A/N: I do not own any of these fandoms, I just play with the characters.

BELLA

"How long do you think he is going to sit on that branch?" Luna asks.

"He has been there for hours already, so I am going to say however long it takes for him to see Sarah," Draco replies with no sarcasm at all. I am so proud.

"He has to know she is not here. He is the Goblin King after all," Luna continues.

"Not really. We had to mask her in order for her to stay under the radar per her request. I just wonder how fast Edward will hit the ceiling when he finds out," I comment.

"I think you mean if Edward finds out," Luna corrects me.

"Yeah, because Jareth is known for his subtlety," I roll my eyes.

"That is a valid point," Luna concedes.

"Think we should do something?" Draco says after we all stare at the white owl for a while.

"I'm not really sure we can do anything. He is the king of the goblins, after all. Fae magic is not really compatible with ours," I sigh.

"So, let's get on with our day then," Luna demands. She does not demand anything very often, so Draco and I are a little surprised about her tone this time.

"What did you want to do?" I look at her.

"Keep in mind that I do not want to do anything that may end up in your father's paper," Draco added.

"I think we should play Scrabble," Luna announces.

"All day long?" disbelief is written all over Draco's face.

"Yes, all day long," Luna assures him.

"Okay," I answer for both of us.

Luna spent the game coming up with as many words to say leave as possible. I think she is trying to make Jareth take the hint. Draco started a game under the table with me. I won when he completely forgot it was his turn because my hand rested on his thigh. In my defense, his hand was playing with my hair and he knows how much I like that. The game did not even take all day. Just after the first round finished Luna felt called to gaze into her crystal ball. About an hour after that, she started making tea…a lot of tea. By that time, Draco and I had moved to the couch. We were each reading as much as we could about the various members of the ministries. We have a huge pile of scrolls, books, files, and various other loose papers that we need to get through. We know something is not right and we are determined to find out what it is.

Luna started offering tea. Both Draco and I thanked her and took a cup. That was our second mistake. The first mistake was not noticing that she apparently was making all the tea in North America. Once one cup was empty, she would latch onto it and give us another filled one. By the third cup for each of us, Draco and I realized that she intended for the three of us to drink the unholy amount of tea.

"Uh, Luna, I don't think I can drink anymore," I say when she hands me cup number five.

"Me either," Draco wraps his arms around. Who does he think he is fooling? I know he did that so that he did not have a free hand for his next cup.

"Then empty your bladders, because there is a lot more to drink," Luna's usual airiness has turned to determination. Who knew tea would be the thing that would make her sound that determined?

"Are you planning on reading all of these tea leaves?" I cannot hide my incredulity.

"How else are we going to find out what is going on?" she looks at me like I'm the crazy one in this situation.

The doorbell saves Draco and I from having to drink more at this moment. Before any of us can hop up, the twins burst through the door. They are jostling each other and generally making a racket.

"What are you two idiots doing?" Draco demands as they come into the living room.

"Just making sure you both knew that we were here," Fred responds.

"Yeah, don't want to see anything nightmare inducing like a naked Slytherin," George adds while they both make faces.

"You are too much," I laugh. Draco just scowls before pulling me close.

"There's an idea," he growls as he wraps his arms around me. He leans in with a wicked smile. Giggling, I close the distance for a searing kiss.

"Oh, come on, can't you guys separate long enough to say hello?" a new voice interrupts.

"Hello, Harry," Draco says without looking away from me.

"Hey. How goes life?" I turn to look at my friend.

"Well, since you asked, wedding planning is kind of insane," Harry grins at our antics while the twins continue to pretend heave on the floor.

"I had heard that congratulations may be in order. So, it's official then?" I ask, leaning back against Draco.

"Tea," Luna dances around giving everyone a cup.

"Thanks," we all chime, some more genuine than others.

"Aren't you a little young for the whole marriage thing?" George tries to force himself between Draco and me on the couch.

"Yeah, I think you should wait. Jenny's amazing and all, but what's the hurry?" Fred adds his two cents.

"You guys are just saying that because your mom is now harping on you two about settling down," Harry shakes his head at his soon to be brother in laws.

"I suppose you have not been told why we are checking up on you," I start the heavy conversation while sipping as little tea as I can without Luna catching wise. I notice that Draco is doing the same.

"Well, I tried to get some information out of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum over there, but all they would talk about was how sickening you two are and a few of their new products," Harry rolls his eyes. I knew they wouldn't risk anything in the open that way.

"Actually, that is good. We are dealing with a delicate situation. It would seem that the Volturi…" I start to explain.

"I'm sorry, who?" Harry interrupts.

"The ruling body of the vampire population, they have interesting methods to say the least. Anyway, they have been kidnapping witches and wizards and turning them into vampires. Magic transfers to the vampire state. However, those that have been turned are not aligned with the Volturi at all," I try to be brief to bring him up to speed.

"Why would they change witches and wizards to begin with?" Harry looks so confused.

"The Volturi like to collect vampires with special traits for their Elite Guard. It helps keep them in power," Draco provides.

"You know I always like to help, but why would you need me? You guys are more than capable of handling issues like this," Harry asks the one question I had hoped that he would not.

"I was abducted by the Volturi. They knew little about magic and even less about witches and wizards. When they were having a meal, a group of the changed visited me. I am fairly certain they were Death Eaters," I watch his reaction carefully.

"Oh," was all he could say.
