Chapter 19- Trouble Around the Corner

Luna woke up with the sudden realization that she was bare and that, there was something warm wrapped around her stomach-which strangely makes her feels so safe and loved. She decided to let her eyes open, resulting them to squint because of the sudden light hitting her eyesight. For a moment, she stayed frozen on her spot, closing her eyes for a few times, debating with herself whether she would actually break the peace of her slumber by standing up or to just stay with Draco- Draco.

Then, realization hits her hard. She turned gently to look at Draco's sleeping form. The light illumites around him making him look like one of the sculptures that she saw in a muggle museum; with pointed facial features, angelic and intimidating presence. He looks so beautiful, she thought. There was a smile slowly forming on her face, the thought of her falling for him even more was impossible for her a few days ago, but she guesses that she was wrong.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he smiles goofily at her, his husky voice making her cheeks color to their most reddish kind. "I find you beautiful everyday" she confesses shyly but with confidence written on her face. The man next to her shows her the smirk that makes her stomach tie in knots. She closed her eyes, resting her temple against the calm beating of his heart. There would come a time when she decides whether the moment she was currently in would be worth remembering, and by the looks of it, she never wanted to leave, and importantly, she would never love the thought of leaving him.

"I'm looking forward waking up next to you everyday" she rolled her eyes as he climbed up at the top of her body with his arms supporting his weight. He dipped down his head towards to her own, inching towards to her lips, and she met him halfway. "That would be lovely"

"Where the bloody hell did you disappeared to?" Ginny Weasley immediately attacked her with questions as soon as she had set her foot inside the Great Hall. Instead of responding, to see Ronald Weasley lip-locking with Lavender Brown was a big shock. "They began dating after Gryffindor won the match" Luna should've agreed and accept their relationship wholeheartedly, but she knows too well that it was wrong; since Ronald was inlove with Hermione- even if they don't know it yet. "That's interesting" maybe it was a part of fate's plan to get the two oblivious people together or maybe they were really meant to be. But instead of questioning eveything, Luna let herself be in fate's act as if she understands completely.

"Tell me, what happened last night that made you look like you're walking in sunshine" Ginny started their conversation, raising her eyebrow with her challeging stare.

"We made love" Luna replied back simply at Ginny and that made the redhead think about her words twice. At first, Ginny's only response was to stare blankly at Luna, her mouth opening slowly as wide as how she imagines a lion's mouth could be.

"With the ferret?" Luna let the insulting name slide, instead of correcting her bestfriend, she let her mind wander again to the wonderful time that she had with Draco no less than twenty hours them inside her head made the sides of her lips lift dashingly, and so did her participation in reality got erased because of him.

"My name's Draco Malfoy, er- female Weasley" It was almost a habit of his to appear everytime someone might sabotage his name infront of Luna. As usual, the redheaded girl rolled her eyes at him.

He ignored the girl with placing his eyes towards Luna. She stared back at him with the same dashing smile that she would always wear everytime he was around. There's something about her lips that makes him want to scoop her inside his arms and mark her as his, but then, he was too afraid that he would hurt Luna. He never had been so possessive over a person before, and he certainly wouldn't like to see himself getting all selfish over his angel.

"Hullo" she said softly, while walking next to him.

"Hi" he wrapped his arm around her waist. Slowly, his head dived down to her neck, kissing her pulsing point. Strangely, kissing the side of Luna's neck had became one of his obsession. It somehow made him feel safe and calm when he would feel her being alive, just the thought of her surviving was enough for him not to give up in life just yet; infact, Luna Lovegood keeps him from loosing his control, just all about her makes him feel like life was worth keeping.

"That's disgusting" Ginny interrupted them

"We got it Malfoy, Luna's only yours, yeah we already know but Get. A. Room" and so did Blaise. The two disgusted students crossed their arms on their chest, the pure disgust was all over their face as they tease the couple. Draco smirked at them while Luna smiled knowingly between her two friends. She always knew that there's some kind of connection that kept on sparkling between her bestfriend and Blaise, something beautiful and lovely. It makes her happy to know that through her relationship with Draco, they might push the two not-so-lovebirds together.

"I think you would look good with Ginny, Blaise" she voices her thought to the Italian man. Immediately, Blaise looked nervously to his left, where the redheaded girl stood frozen on her spot.

"Luna what are you trying to imply?" Ginny demanded nervously, her eyes landing to Blaise every few seconds. The amazing moment wasn't unnoticed by Luna. It was strange for her to see Ginny so worked up like how she was acting. To top it all up, she thinks she saw Ginny nervously patting her hands on her skirt probably erasing evidence of her nervous sweating "Why not? It's not like I'm asking your hand in marriage" Blaise acted cool although it was obvious on his tone that he was nervous as well. It took the redhead a couple of seconds to answer. At first, she had zoned out but then, her lips lifted slowly with her head nodding along to his offer.

It was a happy moment for Luna to witness Ginny being so inlove and well, happy. Ginny was a very important person to Luna- since she was the first person to accept her in Hogwarts. And Ginny was always there for her when she needed someone.

"Luna love, let's leave them alone shall we?" Draco rested his hand on her shoulder, his whisper was sending goosebumps on her skin. She glanced up towards him and nodded in response, making him scoop his arm around the back of her waist. They retreaded slowly without disturbing the couple- well, even if they stomped around or anything, nothing can distract the two, especially when they're smiling goofily at each other like two idiots- but that's just how Draco sees them.

"Draco?" Luna asks quite suddenly while they were on their way to exit the Great Hall. Something had captured her curiousity and this time it wasn't just the invisible creatures lurking around the castle, it was something else and much more serious.

"Nevermind" But maybe she was just imagining it again.

So she decided to let go of the thought of Professor Snape looking at them with an expression she doesn't actually understand.
