Chapter 7: The break up
Luna's point of view
It was been at least four weeks since my fight with Harry. We have never talked or approached each other for the whole time but a talk with Draco while he was walking me towards the library (because we have free periods) made me realise something.
"Well, you have to resolve this somehow. It's something you can't ignore, moonlight. I mean, if you two work it out, it'll turn out fine. You can't just forget all of those memories you shared with him in just a blink of an eye" He explained.
I looked at him blankly and nodded. He put his hand on my shoulders and looked into my eyes.
"I know it's hard. Hard to remember those memories but this isn't going to end its self like a bubble that could pop easily. You have to make a decision" He told me softly as he squeezed my shoulder in a gentle manner.
I nodded and he smiled at me. While we continue our walk, there's been something running through my mind.
"Draco, can I ask you something?" I asked, hiding the nervousness from being exposed.
He looked at me in complete puzzlement. He knows that whenever I use his first name, it meant something serious.
"Yeah, what is it?" He asked me back.
"If I left...would you...would you...find me?" I stammered through my question.
He stopped walking and looked at me again with seriousness in his eyes.
"Of course, I'll find you and I wouldn't stop until I found you" He told me as we resumed walking.
"Just don't. Whatever happens, don't go looking for me" I explained sharply as I looked away.
"I need some time to find myself again" I spoke softly in my head.
He stared at me for while but he let it drop. I know how much it bugged him to wonder about the subject that I brought up yet he let me felt comfortable by not asking any further questions about what we talked about.
Harry was there standing and leaning against a tree. His hands were pocketed and he was looking down at the grass. I approached him as I kept on a smile in my face.
"Hey" He greeted me.
His voice was low and somehow, soft. He stared at the grass for awhile.
"I'll be leaving within two days" I told him.
He looked up at me as I noticed sadness was written in his eyes.
"Oh" Was he said.
It sounded sad and guilty as well as shame.
"I guess we're going to take separate ways, eh?" I asked him casually.
He looked down then at me.
"Yeah, I guess so too" He answered with the same tone but it was nearly inaudible.
Suddenly, silence hit us again. It always happened to us whenever we've talking about a serious thing yet this time it's rather different.
"Do you remember the promise?" I asked, shattering off the silence.
He nodded and smiled weakly.
"Well, I want you to promise you'll take of yourself, then" I explained.
He reached up his hand to make a 'pinkie promise' but I was smiling at him so he put it back in his pocket. It was then that I realised it was over.
"Yeah, I promise" He softly responded.
I turned my back on him and about to skip off my way out when he stopped me.
"You'll owl me a letter, right?" He asked as I felt hope in his voice.
I looked back at him and smiled again.
"Of course, a friendly letter" I answered him with few phrases before I skipped off.
I knew I'd hurt him but I have to move on. It wasn't working anymore. It was just there and it hurt me to just notice it as if it was nothing.
"I'm sorry but it'd be better this way" I whispered under my breath as I was skipping halfway towards the castle.
