A/N – Draco/Luna's moment is only a little in this chapter, but it's still fun to read (at least that's according to me LOL)

Chapter 25

"Draco, I can't move if you hang on me like that," Luna told him as he kept hugging her from behind as she cooks.

Draco frowned. "You don't like to be close to me?" He asked a little offended.

She sighed. "I like being close to you, of course, but right now I'm cooking for both of us," she replied softly.

"Let's go back to bed," he whined, ignoring the fact that his fiancé was cooking.

"Later, Draco," she said patiently. She was used to the new side of Draco she'd just found, spoiled, but she just enjoys it. "Go sit down, I'll prepare the food."

Still frowning, he let go of her and waited at the table. He tapped his foot impatiently.

What is she doing? Why is it taking her so long to prepare lunch.

Then his thoughts were disturbed by a knock on the door. He growled.

"Draco, darling, can you get a door for me?" Luna called from the kitchen as she realized that Draco had ignored the knock on the door.

Draco didn't reply, but he stood up from the chair and opened the door. The frown on his forehead deepened.

"So you remember the way back to England?" He said sarcastically to Sanguini. A few months ago, Sanguini went on holiday to Romania. He didn't tell what he was doing there, only Merlin knew.

"It was a lovely welcome," Sanguini said. Suddenly his nose twitched. "Someone's inside?" he asked, his expression became serious.

Draco smirked. "Yes, there's someone inside."

"Who?" Sanguini frowned suspiciously. "I thought you wanted Luna."

"Come in and find out for yourself," Draco said still smirking.

So Sanguini came into his apartment and looked around. The scent almost entirely filled the room; it was also very powerful, usually only a newborn Vampire had this powerful scent. Followed the scent he turned to the kitchen.

"Oh, hello, Sanguini," Luna greeted warmly as she spotted Sanguini walking sneakily. "How are you? Draco said you went to Romania for a vacation. How's Romania?"

"Luna?" Sanguini said in surprise. He hadn't expected to find that she was the source of the scent that almost filled the room.

"Do you want to have lunch together, Sanguini?" Luna asked. But without waiting for his response she put another plate for Sanguini.

Sanguini turned to Draco who stood with a smirk. "Luna is newborn Vampire ?" He whispers in disbelief. During his vacation, he mocks every time considering how miserable Draco is.

"Of course, I'm the one who turned her," Draco said proudly. "You didn't see it coming, did you?"

Sanguini made a face. "That's surprising. It's faster than I thought," he scoffed.

"Don't be surprised, I'm Draco Malfoy, all women fall for me," Draco said arrogantly.

Sanguini snorted. "Right," he muttered. Distracting from Draco, then he searched for Luna. "So, where is the female Vampire, I want to meet her," he yelled.

"So how is it?" Sanguini asked as Luna went to wash the dishes.

"What?"

"Ehee ... don't behave as if you are a naive man," Sanguini said with a grin, unable to hide his curiosity.

Draco rolled his eyes. "She's great, no, no," he said, shaking his head. "She's incredible."

"That's not what I mean," Sanguini said irritably. "The mating step how's it?"

Draco glared at Sanguini through the corner of his eye; he was unable to hide the blush on his cheeks. "Shut up," he snapped.

Sanguini laughed loudly. He had never seen Draco blush.

"Why did you take so long to get back to England? I thought you forgot the way home," Draco sneered as Sanguini's laughter began to subside.

"Romania is an amazing place," Sanguini replied, "and there is a village whose inhabitants are Vampire, it reminds me of the Wizarding World, they have their own government too."

"Do humans not know about the existence of the village?" Draco asked, frowning.

Sanguini shook his head. "No human being has ever reached that place. The place is hidden behind forest and fog; humans wouldn't dare get close to that place."

"Interesting," Draco said, nodding.

"You have to go there sometime," Sanguini said.

"Yes, Luna will probably love it," said Draco. But to be honest he wasn't sure Luna wanted to go to a place full of Vampire, if he had to be honest, the place was a bit scary for him.

"What has happened since I left?" Sanguini asked. "I notice a ring on Luna's finger, I assumed it was yours."

Draco smirked arrogantly. "Of course," he said proudly.

"So when is the wedding?" Ask Sanguini.

"Autumn," Draco replied. "It's the right time to get married."

"What else happened since I left?" Sanguini asked, he can sense something on Draco.

"I met someone," Draco's tone dropped. "A Vampire, he knows you."

"Who?"

"Adam Grenouille, do you know him?"

Sanguini thought for a moment. The name was familiar to him, then he nodded slowly. "Yes, he's quiet person, he doesn't talk much and as far as I know he never socialize with anyone, human or Vampire, he is old fashioned. But he is a regular customer at the bar we went to; he comes just to have a drink. Did he show himself to you?"

"Yes, several times and once to Luna," Draco replied. "Apparently he's trying to be friends with me; he's been showing up lately and always starts a conversation."

"Strange, I know him for almost a hundred years but this is the first time he tried to socialize," said Sanguini suspiciously. "Maybe he's trying to be a little more modern."

"Probably," said Draco.

"But be careful. You have something that all Vampires want to be able to rule humans," Sanguini warned.

Draco swallowed. He regretted creating the serum, but on the other hand, he knew he needs it. "Yes, I'll be careful."

"I heard Derek Hall died," Sanguini said to change the subject.

"He was murdered," Draco replied.

"By who?"

Draco shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, the police haven't caught the culprit,"

"You know I have a friend in the police force, the human I introduced you last year?" Draco nodded, still remembering Sanguini's human friend who worked as a cop, he was good enough. "I met him two days ago, and it seems he is investigating the death of Derek Hall, and he accidentally dropped this," Sanguini reached into his jacket and pulled out a picture.

