Chapter 8: The last Letter
Luna's point of view
"You promise, you'd write and tell me everything. If anything happened, give this a tap of your wand then whisper my name. I promise on my life, I'd be there" Draco told me as he gave a silver ball which has an engraved moon on it.
"I will, don't worry about me, Sunbeam. It'll just be like school holidays, okay?" I reassured him as I noticed a great anxiety in his eyes.
He smiled as he pulled me into a hug.
"I'll miss you and take care, my moonlight. Remember that I'll always be there for you" I heard him mutter under his breath.
I looked up at him as we flung our arms down. I nodded then, he placed a 'good luck' kiss on my forehead. It took awhile for him to bid goodbye to me. I smiled and waved a hand at him as I skipped off. He smiled at me, a sad smile that was mixed with happiness and worry. Around the corner of the corridor, I noticed Harry. He approached me with a weak smile (the same one when we met in the Forbidden Forest to tell him I'm leaving and we broke up).
"Hey" I greeted him this time.
"I guess you'll be going then. Be careful, okay?" He reminded me as his hands were still in his pockets.
I nodded and smiled back at him.
"You too" I told him.
He nodded and I hugged him. I know he's upset right now but he is my friend so I gave him a hug to cease his sadness. I let go of him and smiled. He smiled back weakly. When I was about to walk away (or skip away), a small tear fell from his eye. I turned my back and skipped off towards my destination.
Harry's point of view
I watched her skip away from me. Her shadow was fading and she was gone. I still stood there but I realised it was too late and it was never going to come back again. I slowly turned away and walked slowly. Knowing that where she maybe, she'll always be safe. Then, I stopped and turned to look back.
"(Sigh)... Goodbye, love" I softly sighed.
With that one last glace, I turned and walked away. It wasn't soon enough that I had gone to back to the training. Things were changing from the tiniest thing to a massive one yet I've learnt how to deal with change since there was a lot of changing happened in my life.
On one afternoon, I found a letter on the desk. It had a neat writing as it was wrapped around in a blue ribbon. I sat on the chair as I slowly picked up the letter.
"Luna" Was the name I muttered.
I recognised the way the ribbon was tied up; a loop was large than the other and how neat her hand writing was. I was eager to know what the letter contained but still I felt a small wave of sadness while I open the letter. It was quite rather short but at least she did prove her promise. I snatched some parchment, envelope and quill from my drawer and started to write my reply. Her letter reads:
Dear Harry,
How are you? I am doing great! Things are okay here and I hope things were doing fine there too...
Your friend,
Luna
