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
Please do continue! Ever since reading Enraptured I've wondered about just how Luna would make this prophecy come to pass.This chapter was mesmerizing. I could just imagine how Luna was feeling sitting on that bench with him behind her. Poor thing's heart was probably beating out of her chest! I remember a guy I had a crush on standing behind me to teach me how to play a drum roll.....*sigh*
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence and for your willingness to read a very different pairing.
*happy sigh* I love that scene. I'm glad it was able to bring back a happy moment for you. :) I imagine you're right - her heart probably was beating our of her chest! It will be interesting to see her reaction later on to this kiss - she's so busy plotting now, she didn't even take a moment to enjoy the afterglow! LOL
Thanks, again!
*purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs...with the slightest of claw-prickle kneadings, as a warning not to stop* This isn't normally my one true 'ship, but I do like your writing!*purrrrrrrrrrrrrrs some more*~Lotm
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Mmm ... lotm massage ... yeah, right there ... Ouch! Watch those claws! I'll write more, I swear!
I'm not sure if Draco/Luna is anyone's one true 'ship. LOL It's definitely not mine, as you know, but Luna was too much fun to resist! Thank you so much for the lovely review. 
Oh so Draco thinks he has a plan does he? Good luck with that. I can't wait to see how Luna deals with him. Looking forward to more great chapters.Tamara
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Yeah, we'll see how long his plan lasts. *laughs* So glad you're enjoying this! Thank you!
I must say I like this pairing. I think they complete each other. So different but yet so alike. A good match. There is more to Luna than meets the eye. You are a very good write. Moving on to next chapter.Tamara

Hi! Thank you so much! This is a very unusual pairing, but I'm finding that I like them quite a bit. I'm glad you do, too!
Good thing Luna is smart enough to think like a Slyterin!

She's her mother's daughter. ;) Thanks so much!

Another two, or three, or four chapters... there's never too much of a good thing! Just the way I like it: already knowing the outcome of the story, so I can concentrate on the how, when and where.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much, Hannah! It is one where you know the outcome, isn't it? It's kinda nice! LOL Glad you're enjoying it!

I was glad to see the update. Poor Draco can't see that he's the one pining away... I can't wait to see how Draco reacts to Luna's more aggressive plan -- you've got him well primed for it. :-)

*rubs hands together gleefully* Yes, I think Draco is about to have his comeuppance. :D Thank you so much!

Oh, poor stupid Draco. He needs to suffer for what he has done, but I think putting up with Astoria Greengrass is suffering enough.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
He is being a total idiot. Sigh. The quesetion is ... how much more stupid can he get? LOL Astoria ... yeah. ;)Thank you so much!

I don't think we would object if there were 10 more chapters! I just love this story.

All right, Luna has palyed her cards. Poor Draco, he's uncomfortable in the bed he's chosen. Whoot! Let's see how he reacts to her date?
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Oh, yes. The fun is about to begin! LOL The next chapter is one I have been waiting to write since the beginning--this is going to be fun! LOL Thanks so much!

Oh, my only objection is that you've left us with a horrible cliffhanger! I love Luna's resolve and Draco's pun about the instrument of his downfall. Her instincts were right. I love Pansy's line about Hermione being married to a Slytherin, and I am so thrilled that Severus has been present in this story.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you noticed Draco's pun -- I liked that line. LOL Yes, Luna knows what she has to do ... she's just taking a risk that he'll react how she wants him to. More Severus to come. Yay! ;)Thanks so much!

Ach, Draco! Don't leave! I loved the chapter and the cliffie.

Right: Fright -> Flight! Men... It's good that at least Luna has some sense. What's this about Hermione fainting with exhaustion? Is she pregnant? Pls update again soon!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
LOL Isn't that the truth? He's just freaking out isn't he? Hermione has just overworked herself--she's not pregnant (that I know of! LOL). She's just letting the Ministry take advantage of her ... but I have a feeling that won't happen again. ;) Thanks so much, Hannah!

You. are. AWESOME.You just ripped my heart out and stomped on it. Viciously. And here, I am thanking you for it.SOS.He had used her for his own selfish gain, and she had stupidly fallen for his lies. I did snarfle a little at that, though.Memo: To Draco MalfoyUmmm, dude? Ravenclaw.With love, Reality.

You just ripped my heart out and stomped on it. Viciously. And here, I am thanking you for it.Best compliment EVER! :DHe does seem to underestimate her at times, doesn't it? You'd think he would have learned. Bit of ostrich, that one. *nods*Thanks so much, m'dear!

I'd missed reading most of the chapters of this story. But I'm caught up now and eager for more. I can't wait to see what happens when Draco finds out that Luna knew about his plan all along.I'll wait patiently for the last two chapters. :) Thanks for sharing!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much for the lovely comments! I can't wait to see Draco's reaction, either. It will be priceless (I hope!). ;)I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Oh, no. What a hard chapter for Draco. I can't wait to see where you take it.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
It was a very difficult chapter for him -- I put him on quite the emotional rollercoaster. ;)Thank you so much!

Oh, dear! I just knew Draco wasn't going to take it well when he finally realized he loved Luna. I was rather hopeful that Severus could talk some sense into him. Poor Hermione certainly has a whole lotta explaining to do! And poor Luna has seen Draco half insane with worry and calling her love and has now fallen asleep in a warm golden glow of declaring her own love for him. The morning light is going to be especially harsh when she awakens to find he has left her.Spectacular chapter, my dear! You certainly had me on an emotional roller coaster. From the relief of knowing Luna was fine to the fear that Hermione had been poisoned. From Draco's overload of worry for Luna to his sweet relief to his misguided reasoning and heartbreaking conclusion. Oh, Draco! Loving Luna won't make you less of a Malfoy. It will make you a brighter, better Malfoy.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Severus almost did talk some sense into him -- which is why I had such a hrad time with this chapter! lOL Draco is so desperately wants to love and be loved, but now that it's within his grasp, he's not sure how to reconcile that desire with his desire to have at least *one* thing left of his heritage. He just doesn't see (yet) how the two can coincide. *tsks at himAnd yes, the morning will be quite harsh indeed for Luna. *sniffles*Thank you so much for the lovely review, m'dear!

Two weeks! Woman, what are you doing to us! Two weeks, and Draco fleeing in the face of the horrible, dreadful, awful realization that he is in love and could have everything he could ever want except a dull, sterile marriage and the cold comfor of Tradition Maintained!This was worth slaving over, m'dear, as you got his ninner turmoil, his unwillingness to face his feelings, and the panic that ensues when he finally does--you got all them exactly right. This really is a lovely pairing.And I do so hope that Severus helps Hermione find a better way to deal with the nasties. She obviously needs a bit of Slytherin guidance!Excellent job!love, w

I know, I know. I'm evil! Muahahaha! Seriously, though, it might not be that long. We shall see how it goes -- I really need to finish my exchange fic. LOLI'm so glad you feel that my efforts were not wasted with this chapter. I put myself, the characters, and you, the reader, through quite an emotional rollercoaster with this one, but I wanted it to be just right. So I'm thrilled that you think that I did!Hah! Yes. Hermione needs to think about what it really means to be a Snape. *snickers*Thank you so much, W!

Faced with the truth, he ran away. Geeze, almost made me laugh. Severus saw it and everyone else - but Draco. and now that he does, he runs. I look forward to the next chapter when he realizes he can't run away from his heart.

It was totally expected, wasn't it? LOL He's being such a little coward. Sigh. And yes, you have it. That's exactly what he has to realize. Thanks so much!!
