Chapter 25
Luna Pov
The week at Blaise's house went by so quickly I can't believe it is over and I am on the train back to Hogwarts. My first day at Blaise's house was perfect, once we woke up from our nap we went down to dinner. When we finished dinner we opened our presents. Blaise's mother had bought me a whole new wardrobe of clothes, new jeans, new tops, jumpers, skirts, trousers, cardies etc. you think of it she bought it. His step father gave me a muggle book on animals. I read about the most fascinating animal called the honey badger. It is seriously bad ass. My favourite present was definitely Blaise's, he got me a locket that is spelled that when I open it, it shows his face and he is saying "I love you." It is the best gift I have ever gotten. It is perfect.
I got Madre a thick wool scarf to keep her warm when it is cold. James received a pair of thick knitted gloves to keep his hands warm while he out with his cattle. Blaise got the picture frame. I think he really liked it. It is on his bedside table and I have caught him several times flicking through the photos of us.
Madre and I went on our mother daughter day. The two men stayed at home. I think James managed to drag Blaise out on to the farm to see the cows.
My feet have never been as sore as that day. We spent the first half of the day going around the shops. Madre had us up and out of the house by nine to hit the shops. We only stopped at two for lunch which was delicious. We spent the second half of the day in the spa. Where I was poked, prodded, waxing, plucked, massaged and trimmed within an inch of my life. The hairdressers took 4 inches off my waist length hair then layered it and gave me a side fringe. Its looks so pretty and soft, I really love what they did with it.
My favourite part of the day would have been when the spa therapist gave me my full body massage. It felt so good and I was so relaxed. I could get use to being a lady of leisure.
The rest of the week was filled with me meeting Blaise's friends and family. They were so friendly. Every night there was new party or ball to go to. Thank merlin that Madre had thought to buy me a few ball gowns. I really felt like a princess while wearing them. We were so busy during the day and by the time it was night I was too tired to do anything with Blaise so we never did get to have sex. I think that was his mum's plan, make me so sleepy that I could not have sex with her son. Hahaha it worked.
I suppose we can always do it at Hogwarts but it is not like we are in a rush to do it. We are only young and we do have the rest of lives to have sex. We don't really need to right now.
Oh I have been off in a daydream for far too long. I have now lost the conversation Blaise and his friends were having. Maybe if I just nod and agree that will help me get by.
Blaise Pov
We have been a week back at Hogwarts. Luna and I have barely seen each other. The teachers have been giving Luna so much work for O.W.L.S that she has not been able to meet me. She has been spending all her evenings in the Ravenclaw common room or the library working. I have not had time to see her either. The teachers have really been piling on the homework and studying for our practice N.E.W.T.S. I am really starting to get stressed out over it. I am determined that I shall earn great grades on it so that when I go for jobs when I am graduated people won't say "He only got the job because of his name, he has no brains to go with it."
I have brains I have plenty of brains. I am third in my year. I want to get jobs and promotions due to my merit not my name therefore I must work hard to prove myself to people.
When I am older I wish to work in law. I want to change the laws to help werewolves, elves, centaurs, fairies, veela and other magical animals. I want to give them more rights and help stop the prejudice that the face on a daily base. People afflicted with werewolfism should be able to get wolfsbane potion to help reduce the pain and keep the human side of them in control. It should be given to them for free by the ministry. House elves should also have rights, they should be kept in decent living conditions and no harsh punishment. Slowly over time once they are use to that we can introduce days off and pay.
I guess most people would not expect me to want to work they all think I am going to a lazy play boy that lives off my parents money. They expect that of most of my friends but they will surprise you. For example Draco does not want to be a death eater. He actually likes muggles and their culture. He loves their music and films. He even dated a muggle for a year. He told her he went to a very private boarding school in Scotland. They eventually broke up over the distance problems. When he is in school he has to act a certain way because he knows his father has people watching him so Draco has to be cruel and mean especially to muggle borns. Draco wants to be an Auror when he is older so he can catch the bad guys like his dad. He has actually been telling Dumbledore of all his father's plans and anything else he hears at the manor. He became a spy for Dumbledore. He wants to be a better person and this is how he is doing it.
We just have to wait till this war is over then we can finally give up the roles we must play and show that blood purity is completely wrong.
Potter has to win this war. It is killing me and my friends having to keep pretending we are something we are not.
Clearly being without Luna this week has made me far too broody and moody. I better go find her and force her so spend time with me.
AN thanks for reading.
