't be able to do it. What would he say? What would he do?
So he was just content with observing the two men with the casket.
Draco went out in the garden once it was done. He paid the men and watched them leave before picking some flowers. It was Luna's garden, she was rightfully buried there.
Once he had a fairly nice bouquet, he kneeled in front of the grave and set the flowers below the tombstone.
"Hey Luna," He began softly. "How are you doing? Fine? That's good. It's been hard without you. Can you believe they thought I was the murderer? I dunno what they were thinking. But the man that killed you- he's always had a grudge with the Malfoys. They caught him though, we dueled and the aurors came and arrested him. That was just last night!"
He found himself chatting with her (the ground) enthusiastically for hours about anything and everything. Eventually the sun began to set and he decided he best go inside.
"I love you Luna, but I gotta go.I'll come back tomorrow, okay?"
He stood up and brushed the dirt off his clothes, walking back inside. And he was surprised to find himself reciting their wedding vows.
'You have changed my life. You have rescued a demon with your angel. There's no one like you, and no one better, too.
We belong together.
I'll always be there to care for you, and I'll always be at your side.
You've stolen my heart, and I've stolen yours.
Together we are complete.
I'll love you forever, this you must know, I'll love you forever,
And never let go.'
A/N: So that's the end! I left the murderer's name anonymous on purpose, you decide who it was! And I don't know much about wedding vows wither but I did my best. So what'd you guys think? Did you like it? Do you want a sequel? If you haven't read my other Druna stories, I invite you to do so, I hope you enjoy!
I'd like to thank EVERYONE who reviewed, favorited, and followed this story. It motivated me to write and I appreciate it! I loved writing this and you guys made it better! Love you all!
So that's it! Until next time, Au Revoir! XD
