"She has your eyes," Draco smiled as he peered at the little creation which Luna was holding so gently in her arms.
"She has your smirk," Luna giggled, watching as their child pulled a face at the two of them. She glanced up at Draco to notice him in utter awe with the child, "Would you like to hold her?"
"I wouldn't want to hurt her," Draco admitted.
"You're her daddy, you'd never be able to hurt her," Luna smiled passing the baby to him.

Draco felt a sudden burst of warmth inside himself at the sound of being called "Daddy" by Luna. As he held their daughter, she wrapped her fingers around his little finger. Her bright blue eyes peered up at Draco's and for a split second he swore that she had actually smiled at him.
"You're a natural at this," Luna smiled, resting her head against Draco's shoulder. He didn't reply, he was taken away with the moment, at how complete he felt. He was surrounded by his two most loved people in the world, filled to the brim with happiness.

As Draco held his daughter he heard a loud noise in the background, the room suddenly started to shake as this noise kept repeating and repeating itself. He stared down at his daughter to notice that she had vanished alongside Luna.

Draco shot his eyes open to the sound of his alarm clock, breathing heavily. He slammed his hand down on it, breaking it in the process. Draco sat in his bed with a sudden realisation that what he had just experienced was all but a dream. That feeling of happiness was now replaced with nothing but emptiness. It had been two days since Ginny had told him the news and he kept having the same reoccurring dream.

"We've only been together for a week; you can't already be breaking up with me!" Pansy cried.
"I can and I have," Draco replied, "Pansy, please move out the way from the door I really have to go-"
"-NO!" Pansy screamed, "I'm not moving. Tell me why you don't want to be with me anymore, what's happened?"
"Pansy, I'm going to be late for the-"
"-TELL ME!"
"FINE!" Draco shouted just as loud, "I hate you. I physically hate you; the sight of you actually disgusts me. Your name, your voice, your face, just everything about you repulses me. I was only with you because you were a rebound and I just needed someone to take my mind off her."

Pansy stared at Draco, taking in every little word which he had just said like a knife to the heart.
"If you hated me so much then why did you say you loved me?" She protested.
"If you loved me so much then why did you make up being pregnant?" Draco replied effortlessly. Pansy's eyes widened in disbelief at what he had just said,
"I thought we were leaving that in the past?"
"How could I ever leave something as cynical as that in the past? Just get out my house, Parkinson."
"Not until you tell me who this 'girl' is!" Pansy snarled, stiffening herself in the doorframe. Draco rolled his eyes, not replying to her. "Exactly, she isn't real. I knew you were-"
"-Luna Lovegood," Draco replied coldly before pushing past Pansy to walk down the busy street.

Neville hadn't moved anything from the house since Luna had left two days ago. The bed was still a mess from where she had dragged her suitcase off it; her ring was still on the bedside table, the plates were still laid out on the table ready for their romantic meal. Since Luna had left, Neville had just sat in a chair staring out the front room window, hoping, praying, that Luna would be coming back.

There was a loud knock at the door which awoke Neville from his short sleep, his eyes darted open, his heart jumping into his mouth.
"Luna?" He chirped eagerly whilst opening the door, his heart fell back to where it should have been once he noticed it was Draco at the door.
"Still no sign of her, mate?" Draco asked as sincerely as he could. Neville shook his head, giving way for Draco to enter the house. "I'm sorry that this has happened," he added whilst looking around at the state of the house.
"It's not your fault," Neville replied, "I should have paid more attention to her problems than my own."

Draco gave a small smile of support, mostly to try cover the guilt which he was feeling,
"Do you have any idea where she could have gone?"
Neville shrugged his shoulders whilst pulling out a photo album,
"No idea. She hasn't anywhere to go has she? Ginny has been trying to find her, she's really angry. She hasn't any other friends and both her parents are dead." He flicked through the photo album leaving it on a page of his and Luna's wedding day. Draco looked at the picture and saw Luna wearing a long, traditional wedding dress, the smile on her face showed everything but happiness.
"Maybe you should stop looking at those pictures, Nev-"
"- Why doesn't she love me?" Neville cried, "Ginny and Harry lasted, Hermione and Ron, why not me? Why couldn't I for once be happy? Why is it always me?"
"She'll be back, Nev. Even if she doesn't come back, there's plenty more fish in the sea. You're Neville Longbottom!" Draco smiled.
"But I want Luna," Neville sobbed, "W-W-Why can't I-I-I be happy?"

