Sequel to my SSHG story, Enraptured. A prophecy says Luna and Draco will one day fall in love. That was six years ago, and Luna is tired of waiting around. It's time to take matters into her own hands. Unfortunately, Draco has a plan of his own.

Just an avid reader who somehow stumbled into HP fanfiction. I read and sometimes, I write.
Reviews for Heart and Soul
Lovely story of Luna's mother, and I do so hope that Draco takes the lesson to heart--assuming, that is, that Luna makes it through (but I trust you, m'dear, to give us all a very happy ending!).Yet now we must wait patiently for more! Evil cliffie, evil!!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
I'm evil, I know. ;) But I did write on vacation, so more will come very, very soon! I'm glad you enjoyed my take on Luna's mother. The basics are from canon, of course, but I couldn't resist extrapolating a bit. ;)As for Luna ... well, you'll have to wait and see! :DThanks, hon! *hugs!*

I just love the way Luna thinks, and your ability to take us along for that ride is terrific. You've made it clear that she really does love him, because she understands him and is able to figure out how he thinks. Draco doesn't stand a chance!

Thank you so much, honey! Your comments are so fabulous -- exactly what I'm trying to get at. *glomps*

Okay thats just plain MEAN!! You go and write to brilliant chapters and then leave us with an evil cliffie!!! OHHHH you BRAT!! Please come home soon and write us another chapter so Draco can understand he ain't going no where without Luna in his life. BTW I totally love your line, 'I would have had the Sun, the Moon, and Stars in my arms. . . .' gorgeous!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
I do love cliffies. LOL I hadn't planned on including one in this story, but this was too good ... um ... evil to resist! ;)I did do some writing while I was away, however, and the next chapter should post very, very soon! See? I was good. :)I'm so glad you enjoyed that line -- it's one of my favorites.Thank you so much!

This continues to be delicious! And if Draco tells himself one more time that he mustn't shag her, well, we know where this will lead! Methinks he doth protest altogether too much. I adore the fact that Luna is no dum-dum. That's part of why Draco is falling, falling, falling....
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
LOL Me also thinks he doth protest too much. But well ... we'll see what becomes of all his protestations later on. ;)Yes, I decided that I was tired of Luna's Ravenclaw tendencies being ignore. She's a clever, smart girl ... why not showcase that side of her a bit? She's also very, very observant, which helps her tremendously. And Draco ... yeah. He's falling quite hard ... not that he knows it yet. Thanks, again, honey!

Draco thinks he's so very clever!
Silly wabbit, Luna's the best choice out there, as he is about to begin finding out....
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Yes, he certainly does think he's clever ... he's about to have his bubble burst by one Ms Luna Lovegood, however. :)Thanks, honey!

It is so lovely to revisit this! Your Luna continues to be exquisite--dreamy and singular and so beautifully accepting of the world.This time around, I particular enjoyed the subtle difference between ogling, not leering, the innocence of that distinction. I also love the way she is saving up all the little sensations for later fantasy sequences.And I also adore the fact that, while she believes she was playing the piano, she was apparently just sliding her hands up and down the keyboard. I'm quite sure it sounded like music to her!

Thanks so much, sweetie, for revisiting! And you noticed my favorite bits about this chapter! *squishes you*

Oh, I am sure he will realize a few things now... Thank you for this amazing story which I have found today. I was too eager to read on, so I am only reviewing the last chapter. Í am looking forward to the update, though.

Oh no! You're doing an amazing job showing Draco's delema. The whole bit with Xeno is quite touching.

Awww! Poor Xeno! I loved how you coordinated all of the names of the Lovegoods though! Such a touching story... And goodness! I hope Luna is okay, and maybe Draco admits a few things...
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much for all the lovely reviews! The Lovegoods story is one that always intrigued me in canon. It's just so sad. I extrapolated a bit, of course. ;) I'm glad you enjoyed it.More to come very soon! Thanks, again!

