AN: Word Count: 295. Prompt #2 Owl.
This was my beta's favorite. I like it too. Hope you like it as well. Thank you everyone you has R&R :)
It was the owl that brought that horrid mask.
Luna and he were eating their breakfast at the Ravenclaw table when the owl dropped the black package with the silver bow. There was no note, no evidence of its origin.
But when he opened it, he immediately knew who it was from.
His father's Death Eater mask was inside. Its skeleton features with its snake-like eye slits looked up at the tense face of Theodore and the confused one of Luna.
He quickly closed the box, not wanting to see the haunting memories.
Luna's hand rested on top of his. His gaze met hers. She looked calm as always.
"You shouldn't even be with me," Theodore whispered.
Luna smiled and laid her head on top of his shoulder. "And you shouldn't be eating with Loony at the Ravenclaw table."
"I love you," he said. This was reason enough for him.
"And I love you, even though you have a lot of Wrackspurts in your head right now." Her finger poked his head, making him laugh.
"I guess I need a kiss from you," he teased, remembering the time they had been in the broom closet.
Her light laughter made him smile. Luna gave him a feather light kiss on his lips.
Theodore sighed. "You know, it's not too late for you to leave me."
Her blue eyes focused for a moment; a rare thing. "I'm not going to leave you, Theo. We both know the risks of being together."
A sad smile appeared. "You always say that."
"Do you want me to leave?" She didn't wait for an answer. "Thousands of Death Eater masks could come, they may kidnap me, or even threaten me. But I will never leave you. I love you, Theodore Nott."
AN: I will update tomorrow. Please Review :)