"What's this?" Draco asked, grabbing a picture from Sanguini.

"The condition of Derek Hall's corpse," Sanguini said.

Draco tilts his head side-to-side and scans the picture carefully. Derek was lying on his stomach with a pale face as if he was out of blood, his mouth slightly open and wide-eyed. He could see clearly the blood spots from his neck. His eyes widened in disbelief as his eyes landed on his exposed neck. There was a scratch on his neck and it looked nasty, but what caught his attention the most is two small holes in his neck.

"Shit," he muttered under his breath.

"You think what I think?" said Sanguini.

"He was killed by a Vampire," he muttered in disbelief.

"Exactly," said Sanguini. "People think Hall is attacked by wild animal, but people like us know better."

Draco leaned back on the chair. "If he was attacked by a wild animal he would have lost some part of his body or his body would be damaged more than this. This is definitely not a wild animal, for he died of blood loss."

"A vampire killed him," Sanguini said.

"Who?"

"It could be anyone, so that's why Draco I want you to be careful, very careful. That Adam guy could have done this to get your attention," Sanguini said.

"He was Derek Hall's assistant, he said so," Draco said quietly. He wonders why Adam would attract his attention by killing Derek Hall.

"Just be careful," Sanguini warned.

At night, Luna sat on the bed and resting her back on the headboard, a piece of parchment and a quill in her hands, writing the names of people she'll invite to her wedding.

She glanced at Draco who laid his head on her lap, he seemed to be in deep thought, the frown on his forehead said so.

"Who do you want to invite at our wedding, Draco?" Luna asks, trying to attract his attention. But apparently he was not listening to her, so she tried again. "Draco?"

No answer. He still looked at the ceiling and barely blinked. She put her hand on his cheek. "Draco,"

Draco startled when Luna's palm made contact with his cheek had almost forgotten that she was there. "Luna," he took her hand from his cheek and kissed the palm.

"You're ignoring me," she said softly, neither angry nor offended.

"I'm sorry," Draco said.

His mind was full of questions about who the killer of Derek Hall was. And indeed the murderer was a Vampire, so what is his or her motive? He tried to assume, but he couldn't.

"What did you say?"

"Who will you invite at our wedding later?" She asked once more.

"Uhmm ..." He thought for a moment, he didn't have many friends, only a few. He also had no family, some of them dead and some may not want to recognize him as a family member, he only had his father.

"You want to invite Blaise maybe?" Luna suggested, she noticed that he was starting to think hard again.

"Yes, Blaise," he said softly. The last time he met Blaise was two years ago and they didn't talk much, "and maybe Goyle and Nott."

Luna nodded and wrote down the names of Goyle and Theodore Nott.

"What about Pansy?" Luna asked, glancing through her eyelashes.

Draco thought for a moment. Inviting Pansy will only cause problems, but if he didn't invite her, she will probably come without invitation and destroy his lovely wedding. "Yes,"

"Uhmm," Luna nodded and wrote Pansy's name.

"Don't get me wrong, love, I don't want her to come without invitation and ruin everything and demand why I didn't invite her," Draco said suddenly as he felt Luna's eyes staring at him and penetrating into his skull.

"I understand," Luna muttered darkly.

"Please, do understand, I love you," he said and hugged her tightly around her waist and buried his face in her flat stomach.

She smiled and ran her fingers over his platinum blond hair. "I understand, Draco," she said softly.

As his face pressed against her flat and tight stomach, Draco suddenly thought about how her stomach would never swell. Her stomach would always be flat, no matter how hard they fear began to run through him and he felt his chest tighten. He should tell her, better now than later.

"Luna," he pulled away and pulled himself in a sitting position beside her. "I have to tell you something."

She looked at him with a frown. "What's the matter, Draco?"

"It's about us, about our future," he said quietly. He turned his head to her and looked at her.

"What is it?" Luna starts to worry, especially how Draco's face looked serious.

He took a breath and opened his mouth but he closed it again, he didn't know where to start or what to say.

"Draco, tell me?" Luna encouraged him.

"I've saw you cooing over the Weasley girl's swollen belly," he said, refusing to make eye contact with her, choosing to look at the glowing ring that rested on her finger."I've seen how fascinated you were over her and her pregnant belly."

Luna smiled. "It's every woman's dreams," she said.

"That's the problem," he said softly. "You will never feel it, it will never happen to you," he told her. He paused for a moment and waited for her to respond, for her reaction. But nothing. She did nothing. "You will never get pregnant Luna. Your reproductive organs no longer work, nor do mine, I will never be able to give you a baby." His eyes began to sting, tears threatened to fall. He wouldn't know what to do if Luna left him. He is the one who made her like this. He turned her into a monster.

But it shocked him as she grabbed his hands and held it.

"I know," she said simply.

He looked up and looked at her; he was surprised to find a smile on her lips. "You know?"

She nodded. "The day when I realized I wanted to be with you I research about Vampires. I read some books about Vampires, and I found that the female Vampire never get pregnant, but that's not surprising though."

"So you're all right about the baby?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I have considered that well," she said softly. "We could adopt."

"They will never be ours. You will never feel how our baby kicks for the first time inside your stomach," he said.

"I know, but that's okay," she replied with a smile.

"So you will not leave me?"

"Why would I?" Luna asked in amusement.

Draco grinned broadly. Opening his arms wide, scooping her up. He showered her face with tiny, wet kisses that made her giggle.

Thank you to my wonderful beta Helo Belo
