The new life of Luna. Chapter 11
It was pitch black outside and Luna sat in bed reading a book on dark magic. This was on of the things which she secretly found interesting. Her body suddenly froze, Draco's footsteps were nearing the bedroom door. Luna wanted to hide from him but she couldn't. The door opened as Draco strode across the room and went into the bathroom completely ignoring Luna. She felt a wave of relief. Yawning she put the book gently down on the floor beside her. Luna then hid herself deep withing the bedsheets and closed her eyes. Maybe tonight she would dream of something more cheery. Draco must of come out of the bathroom because moments later she felt someone lift up the sheet next to her.
Draco sat up reading the rest of the newspaper he couldn't finish later. He would everynow and then lick his thumb and turn to the next page. Luna opened her eyes again and sat up.
"You could at least let me sleep." She frowned.
"I am Lovegood." He put the paper down.
"Well could you read quieter please?" She sighed meeting his amused gaze.
"Alright Lovegood." He Smirked. "Tonight I'll let you sleep but tomorrow we are going to start trying."
Luna felt her whole life being turned upside down. Where the hell was Harry?
"But, Malfoy, I am only sixteen!" She burst out.
"So?" Draco replied carelessly.
Luna could feel herself going pale, she was far too you to even consider having children and she hads heard nothing from any of her remaining friends. Not even Ginny.
"Goodnight Draco." She said coldly.
Luna turned away from him and closed her eyes for a second time. Draco then spoke after a few minutes.
"I don't want to do this either you know."
Luna did not reply, but after a few minutes she sat up and turned to him
"Why can't you at least ask him to give you more time? I could at least TRY to get along with you."
Draco sighed. "I wish it was that easy, but it isn't. Sometimes life just isn't fair."
"I had a whole life ahead of me, now it's been snatched away from me." Luna wanted to cry but she had to stay strong, especially Draco.
Draco forced himself to put his arm around her Luna slowly turned and looked at him, half bewildered, and half interested.
"Draco, are you actually COMFORTING someone?"
"Trying to..." He managed a smile.
"and are you SMILEING?" She was now teasing him.
"Enough Lovegood." His facial expression turned cold again.
Luna turned over and fell asleep almost instantly.
The next day Luna woke to find that Draco was still next to her. She jumped out of bed and opened the curtains. It was raining outside. Perfect weather to match the horrible day ahead of her. She wondered into the bathroom closing the door behind her.
*Later that day*
Tilly, Pippa and Karnow layed the table with knives and forks whilst Narcissa Malfoy and Lucius were going through a checklist at a small table. Lucius had never looked so disinterested in his life whilst his wife obliviously rambled on. After a few minutes Lucius began to lean onto the cane which he propped up against the table. Suddenly, the cane slipped resulting in the banging of Lucius's head on to the table.
"LUCIUS!" Nacissa shreiked. "What do you think you are doing? Were you even paying any bloody attention!"
"Of course..."
"List the last five things I said..." She folded her arms waiting for her husbands answer.
"Well... Balloons, poppers, um, ummm..."
Narcissa picked up his cane and smacked it across his head.
"PAY ATTENTION!" She hissed. "Party poppers and Balloons are overated..."
"Yes dear..."
With that the couple strode from the room.
Draco walked in followed by an unsure Luna.
"Well Loony what do you think?" He said proudly.
"It looks as it normally does. Dark, boring and untasteful" She tried to hide it but she wrikled her nose slightly in disgust.
"Watch your tongue Lovegood or you'll be talking to the end of my wand." He snorted.
"Speaking of which, where is MY wand Malfoy?"
"None of your business!" Draco spat.
"Well actually, it is my business as it's my wand..."
"I'm not even going to dream of giving it back to you Loony until you behave."
"But I am." Luna fought back.
Draco walked away from her leaving Luna by herself in the dark ballroom. Tilly walked over to her.
"Mrs Malfoy? Shouldn't you be getting ready now, the event starts in fourty minutes."
"I've already told you, call me Luna." She smiled weakly.
Tilly returned her smile.
"Come on miss, i'll help you get ready." The house elf lead Luna upstairs.
