Believe in Heaven
Chapter 6

Luna was coming back from the library late that night. For the past few days she had been feeling a lot happier for finally becoming Draco's fiancée. And she once had thought she would never say such thing! Everything changes, indeed, Luna thought.

But a few horrible rumors were making her feel unsafe. Ginny told her the day before during herbology.

"Have you heard about the 'Exterminators', Luna?" Ginny asked.

"They're not the guys from that muggle movie, right?" Luna said, scratching her head.

"What?"

"Never mind..."

"Anyway, they are hunting pure bloods!" Ginny explained. "They got two of Slytherin girls last night and they tortured them so much they can't even speak anymore! No spell is good enough to cure them! They just keep saying 'Exterminators, exterminators, exterminators...'"

"That's awful... poor pure bloods..." Luna said, shaking her head. But deep inside she was scared. Scared of what could happen to her!

"I was afraid of walking by myself at night." Ginny said, looking down to her feet. "Harry said he would go with me from the library to the Gryffindor Tower but... sadly... they just torture the pure bloods related to You-Know-Who."

"Ahhh~, now that's better! After all, not all pure bloods are evil." Luna pretended to sigh in relief. But, again, deep inside she was afraid that her fiancée position made her a pure blood related to You-Know-Who. And she didn't even have Draco to walk with her at night.

And that was why she was so scared that night. She walked without making a noise throw the corridors. If they couldn't hear her, they couldn't catch her. But, on the other hand, nobody knew she was a pure blood. And even if they did, no one knew she was Draco's fiancée.

Luna sighed in relief truthfully this time when a hand covered her mouth and pulled her inside a dark room. She fell on the ground and looked up. A figure dressed in black pointed the wand to her. She was about to shout when a spell hit her and she fainted instantly.

Draco Malfoy was lying on a couch of the Slytherin common room. He had his eyes closed while he was thinking of his life. Not really about his life, anyway. It was more specifically about one person: Luna Lovegood.

Everyone always called her Loony and said horrible things about her personality. But that was just her. Always happy and cheerful, even in the worst situations. And that was something he admired about her.

If he could at least smile like her on bad moments... he would a lot happier. And to tell the truth since he talked to her the day before he could not stop thinking about her.

Everything about Luna amazed him. From her personality to her appearance. She was always looking cute and agitated, how couldn't she cheer up everyone around her? And Draco felt that she could complete a part of him that was missing since the day he was born.

His whole life was serious. Everything his parents said was truth, especially when they were doing 'business' with other people. Even their funniest joke wasn't a joke, it was reality. They really thought goblins were stupid when they told goblins jokes. Not that goblins weren't stupid...


But the truth was: Draco missed some happiness. And he felt like... if he could just keep her with him the rest of his life... but he couldn't. Many girls wanted to be with him, but the only one he wanted to be with... didn't want him. Luna thought he was a complete idiot, and even evil perhaps. But life was just like that, punishing the ones that had to be punished.


But suddenly he heard a scream. Draco opened his eyes quickly. That scream sounded so much familiar... could it be the Exterminators rumors was true? And if it was... Luna could be in danger! Or it could be just his mind but he couldn't risk it.



Draco got to his feet quickly and ran down the hall searching for the secret room Slytherins had for years. It was the only one that could be easily heard from the common room. She had to be there!

When Luna opened her eyes again she was chained against a wall by her wrists and ankles. Her whole body hurt but especially her head. So much couldn't hold her head up. Luna looked down to the ground when the sound of footsteps echoed on the room.

Suddenly a tall figure all dressed in white entered the room. His whole face covered with a thick hood. He walked forward.

"I'm glad the students are finally letting us know who are the traitors around here." a masculine voice said.

"Traitors?" was all Luna could hardly say.

"Why, yes! Traitors!" he exclaimed, removing his hood.

He was quite a handsome boy. He couldn't be much older than Luna herself. Maybe a year older, but not much. He had dark black hair with two red highlights in the front. He smiled at her.

"I don't know you..." Luna said. "How do you know me?"

"I don't. But the one that told about you knows. And one of our members also does." While he was speaking another three figures in white robes appeared. And, for Luna's surprise, she really did know one of them.

The first one was no one else other than Ron Weasley himself, Ginny's brother.

"Ron, you're an Exterminator! Why? You're a pure blood, aren't you?" Luna asked, blinking many times as she spoke.

"Yeah. But I'm related to You-Know-Who. And I never thought you would be related to him but..." Ron shuddered. "That's weird coming from you, you know."

"Well, it's not like if you didn't surprise me either." Luna rolled her eyes. "Ginny was really scared of you guys. Why would you ever scare your little sister anyway?"

"Well, if we have to stop You-Know-Who we have to eliminate those about to join him. And Hogwarts is the best place to look for pure blood traitors, right?" Ron said. Luna nodded, he was a little bit right.

"But still!!" she shouted all of a sudden. "You don't have the right to torture people!!"

"You-Know-Who didn't have either, and he still tortured and killed many people..." the first boy interrupted. "And we'll have to do the same if we want to stop him."

Ron put his hood back and all four of the them took their wands out of the pocket and walked forward. The black haired boy pointed his wand at her and a spell hit her hard in he stomach.

"Ahh!" she screamed, coughing up blood.

Another two of those spells hit her until she felt a stronger pain in the chest. Certainly, one of her ribs was broken.

"Feeling guilty already?" the dark haired boy asked. Luna just smiled.

"I think we should stop..." Ron's voice said, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder.

"No!" he shouted, and Ron stepped backwards.

He pointed the wand now directly to Luna's heart.

"Where's your Death Eater fiancé when you need him, eh?" he asked, muttering the spell slowly.

But he suddenly stopped. His eyes widened and he fell forward, hitting hard the floor. Luna could hardly see anything, but she could see a silvery blond haired boy standing on the door way.

"He's right here." Draco's cool voice said.

Luna smiled, almost fainting when she felt her wrists and ankles being released. Even if she wanted she couldn't have stand still. She fell on the ground.

"Luna!" she heard a voice calling.

She opened her eyes slightly and saw Draco's worried face.

"Are you alright?" he asked. Luna smiled and tried to touch his smooth pale skin with her fingers but her seemed to be so far away. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"You... you said my name. heh." Luna said, fainting right after.
