College got to me and I couldn't write much at all :( but I got to it now! Thank goodness I did :D and hopefully you who have read my story before are still looking for an update. If you have been, here it is :)
Blaise slowly opened his eyes to see Luna's face a few centimeters from his. He wanted to laugh, but he held back so he didn't wake Luna up. She looked quite happy. He lifted his arm off her so she wouldn't react badly when he woke up. He conjured two blankets, put one on Luna, and one on himself. He settled in to wait for his friend to wake up.
Luna opened her eyes and looked at Blaise for a moment.
"Where did your arm go?" she asked quietly with a bit of sleepiness dripping from her voice.
Blaise laughed softly. "Why, you want it back?" he asked as he placed his arm behind his back.
"Yeeees. You're waaaarm. Now give it back." she whined.
Blaise laughed again. 'She's really different when she's tired.' he thought to himself. Luna scooted closer to him and ripped his blanket away from him. At this, Blaise's laughter boomed throughout the common room as Luna inch-wormed her way closer to the fire. Blaise cast a warming charm on her and she fell back asleep. Blaise sat up and kept vigil over his Luna while she slept. His Luna.
A few days later, Luna and Blaise decided to go back outside to their ice house. They walked slowly through the falling snow towards the spot they had built their creation. Blaise looked at it for a second and laughed loudly. He turned to Luna.
"Luna guess what?!" Blaise said happily.
"Even in the spring, this snow house will still be here. Won't that be lovely?" Luna said knowingly as she looked up at Blaise with a small smile. Blaise smiled back and took her hand.
"And all through the summer." Blaise sighed.
"And next school year." Luna spoke quietly.
They stopped when they reached the ice house and stood to look at it and its surroundings. It looked like a picture out of a fairy tale book that one would read as a child. They smiled at each other as they walked to the ice house with any negative thoughts inside the castle.
Luna and Blaise were warming up inside by the fire from the cold morning they had spent outside playing in the snow like two little kids. Though the two students looked quite relaxed, their topic of conversation was heavy and serious.
"It was terrifying. Seeing someone thrown around like that." Luna said quietly as she stared into the fire. Blaise looked at her and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"All I can say is that I'm happy that thing didn't get to you." he whispered to Luna as he kissed her cheek. The warm glow of the fire covered up both Blaise's and Luna's newly red-turned faces as they both sat in silence as Blaise kept his arm around her waist. Luna rested her head on his shoulder.
"Blaise?" she said softly.
"Yes Luna?" he said whispered.
He waited for her to say something but she didn't. He looked down at her face and saw that her eyes were closed. Blaise tried not to laugh. Only his Luna would fall asleep in the middle of a conversation. He summoned a blanket and some pillows and set them up to sleep by the fire again.
Luna skipped down the path to visit Hagrid to speak to him about Blaise's present and the things she needed for it. She knocked on the door and waited for him to open it. When he did, his face softened and he smiled brightly
"Hello Luna! What brings you all th'way down 'ere? Would you wan' some tea? It's almost done." he happily ushered Luna inside.
"Oh yes Hagrid. Tea would be lovely." she said with an airy voice. "Actually, I came to ask you if you had something I need for a Christmas present for a dear friend of mine."
Hagrid smiled and stood up. "Well Luna, you jus' say what you need an' we'll see if I got it."
Blaise ran up to the owlry as fast as he could. He wanted to check early to see if his mother had written back with Luna's present. She had! There were two owls guarding a package and a pale blue envelope. He swiftly walked to it, retrieved it, and ran back to his room. He quickly opened the package and looked carefully at what was inside. All looked well. He then opened the letter and braced himself.
Dear Blaise.
Goodness this young girl must be important to you, as I can clearly tell by your letter. The way you describe her makes it seem that she might be a Ravenclaw student, which indeed, I am quite alright with. Your father and I would love to know her name and maybe even meet her over the summer if both you and she are alright with that. I hope she enjoys her present and if not, I have sent you a substitution gift. You seem different by the way. More lively.
Good luck in school and tell me more about your mystery light-haired girl.
Your mother.
P.s. Hi Blaise! Guess what?! I lost a tooth AND cut my knee in one whole hour! Oh! And I went swimming all by myself! I was scared but no one knows but you. So don't tell anyone! Bye!
