Believe in Heaven
Chapter 9

Luna ran down the corridors, followed closely by Narcissa. You could easily see the fury on their eyes. Narcissa was so the most furious of them for she couldn't believe it was her idea to match her son up with that girl. She could also be feeling very guilty: her son's intimation would be ruined if things kept going that wrong.

"You do not dare running away from me!" she shouted, raising her arms.

"I'm not running." Luna said, stopping. She turned to Narcissa grinning. "So, I stopped. What are you gonna do next? Kill me? Go on and try."

Narcissa opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out.

"As I thought." Luna said, turning her back once more.

"Wait." Narcissa spoke softly, holding Luna's wrist. "If you try anything with Draco it's not something negative to me at all. It's for him. You don't know him at all, please... just leave him alone. He has a destiny planned already."

"That you've planned." Luna pulled her wrist off the woman's grasp.

"No. That he has planned for himself. You see now how he didn't tell you anything? He's been training since he was a baby to be strong, to help his father and I. Maybe now he only wants to be strong, which is understandable, for we never supported him much." Narcissa paused to catch her breath. "But he still wants to be strong, and you're not gonna be much more than a weakness. You'd ruin his dream."

"I make me own decisions, and I decided to talk to him before anything. I can't believe in a single word you say. Not because it's you... no. Actually, I could even trust you. But..." Luna looked down to her feet and started walking again, this time faster. "I want to hear everything from him."

Draco sat down on his favorite couch of the library. He looked up to his father, standing on the opposite side of the room, staring out of the window. Snow slowly fell from the sky, covering everything with white. Draco's least favorite time of the year.

He enjoyed cold, but it also reminded him of when he still a baby walking around the house. His parents were so busy with everything after the Dark Lord's "destruction" they would hardly speak to him like they used to. Even tough they didn't seem like caring people, they cared for him. Or at least they cared a long time ago.

Draco was walking around the cold mansion dragging his teddy bear. He was only two years old, but he could already understand what the adults were talking about. He was among them all the time, after all. Draco saw the door to the backyard open and couldn't help but walk through it.

It was snowing so much it was hard to see anything at all. He hugged his teddy bear and gave a few steps and stopped. It was too cold. He turned around to leave but the door was closed. And inside the kitchen Draco heard his mom speaking really fast with of her friends. She'd not seem him.

Draco quietly cried, hugging his teddy bear even harder. Then he hear steps coming toward him. He looked up and there he was. The same blonde hair as his. The same light blue eyes as his. He grabbed Draco in his arms and covered him with his dark coat.

"What are you doing out here?"

"Dad!!!" Draco cried, hugging his father tightly.

"Don't cry..." Lucius said softly, running his fingers on his son's hair.

Lucius opened the kitchen's door and walked in. Narcissa's eyes widened and she ran to her son.

"Draco! No, don't cry." she said, smiling. Narcissa got Draco from his father's arms and hugged him. "You have to be strong, Draco. Mom and Dad can't save you all the time, you know? But when you need help, when you're not strong enough, you can call us. We'll be there."

Draco blinked a few times, confused. Stronger...?

"Draco!" a voice called him and he was back to reality. "What were you doing?"

"Nothing." he answered, coldly. His father was staring at him, just like when he was young. This time there was no kindness on his face. "So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Well..." Lucius started, giving a long sigh. "I just wanted to say you're doing the right thing. The Dark Lord is returning and I can hardly do anything for him since I've been discovered."

"Yeah, sure. I know all that." Draco got up and stretched his arms. "I'll go find Luna now."

Draco's finger touched the doorknob when his father spoke once more. And it was impossible not to notice how their voices were similar. Just as drawling and bored.

"You should avoid her. For the sake of your mission as a Death Eater." he said.

"I know what I'm doing." Draco responded, turning the doorknob.

"I'm afraid you don't." Lucius said, with another one of his long sighs. "She's a weakness. Your mother and I have told you that already. And you still insist on this?"

"Why would she be a weakness?" Draco questioned, with his back still turned to his father.

"That girl would be your weak spot. If you're attacked there, you might certainly lose." Lucius said, closing his eyes slightly. "I know you care for her. And if you do... you must let her go."

Draco walked out of the door. Without bothering to close the door.

* * *

Luna asked for a few elves were was her room. And it was quite easy to find it. She was surprised her room was beautiful. Luna thought they would treat her bad to scare her, or treat her very well, to make her change her mind. And she was glad they picked the second choice.

