CHAPTER 24 Sudden Turn Of Events

Luna decided to spend her vacation with her father. Well, for some teenagers, they would label it as 'the most horrible vacation ever', but for Luna, every day spent with her father was a memory worth keeping for.

She stared distractingly to the spoon inside her cup that was full of hot chocolate. With her head rested to her palm, and eyes blank, her father squinted his eyes curiously at his troubled daughter, curious because he had never seen her so puzzled. Slowly, he grabbed his own cup from the table and made his way to sit next to Luna, where he patted his daughter's head just like how he always do when she was distracted and he needed her attention.

"Oh hi Daddy" she turned her head to look at him, a childish smile formed on her face as she met face to face with her father. He smiled back, cupping her cheek inside his hand to smoothen his daughter's skin.

"What's troubling you, love?" their bond was close and he knows when she was hiding something from him. He also knew that everday, time is running, he was getting older and so was his daughter. "Nothing, Daddy. Must've been the wrackspurts" she said, turning her head to stop her eyes from looking straight to his own blue orbs. A small smile formed on his lips as he analyzes what was currently happening.

He watched her as she grew up. He tried to shield his daughter from the reality, he fears that she might not handle it, he didn't want her to expirience struggles. But then, when Berenice died, Luna proved him wrong; actually, she was stronger than he was. He was once broken and damaged, but he grew strong for his daughter, because his daughter was strong and she needed to know that she was not alone.

"Tell me" he grabbed her hand, encouraging her to continue.

"It's about a boy" she leaned side-viewed inside her arms, then added "was it wrong that I still love him?"

In truth, he was shocked to hear his daughter say those things. It only proves that she was not the same seven year old anymore, his little angel grew into a woman. And now, she was experiencing one of the most beautiful thing in life; falling inlove. Somehow, he hopes she would do okay with that topic. It was the trickiest thing to experience, being inlove is beautiful and wonderful but being broken is a different thing.

"Well, Luna dear- nobody said love is easy."

It was March 1, Ronald's birthday and they have this little surprise for him for the evening. The Gryffindor table was filled with all of the goodies Ron ever wanted in one seat. Besides from the goodies, the presents were all lined up inside the dormitory, assisted by Harry.

Apparently, the boy did enjoyed his meal. Mostly the bucket of chicken that he had eaten, and maybe, the sucking faces that he had shared with Lavender Brown.

After the few exchanges of happy birthday's and chit chat's finally, Ron called it a night. Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Neville, and Ron went to their dormitories, wanting to open the gifts that he had received. But then, Luna, being a Ravenclaw, was left behind. She didn't mind though, since they would probably talk about the gifts tomorrow, and that, she can already imagine their happy faces and jokes that the twins would share.

She sighed happily and made her way to the Library, wanting to gain some quiet time with her book.

As she sat herself to the Restricted Section of the room, she opened her copy of Alice and the Wonderland. The pages were opened and her eyes were on it, but then the book reminds her about something-

"Can I share the table with you?" she heard a man's voice say,somehow, the sound of the voice sent numerous of sparks on her tummy.

"It's alright" she replied back to the familiar voice, trying to shrug the feeling out.

"I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then." she voiced out the quote that she seems to read over and over again. She wasn't paying much attention to what she was actually reading. She had already read the book five times now, but then, she needed a distraction, a way to forget about him.

"But what if the past is worth bringing back?" Luna paused. She closed the book and setted it to the table, her lower lip was bitten by her upper front teeth. "It depends i-"she stopped talking as she saw who was the mysterious man on the table, and strangely the man wasn't so surprised to see her at all.

Draco was still waiting for her to reply, his eyes staring on hers. She opened her mouth to speak, although she can't seem to find her voice. He stood up from his seat, he can't help the small hint of tears on the side of his eyelids. Luna tilted her head slowly, never leaving eye contact with him. There was a pregnant pause and then, Luna seem to register what was happening. She stood up, bowing her head to gather all her things, wanting to leave just to get away from him "Luna, I-" he grabbed her shoulder, turning her head to tilt upwards towards him. Their eyes collided to one other and Draco licked his lips as he bowed his head lower to hers.

He crouched his head and their foreheads collided. Slowly, he also leaned his head and their lips made contact.

She went frozen on her spot,the strange realization of founding herself not wanting to back away from him. Instead, she tiptoed her toes and closed her eyes, leaning in a bit deeper to taste and smell him once again.

"Luna, something happened to Ro-" just like that, they broke apart. Both of them eyes wide and looking at their intruder. "I-I'll come with you" Luna hugged her book deeper in her chest and brisk walked to Ginny, clearly not wanting to look at Draco, too shocked about the sudden turn of events. But them, like them, Ginny was also looking as shocked as they were.
