September 1st.
Luna's pregnancy: Approximately 12 weeks.

I've decided to keep this story after all!


It was school time. Yay.

But for Luna, it was the worst school start. After retching in the bathroom (which, unfortunately, was a rather tedious new habit of hers), she felt nauseated. Luckily for her, the morning sickness was diminishing.

Her belly wasn't huge at all yet, it was a rather petite sort of bump. Due to the Secret Keeper idea, nobody could see it, even if it were the size of a huge Quaffle and under their very own eyes. The plan was ingenious, and Luna was glad for this.

"Luna! You'd better hurry, we have to be at the train at 11, and its already 10:00 A.M.! If we arrive late, we'll suffer from the Late-Lurgy!" Her father announced.

Oh yes. Xenophilius Lovegood. He definitely was still not used to 'awaiting the arrival of the spawn of Draco Malfoy', AKA his first grandchild. Neither was Luna. They barely used the word Malfoy in a sentence. Unless that particular sentence went like: "That Malfoy-boy/git!" or something of the sort.

Yet she could barely seem to understand why Draco Malfoy had saved her that day at the wedding. Perhaps he was afraid that she would be captured and interrogated. Which would result in Death Eaters also finding out that they had a night of.. adultered content.. (it was sad that she was pregnant, and still hesitant to use the s-word!). Whatever the reason was, she was grateful for it. Not grateful enough so that she would tell him that he would be a father, but still grateful nevertheless.

"Luna! Are you drifting off again?" The voice of her father suddenly took her out of her troubled thoughts.

"What? Oh, yes. I believe we have a Wrackspurts infestation again."

Later, they arrived at King's Cross. Luna said her goodbye to her father (an awkward one at that, with him hesitantly patting her stomach and telling her to be careful with his grandchild) and she went up to the train.

While walking to a compartment, she walked by a certain Slytherin's one. Pansy Parkinson was sitting too close to the father of her unborn child (almost on his lap), and seemed to be trying to pelt him with kisses. He, on the other hand, looked oblivious to her pathetic tries for attention. Malfoy also didn't notice her prying eyes staring at him blankly.

A strange feeling went through her at that moment but she dismissed it as the baby's jealousy. And Luna realized, at that moment, that it's life would be hard without the loving, caring environment that only two married people could make. Luna's growing up had already been hard with her mother dying when she was still young. She had stuck to her father alot. But her child's own father wouldn't even find out that he/she existed.

While thinking of the woe that would happen to her unborn baby, she had barely noticed Crabbe and Goyle standing outside of the compartment. That is, until one of them (she kept on forgetting who was who) said something.

"Hey Loony, get off"

"Yeah, Loony."

Normally, she would have just kept on going and ignored them. But instead, Luna dealt with it differently this time. Just a flick of her wand and they were running away from the Bat-Bogey Hex.

"Nice one, Luna!" Ginny's voice appeared as the red-haired girl came into sight. "Have they been giving you a hard time?" she asked, watching in amusement as they ran. Luna was in the middle of answering when Ginny interrupted, and seemed to notice something. "Hey, you've grown!".

Luna was puzzled for a minute, until realizing that Ginny meant her stomach, and not her height. "Yes, unfortunately the only thing that gets smaller is my bladder. I have to pee alot more now!"

Luna and Ginny (accompanied by Neville) got on the carriages. Neville asked what they did during the summer.

Oh, just had a 'fling' with Draco Malfoy (Yes, the Slytherin Death-Eater!) when we were drunk, and now I'm pregnant with his child. Nothing new, really. Oh, and Harry and Ron and Hermione won't be here for this year. But this is somewhat good because it won't cause for awkward moments if the father of my baby (unfortunately, Malfoy) was off feuding with my friend (Harry, who was nice enough to say that we were friends!).

They eventually got off the Thestrel-pulled carriages, and into the Hogwarts castle (with Luna very pointedly trying not to get anywhere near to him). The whole castle looked rather dreary. It was dark and the huge place was covered with Slytherin-snake pictures. As soon as Luna sat down, a very greasy-haired and pale man stood up to talk.

The despised new Headmaster looked proud as he announced "A new year of Hogwarts has begun. Changes to the staff are: Alecto Carrow, the new Muggle Studies Professor and Amycus Carrow, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor". No cheers.

It was all a new Hogwarts. Controlled by Death Eaters, there was no chance of muggle-born witches or wizards learning here anymore.
