The new life of Luna. Chapter 10
Later on that same day, Luna sat in the window of the bedroom, staring out over the manor grounds. They actually had a nice garden. The sun shone through the glass that seperated Luna from the outside world. She hadn't been outside properly for ages. The garden was full of trees as well as flowers. Marble structures were randomly spread across the garden and birds chirped loudly. Luna stared out gazing dreamily at the scene. Suddenly the door opened and Draco Malfoy walked in casually, he held what Luna could only assume 'The Daily Prophet' In his left hand. In his right, he carried a glass of firewhiskey. He sat in front of the large fireplace in an armchair putting his glass down on the table beside him. The with a quick flick of the paper, he opened it to the middle and began to read.
"Can I go outside Draco?" Luna asked Dreamily still looking out of the window.
"What and let you escape? I don't think so Loony."
"Escape with what?" Luna asked simpily.
Draco looked up from the paper.
"Please? Just for a few minutes then we can go back indoors, there are rainclouds over there..." She gestured with her arm.
"...and I haven't been outside for ages."
Draco rolled his eyes clearly showing signs of not caring.
"Fine." He hissed thowing the paper down by the side of the table on the floor.
Luna stood up and her eyes brimmed with excitment. Draco took her wrist and opened the bedroom door, before Luna knew it, Draco was leading her down the staircase and they were drawing ever closer to the Manors front doors. Draco paused before reluctantly opening them. Luna stepped out onto the porch the fresh breeze felt cold but good on Luna's pale skin. She enhaled deeply and slowly breathed out. Draco stood by her, to him it felt cold and it would soon rain.
"Can you take me around the garden quickly?" Luna asked, she was unsure what Draco's reaction would be.
"I suppose I could show you a few things." Draco sighed out again.
He looked up at the every faster approaching clouds of heavy rain.
They both walked down the path and Draco showed Luna the Roses. Violets were next followed by Pansys. Draco then walked towards the grass. Luna stopped suddenly, removing both of her shoes.
"What are you doing?" Draco snapped.
Luna ignored him and stepped out onto the grass, it felt soft underneath her bare feet. Draco sneered and he too stepped onto the lawn. They headed over towards the apple trees, the sun reflected off Luna's golden locks of hair, her dress blew behind her as she took each step. Luna picked up a red Apple off the floor and examined it carefully to make sure it hadn't been eaten or burrowed into by Squrriels or insects. Seeing that it looked okay, she took a bite from it savouring it's sweet taste.
"These apples are nice." Luna said as she took another bite.
"Of course they are Lovegood." Draco smirked.
As he spoke, small droplets of rain landed onto his clothing. Then the whole sky erupted, the rain hammered it down.
"Quick I want to go inside." Draco complained.
Luna simply looked up into the sky and squinted.
"Lovegood, come on before we both get soaked!" Draco shouted.
Luna felt a wave of relief more than anything. Luna suddenly had the urge to run. Draco's eyes widened in shock as she ran bare foot across the grass.
"What the fuck are you doing!" Draco hissed.
Luna leapt into the air and twirled revealling her curved figure, her blonde locks followed. She then landed delicatly back onto the ground. Draco's eyes had now widened at the sudden display. She looks like an angel, Wait what hell, do you think you are doing? Draco mentally punched himself in face. Had he just thought that about the always so mysterious, Loony Lovegood?Luna then ran around the garden doing random leaps and twirls everywhere. She then ran back to Draco and took his hand.
"Come on Draco, it's fun!"
"I think you bloody mental." Draco sneered.
"Then why marry me?" Luna sang back.
Draco suddenly sweapt her up in his arms and he ran across the garden carrying a very confused Luna with him. As the pair reached the steps, Draco put Luna down and instantly scolded at her.
"What did you think you were doing?"
"I was being being myself, I haven't done that for many months now!" Luna shot back.
"What if anybody saw you?"
"Who cares? If I embarrass you then i'm sorry."
"I care and apology not accepted!" Draco growled.
Luna felt the tears well up inside her fast reddening eyes. Draco, very unsympathetically grabbed her by the arm and dragged her up the staircase not caring if she tripped or stumbled. The three house elfs looked on helplessly from the hallway.
