Chapter 3

It was Artemis’ birthday, well it was Nemia’s too but that didn’t matter as much to her.

Luna dressed in flowing silver and turquoise dress robes. They were figure hugging, it had a silver top that clung like a second skin, the skirt was a similar fabric the lower half and a matching tulle. The entire ensemble was covered in silver spangles that glowed liked fairy lights. On her shoulders was a quilted silk double-sided cape that belonged her mother Demeter. She wore a pair of turquoise dance slippers on her feet and her white gold hair flowed over her shoulders in waves.

In her arms was a gift box wrapped in silver and green paper inside set of green and silver dress robes, silver dance slippers and a green rose corsage. Luna also had other gifts for Artemis.

Draco glanced at her, “Are you trying to kill Artemis?”

Luna flushed, “Draco!”

Draco laughed, “Just teasing lighten up cousin.”

He was escorting her to the Slytherin common room; Draco chuckled as he spoke the password, “Vindictus.” Which was the name of a former Slytherin who served once as Potions master of Hogwarts.

Luna pressed his hand, “Thank you. It’s still alright to use your floo correct?”

Draco nodded, “Of course.”

Luna entered the Slytherin common room, the black leather couches and chairs were full of Slytherins students.

“Professor Malfoy.” One said rising.

“Miss Bainbridge please escort Lady Lovegood to Prefect Prince’s chamber.” Draco ordered.

The girl was obviously well brought up, she curtsied and gestured, “Please follow me Lady.”

Luna waved at Draco and followed her.

“Any reason you’re visiting the Ice Queen?”

Luna’s eyes flashed, “Does Loony Lovegood need a reason?”

The girl flushed and went silent leading her up the stairs.

They reached a door with a silver snake on it.

Bainbridge knocked twice.

The door opened, Artemis blinked, “Yes Tabitha?”

Luna swept past the girl and greeted her, “Darling.” taking her hand and kissing it.

Artemis blushed. “Luna?”

Luna closed the door with a bit of wandless magic. “I’ve come to take you on a date. I have permission from your father. Proved that I have you back by midnight.”

Artemis bit her lip, “You’re serious?”

Luna held out the dress box, “Hurry up and dress.”

Artemis accepted the box, sitting on the bed and opening it. She gaped at it, unfolding the silver and green dress, removing the silver shoes and green rose wrist corsage. She glanced up at Luna, “These are too pretty.”

Luna lifted her chin and kissed her lightly. “We’ll be late for dinner if you don’t hurry.”

Artemis gingerly gathered up the dress, she opened her wardrobe and removed a set of silver stockings. Shyly she pulled out a silver corset decorated with green vines and laced with a green cord along with a green garter belt. She dashed into the en suite bathroom to dress.

Luna sat on the bed trying not to see Artemis’ under things

XoooooX

Artemis stripped out of her Slytherin uniform down to her silver lace underwear; she slithered into the corset and used a charm to adjust it. She put on the garter belt and then gently drew the silk stockings up her legs and attached them to the garter belt so they wouldn’t run. The slip from her uniform would do and she put it back on. Artemis used a dressing charm she learned from her godmother to fit the dress on her properly.

Finally, she undid the pins that held up her hair.

It felt to her shoulders in curly ebony waves. Her amber eyes looked striking with her pale skin. A flick of her wand and her uniform was in the laundry.

Artemis shyly left the bathroom.

XoooooX

Luna looked up to find her girlfriend entering; she was stunning. “Merlin that suits you better then I guessed.”

It was clear that both dresses had been designed by the same person…

Artemis smoothed the skirt and sat gingerly before slipping the silver dance slippers on her feet.

“It’s cold out. Do you have something warm to wear over that?” Luna asked swallowing.

Artemis nodded, summoning a green velvet cloak from her godmother. “From Aunt Narcissa.”

Luna pulled her to her feet and put the cloak on her, pausing before doing the clasp. He slide the rose corsage on Artemis’ wrist. Finally pulling out two velvet boxes.

Artemis frowned, “You’ve already given me the dress…”

Luna opened the first one; nestled in a bed of velveted black Jarvey skin was a platinum cauldron pendant on a green velvet ribbon. On it were three moons; the waxing cresset was moonstone, the full moon was now garnet and the waning crescent was onyx. The full moon had been Amethyst when it belonged to her grandmother Hera who had been bonded to Astoria Greengrass. “It’s a family piece, I thought being an aspiring potions mistress it would suit you.” She placed the pendant over Artemis’ head and the cauldron rest on hr chest above her heart.

