Across The Worlds

chapter 21:" we are cursed"

Luna returned to the house and threw her bag on the ground, it was wet with rain water, she was silent and absent-minded.

Theo was sitting in the living room waiting for her. The hour had passed one after midnight. All the lights in the house were turned off except for a small lamp next to Theo.  Theo stood up and said to her in a stern tone: "Where have you been?"

  She remained silent, didn't answer anything, took off her shoes, didn't pay any attention, and made her way to her room. 

Theo's anger at her behavior, he endured a lot of her incomprehensible behavior, and he never grumbled, now that he had enough, he pulled her from her arm, and he said: "I'm talking to you, Luna. Where were you until that hour in this weather?"

  She said to him, lost in her wandering: "Where's Kelly? Has he come home?"

Theo pulled himself together for a moment to be able to talk to her in the height of his anger. "No, Luna Kelly, he didn't come home tonight. He told me he was staying at his friend's house."

She came back and asked him, "When did he tell you that? Why didn't he call me?"  Theo returned his scattered hair on his face with his hand while he closed his eyes, then tried to control his anger again and started screaming: “He told me that when he came to see me in the hospital because he thought you were there but he didn’t find you because you lied to him that you had work tonight but I told him you left early, do you know what else? He came to take the results of Mariam's analysis from me because the poor girl's body is crumbling. The strength eats her body from the inside and Kelly cares about her and I couldn't tell him the truth. Do you know that your brother is in pain, that girl will die soon if a miracle doesn't happen ,Kelly told me he loves her and he hasn't told her yet But you .....do you care about your brother For months Luna you know nothing about him .You ignore him Do you ever realize what goes through He smiles to make you happy...! Do you remember the last game he played ..?Did you know last Wednesday he played his first ...a year ago, he won it with a clean sheet....!!!".

" Where were you when you only cared for yourself? Where were you, tell me where were you?!"

She shouted at him for the first time in her life and said: "With Harry!"

Theo was silent and stunned by her response. He didn't expect what she would say and said in shock: "Potter? What have you been doing with him? What does he want from you?"

  She calmed down again and said, "I was helping him." 

Theo shouted, waving his hands in the air in anger: "fuck off, Luna, what are you doing? Potter is nothing but a sick psycho. Why are you going to see him?" 

She replied with emotion: "He is my friend, Theo. Don't say that he is ill and has come a long way in treatment."

  Theo looked even more surprised.  She replied, returning to her composure: "He didn't tell me anything. I know everything about him." 

Those words resonated stronger than the storm outside the house. Theo began to comprehend what she was saying and asked her, laughing from the effect of shock: “Do you know the meaning of what you say, or am I the idiot here, so you two have been in contact for a long time, right?! And you hid it from me?!".
 

"Believe me, I just didn't want to upset you about Harry, but believe me, since he found out he was bipolar, he asked for my help, Theo," said Luna, as she approached Theo, trying to calm him down.

Theo shouted at her: "Because he's a dirty person, Luna. He took advantage of Pansy and betrayed Ginny. He didn't believe Hermione or Draco when they called on him."
