Luna POV
Luna Lovegood was sitting on the ground of a courtyard, leafing through the pages of her father's newest Quibbler edition. The -week pregnant girl leaned on a short tree. As Luna read, she caught glimpses of titles such as "Harry Potter As Minister of Magic!", "What To Do When Your House Is Invaded With Suibbliyendors", and "Severus Snape- Man or Dementor?".
As she was flipping through, Alecto Carrow walked towards her. No, 'walked' was not the word for the way in which Alecto Carrow preferred to carry herself. It was more like 'strutted, acting like she was the boss of everything'. Anyways, the professor of Muggle Studies approached Luna.
"The Quibbler isn't allowed here, stupid girl!" Carrow roared as she ripped the magazine away from her. Luna remained undazed and didn't do anything.
"Are yeh going to do anything 'bout that? ARE YOU?" the professor teased-screamed. Still the blonde-haired girl didn't respond or show any signs of listening to her.
Suddenly, Alecto Carrow looked as if she had been hit by a charm, and dropped the magazine quickly. The stocky little woman looked as if lost, then wandered away with a confused look on her face. Yes, it was most likely the effect of the Confundus Charm.
"So you finally reveal yourself! Aren't you a bit uncomfortable crouching down in that tree?" Luna Lovegood said, peering into the tree, after recovering The Quibbler from the ground.
There seemed to be no reply.
"Alright, show yourself. I know you're there." Luna Lovegood seemed a bit agitated.
Luna waited awhile. "Are you going to let me just sit here yelling like a lunatic?". This time it was screamed with the utmost anger.
Again, the blonde-haired girl waited in silence. Meanwhile, students that were walking amongst the courtyard looked both alarmed and surprised by the sudden outburst. But when they looked back to see Luna yelling at a tree, her schoolmates just shook their heads sadly, thinking that poor Luna had finally, truly, cracked.
"Yeah, poor crazy Luna. They'll see me unfit as a mother, for sure" she sobbed. Now, tears were pouring out of her eyes like water from the waterfalls. She covered her tear-stricken eyes with her hands.
Finally, there seemed to be a response from the tree. A boy of extremely pale skin and Malfoy qualities jumped out of one of the branches. Draco Malfoy awkwardly walked towards Luna Lovegood. And she immediantly remembered what had happened just a few days ago.
FLASHBACK
Luna Lovegood sits in her desk, doodling on a piece of parchment. She is suddenly grasped by the arm and thrust outside into the hallway. Once the blurry quickness of the situation dissolves, she suddenly notices who took her out of the classroom so rudely. It is the father of her child, looking as if all of the blood has been sucked out of his body; his skin is pale... so much more whiter than what was even possible. He looks absolutely terrified. And he is staring at her bulging belly as if finally noticing it.
"Are you really...? Is it mine?" Draco utters. She nods. He faints.
End of Flashback
Yes, they hadn't really interacted much since then. In fact, he seemed to be avoiding her as much as he could. Until now.
Malfoy placed a hand on her shoulder tentatively. He muttered "It'll be okay" uncomfortably. She looked up at him with a sad facial expression.
"Don't you get it? It'll never be okay" Luna Lovegood said (displaying her unusual knack of stating the obvious truth), brushed away the tears, and smacked his hand off. The blonde-haired girl got up and started to walk away. He stopped her.
"What do you want?" She whispered in her normal distant-sounding and serene voice. He didn't reply. None of them knew how, or why, it happened but they soon began to talk.
And, even though they were supposed to be pure enemies, the pregnancy didn't seem to be as hopeless as it had first seemed like.
Maybe it would work out.
"Lorcan? You want to name him LORCAN? Are you crazy?," Draco Malfoy's furious whisper started a long and heated fight.
Or perhaps, maybe it wouldn't be that perfect after all.
Its a short filler chapter and took way too long.. but at least its here....? Ugh, sorry it took awhile.
