Chapter 29

She stood on the balcony in their room. The balcony is much smaller than the balcony of their room at Malfoy Manor, but with a more beautiful view, but not as beautiful as she saw the view from the Ravenclaw common room, but that was enough for her. From here she can see the Quidditch pitch and the Forbidden Forest; she can also see the sunset.

She suddenly shivered, winter is coming soon and the weather is getting colder every day.

After her meeting with Ginny, she felt a little more relieved, her shoulders a little lighter. She was relieved that she didn't lose all her friends, at least there is some who believe her though most of them hate her, but that's ok for her. She never forces people to believe her, so she's fine if they don't do now.

"Waiting for me,"

A very familiar voice suddenly caught by her ears. She didn't hear his footsteps; maybe it was because she was too busy with her thoughts.

She turned and smiled at Draco, he still wearing his Quidditch uniform. His hair was a bit messy; she could smell the masculine scent from him.

"Hello," she said, didn't move from her spot.

He walked towards her. "I'm hoping a bit you'll show up during practice, but unfortunately you never showed up. Where did you go?" He asked before giving her a warm kiss on her forehead.

"I'm not going anywhere, the outside has started to cool, and you know I have no interest in Quidditch," she replied as she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest.

"I know, but at least you can show up just to give me support," he said, wrapping his arms around her and bringing her body closer.

"I'll be in the stands tomorrow then," she said, hugging him tightly.

Draco has been very kind to her; he also treats her well. Just thinking what she said to Ginny, made her feel guilty. She didn't feel guilty when the words came out of her mouth, she didn't even think about Draco while talking to Ginny, he didn't matter to her then; all she wanted was someone to trust her so that the person could save DA members. But when she sees Draco smiling at her and how tender he is to her, the guilt slaps her right on the face.

Now she's torn between her friends or Draco. She loves her friends, but there's no doubt that she loves Draco as well. All these months with him, she knows he's not as bad as people think. He's just tied to a demon.

"What is it, Luna?" Draco asked. He could sense that something was disturbing her; she was much quieter than usual. Indeed, since they returned to Hogwarts many things that disturbed her. Starting from being insulted by her friends and insulted for marrying him, but usually those things don't bother her much, usually she will forget it and become more cheerful. But now it's different. It not only disturbs her, but also makes her sad. Even just looking at her expression, he can tell it easily.

"Nothing," she replied. "Just feeling tired," she lied and made her feel worse.

Once you lie, you will lie continuously to cover up the other lies.

"I know something is wrong, tell me, Luna," he pulled away and looked at her.

"I have nothing wrong, I miss my father," she said, not completely lying. "It was difficult to be away from him and never saw him for a long time."

Her eyes were full of sadness now, and Draco doesn't know what to do. He can't comfort her if it's about her father, but he also doesn't want to see her like this. "What should I do to make you feel happy?" He asked softly.

Luna smiled. "That question has made me happy," she said.

"It's so easy to make you happy," he teased and wrapped his arms around her again. "Did you have a shower?" He whispered.

"No," she replied simply.

"Want to take a shower together?" He offers with a smirk on his handsome face.

She giggled. "Sure," she replied as he led her into the bathroom.

He has thought of the fun things they can do while showering.


Weeks have passed. Luna still hasn't found the right time to meet Ginny again; Draco begins to follow her wherever she goes. He also always takes her to the Quidditch pitch just to watch him practice. But she knows that Draco has absolutely no idea that she and Ginny have spoken, he's just simply worried about her.

And apparently some DA members trust her warning. Some of them no longer looked at her with hatred and disgust, but their gaze softened, but she never dared to look back at them, she was afraid that Draco would notice that.

One day, he overhears Blaise and Theodore's conversation; she must hear their conversation whether she wants to or not since she sat at the Slytherin table for lunch. Draco sits next to her and Theodore and Blaise sit across her. During their conversation, she pretends to ignore but in fact she listens well to what they say.

"They look more cautious these days," Theodore muttered under his breath as he looked toward the Gryffindor table. "They probably know our plans."

"Don't be a dummy Nott, they certainly had no idea about the plan," Blaise replied coolly.

"Don't you see them? They always stick together like a bunch of cows, not mentioning their wands are always on hand. They also skip the Carrow's classes and every time they search for them, they nowhere to be seen, they disappear," Theodore explains irritably.

