Patronus
"Expecto patronum." A white hare shot from the end of Luna's wand, running around her feet before bouncing around the room excitedly.
Draco watched in amazement as the spell hopped about his feet before running into the wall and disappearing.
A large smile split Luna's face as she glanced back to Draco who was staring at her miserably. He had never had such a hard time learning a spell before.
With another flick of his wrist he spoke the words, "expecto patronum!"
But nothing happened, he just stared blankly at the tip of his wand as if it was the cause of the problem.
"Are you thinking happy thoughts? You obviously aren't if you're grimacing like that."
With an undignified look to the young with, he stuck his nose in the air.
"This is useless. Death eaters can't produce a patronus Luna. Can we please stop all this silliness now?"
He looked so defeated, it truly broke her heart.
Draco started to put his wand away when Luna yelped, "wait!"
Looking back up to her, she came over to stand beside him.
Taking her wand in hand again she held her arm out beside his mimicking his stance.
Her small body was pressed into his side, her scent overpowering his nostrils, her cheek was resting against his shoulder. A small shiver ran over his spine at their close proximity.
Almost too quiet to hear she began to speak again, "clear your mind completely. Don't think about your dark mark, don't think about the war, don't think about not being able to do this. Just blank."
With her soft breath caressing his ear like that it wasn't very hard to stop thinking. It was however very hard to not grab her and snog her till her lips turned purple.
"Think about the thing that makes you happiest, that fills you with more joy than anything else in the entire world, the one thing that will make you smile even on your darkest of days."
A vivid picture of eccentric blond curls and bright silver eyes flooded his mind with images.
"Now just let it flow Draco."
With a simultaneous flick of the wrist, and "expecto patronum," the hare once again appeared in front of them.
This time however, it was accompanied by a beautiful white fox sitting with its fluffy tale wrapped around its small body.
When the hare began to hop around the room again the fox hopped up and began to chase after it playfully.
Luna jumped into Draco's arms hugging him tightly as the two small animals ran all around them.
"I knew you could do it!" She was so happy for him.
As the astounded look on his face faded it was replaced with a blush.
He was unsure if Luna had realized it but it didn't escape his attention.
His patronus was an animal that took great pleasure in chasing after little hares.
Much in the same way he had learned to chase after her over the past year.
-A/N- Guys, I really liked this one ^-^ I thought it was cute! Anyways, I was wondering, does anyone else do this thing where you see people talking about a ship on tumblr and you're like, 'ummm no, they would never work out.' Then six hours later you're sitting there reading the fourth fanfic like, 'Oh my gosh, that's so them.' Because it's one of my worst habits on fanfic!