A loud sob filled the silence between Neville and Draco. Draco stood there awkwardly, his eyes constantly flickering back to the clock hung up on the wall.
"Oh, is that the time?" Draco exaggerated, "I have to go, urm, important business meeting at the Ministry." Before Neville had a chance to respond, Draco had already walked out of the house, ringing his hands through his hair. Though Draco was able to hide his feelings, anxiety was slowly wearing him down. Somewhere out there, Luna was depressed and alone with his child, he needed to find her and make her his. To show Luna that he did really love. He just wanted to protect her.

"Where could she be?" Draco shouted in the empty street, kicking a can down the road. Thoughts were trailing through his mind, where could Luna be? Who could she be with? Is she okay? Is the baby safe? Is the baby really his? Does Luna really love-

"- Only crazy people shout in the street Malfoy," Ginny stated, interrupting his thoughts. Draco's head shot up from the ground to see a tired Ginny standing in front of him.
"What are you doing here Weasel-?"
"-Stop acting like you don't care for Luna," Ginny glared, "I feel that I owe you an apology from the way which I treated you Saturday. Luna is my best friend though, so this is all quite a shock to me… though I'm not surprised."
"Apology accepted," Draco snarled, "But you haven't answered my first question. What are you doing here?"
"Same thing as you, trying to figure out where Luna is," Ginny replied with frustration.

Draco looked at Ginny cautiously,
"Have you any luck?"
"Of course I haven't, the girl is the master of hiding. Have you?"
Draco shook his head, "None at all, I had just been to Neville's to see if she had come back."
"You went to Neville's?" Ginny gasped, "Does he know that she left him for you?"
"No, he started crying though. Questioning why him and Luna weren't like you and Harry," Draco replied with a sense of amusement. Ginny giggled a little at the thought of Neville which also made Draco laugh.
"I can now honestly understand why Luna has left him," Ginny commented, "Look…Draco, I think I know where Luna could be but it's only a thought."
"Where?" Draco replied with eagerness.
"Her parents' house. They never sold it and Luna always would go on to me that that was where she felt safest."

"Thank you so much!" Draco replied, hugging Ginny in the process. Ginny blushed slightly from the embrace, smiling widely,
"It's fine. I think it should be you though who goes and sees her. I'm her best friend but you're, quite obviously, her world." Draco nodded his head, giving Ginny one last hug before disapparating.

Luna was curled up on the sofa in front of the fire watching the stars twinkle in the sky. She was at her old house, though there was nothing much left of it. All of upstairs was completely demolished from the explosion six years ago. The only liveable rooms were the kitchen, the bathroom and the lounge.

Next to the sofa where Luna was, was a pile of old Quibblers which she had dug out from the rubble. As Luna slowly started to fall asleep there was a loud cracking noise from outside which made her skin scrawl. Her head darted up, peering through the dimly lit room. Luna lowered her to head to fall back to sleep until she heard a loud banging noise on the door.
"Lumos," Luna muttered under her breath, making the tip of her wand light up. She walked over to the front door, taking a deep heavy breath. There was once again another loud thump on the door, this time more violent than before. Luna turned the door handle slowly, opening the door onto the twilight sky.

Luna's eye widened in disbelief once she acknowledged who it was who was standing in front of her.
"Pansy?" Luna gasped in shock, "What are you doing here?" Pansy stood in the doorway, her hair a mess, mascara running down her cheeks, she began to breathe heavy.
"Pansy, does Draco know you're here?"
"Don't say his name," Pansy spat in a high shrieked voice. Luna bit her lip, tilting her head in confusion. "Don't even try to act like you don't know what's happened you Lunatic. Is Draco here?"
"Why would Draco be here?" Luna replied in genuine confusion. She reached her hand out, placing it on Pansy's shoulder, "Pansy are you-"
"-YOU'RE NOT MY FRIEND!" Pansy screamed, pushing Luna's comforting hand away from her, "You're a piece of scum. Draco's broken up with me; apparently he's in love with you. I bet you've done some voodoo on him. I could get you imprisoned for that."

"Pansy," Luna whispered calmly, "I haven't done anything. Draco isn't here. No one is here. It's just me." Pansy's eyes glared at Luna, pushing her out of the way to enter the house.
"What a dump," Pansy stated in a high shrill laugh, "Draco isn't really here?"
"No," Luna smiled, "It's just me."
"No one else?"
"No," Luna replied shaking her head. Pansy's facial expression changed from disgust to a sinister smile.
"Then no one will be able to hear you."
"What do you mean 'hear' me?" Luna questioned in concern. Pansy let out another high shrill laugh before pulling her wand,
"Crucio!" Pansy screamed, the green light from her wand lighting up the pure madness in her eyes.
