Luna wandered through the forest, aimlessly walking with no set destination. She had her bag slung over her shoulder and her picture folded up in her pocket as she walked barefoot through the forest. She emerged into a small clearing and smiled upon seeing a river. She sat down and dangled her feet in the water, setting her bag down next to her. Pulling the picture out of her pocket, she smiled upon seeing the slightly distorted photo of her mother, damaged by the water.

Draco had left the north side of the island to go check elsewhere. He was now there, on the west side, and followed the river to see where it was taking its source. As he walked, he noticed a girl by herself. First thinking she was one of those island dwellers, he realized she was not. It was Luna 'Loony' Lovegood. He rolled his eyes and walked, trying to pretend he didn't see her.

Luna kicked her feet around in the water, noticing Draco walking in her direction. She decided she didn't need any more of her things damaged, so she remained silent, still looking down at the smiling blonde woman in the picture who waved every once in a while. Luna sighed, frowning as memories of that horrible day flashed through her thoughts.

Draco passed next to her. He peeked, looking at the picture. It was a woman, blond just like Luna. Her mother probably. He didn't even realized he ahd stopped himself to look at the picture.

Luna sensed someone was standing behind her and turned slightly so she could look over her shoulder. "It's my mother..." she said softly, biting her lips as all her bottled up emotions from the accident started to bubble up to the surface. She turned back around and continued kicking her feet in the water, assuming that he was just going to continue walking.

Draco realized he was staring at the picture and had stopped walking. He slapped himself mentally for that. He walked a bit further, kicking some rocks.

"What? Don't have a horrible comment? That's very unusual." she said, running her fingers over the damaged picture lightly, still staring down at it. She felt the wind whip at her hair, making it dance around her face. "You of all people usually have something nasty to say to me."

"Don't tempt me Lovegood." he said, not even turning around to face her. He stopped a few fet away from her and kicked the rocks in the river.

"Sorry...I've just come to expect it...is something wrong? Is that why you're acting strange?" she asked, pulling her eyes from the photograph and looking over at him, with his back to her. She kept the picture in her hands, not wanting to put it away, and out of her sight.

"I'm not strange!" he said, colder than he was previously talking. He was pissed everyone seemed to find him different from his usal self. "If I don't want to speak, I'm not speaking, is that a crime?"

"No." she said softly, turning her eyes back down onto the picture, slightly startled by the sudden change in his tone. Luna bit her lower lip and closed her eyes, only to have a horrible scene flash through her head. She gasped slightly and opened her eyes quickly, taking the picture and setting it beside her in the grass, face down.

He rose an eyebrow as he watched her face changing suddenly before she turned the picture face down and laid it on the grass. His eyes were asking the question, what was that, when he didn't speak it.

She pulled her feet out of the water and wrapped her arms around her legs, burying her head in her arms and biting her lip. She had almost completely forgotten that he was still even there. With her eyes closed again the scene flased over and over and she shook her head, trying to clear her head of the horrible vision.

Draco frowned, wondering what was wrong with Luna. He didn't dare to ask. Even if they never sopke much, he knew her reputation very well, and thought maybe it was just in her nature.

She pulled her head out of her arms, tears rolling freely down her cheeks and stared out across the river, keeping her arms around her legs. She had never let herself cry about her mother's death. She didn't even cry when she saw it happen. All of her emotions and sadness were bottled up until this very moment, when she couldn't hold it in any more.
