"The grass is comfier than the cobblestone." Adeline lay down, by the lake.

"It's so warm here." Draco sighed.

The sun caught Adeline's necklace.

"You still have it on..?" Draco held the necklace. "From fifth year."

"Yes.. I never took it off." Adeline smiled. "It's special."

Draco's cheeks flushed red. "I want to stay with you forever. Grow old. Live in a beautiful house."

"A cottage.. In a forest with loads of flowers. Nearby a lake. We could have a cat!" Adeline sighs.

"I'd love that. It's official."

"What about your father? Would he ever let me be with you?"

"I don't care. I'll be with who I love."

Adeline smiled.

"Okay."

"Do you mind if I go to your library? I'd like to find a book.." Adeline asked.

"Of course, do you know where it is?" Draco looked up.

Adeline nodded and made her way to the library.

She could've sworn she heard Luna's voice.

Adeline froze for a minute.

She heard it again.

She placed her book on the shelf, and lay on her side. Her ear pressed against the floor.

She heard Luna clearly.

"Luna?" Adeline spoke.

Adeline heard someone fall over with a quiet scream. "Hello?" Her voice echoed.

"Luna! Why are you here? And- Where are you?"

Luna's voice was muffled. "It's dark here! I can't see much- There are other people. Mr. Ollivander and goblin.. Griphook?"

"Oh my gosh" Adeline cleared her throat. "Do you know where you are?"

"No.. It's got no windows so it's maybe underground?"

"Right.. Luna wait there."

Adeline ran upstairs to Draco's room. "Draco Malfoy!"

"Oh? What's wrong?" Draco was lying on his stomach, flicking through a book.

"Luna! She- She's in-"

"I know! I know! I can't do anything about it." Draco got up.

"But- She- Can't you just let her out?"

"No, I can't. I don't know why she's there.. Something to do with her father."

"Can you at least just try to let her out?"

"I don't want her here! I just- If I even try to let her out.. My father will kill me!!"

"Please can I try?" Adeline fiddled with her fingers.

"No.. My father would hate you!"

"I thought you said you didn't care what your father thought?!" Adeline cried.

"I-I- I don't! Just stop.. You can go find her, see her."

"But she doesn't deserve to be here! She hasn't done anything wrong.."

"I know that!"

"Then why? If you didn't care what your father thought.. Why wouldn't you free her.. My friend?"
