Oh, my dear... (Mattheo Riddle ff)

how shit went down further...

P.T.

I already saw Luna running down the hill when we landed and got off our brooms. She came towards us so quickly, I really worried she was going to fall over at any step. But she eventually made it down the hill and onto the little sandy path we landed on. 

,,Penny!" she shouted happily, a wide smile lighting up her face. ,,Penny, dear Merlin!" 

Chuckling, I helped Valery off the broom as well and set her safely on the ground. 

,,Luna!" 

Mattheo gently took my broomstick out of my hand so I was free to run the last bit towards Luna.  Catching her in a hug, I wrapped my arms around her tightly. 

,,Thank god, you're alright!" Luna mumbled into my shoulder. 

I took a deep breath, closing my eyes as the familiar scent of her white hair filled my nose. ,,Luna..." I whispered, holding her close. So much weight and burden seemed to be lifted from my shoulders all of a sudden. ,,Merlin, I missed you so much." 

Only after a long moment, we finally pulled back from the hug, and I looked back at Mattheo and Valery over my shoulder. 

My boyfriend was standing behind her, two brooms in one hand, the other on top of my sisters head. Valery was hiding halfway in his jacket, carefully spying at Luna from his side. 

I beckoned her closer with one hand. ,,Come on, Val. Let me introduce you." 

Hesitating, Valery looked up at Mattheo unsurely. He gave her a reassuring nod and gently pushed her towards me and Luna.

Reaching out, I pulled her close by her shoulder, positioning her in front of me. 

,,Valery, this is my best friend Luna. Luna, this is my little sister."

Luna slightly lifted one hand and waved happily. ,,Hello, Valery. You look really magical. Like a forest fairy!" 

Yeah... That's Luna. But I loved her for it. And apparently, it worked for my little sister. 

,,Hello." Valery gave back shyly, but she smiled. ,,Thank you." 

,,You're more than welcome." Luna chuckled, brushing a strand of her bright hair behind her ear. 

,,You... you look like an angel." my little sister said quietly, seemingly not able to take her eyes off Luna. Understandable, really. Luna was indeed the human impersonation of an angel. 

,,Why aren't you adorable!" Luna smiled, holding out a hand for my sister, a few self-made silver rings sparkling on her fingers. 

Valery didn't even look up at me for reassurance, she just took Luna's hand without hesitation. 

,,Come on, little Valery. Let me show you around." 

,,Ah, Luna?" I spoke up quickly. ,,Is your father inside?" 

Luna nodded, already half way to the garden with my sister. ,,You'll find him in the kitchen." And with that, she and Valery happily walked off together, like they'd known each other for years. 

,,This thing about Luna..." Mattheo muttered, coming up behind me to wrap an arm around my waist, his chin resting on my shoulder. 

,,I know." I gave back, looking after them. ,,This thing, that makes you trust and love her the moment you meet her, it's... strange. Fascinating, really. No wonder Draco fell so hard." 

,,Is her father the same?" he asked close to my ear.

,,Not... exactly. But he's really nice, I think. I've only met him quickly a few times, at platform 9 3/4." I answered. ,,We'll see."