Love love love love Carmel
Blaise laughed out loud at his 6 year old little sisters part of the letter. He placed the letter on his bed side table. He was thinking about how lucky he was that his mother was in Ravenclaw when she went to Hogwarts. And even though his family was made of purebloods, his parents always tried their hardest to teach their children to be understanding and accepting. He placed Luna's present down gently on his desk and lay down to sleep.
Blaise loved food, and Christmas Eve dinner was probably one of his favorite meals of the year. He had never stayed at Hogwarts over the Christmas break so he assumed it would be a bit like the opening feast. He was wrong. It was better! He and Luna met at the entrance to the Great Hall. They walked in and Blaise stopped suddenly and looked around. Not very many people stayed over break this year so all the students and teachers sat at one long table in the middle of the large room. Blaise couldn't help but laugh as he saw Professor Dumbledore clad in red and green robes with a purple paper crown on his head shoot a confetti bomb at professor McGonagall's face. Luna smiled at the entire scene and lightly dragged Blaise over to some empty seats and they both sat down. A Gryffindor threw them a popper to pop together. As they did, little red heart shaped sparkles erupted from it as two love birds flew off into a corner of the Great Hall and cuddled together. Luna and Blaise both blushed profusely and looked away from each other. They both thought no one had seen this event, but one silver haired professor with a knowing twinkle in his eyes saw the whole thing.
Luna woke up slowly. She suddenly jumped up quickly and ran to get ready. It was Christmas and she needed to go to the room of requirements as soon as possible to meet Blaise. She grabbed Blaise's present, levitated her own presents to follow her to the room and set off as fast as she could. She walked into the room and saw Blaise already there. The walls were mirrors while the entire room was filled with neutral colored pillows, chairs, couches, and a huge crackling fire right in the middle of the room. Luna smiled, left her presents on the ground, walked over to Blaise, and sat down. Blaise smiled at her and gave her a huge hug.
"So my lovely Luna, we open everyone's presents first, then each other's?" Blaise said into her hair.
"That sounds lovely Blaise." Luna said as she smiled.
They both stood up and opened the presents that that were soon forgot about as Luna and Blaise turned to each other. Luna shyly handed Blaise a small wrapped up bundle of tissue paper. He unwrapped it quickly and looked happily at it. It was a charmed necklace. The charm was quite interesting, to say the least. It had a white square button, a small, bright yellow feather, a dried daisy preserved so as not to get destroyed over time, an ivy leaf preserved in the same way, and copper wire rolled into a round bead. All of these were strung on a throng of light brown leather. Blaise slipped it around his neck and the button changed to a light pink color.
"The button color changes with your mood." Luna said happily as she smiled up at him.
Blaise laughed. "Thank you Luna. It's awesome. Now...your turn!" he said loudly as he reached behind him and stood up. "Stand up Luna." he whispered to her. She stood up and suddenly the room lit up and changed from warm and cozy browns to whites. Blaise handed Luna a cloth wrapped present and he held a green bulb type thing in his hand. He smiled and suddenly dropped it. Right as it hit the floor, it exploded in a red burst of powder and sparkles. It was a beautiful bright pink flower. Blaise stooped down and picked it up and fashioned the flower into Luna's hair. Her eyes shown as a huge smile spread across her face. She carefully took away the cloth and reviled a puffapod plant with four pods on it. Luna gently placed the plant down on a table and threw her arms around Blaise and whispered thank you a dozen times. Blaise laughed and hugged her back.
Later that night, Luna and Blaise were walking around the castle together, completely avoiding mistletoe due to all the nargles of course. They were enjoying the quiet that you usually don't get at the castle unless you snuck out after hours. Luna still had the puffapod flower in her hair, which she had preserved like she did the dried daisy and ivy leaf on Blaise's necklace. They heard running footsteps behind them and they both turned around to see professor McGonagall running towards them.
"Both of you! Go to the nearest common room and stay there until further notice!" she screeched as she ran past them. Blaise and Luna looked at each other and both hurried to the Gryffindor common room. The fat lady let them in immediately and shut as quickly as she could. They both looked around and saw a few students huddled together. Luna walked over to them quietly.
"What happened?" she asked with a confused voice.
"You know Malfoy? Well the same thing happened to this kid a few minutes ago. He got attacked."
So tell me...is the jumping between POVs ok? Or should it be different? Cause it's just how I picture how things should go before the two met, and now that they have, it still seems to fit in some situations but should I still continue with it?
