In no time at all winter break had come and gone and everyone returned to Hogwarts, even creepy Draco who was still upset about getting the necklace back but had decided that he was going to make Harriet his no matter what. The first thing he had to do though was get rid of Luna. The problem was getting Luna alone though. She and Harriet always seemed to be together whenever they weren't in classes.
One day Draco had a brilliant idea of how to lure out Luna. He would use the Imperius curse on a young Ravenclaw girl and lure Luna out of Ravenclaw tower before anyone else was awake. Then he could catch her by surprise, subdue her and store her in one of cells in an abandoned part of the dungeon. He could comfort Harriet at the abandonment of her girlfriend and then he would have her all to himself. Once Harriet had fallen in love with him he would Obliviate Luna's memories and set her free. He had to plan it out just right to make sure nothing was overlooked. He was sure that this was a fail proof plan.
The night before his plan was to go into action he found the young Ravenclaw girl that he had chosen as his messenger and placed the Imperius curse on her as she was walking down the hallway alone. He then commanded her to wake up Luna Lovegood early the following morning and let her know that Harriet wanted to see her in an abandoned hallway not too far from the tower.
Early the following morning Luna Lovegood was awoken by a young first year girl gently shaking her. "Excuse me…Miss Lovegood…please wake up…it's important. Harriet wants to see you outside." Luna's eyes opened quickly at Harriet's name. Luna sat up in bed and whispered to the young girl, "She wants to see me now? Where is she?" The young girl gave the description to the abandoned hallway outside of Ravenclaw tower. Luna thought that was a strange place to meet considering nobody else was up yet but she figured she didn't want to take the chance of being interrupted by any of the castles patrolling staff or ghosts. Luna dressed quickly and quietly grabbed her things before leaving Ravenclaw tower and heading to the hallway she had been told Harriet was waiting for her. When she got there though the hallway was empty. She wandered towards the end of the hallway when all of a sudden she heard "STUPIFY" and felt a blast of magic hit her before she was knocked unconscious.
Draco watched the blonde girl fall unconscious as he grinned, but he didn't see her wand fall out of her hair and roll next to a suit of armor. "Perfect," he thought, "everything is going to plan." "MOBILICORPSUS" With that the body of Luna Lovegood hovered off the ground, waiting to be directed.
Draco walked the floating body down into the dungeon and into an abandoned section of the dungeon that he had previously scouted. He lowered her to the floor before checking for her wand. "Hmph. She must've forgotten it in her rush this morning. Foolish girl," thought Draco. The only other thing she had in her bag was a few schoolbooks and a notebook with Ravenclaw symbol on it. Nothing that could ruin his plans. With that he shut the door and gave it a "Colloportus" to prevent her from escaping and a Muffliato charm to keep her from being heard if she decided to scream. He left the dimly lit dungeon and headed back upstairs to wait for the day's activities to begin.
Harriet woke early that morning and felt a little bummed that classes were back in session because she was used to spending most of her day with her girlfriend. The winter break had turned out to be one of the greatest times in her life. She pulled out her notebook and wrote a quick note to Luna.
Good morning my darling! I hope that you slept well. This is going to be a hard day because I'm used to spending my days with you but know that while we may be apart my heart goes with you. I love you!
With that she shut notebook, sending the message, and tucked it in to her schoolbag for the day. After that she quickly changed and headed down to the Great Hall hoping to spend a little bit of time with her girlfriend before the day began. As she entered the Great Hall she noticed the lack of a certain dreamy blonde. She walked over to the Ravenclaw table and talked to some of her dorm mates.
"Excuse me. Have any of you seen Luna this morning?"
The 7th year girls shook their head. "She was gone when I woke up," one of them replied.
"Hmmm…ok….thank you," Harriet replied with a touch of concern. She forgot all about breakfast and headed towards Ravenclaw tower passing students who were still rubbing their eyes as they filed to breakfast. Upon reaching the knocker to the Ravenclaw common room, she asked the knocker if it had seen Luna this morning. It replied that she had left early this morning and had yet to return. The knocker did say that she headed away from the Great Hall and it thought that was curious at that hour. Harriet thanked the knocker and headed down the hallway it had said that Luna had gone down. As Harriet walked up and down the hallways she checked classrooms for Luna and repeatedly cast Homenum Revelio. Time after time it came up with nothing though. Everyone was either in the Great Hall or headed there. Harriet pulled out her notebook and checked it but she still had no response from Luna. She was starting to really worry that something had happened to Luna. She sent her patronus to Hermione to ask if Luna had shown up to the Great Hall yet. A few minutes later an ethereal otter came bouncing back and Hermione's voice spoke. "She's not down here. We haven't seen her."
