Born A Weapon

lipstick

17th of January 1996

I had never been so eager to pack my bags before I stood dressed and ready to leave at 10 am narsissa had both me and draco put our bags next to the door so they could be apperated to the station while me and draco went to diagon alley for some new school supplies
As I was walking through the bookshop I saw Luna and her father standing there she quickly checked no one would see and ran to me hugging me tightly her blond hair intertwining with my black hair
It had always been a stark contrast between the two of us
Luna had bright blond hair that reached her middle and big blue eyes she always wore bright colors and she was overall a very cheerful and happy girl
Quite the contrary with me immensely pale skin that almost seemed pearlescent against my pitch black hair that reaches my calves and faded to purple at the ends
Bright red eyes and dark red lipstick
I almost always wear black and I was known for having a snappy yet cheerful personality
The people that knew of my heritage where careful around me and sometimes where frightened by it but luna was different it seemed like she didnt even care about any of that and she had no problem saying my father's name out loud to her he was just another human being who was simply misunderstood in ways no one could fathom
She held me tight and the warmth of her skin made my worried lift immediately
She put one hand on the back of my head as if to sooth my sorrows even more and she kissed my cheek reassuringly
Then she grabbed my hand and pulled me into a dark corner of the bookshop where she pulled me close and pressed her warm soft lips against mine her strawberry lipstick smearing with my dark red one
She felt so warm and so safe like this little corner of the bookshop where just for her and I
Like the world had stopped around us and it was just us two she put her hands on my waist and I wrapped my arms around her neck loosely pulled us closer together
In my opinion luna couldnt be close enough I wanted her with me forever and I was never gonna let go and for these few minutes in that dark corner I was with her and it was amazing
When we finally broke apart she and I giggled lovingly and she pulled me into the light again and we walked through the shop talking about the books we saw
I didnt dare tell her she had dark red lipstick on her lips now and it looked quite good so I left it
She showed me the newest edition of the quibler and i listened to her explain what telly tailers are
Little creature that hid in your ponytail and made it go all frizzy she talked on and on and I listened transported to a different universe in which me and luna would be together unbothered by anyone and where all her creatures lived
A world in which I didnt feel the dreading closeness of my family's presence
A world where everything was perfect
