I woke up early in the morning to get ready to see Draco. My heart still hurt terribly, but there was a bit of hope that Draco would be able to fix me, that he would be able to explain the whole misunderstanding.
I showered and plaited my hair, and even went as far as to put on a little bit of makeup, I wanted to look perfect for Draco, I didn't want to be rejected again. Once I was ready I walked slowly down the stairs, taking deep calming breaths so that I could maybe possibly not pass out when I saw Draco.
He was waiting just outside the door. "Good morning my Luna." I smiled and tucked a stray hair behind my ear. "Good morning." He smiled, "I'm really glad you agreed to talk to me, I don't know what I would have done if you had said no." I nodded, "Yes, well, where do you want to do this?" he took my elbow and lead me down the corridor. "I thought maybe by the lake?" I nodded, "I love the lake."
We settled down in the grass at the very edge of the lake, I slipped off my shoes and put my feet in the cool water. Draco smiled gently and slipped off his own shoes, and put them in the water next to mine. I squished the mud in my toes before turning to Draco.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" I asked. He turned to me and then back down to look at our feet. "I wanted to apologize for whatever I did that made you think I had rejected you." I shook my head, "I just, don't understand. You looked so disgusted and you said 'no way' like you didn't even consider giving me a chance."
His mouth dropped open, "Is that all it was?" He asked, I nodded slowly. "I did that because I thought that it was inevitable that you would reject me. I didn't mean to offend you at all! I'm so sorry about this misunderstanding, won't you forgive me?" I turned to him, his hair blew away from his face in the wind. "Why would it be inevitable that I would reject you? You're my mate, I can't help but love you."
Draco grinned, "Well, I just assumed that I wouldn't be that desirable to you, being the son of a known death eater and all." I smiled at him, "You are not your father, and I have seen you, you are not a follower of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, you are too kind." He barked out a laugh, "Me, kind?" I shrugged, "Well, considering all of the opportunities you have to be awful that you ignore, and you must admit that you do ignore those opportunities, you are kind." Draco smiled, "I guess when you put it in that light."
He splashed the water with his feet, "So does this mean that we can be together?" I nodded, "Yes, on one condition." He raised an eyebrow, "And what condition would that be?" I stood and took off my cloak, "You have to swim with me." His mouth dropped open, "but our clothes will be soaked!" I shook my head, "You're a wizard aren't you?" I asked, wading out into the water. After a moment of hesitation, Draco joined me.

Luna and I swam until it was time for Lunch. She was a very good swimmer, a few times she would call for the squid, and it would lift her up so she could dive off of its tentacles. She tried to get me to join her in jumping from the squid, but I refused, telling her I would rather watch her. She blushed adorably every time I said that.
When we got out of the water I charmed us dry, recalling, as Luna pointed out, that I was a wizard. we were walking back up to the castle when Luna lined her fingers with mine. "Will you hold this for me? I don't want to lose it." I laughed at the cheesiness of her request, but agreed none-the-less. "Yes, or course, we can't have you losing such an important body part."
We headed off to our own house tables, but sat on opposite sides of the table so that we could see each other. "Hey Draco, we haven't seen much of you lately, where have you been?" Blaize asked as I poured myself a glass of pumpkin juice. "I've just been a little preoccupied." He nodded, knowing that it was better not to press me for information, and that I would get around to telling him sooner or later.
I had been talking to my friends for a while when I looked up at my Luna, as I had been doing all night. She had been moving the food on her plate around and looking uncomfortable with herself. When I looked up at her our eyes met and her face turned green and she jumped up from her bench and ran out with her hand clamped tight over her mouth. I jumped up from the Slytherin table and followed after her. I saw her head into the girl's restroom, so I sat against the wall beside the door to wait for her.
After a few minutes she came out looking significantly less green. As soon as she stepped out of the doorway I was on my feet and wrapping her up in a gentle hug. She smelled like mint. "What's wrong Luna? You haven't eaten in days, you must be hungry." She shrugged, "I am, its just, I feel so uncomfortable when I'm not right there with you, it makes me nauseated, and I just can't make myself eat."
I hugged her a little tighter, contemplating what I could do to make it where my lovely Luna could eat without vomiting. After a moment it came to me and I let go of her, opting to take her hand. "Come with me." I lead her down to the first floor and over to the kitchens. I tickled the pear until it turned into a door knob then opened the door. The house elves all turned to us, then swarmed. "How can we help you Master Malfoy?" I heard Dobby calling from somewhere in the crowd.
I cleared my throat, and the elves quieted down. "This is my mate Luna, and we've just come into our veela inheritance. We haven't eaten in a few days, but it makes her sick to be away from me. As we are in different houses, its impossible for us to sit together in the Great Hall, so I was wondering if it would be possible for the two of us to take our meals here with you?"
The elves eyes lit up and there was a flurry of motion as they hurried to prepare places for us. They poured glasses of pumpkin juice and water, and filled our plates and set out other plates as well in case we wanted more. "Thank you!" Luna said, taking my hand and pulling me over to the table they had set up for us.
We were both very quiet for a few minutes as we ate, but once our hunger was not so intense, we started talking. "Tell me about your house?" I asked, eager to learn as much as I could about her.
"Well," She said, tilting her head to the side, "Its like a tower, with only one room on each floor. The kitchen and dining room are in the same room on the ground floor, then the next floor is a sitting room, then there is a laundry room, then my father's room, and then my room at the very top of the tower. I have a trap door that I can open to climb out and be on top of the tower when I want to star gaze. There are flowers EVERYWHERE, I've planted them all, I love flowers. We live on a farm, so we have pigs and chickens and cows. I love to tend the animals. And past all the animals we have a pond with a tree that hangs over it, I like to climb up the tree, then jump off into the pond." I smiled, my lovely Luna was so cute.
"Now tell me about your house." She demanded, taking a bite of hot apple pie. (A/N: idk if they have apple pie at Hogwarts, but Luna Lovegood likes it, and so do I, so I don't care. Ha. Ha. Ha.) I thought for a moment, "Well, Malfoy mannor is very large, and shaped kind of like an 'H' there are three floors, and lots of bedrooms. My parents rooms are on the second floor, mine is on the third. We have stables with horses and other more magical animals, but I like the horses the best. There are lots of paintings and portraits, but most of them are not very nice. The dining room is on the ground floor, the table only has room for four people, our family and one guest. For parties we have a larger dining room with a huge longer table. We have lots of gardens with beautiful flowers, and the trees are very tall, and great for climbing."
She smiled widely, "I would like to see your flowers." I nodded, "Of course you will, they will be your flowers some day. Now, let's play questions." She looked confused, "I'll ask a question, then you answer, then you ask a question, and I'll answer." She nodded, "Okay, I understand, you go first."
(A/N: Draco Luna)
Tell me your middle name.
Estrella, it was my Grandmother's name.
Where is your favorite place on earth?
I really like the wizarding villages in Paris, but my favorite place is at the manor in the stables.
What is YOUR favorite place on earth?
My favorite place is the road that links our house with the Weasley's. that's where I run every morning.
What is your favorite type of music?
I like a lot of muggle music. I don't know if I have a favorite genre though, I listen to a lot of loud rock when I work out, and Regina Spektor, have you heard of her? I adore her.
We went back and forth like that for quite a while before finishing our meal and thanking the elves. I walked her back to her common room. "Get your things, and we can study in the library."
She hurried up to her dorm and came back within moments with a heavy looking bag slung over her shoulder. I took it from her and put it on my own back before linking our fingers and taking us down to the library. We settled down at one of the tables in the very back of the library, and scooted our chairs next to each other before setting to work on our essays.
how about a review?