As always, Luna is indeed a peculiar breed. And poor Draco, he has no idea what's happening...
Love it as always
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)

Draco is already starting to fall! hehe...
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
He certainly is! :DThank you!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
He certainly is! :DThank you!
Oh, no! I hope Luna isn't injured too seriously, but maybe this will be just the shove Draco needs to give up The Plan.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
*whistles innocently* Not much I can say that wouldn't give too much away, so I'll just say ...Thank you so much! :D

Oh, how sweet that Luna has a bin of lavender airplanes to treasure! Draco in denial is a thing of beauty. I rather think that won't be lasting much longer. That was quite an enlightening chat he had with Luna's father. She wore a set of deep green robes with bronze-coloured piping that were obviously tailor-made and very expensive. Green, eh? Why do I think that Xenophilius was the Ravenclaw and Solange was a Slytherin with Ravenclaw piping?Oh, poor Luna! Poor Xenophilius! Poor Draco! And they all have to suffer for days without end while someone is off having fun.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
I'm a mean, terrible author, I know. I left them all hanging for a week -- but in my defense, I did get a chance to write a bit, so the next bit is almost done! See? I was good! ;)I'm so glad you liked Luna's bin of lavender airplanes -- it seemed the sort of thing she would enjoy. And yes, Draco is knee-deep in denial. *shakes head* As for Xenophilius and Solange ... I can confirm that at least one is correct (of course, I can do that because it was already mentioned in the epilogue of Enraptured). You'll find out about the other later on. ;)Thanks so much, honey! More to come very soon, I promise!

Oh ho! Draco will certainly be surprised when he finds out his plan is going to crumble in his hands. >:)

LOL Yes, he certainly will be! :) Thank you!!

Ah ha! I can't believe I didn't see this before on TPP! I've been waiting to see when this story came out, and to see that there are four chapters!!! My lucky day.And I love how you're making Luna so much more than most... She wasn't sorted into Ravenclaw for anything after all!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
*waves* Hi! I'm so glad you found it ... and aren't you lucky to not have to wait? :) I'm so glad you're enjoying my take on Luna. She's quite fun to write, and I like showing a side to her that we don't normally see ... the smart, clever side. Thanks so much!

I love Draco in denial, but you are evil. Evil, I say.hurmph.And I'll bet all my donuts that Solange was Slytherin. And that Xeno was Ravenclaw.(evil).
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Are you trying to say that I'm evil? *blinks* Me?*snickers*Your donuts are safe ... at least one on count. (See epilogue to Enraptured!) As for the other one, my lips are sealed for the moment. ;)I did do some writing while on vacation, so another chapter should be up soon! Thanks so much, honey! *hugs*

Oh, my goodness! Like mother like daughter and not in a good way. Too bad, Xeno didn't give draco more deatils about their realationship. Enjoying the ride, thank goodness I bought a ticket!

I think it was lovely! Too bad they didn't see the elusive creatures - but they heard them. Draco is def falling for Luna! I'm glad. She'd be good for him.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you, m'dear! Our elusive creatures will return again later, but I think our couple was a bit too busy to go take a look. *winks* I think Luna would be very good for Draco -- he's certainly learning to not take things so seriously, and you're right ... he's falling for her even though he doesn't want to. More soon! Thanks, again!

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! UPDATE!!!! this is one DM/LL that i'm actually interested in.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
*grins* I'm so glad you're enjoying this story! I am currently working on the next chapter, so hopefully it will up soon. :)Thank you so much!
Draco is doomed; Luna knows him too well!
A great plot, please continue!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
LOL Yes, he won't know what hit him! I'm working on the next chapter right now. Hopefully it will be up soon. Thank you!
Oh, please, YES. I mean, I do want to see more of this unexpected pairing. Hehe, yes the highest Muggle ranks do tend to force kids into piano lessons, and I love that you make wizards do the same!Four chapters are up, let me see those at least.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much! It really is an unxpected pairing, but I'm really enjoying writing them. :) I hope you enjoyed the rest what's currently posted!
