"Where is my daughter? Where is she?"

Maya stopped yelling for a moment to take in the scene before her. Bella was sitting next to a supposedly dead man, her arms wrapped around his waist. Luna was sitting on the other side of Draco. Someone had transfigured three chairs into a couch. Blaise was sitting next to Draco's legs and he was staring blankly at the ground. Dumbledore sat behind his desk, looking grim.

"Your daughter caused nearly irreversible damage to Severus Snape, threw a sword into a fifth year, and has caused severe damage to Hogwarts. She's also a suspect in the murders of six Hogwarts students. She is currently being held at the Ministry. They're going to attempt to question her at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement," Dumbledore said, softly. Maya's eyes widened and she spun to look at Bella, as if expecting an explanation. Maya's eyes then fell on a man that had been previously dead. Her mouth fell open.

"You're…you're dead. I saw your body!" Maya breathed in shock. Draco offered a cocky smirk.

"Really, Ms. Granger. Magic does wonders."

"But…but…but only a Necromancer can bring things back to life. And then not really. They only animate bodies. And that's illegal, isn't it? Did you fake your own death cause you caused a lot of grief," Maya admonished. Draco's eyes widened and he looked to Luna. Luna gave a slight giggle before she looked serious once more. Maya watched her carefully and she saw the girl's eyes bright with happiness and relief. She suddenly grew serious.

"He's…he's not alive."

Maya watched as Dumbledore frowned and fixed Draco with a look. Maya analyzed the boy as well. The boy was as pale as ever and she looked as he sat motionlessly. No…that wasn't right. No human could sit perfectly still like that. It didn't even look like he was…breathing.

"You're not breathing," Maya said, flatly. Sirius' eyes widened and Blaise jolted and he looked up at Draco as well. Draco gave a grim smile and looked to Luna.

"His heart doesn't beat either," Bella added. Blaise spun around and shot an accusatory glare at Luna. Luna didn't look perturbed by the penetrating glare that Blaise was giving her.

"What did you do to him? Is that even him?" Blaise hissed, angrily. Draco rolled his eyes and he gave a slight smirk, leaning back in his chair.

"It is me. I still have blood and such. As wizarding tradition, we keep the body in complete stasis. I'm just not…alive, per say. And Luna did not use Necromancy," Draco smirked. He smiled proudly at Luna and Dumbledore looked towards Luna. Luna was looking towards the ground.

"Miss Lovegood, could you clear up the matter for us? I would hate to have to call the Aurors back," Dumbledore said, sincerely. Luna nodded and she started wringing her hands. She sighed and tilted her head, carefully.

"I…as you know, my mother was an Elf and my father is a wizard. I inherited both types of magic though they are quite different. My wizarding magic is incredibly Light and my Elven magic is Light as well though with Dark tendencies. I am a Seer. It's considered Dark in some cultures. I couldn't live without Draco. So, I…I made a trade with Morgan le Fay and Lily Potter. I traded my wizarding magic for Draco's life. A life where he would never die. I suppose he could find a way to die if he really wanted to. Going through the Veil would work but I digress. I am now fully an Elf. I'm a creature now," Luna said, proudly. Dumbledore's eyes widened and he looked at her with intense surprise. He had an Elf in his prescence. She didn't know all of the secrets but she would soon.