The room wasn't very big, but there was a door covered with dark purple curtains that leaded to a balcony. The room was dark with only a few burning candles, a bed with purple velvet sheets and an old willow cabinet.

She laid down on her bed and closed her eyes. So many things were happening and she couldn't be herself anymore. Luna hadn't read a Quidditch magazine or talked to her Daddy in a long time. Sooner or later she would feel that way: miserable.

Luna felt tears wetting her cheeks as she remembered of Draco. She obviously loved him, but she didn't want to cause any trouble. Especially not with his parents.

If she had only given up when she had the chance nothing would have turned out that way. Luna would be home with her Dad, waiting for the Christmas' presents and eating her Grandma's food. But no! Luna was too easily tricked and she let herself be dragged into that mess.

Luna jumped when she heard a knock on the door. Before she could even answer Draco walked into the room. His face wasn't one of the happiest ones. Luna dried her tears quickly with her blue robe's sleeve.

"D-Draco?" she questioned, trying to sound natural.

"You were crying, weren't you?" he asked, rolling his eyes. Luna shook her head. "My mother said something bad to you, right?"

"No... it's nothing, really." Luna got up and faked a smile. Draco moved closer to her and hugged her. Luna started with a few sobs and, without noticing, she was already crying again. "I want to go home!!"

Draco let go of her and stared at her with a worried look on his face.

"I don't want to cause you any trouble to you..." Luna whispered, resting her head on Draco's chest. "I want you to be with you... but what I want to most is for you to be happy."

"Luna... Nothing would make me happier than being with you." he whispered in her ear with a grin.

"But... I'm a weakness..." she sobbed.

"Oh... so they told you the same thing..." Draco shook his head. How far would his parents go to ruin everything. And it was even more frustrating to think that they weren't always like that. "Don't listen to them. We'll go trough everything together."

Luna looked up to him. Her eyes amazed Draco. How could they always be so alert and blink so little? It was so annoying! But in a cute way. Just like her odd and large earrings and necklaces. They were so ugly and never matched her clothes at all, but he liked them anyway.

But when did Draco Malfoy suddenly changed that much? Even himself wasn't sure. When did he get so emotional and... in love? It was a good feeling.

Draco looked down and noticed Luna was speaking really fast of how mean his mother was and how she didn't want to be something negative for him.

Kiss.

Draco moved his face quickly and kissed her just as she spoke. Luna widened her eyes, if that was even possible, and was about to complain when Draco wrapped her arms around her and held her close to him.

"Shut up..." he said, when a little 'gap' between their mouths appeared.

Luna gave in and let herself be taken over by Draco's delicious essence. Because that had to be some sort of addicting essence. A spicy yet sweet one, which made her whole body lose control and forget about everything else. All she could think about was Draco, Draco, DRACO! She hated him so much.

Draco wanted to have that feeling forever, and so did Luna. A kiss meant so much for them. It meant to be connected together, connected more than any sort of dark spell. Their souls where connected, not their bodies. Not even their minds, because our mind is something so simple that can be easily taken over. The Dark Wizards'd proved that years ago.

Luna was happy, but he wanted something more. He wanted an even bigger emotion. More than that connection, he wanted to be her. And so he found the answer.

Draco ran his tongue down her chin until he reached her neck. He sucked her neck softly and many different spots as he pressed his body closer to her.

Pushing her to the bed, Draco took some hair off her eyes and smiled, kissing her once more. He started kissing her gently on the mouth. Her hands held his back tightly but not as much as he thought she would. Luna was so unaware of what he had in mind. She was so innocent, so deliciously innocent.

Draco started kissing her chin, then her neck and her chest. He ran his hand down her leg until he reached the last part of her robe. Then he discreetly put his hand under it and ran it all the way up again. He pulled her robes up slightly.

Luna was so absorbed by his mysterious essence that it took her some time to notice what was happening. She opened her eyes quickly and kicked him right where it hurt the most and got up.

"WHAT ARE DOING?!?!?" Luna screamed, pulling her robes to the right place. She grabbed a pillow and started hitting his head. "Pervert!! Pervert!! Pervert!!"

"Ouch..." Draco held his 'delicate' area in pain. "Don't punish me if you're afraid of doing anything..."

"This might not be your first time, you impure PERVERT! But it's mine! And I'm not in the mood either!" Luna shouted, hitting him one last time with the pillow.

"Ok... I just thought I should give it a try... that's all..." Luna sighed.

She moved closer to Draco and hugged him, kissing his head softly.

"We have an initiation to go. And I think it's gonna be a lot of fun." she said cheerfully.

"Heh... I wish."
