Word Count: 299. Prompt #5 Hiding
Again thank you everyone who has reviewed and add-alerted this humble dribble :)
They were hiding from Filch when they found it. It was way past curfew, but neither of them minded. It was a tradition to take a night stroll in the forest.
The couple were currently in a empty classroom, hearing the footsteps of the squib and his cat.
Some minutes passed. "He's gone," Theo whispered. He took Luna's hand so they could leave. But she didn't move. He turned to look at her. "What's wrong?" he questioned, now worried.
Luna's face looked so sad and her blue eyes had unshed tears. She just pointed at the wall beside the door. His eyes made their way to where she was pointing, and instantly he knew why she was sad. There it was, carved on the wall: Xeno and Flora. The names of Luna's parents.
"Luna," Theodore said softly. He really didn't know what to say.
"They must have been hiding from Filch when they wrote this." Her voice was still dreamy but carried a hint of sadness. A smile slowly appeared on her face.
He nodded. "Guess they were fans of midnight strolls in the forest, too."
Luna's smile widened and all the sadness disappeared. "You're right, Theo. You know, it would be really nice if we wrote our names below it," she suggested with hopeful eyes.
Yes, they were a couple. And yes, they loved each other. But they both belonged in different worlds. He was the son of a Death Eater while she was in the D.A.. And writing their names on a wall, was taking it to the next level. What if they hurt Luna, because of this?
He'd never forgive himself if that happened. But what if this simple act only assured her safety?
With his wand, he quickly made the words appear.
Theo and Luna