Then Luna opened the second box, inside it was a platinum bracelet with three arches, platinum waxing crescent and an emerald that was joined to the moon. She placed the bracelet on the wrist opposite the previous bracelet.

Artemis touched the cauldron pendant, “It’s pretty.”

Luna kissed her check, “So are you.” Clasping the cloak’s snake broach so it sat snugly on Artemis. “Come, we’ll floo from Draco’s office.”

She took Artemis’ arm and led her from her room.

The whispers followed them.

Luna was proud of her date’s loveliness and jealous of the appreciative and intense desire some showed.

They entered Draco’s office.

Artemis’ brother-in-law whistled, “What a lovely couple you make. Where are you going?”

“To dinner and dancing. In case of apparition, and Artemis being underage we’ll both stick to juices.” Luna grinned, “Come along dear heart.”

Luna led her into floo and called out, “Avalon Gardens.” Before throwing the powder at their feet

Artemis shivered.

Avalon Gardens was a high society place, they had exquisite meals and live music. It was expensive and required reservations at least three weeks in advance.

They entered the foyer of the restaurant, it was designed to appear outdoors. It had n enchanted ceiling that showed the brilliant blue sky of a clear summer day. The carpet was charmed to look and feel like grass.

The tables where dwarven iron wrought designs, they were lovely to behold and made comfortable with cushioning charms. They were a lovely white decorated with vines. The gardens were hedged with rose in every colour imaginable. The paths were lined with amethysts and crystal flagstones, which led from the entrance, the kitchen and out to eat table.

Artemis gasped looking around, “Luna…”

Luna took her face in her hand, “You look exquisite, relax.”

“Do you have a reservation?”

Luna glared at the man imperiously, “Lady Luna Lovegood and guest.”

“Name?”

“My guest is my business. I would not bring anyone to this place if I felt they would not be worthy of it. Do you forget my pedigree includes Lady Rowena, a Founder of Hogwarts?” Luna said stiffly.

Artemis whispered, “If this place for purebloods?”

“Your parents are just as magical as mind. You have magical grandparents, what does it matter? Your heart chose me just as your brother’s chose Draco. Your brother’s children are purebloods.” Luna whispered in her ear.

They followed their host along the jewelled path.

They reached a secluded table, the music dancing on the wind.

The place seemed to be outside, the wind smelled of flowers, the grass seemed like grass and the sun felt real. A pair of trees that appeared to have grown entwined was near the table.

Luna pulled off her cloak and then removed Artemis’ before hung them both on the branches.

Then she pulled out Artemis’ chair and led her to it. Bringing Artemis’ hand to her lips. “The perfect setting for you.”

They were served sparkling strawberry juice, salads with raspberry vinaigrette and a chicken dish. They shared a large chocolate mouse topped with sweet cream.

Artemis was shy but smiled.

Luna stood, “Ready to leave?”

Artemis frowned, “Is it over already?”

Luna laughed, “Of course not, we’re going dancing.”

Leading her back to the entrance, she pulled Artemis into her arms, Apparating them to their next location.

It was called the Crystal Ballroom, the floor was gold veined marble that floated, the walls were made of crystal and the roof shimmered like it was lit with a million starts. Lumos-it candle filled chandeliers hovered above them.

Artemis turned in a circle, “It’s….”

“Made more beautiful because of you.” Luna took her hand, “You know how to dance?”

Artemis flushed, “Aunt Narcissa taught us…we also had music lessons at Hecate’s. I was dismal at many of them. Nemia had most of that talent.”

“Don’t degrade yourself, you and Nemia may look alike but you are different people. Dance with him.”

Artemis was whirled onto the dance floor, feeling like she was floating on clouds. A warm hand pressed to her lower back, its arm cradled her waist holding her close while Luna’s other hand held hers.

They danced, waltzing together.

Luna led her in the dance, they drifted amoung the other couples and ignoring them as well.

They moved together flowing to the music.

Then it changed to a Viennese waltz.

They danced through that one as well.

Artemis was flushed in excitement, “I could use some water.”

Luna led her to the bar, “Two strawberry waters.”

They sipped their water, relaxing before Luna led them out to join a Quadrille.

After three more songs Luna checked the time, it was after eleven.

Artemis frowned, “So soon?”

Luna laughed, “I said I would have you home by midnight, I didn’t say I was going to leave right away.”

Artemis flushed, “You don’t have to stay…”

Luna kissed her palm, “I want to.”

They headed back to the one-way floos. Since most of the Ballroom guests were too tipsy or drunk to Apparate the floos were available as transportation for those leaving.

They flooed back to Draco’s office in the dungeons and retraced their steps to Artemis’ room.

