DRACO POV

Meanwhile, Draco had been as bad, or even worse, as Luna. The Dark Lord was residing in his house. He knew it was a huge honor for his aunt Bellatrix, but she was his #1 fan and deranged (the Pureblood inbreeding and Azkaban must have done that).

But for him and his parents, it was horrible. Draco was terrified of the Dark Lord. He was such a powerful wizard with no conscience.

It hadn't helped that he had witnessed the murder of Charity Burbage, a Professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts. He distinctly remember that, halfway through his 3rd year, he had released a Ghoul into her classroom at the middle of the night when she and her assistant were away. Guilt clawed through his insides.

"Draco!" Bellatrix shouted. Oh no! It was time for his Occlumency lesson. He thought that they had finished with them when he had finished his 6th year. But ever since the Dark Lord had humiliated her publicly she had wanted to make sure there would be no other thing that he could humiliate her for ever again.

"Coming" he said unhappily and got his wand out, just in case his aunt would do a surprise attack when he entered.

Once Draco arrived to the room reserved for lessons he was instantly invaded by the mind. A vision of darkness enclosing in on him and blood swirling all over were all he could see.

He calmly pictured nothing but blankness filling up the darkness. Draco opened his eyes to see Bellatrix with a malicious smile upon her face. It didn't quite mean that she wanted to cause harm to him, it was just her normal smile.

"Good work, Draco. Remember always to be ready for the unexpected" Bellatrix said. Suddenly, a mouse came scurrying somewhere.

"Imperio". He watched as his aunt thrust the mouse everywhere, determined to hurt it. "While we are at it use the Cruciatus curse, Draco" Bellatrix commanded.

Draco muttered "Crucio".

Nothing happened. "You need to mean it! Enjoy it's pain, Draco, as the Dark Lord does so- !" Bellatrix's eyes looked watery, as if just mentioning him made her emotional.

"Crucio!" his aunt bellowed.

The rat began to squeal loudly right away. It rolled all over the floor and shuddered and jerked around.

This continued for what seemed like hours, but were probably only minutes. Draco didn't dare to tell her to stop because she had that wild look in her eyes.

Suddenly the spell was removed. A jet of blinding green light appeared and the pest was left limp and lying on the floor, never to move again.

"That is how to do it" Bellatrix purred proudly at herself.

LUNA POV

Yesterday she had just discovered that she was pregnant. Well, that was some news. But now would be something possibly worse. Telling the news to her father.

He was always understanding to her, and she was daddy's little girl usually. Today, and possibly until forever, she would be known as daddy's little-girl-having-a-baby. Not the best title, but you could get the point.

"Dad, I need to tell you something important" Luna asked, as she came in front of him. "What is it, dear?" the reply came.

"I'm pregnant" Luna announced meekly and waited for the outburst. And sure enough, it was huge.

"WHAT???" her father shouted. His face turned immediately red in rage. So did hers, but it was due to embarrassment.

"I.. We were drunk and.." Luna could find no way to explain, because she knew what she did was wrong anyways.

"There is no need to say any more" Mr. Lovegood looked at her disappointingly at her. He walked away.

This wasn't what she had imagined. He didn't ground her or yell at her much. He just..left. It was worst than anything she had experienced from him. Luna had utterly crushed and disappointed him.

Confused and feeling alone, she went to write a letter to Ginny and Hermione.

"I told my dad the news. He didn't yell or anything, he just walked away"

A while later, the response came from her friends. It was Ginny's writing.

"Well, at least he didn't make you get rid of the baby. Wait, you aren't going to, right? Hermione says that its already alive and to kill it would be cruel and then she loaded me up with tons of information that I forgot, because she said this really quickly. She said that she'll get some books for you as well."

Luna was glad of her friend's support. If they could help her, and hopefully her father would too, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Bleh, sorry its a tad boring and took awhile, but I've been shopping last minute for Christmas these past few days so I haven't had much time. Anyways, tommorow is Christmas Eve so YAY! :D
