The day was really turning out to be a bad one for Draco. No strike that. He was having a rotten, terrible, never-should-have-left-bed kind of day.

It had started out pleasant enough. He passed his Potions Mastery and Pansy had gotten engaged to some wizard.

Everything had started going pear-shaped when Lovegood had owled him for help. A plea that would have landed on deaf ears if it hadn't been for the copious amounts of ink splatter. Something Lovegood normally wouldn't have allowed. Thus, against his better judgement, he had agreed to meet her at the Clumsy Giant: a quite tavern nestled safely away from prying eyes.

"My dad is missing."

"Have you gone to the Aurors with this?"

"Yes, but they simply refuse to search for them."

He blinked. "Them?"

"The Heliopath Society of course."

"Of course."

"They are a secret society of wizards who have taken a blood oath to protect and keep the existence of Heliopaths hidden."

Oh endless joy. A conspiracy theory.

"I think they have taken my father and might try to abduct me as well."

"Why?" he held up his hand stopping her. "Foolish question. You and your dad were investigating Heliopaths."

"We found one actually."

Ah, hence the kidnapping of dear old daddy.

Again he had gone against his better judgement and had agreed to help ferret out the abductors, rescue her father and maybe help prove the existence of Heliopaths.

After calling in several favors and making a few minor threats, he was able to locate Luna's father's whereabouts: an old muggle warehouse off the Thames. Thankfully Luna wasn't a Gryffindor and she agreed that the Aurors should be called in. Sadly right after Luna had sent off her patronus they were hexed from behind.

Now, he was slowly coming to on an old pile of crates. His whole body bond to the old wood. Brilliant. Just bloody brilliant.

"Draco?"

At least Luna was safe. Wait, why did he care if Luna was safe or not? His safety should be paramount not Luna's. Maybe his crush on the eccentric blonde hadn't faded into oblivion after all.

"We need to talk."

"Don't say that. When women say that, everything goes black, and I wake up surrounded by body parts."

"I didn't know you watched True Blood."

He chuckled. "My mother does. What is it Lovegood?"

But before she could answer Tonks stumbled upon them.

"Wotcher Luna. I thought you were going to let us handle this?"

"That was the plan," Draco drawled annoyed.

Tonks grinned. "Cousin," she greeted before removing their magical ties.

"What about my father? Is he okay?"

"Your father is safe and we got the wizards responsible for taking him."

"Dora! You won't believe this." Lupin called as he joined his partner. He greeted his former pupils with a small nod. "We found two Heliopaths with a young foal."
