In the Light of the Moon
.. . A collection of drabbles and one-shots about Draco Malfoy and Luna Lovegood . . .
Not Necessarily in Chronological Order
Early 1997, circa Half-Blood Prince
Luna flinched as a copper basin clanged against the stone floor. She peered through the filthy strands of her once-blonde hair. Malfoy hovered nearby.
"For you," he gestured, turning away as she reached for the soap to wash her skin and hair. When she finished, he leaned over and wrapped a blanket around her. His eyes were bloodshot.
"I—didn't know—how it would be."
"Then join us, Draco."
"I can't." His hand shook as he pulled a key from his pocket and reached for the shackles around her ankles.
"There," he whispered, backing away. "Now I'm the only one in chains."

AUTHOR'S NOTES: This drabble is part of my Snapshots: Vivid Portraits in 100 Words or Less collection, but as it is one of my favorite head!canon "Draco/Luna" moments so far, I have decided to carry it over into this story as well. Previous readers, please disregard. New Draco/Luna fans, I hope you enjoy.
And as always, your reviews—and especially constructive criticism—are warmly welcomed.
