Chapter X: Daughter of Ravenclaw

Luna skipped from the bedroom the next morning, but only after giving Harry a kiss on his forehead. His hair was still matted to his forehead, and his hands were still bound by the chains. The light of the sun beat down upon him, but he still didn't rise - he looked so cute lying there all worn out. Luna bounded down the steps and slid into the kitchen with aid from the smooth floor. Her socks propelled her to the kitchen table and she took a seat, offered to her by Knoby.

Luna scanned the morning Prophet and soon found herself joined by Draco, whose face looked as bright as the morning sun shining on Harry upstairs. "Good morning Draco, sleep well?"

"Too well. A full eight hours of well, to be in fact." He said sourly, happily accepting some toast from Knoby.

Luna felt brave. "Bad bed partner?" she sipped her morning tea, which was flavored with Cardamom again.

"Hardly."

"Good bed partner?" Luna remembered Ginny's habits from their days in school.

"No, bad dreams, if you have to know."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's Astoria. I can't escape her even in my dreams."

Luna grinned.

"What's that for?" he looked at her as if she were making fun of him.

"Tell me Draco, what split you and Astoria up?"

"I honestly couldn't stand her. Daphne introduced us- I took her to The Cauldron…that was a mistake. She's always so controlling, a damned Slytherin through and through. Not that that's bad, all the time, it's just she's so …wicked! " he buttered his toast with wanton venom.

"So that's how you met her, didn't you think she was a bit young?"

"It was only two years difference, nothing that major thank you just the same."

"Sorry if I offended you, you look like you need someone to talk to. I know with Ginny you might not get much talking in, if she's still as energetic as she was in school."

Draco laughed. "She hasn't changed too much, I imagine."

"Why did you marry her? Astoria I mean."

"Seemed like a bright idea at the time, we liked each other- the attraction was there sure."

"There's got to be more to a relationship than just that, you know. Like with Harry and I we have mind blowing…"

"I would prefer not to hear about Harry's sexual accomplishments, thanks all the same."

"…discussions."

Draco looked like he had swallowed one of Umbridge's kittens. "Oh."

"Of course if you wanted to hear about them, I would understand, I too find myself commonly thinking of Harry's sexuality. He's opened up a lot, I'm sure he wouldn't mind having a …"

"I don't want a threesome with Potter! Bleeding Baubles!"

"…one on one conversation about technique, actually."

Draco remained quiet as his face turned as red as the jam on his toast.

"Have you considered trying to get Scorpius back under your supervision? If Astoria is as bad as you say she is, that can't be a good influence on your son."

"I can't, I get her in front of a custody judge and my tongue gets as twisted up as…"

"Harry upstairs?"

Draco's eyes became as wide as Luna's smile. "Now that's just cruel," he said, pointing a finger at her.

Luna giggled. "I'm not sorry for saying it, but please, continue."

"right, well I get tongue tied," he said, raising his eyebrows at her, daring her to make a comment. None came. "and she's always so cool up in front of the judge, I always end up sounding like the child."

"What lengths would you go to, Draco, to get your son back?"

He considered her for a moment and Luna watched him carefully. "I would do anything for my son."

"Tell me Draco, what would you say if I could get you Scorpius?"

"I would say you're probably perfectly capable of it. Can it be done?"

"Oh yes, it can. But I want something in return."

He eyed her, and she calmly maintained her focus on him, heartbeat still at a steady pace.

"And that would be, what?"

"I want the Banestrode Chain of Submission."

He nearly choked on his tongue and his eyes dared to burst from their sockets.

"But,…no!"

"No?" Luna stood up and stared him down, energy crackling in her eyes as she placed both hands on the kitchen table.

"No."

"Not even for your son? The heirloom needs to be passed on Draco, its been in the Malfoy line for too long."

"And just what would you do with it? Teach Harry a lesson?"

"What I do with the inheritance is little concern of yours, Abraxus is dead, and it is time it went to my family again."

The minutes passed by, not even Knoby dared to move a muscle.

"You are sure you can upset her?"

"I'll do more damage to her than you ever could have done to Ginny even with that Chain."

Draco smirked, making him look twenty years younger, minus the pink scar under his left eye. "Deal, Miss Lovegood."

"Deal, Mister Malfoy."

"Shall we do the thing properly then?"

"Knoby, can you do me a favor?" Luna asked, hunching down on both knees and motioning the apprehensious House Elf over.

"Anything for you, Mrs. Potter." he spoke up, wringing his hand in the other.

Luna smiled. "Not yet," she whispered in his ear. "but with any luck. Hehe."

Draco stared on in wonder, legs crossed one over the other.

"Knoby, can you perform the binder ceremony for Draco and I?"

"Of course, my lady," the house elf dusted off his feet and jumped up onto the table, and withdrew a six inch long maple wand.

Draco nodded and took Luna's hand as she offered it.

"Draco Malfoy, do you promise to return the Banestrode Chain of Submission to me, once I have undone Astoria Greengrass-Malfoys' sense of calm?"

"I do."

Knoby tapped their joined hands once.

"And do you, Luna Lovegood, promise to undo Astoria Greengrass-Malfoys' sense of calm when I call another custody suit?"

"I do."

Knoby tapped their hands twice, and a green light escaped from his wand and bathed them in a green light.

"It is done." Knoby said, hopping down from the table.

"A pleasure doing business with you, Draco."

"I look forward to what you have in mind, daughter of Ravenclaw."

The breakfast was cleared away after they both left, and Luna did wonder where Harry had placed his gift from Grillshenk.
