"Justine was the girl?!" Harry was shocked.

"Yup. I still don't know why she came to talk to me."

"So this is why Daisy is so upset. Did she ever call anybody?"

"Yeah. They did this rape kit on me, but you're not supposed to shower because it can wash away the evidence. And I showered, and I made the same mistake again. That's how they get you, you want to wash yourself because you feel dirty, but you also wash away the evidence."

"Is there any way we can prove this?"

"Yeah, but the chances are slim. You go on there and you tell everybody what had happened to you, but then nothing happens. You put yourself out there and get nothing in return. It's so hard to prove."

"Fuck." Harry sighed."Do you...do you want to tell somebody?"

"I don't know. I think I still need time to...to process."

"I don't want to pressure you, but if you do it sooner, you have a bigger chance of winning the case. Just think about it." Harry told her. She nodded her head at him.

"Did Justine say anything?"

"Um...she knew that you uh..."

"Did Daisy tell her."

"No...she um...she just assumed."

"Oh."

"Are you still going to the wedding on the 6th?" He tried getting her mind off of her incident and on something a little more pleasant.

"I think so. Do you wanna come with me?"

"Hmm...I don't know. I think I'm kind of busy that day." He smirked at her.

"And what might you be busy doing." She smirked back at Harry. He smiled knowing that he was helping her get her mind to a different place.

"I need to wax my sheep, fly to Antarctica. Breed some treefrogs. You know, just everyday errands."

"What makes you think I don't have to do that too?" She was still smiling at him. "I think our sheep, Antarctica and those tree frogs will be fine don't you think."

"You've got a point." He laughed.

"Okay then I'm going, and I'm going to make you come with me."

The days had flown by fast and it was finally November 6th. Luna didn't really want to celebrate her birthday, another year of life, so this wedding was a good distraction for her.

"C'mon Harry, we have to go soon."

"I know." he was struggling with his tie. "I still want to take you out for your birthday, so later tonight, I am going to take you." He persisted.

"Fine." Luna huffed.

The day after her assault, Luna had decided that she would try to get help. They went down to the station and reported it. Being that it was the day after the incident had occurred, there was more evidence then there would be if she went days later.

The had to take pictures of her body and run a numerous amount of tests on her. Being that she had showered a couple of times since the incident, they couldn't detect Zach inside of her, but they took note of the bruises.

It wasn't easy for Luna to go in, but she knew it was something had had to be done. She lost this case once, and she didn't want to lose it again. Harry and Daisy wanted justice for Luna. After this, it was like Luna was going to be okay for a while.