They didn’t notice the chime that peeled out when they returned no doubt informing her dad or Draco.

Artemis spoke the password softly, the common room was filled only with small handful of studious fifth, sixth and seventh years that chose to stay up late on a Friday night.

They ignored them and were in turn ignored.

They hung their cloaks on the back of Artemis’ door and Artemis locked the door and put up privacy charms. If only to keep out noisy interlopers, the best thing about being an investor in Weasley Wizard Wheezes is that she had the charms to prevent the products like extendable ears from being use against her.

Blushing Artemis summoned Dippy one of her father’s elves and requested cups of chocolate.

Artemis let Luna take a seat on her desk chair drawing it closer to the bed. Swallowing nervously, “Thank you. Tonight was amazing.”

Luna smiled, “I wanted to arrange something you would enjoy. I know so little about you. I know you want to be a Potions Mistress, I know your fathers and your brother but I don’t know you. I want to. Especially in light of what I asked your papa.”

Artemis blinked at her, “You asked papa what?”

Luna took Artemis’ hands in her own, “I don’t want to merely date you Artemis. I went to him to ask permission to Court you.”

Artemis gaped at her, “You want to court me?”

Luna squeezed her hands gently, “Tell me where I could ever find someone who could love her the way you have? You took on my tormentors your first year. You look out for others; you protected your sister at Hecate’s. You are a protector but you don’t bother about yourself. I think you are a shy but beautiful and talented individual. I want to travel the road of life at your side. I want to be your partner, your friend and lover. I can’t imagine being with anyone else.”

“You really mean it?” Artemis whispered.

“Of course. Your papa thinks you are a lot like him. I think he sees come of your dad in me. He gave me permission to court you and took my promise not to hurt you. If I did: which I will strive not to, I think Harry, Draco and Remus would want my head. I would hate to make your cry or cause you pain. That would break my heart. I already find myself thinking about you often. Worrying over you…”

“I worry for you because of my brothers. What you offered to do for my family is dangerous.”

Luna let out a musical laugh, “I know my magic. It will accept anything I decide. Harry is my friend. I know how much the loss of a parent can hurt. I lost my mother my mother in September of my First year/ what Dumbledore did to your papa was cruel. He loves you three so much and even your dad. I was a Ravenclaw and I saw that. I want to build a relationship with you that is as strong as the one your father has. Dad loves me but losing mother broke something in him. I didn’t want to see that happen to your family. It brought me closer to your and your family. I want to be a apart of that.“ her voice had turned serious.

Artemis was blinking back tears, “You really want me?”

Luna pulled her into her arms and kissed her deeply, “So much. I never wanted to be with someone like I do you.”

“Not even…”

“Hermione? No, because it was like being in love with a portrait or a statue. They can’t love you back. I can be her friend; I can help her get her life back after what Dumbledore did to her. She could never love me like you can. She could never want me to kiss her, to hold her. She would never let me take her places like I took you. She wouldn’t fit in my arms or let me lead her in a dance like that. It felt like we were flying to music.”

Artemis shivered in Luna’s arms but it was a pleasurable shiver.

Luna ran her fingers through Artemis’ hair, “You’re beautiful. I can’t believe you noticed me when no one else did. I want to be with you. To learn about you”

“Do you have to leave? I wish you would stay.”

“I have nothing to wear to bed.”

Artemis smiled at her, “You can wear something of mine.”

Luna kissed her, “Alright, if that’s what you want.”

Then her arms released her, “We should rest.”

Artemis kissed her shyly before pulling out a silvery thigh high negligee. She handed it out to Luna with shaking hands, “Here…”

Luna rose and kissed her taking it, “Thank you.”

Leaving Artemis behind n the bedroom to change.

Artemis slipped out of her dress and placing it in her wardrobe. She undressed quickly replacing everything where it belonged. She slipped into a black silk negligee and put n a sheer black gauze robe.

Just in time for Luna to exit with her clothes she’d worn on their date on her arm.

Luna licked her lips, “Sweet Merlin.”

Artemis drew the robe closer to wrapped around her body, forgetting that it was sheer.”

Luna dropped her clothes on the chair and pulled Artemis into her arms. “You look breath-taking.” Lifting her head and kissing her, “Happy birthday.”

Artemis’ arms moved to wrap around Luna’s neck, “Luna.”

They fell into the bed, kissing.

Luna stroked her hair, tracing her face and ran a gentle thumb over Artemis’ lips. “I don’t want to be anywhere else.”

Artemis relaxed, gazing up at her, “I’m glad.”

They shared soft kisses and curious touches, finally drifting off with Artemis cradled to Luna’s chest.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