"You make it complicated. That is exactly what they will do when the Death Eaters have taken over Hogwarts, that's natural," Blaise said.

"That's not natural. A few weeks back they didn't behave like that, it just happened lately," Theodore said.

"Shut up you two, I try to eat calmly," Draco yelled in annoyed. "Just ignore them, we haven't got orders from the Dark Lord to catch them, so be quiet," he whispered harshly now.

"I'm just trying to learn their behavior," Theodore said, rolling his eyes.

Blaise snorted at him.

After their conversation ended, Luna was relieved that DA was starting to fight back, that's supposed to be what they did. Silently, she glanced at the Gryffindor table and inadvertently stared directly at Ginny's eyes. She smiled slightly and nodded at her. She dropped her gaze trying with all her might not to smile back.


She tightened her scarves as the wind blew pretty hard. From where her sitting down, she could see Draco's platinum blonde hair, he was seen yelling at Goyle. She sighed heavily. She doesn't like Quidditch, but she always enjoys watching Quidditch games, it's always festive for her. But now it's different, the stands not as full as usual. The Slytherin cheering happily, supporting their team, while the Hufflepuff, they cheering as well, but unusually, it sounds weird as they are afraid of something.

She felt her bladder full and she couldn't hold it anymore. She gets up and plans to go to the toilet, but a hand grabs her wrist. She turned around.

"Yes?" She asked politely to Daphne. Draco had ordered her to accompany her during the game, and so far she's done a good job. She is also quite fun to talk to.

"Where are you going? The game is not over yet," Daphne said (shouting).

"I'm going to the toilet, you don't have to come with me," she replied, trying to raise her tone for her to hear.

"But Draco-"

She cut her off. "I won't be long," she tells her and leaves before she continues the conversation and forces her to come with her.

When she's done with her business, she walks down the corridor to the Quidditch pitch. But she stopped when someone called her; she barely heard it, especially with the sound of the audience from the pitch. She turned around and found no one, so she continued her journey. She stopped again as the voice called her louder this time. She turned again and found a red-haired girl peering through the door.

"Ginny?" She narrowed her eyes.

Ginny makes a hand gesture to get her closer, so she approaches.

"No one around," she told her.

"Just in case," Ginny whispered. "Come on," she pulled her into a room she knew was a class that was rarely used. When she's inside, she finds the DA members, except those from Hufflepuff because they're in the Quidditch field right now.

"Luna." It was Neville, he smiled broadly at her.

"Hello, Neville," she greeted.

"I don't understand why we should trust her, she married to Malfoy and automatically made her as bad as Malfoy," Lavender Brown said in annoyance as she folded her arms, she looked at her in disgust.

"She is certainly bad because she is a Malfoy now," Pervati Patil said sarcastically.

Luna is silent and has no intention of defending herself, although what they say is not all true.

"Oh, shut up!" Ginny snapped. "I trust Luna more than you two. Where did you go when Harry needs friends when all away from him just because he declares You-Know-Who has returned? Do you even help him to the Ministry? No! You are not there to help him, but Luna; she always stands beside Harry no matter what happens. Even now she's holding pain for Harry, where I bet you cannot do it. So if anyone doesn't like Luna being here, please go, I won't hold you back. "

Silence filled the room; they stared in the other direction, refusing to stare at Ginny or Luna.

"Well?" Ginny challenged.

"I stay," Lavender said softly, and followed by the others.

"Good," Ginny muttered. "So we will fight against the Carrow's."

"What?" Luna said in surprise.

"I mean we'll fight back, and our target is the Carrow's, Amycus Carrow," Ginny said. "We have been thinking this well, Luna, we will fight. I brought you here so you don't miss a moment. "

"What's the plan?" Luna asked.

"We're going to destroy Amycus Carrow's office," Neville replied, "with firecrackers," he said.

Luna's eyes widened.

"Here, it's not dangerous but the sound is loud enough," Seamus handed Firecrackers to Ginny, and he grinned.

"That's quite big, it will distract people from the game," Luna said.

"That's our goal, come on," Seamus said.

So they walked along the corridor to Amycus Carrow's office. It's not hard to open the door. It's funny how a Death Eater uses a light spell to lock the door of his office.

Ginny puts the firecrackers on the table. "Match?"

"Using a wand will be easier," says Neville.

"Using matches will be safer, just in case if after this they will check our wands one by one," said Ginny. "Seamus do you have matches?"

