Believe in Heaven
Chapter 1



Things over the wizardry world were getting worse everyday. More and more rumors about the Dark Lord's return appeared everyday. But the families that were suffering the most were the pureblood ones.


Not all pure bloods believed in the Dark Lord, naturally. But everyone was so afraid of the new war that they would barely let a pureblood baby get close to their house. Being a pureblood became a shame.


And so all that were pure bloods and weren't related to the Dark Lord avoided the subject and even ignored their own blood. But not all pure bloods felt that way. Especially not the Malfoy.


"Lucius!" Narcissa, his wife, exclaimed. "You know things are hard. Especially now. And it's not all because you were sent to Azkaban! You escaped, of course. And no one even heard that you were sent there. And the Minister still trusts you somehow. But..."


"It's not up to you to ponder about what happens now." Lucius Malfoy interrupted. "We are not suppose to forget about what we really are."


"This is not about us!" she cried. "It's about the one you serve to."


Lucius sighed and got up from the couch he was sitting with his wife. He opened his mouth to speak but closed before anything could come out. He closed his eyes and opened them again quickly.


"It's time to find someone proper to our son, Narcissa." he said.


"Draco must find a fiancee, I agree. But not now! Let's wait things get better before anything." Narcissa said.


"Do you think that just because he get fiancee people will think his pureblood? Everyone knows very well what he are." Lucius said abruptly. Narcissa looked down to her feet.


"That's true. Then... I guess it's fine. After all, a fiancee is necessary for the ritual." she said, nodding.


"I'll get in touch with the Parkinson." Lucius announced, walking toward the door to leave the room.


"Who said I want my son to marry with Pansy Parkinson?" Narcissa asked loudly. Lucius turned to her with a puzzled expression. "Please, let's keep the family's good looks at least."


Lucius laughed just as his wife had spoken.


"So, you expect us to find a better pureblood girl for Draco? Is that it? Do you think there're that much pure bloods that would assume their blood now?" he asked.


"Yes." Narcissa answered, grinning. She got to her feet and handed her husband a piece of parchment. "This family is just as pure as we are. They have a daughter that is one year younger than Draco, but I don't think that's a problem." Lucius looked down at the parchment.


"Lovegood?"

Luna Lovegood woke up that morning feeling weird. And that was something rare. Usually she felt just cheerful. But that morning it was like if something bad could happen any minute. Naturally she would get over it, as she always did.


Luna brushed her long dirty blond hair for a moment and dressed plain light blue robes, her favorite. She yawned and opened the door of her room.


Luna's house wasn't big, but still it wasn't really small. The house had four bedrooms, two for guests. Each of these bedrooms had a closet and a bathroom. Then there was the kitchen, the living room, the laundry, the atrium and a few more rooms that she was never sure what was inside.


She walked down the stairs toward the kitchen. Their house-elf, Saki, was cleaning the floor. She was a really faithful house-elf. The daughter of their old house-elf, Sono. She cleaned and cooked really well.


"Good morning, Saki!" Luna greeted, sitting on a chair.


"Good morning!" the house-elf answered. "Do you want anything for breakfast?"


"No, thanks." Luna answered. "Where's dad?"


"He just left. He said he had to meet someone for breakfast." Saki said, leaving the kitchen.


Luna rested her head on the cold kitchen table. He said that they would have lunch somewhere with her that day. Luna just hoped he remembered that.


But he did not. She had lunch alone at home and spent the afternoon finishing her school work. It was almost eight o'clock PM when she heard a 'crack' downstairs.


"Dad!" Luna called, walking down the stairs. "You forgot abou-"


Her eyes widened. It wasn't just her father who was there. The man beside him looked up at her.


"Good night." Lucius Malfoy said, coldly.


"Luna, this is Lucius Malfoy." Luna's father said, faking a smile.


"I know who he is." she answered quickly. "I just don't know what he's doing here."


"I was just talking about a few things with your father." Lucius answered. He turned to Luna's father. "I hope you can make a good decision, Armand." and with a 'crack' he disapparated.


"What was he talking about, dad?" Luna asked, puzzled.


"Er... I guess we must have dinner know! Let's have dinner? Yes, yes... dinner." he said, and went quickly to the kitchen.


Luna followed him and sat on the other end of the table. The food was already in their plates and Luna's father was already eating quickly. Without a word she started eating too. The dinner ended without a word. Even after he had finished eating he was still staring down to his plate.


"Dad..."


"Ah, Luna... we have to talk." he said, looking at her directly into her eyes.


"Wha-?"


"You know that pure bloods are rare now... and they're... I mean... we're... well... rare. And pureblood marriages these days are hard and everything..."


"What are you talking about dad?" Luna asked, puzzled. "Even though we're pure bloods the others never really threaded us as such. Actually, we never followed all that 'Pureblood Rules'! We're just pure 'cause we were lucky enough to have a bunch of pureblood marriages."


"I know... I know... it's just that... well... Lucius talked to me today, you saw him." he said, taking his plate to the sink, where Saki was sitting on and washing the dishes. "He made me... us... sort of a proposal."


"Dad?" Luna asked shyly. "I know what this is all about."


"What?" he asked, in awe. She sure was smart enough to be a Ravenclaw.


"Are you gay dad?!" she asked with tears in her eyes.


"NO!!!! Nonononononononono~!!" he answered, shaking his head quickly.


"Then what?" she asked in a monotone voice, the tears completely disappeared.


"He wants you to marry his son, Draco."
