Chapter One: A Love Spell and a Blood Oath

The next morning, the were woken by a knock on the door. Luna and Hermione got out of bed and stood at the top of the stairs, watching. There was a woman at the door. Aunt Sophia and Aunt Georgina looked at each other.

"Get the bird." Aunt Georgina said, resigned.

"Get the book," Aunt Sophia replied.

-A Few Minutes Later-

"Are you sure this is what you want?" Aunt Sophia asked the woman.

"Yes, he's all I think about." Aunt Georgina held the dove in her hands.

"I want him to want me so bad, he can't stand it." and she pierced the bird with a long needle.

"Be careful what you wish for dear." Aunt Georgina said, quietly.

"I never want to fall in love, I never want to fall in love." Hermione muttered from her place on the stairs.

"I can't wait to fall in love." Luna said, dreamily.

-Later that night-

Hermione plucked the pettle from a rose and placed it in the wooden bowl she carried.

"He will hear my call from a mile away." she plucked another.

"His favorate color will be black." Luna came into the room as Hermione plucked another rose pettle.

"Whay are you doing?" she asked.

"Summoning up a true love spell," she replied. "He'll be a master in the kitchen. He'll sarcastic but kind." she plucked more rose pettles.

"His favorate shape will be a star. He'll have black eyes, greasy hair, and a long nose."

"Eww, come on," Luna said. "Besides, I thought you never wanted to fall in love."

"What the point? The guy I dreamed up doesn't exist. And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart." She walked to the balcony and held out the bowl of pettles. They floated up in a sudden gental gust of wind and seem to swirl a circle around the moon before disappearing into the night.

-Years Later-

"Hermione." Luna said, giggling as she ran out to the balony. She threw the bag of stuff she was carrying to a man standing in the garden below.

"Wow." Hermione said.

"Oh Herm, you have no idea."

"Do you really love him enough to marry him?"

"Its enough. I hate it her. I want to go where no one's ever heard of us."

"I'll miss you." Hermione said quietly.

"We'll see each other again. We'll grow old together, just you and me. Just two old broads living in a big house with all these cats. And I bet we did on the same day." Hermione giggled.

"You swear?"

"Honey?" Luna called down to the man in the garden. "I need your pocket knife." He threw it to her. She opened it and placed it against her palm. Then she dragged it across and made a cut.

"My blood..." she took Hermione's hand and did the same. "Your blood." Then they clasped their hands together.

"Our blood." she said. Then she gave her sister a hug and jumped down on to the shoulders of her lover. Hermione watched her sister and them man until they were lost from view.