"Yes, I have one, wait, ahh here it is," he handed a match to Ginny.

"It'll be dangerous, we'll get hurt," Luna said worriedly.

"No, we'll use the Protecting spell around us," Seamus replied.

And that's right after Ginny lit the firecracker's axis, Neville and Michel Corner, casting Protection spell around them. It didn't take long to hear the sound of the explosion. But the explosive sound was louder than Luna thought, she was shocked and her ears were ringing. The whole room was destroyed, as there had been a war. The parchments were scattered, ink spilled on the floor, tables, chairs, windows smashed, and smoke filled the room. It's really messy.

"It's more fantastic than I thought," Seamus murmured.

"That's insane," Ginny muttered, but she sounded satisfied and proud.

Then, they were all surprised by the sound of footsteps, it sounded closer. They become panic, not expecting that the explosion will distract people more quickly than they thought.

"Go away," Luna told them. "They're headed here."

"How about you?" Neville asked, apparently not willing to leave Luna.

"I'll be fine," she replied. "Hurry up, before they catch you."

"Come on, Neville, just leave her," Lavender grabbed Neville's arm roughly, while the other except Ginny had run away.

"I will send a Patronus when the time is right." That was the last thing Ginny said before she ran away with the others. Luna followed her to the doorway and watched Ginny's back further away from her gaze and disappears. She turned her gaze on Amycus Carrow's office, she stared in awe.

"What's going on?" Professor Snape's voice distracts her. She turned her eyes on him, she not only found Professor Snape, but the Carrow's, Flich, and some curious students, Draco there too, he looked a mess too.

"Luna, what happened?" Draco asked, approaching her.

"I don't know, I was in the toilet and I heard the explosion, and I decided to find out, and ..." she paused and looked back at the room; she shrugged lightly, "â€ĶI found this."

"Who did this?" Amycus asked, he sounded very angry. "Who did this?" He asked once more, but this time to her. His voice sounded rough.

"You better not talk like that to her," Draco warned roughly.

"That's fine, Draco," Luna said, grabbing his arm.

"Well, Mrs. Malfoy, you're here first, you might know who did this," Professor Snape asked in a monotone voice.

"I'm sorry, Professor, but I don't know, when I was here I didn't find anyone," Luna said. She is not good at lying, but in recent months, she started learning how to pretend or lie.

"It must be those stupid Gryffindors, they weren't in the Gryffindor stands during the game," Alecto Carrow's spat in disgust.

"Those bastrads," Amycus cursed.

"Find them," said Snape coldly.

Luna swallowed nervously. She wished they had gone into hiding. She grabbed Draco's arm tighter.

"Back to your dorm," said Snape, "and if I know you're hiding them, you know what punishment you'll get."

The students nodded with fear before running back to their dorm.

"Do you know who did that?" Draco asked after they reached their common room.

"No," she shook her head.

Draco looked at her for a moment. He knows when Luna lies, he has been living with her for a few months and it's been a long time to get to know her. Luna is always open about herself to him, so he can find out easily whether she is lying or not. "Your friends did this, right?"

"Possibly, but I don't know," Luna said, refusing to make eye contact with him.

"Look at me, Luna," Draco grabs her chin and forces her to see him right in the eye; he's surprised when her eyes turn hard and full of firmness. "Did they do it?"

"I don't know, Draco," she replied casually, though she panicked inside.

"You know they will put you in danger," Draco said.

"Let it go, Draco, I will not say anything about them," Luna said dryly as she let go of his hand from her chin.

Draco sighed heavily. He will not push her if she doesn't want to; he already knows who did it. "All right," he said as he ran his hand through his platinum blond hair. "Did you enjoy the game?" He changed the subject.

"That's quite interesting," Luna replied, relieved he drop the subject.

"Quite interesting? I look bloody cool, all the girls cheering for me, you should be proud and lucky to have me as a husband," he said as he grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him, she gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Draco," Luna whined, placing her hands on his chest. "You're still in your Quidditch uniform."

"I know, I look sexy in Quidditch uniform," he says, sounds too proud.

"You're sweating," Luna says still trying to push him.

"Let's get a shower then," he whispered and carried her into the bathroom while kissing her neck and caused her to laugh because it tickled.


A/N II – I just realized that they always end up showering together, but if I was Luna, I wouldn't mind.
