Timeline: After Luna's left Hogwarts.

CHRISTMAS LUNCH, MUNCH, MUNCH

"It should be here…where is it?"

Luna Lovegood crawled through the caves. She'd been away from people so long, that it had totally slipped her mind that Christmas was just around the corner- even if she had remembered then it probably wouldn't have made any difference.

For Luna was on a bear hunt, but not just any bear, oh no- it was special. This bear was feeding on the habitants of the local wizarding village. Only one had lived so far. A man who'd watched the beast kill his family before bolting to safety. The beast was assumed (by Luna's father) to be the not-so-famous Kilamgio Bear. The one survivor had claimed that a bear had attacked his family and ripped their throats out, seemingly draining their blood- but there had been no proof.

And that was what Luna was determined to get.

Drusilla rocked in her cave. The little witch girl would nearly be there. What a tasty treat she would make, on Christmas as well, how lucky. They all thought she was a bear, but they were wrong. Grandmum had used to call daddy a bear sometimes, but she was not a bear. The naughty man had told fibs so that he wouldn't seem crazy, he should be spanked. Tut tut.

There was giggling from one of the caves. Luna went to investigate even though she was pretty sure that the kilamgio bear didn't giggle, but then you never knew really…

She peaked round the cave, excited as to what she might find. But it was only a woman, a crazy woman by the sounds of the giggling.

"Oooh look- my Christmas dinner is here, and I didn't even place an order, yum, yum."

Now Luna was on a different level to most people, things that didn't really make sense to others, made perfect sense to her. But this woman's crazy ramblings confused her totally. "Huh?"

"My Christmas lunch, munch, munch." She giggled again. She'd been doing that more and more recently now that Spike's calming effect had left her.

"What do you-"

She was cut off by the woman wailing. "They talk too loud, my head hurts. Drown them out, drown them out. All the pretty screaming, pretty screams- shrill and true."

Luna approached the 'woman' cautiously. She had curled up into a ball and was rocking back and forth with her head tucked into her knees. "It's okay…"

Drusilla had started singing. Luna went in closer to try and hear the muffled music.

"Deck the halls with blood of mortals, tra-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la. 'Tis the season to be tortured…"

Luna backed away alarmed. Who, or what, was this woman?

Drusilla heard her potential meal move away. She shifted into her game face and looked up just as the juicy looking girl slid out of the cave.

Luna looked back to see the monster coming after her. She screamed.

"Pretty screams." The vampire said delightedly. It was always best when they screamed.

Luna stumbled backwards out of the cave and into the sunlight.

Drusilla frowned and pouted. "Bad dog, ruff. Not playing fair. Daddy always caught the ones that didn't play fair for me and then there was a party with jelly and cakes."

Luna looked around fearfully. "Where's your Daddy now?"

Drusilla suddenly looked sad. "Daddy went poof with my Spike. And Grandmum left me, so I'm all alone. Boo hoo."

Luna's heart went out to the creature, vampire or not, she was hurting and while most people would have legged it, Luna was not most people. "I'm sorry."

"I'm the only one left. I'm all alone at Christmas. Not even puppy stayed to play."

"You had a puppy?"

Drusilla looked at Luna hungrily. "A little puppy who screamed so nicely."

"I can get you another puppy." Luna said obliviously.

"You can?"

"Yes. One of the villagers dog's just had a litter. I'm sure I can get one to keep you company."

Drusilla span around in the cave. "Christmas din-dins is back on! Hooray!"

Luna smiled, happy to make the vampire smile, but not really knowing why. "I'll be back in a minute, but then I have to finish looking for the bear. It's killed lots of villagers you know."

Drusilla stopped twirling and smirked. "You don't say."

As Luna left, Drusilla went back to spinning round and round. She didn't realise that her hand kept flashing into the sunlight until they were on fire.

Her first instinct was to scream, so she did. But she stopped when she realised it didn't really hurt. She looked at the flames dancing in her hands. "Oooh, fire pretty."

Luna returned five minutes later with a wriggling puppy, but when she looked for the strange woman she couldn't find her. All there was to show that anyone had been living in the cave was a heap of ash in front of the entrance in a beam of sunlight.
