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. First Place in Draconian Measures at the 2007 OWL Awards; Runner Up for Best Fluff in Round Three of the Quill to Parchment Awards.

Just an avid reader who somehow stumbled into HP fanfiction. I read and sometimes, I write.

Oh what a shitty thing to do!

I make them do awful things, I know. *cringes* More to come! Thanks so much!

Every character in this chapter absolutely sparkled! And, as odd as the thought of a sparkly Severus is, you really did it!I can see how this last scene would have been hard to write; it was heartbreakingly perfect. You've been leading up to this the whole time, and there was no other way Draco could respond. I hope the muse cooperates and we get the next chapter on schedule!

Thank you so much for such a lovely review! You've eased my nerves about this chapter. I truly wanted it just right, so I'm thrilled that you found it to be so. I'm so relieved! So far the Muse is cooperating quite nicely. I'll be sure to post how it's going on my LJ. ;)Thank you, again!

I strongly suspect he's going to chase her until she catches him. Let's see how his plan goes.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Dual plans ... should be interesting, I think! :) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
i can't wait until you finish this one....great beginning!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed these first two chapters. :D
Wackawoo! away....that was truly wonderful! You should start a whole series about Sly!Luna with her remembered prophecies cause that was a true nargle infested enjoyable run through the mistletoe....LOL!
Thanks for sharing!
Aww, how cute! I really hope you will continue this.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you! I have decided to continue this story and am working on the next chapter right now. Hopefully it will post early next week. Thanks, again! :)
I loved this chapter. It is fun to see how they are falling in love with each and how they are making each other better by being together. I hope that you get the next chapter up before you leave. 
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much! I 'm glad you're enjoying the story thus far. I didn't manage to get the chapter complete before I left, but it is very, very close so it should be up soon. Thanks, again! :)

This story had more than one 'favorite' moment.I can't wait to read more.

Your story was recommended on Potter Place and I am glad I gave it a go. I love Luna and am happy to see her paired with Draco. I love the art at the top of the chappie, too.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
How lovely! I hope you enjoy the other chapters, too. I do love writing Luna -- she's so much fun! And I'm so glad you like the art -- I did that! *preens* It was my very first photo manipulation, and I love the way it turned out. :DThank you so much!

great chapter, worth the wait. the 'date' has a really nice romantic flow, it's perfect.

Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm so glad you found it worth the wait -- I hope the next wait won't be as long!

Wow, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at how Draco's falling head first. This story now has, in addition to one of the best first kisses, one of the best first dates. Both of these characters are quite exceeding my imagination.

Aw, thank you! I'm so glad (and relieved) that you enjoyed their first day. Thank you so much for the lovely review! :D

Aaaaaw! They found them! This has been a tremendously sweet story, and a joy to read. I like the transformation of Draco, and I think you did a good job of getting him in character. And Luna, who is very easy to overdo, was very well caught as well- not excessively strange or batty, but unpredictable and slightly off-kilter, the way we love her.
I have to say that I was grinning at the end. Draco's mating call is 'Wackawoo'...This is great. I can't wait to see how Luna pulls it off.

I loved your description of the date, especially Draco's reaction to McDonald's. And I gess Draco will feel more "indigestion" symptoms soon...
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
LOL I'm sure Draco is going to have a lot of "indigestion" before it's over! ;) Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter.

Absolute perfection! There is no better first date for Draco and Luna. The fact that he spoke with her father had to please Luna to no end. The fact Draco actually took his advice must have sent her over the moon. “Right. You lead, and I’ll follow.”That statement coming from his lips would have to mean more to her than all the poetry and sweet nothings in the world.Loved the nargles. Loved the mistletoe. Loved the Griffleback Snorflunks. But most of all, I loved Draco's mating call.“Wackawoo,” he breathed more than voiced, allowing the warm, moist air from his mouth to tickle the sensitive flesh behind her ear. ~Sighs contentedly.~

Oh, sweetie, I'm so glad you liked this chapter. It about killed me, I tell you, but in the end, I'm pretty happy with it overall. I'm so glad you noticed that about that line -- it truly does mean more to her than poetry or sweet nothings and I love that she recognizes that fact. Thank you so much!

Haha... I just love all the fun creatures Luna has been mentioning in this chapter. It's very entertaining!

Thank you so much, gabi! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Yay! I hadn't intended to wait until the epilog was posted, but I'm glad I did because the ending is just what was needed. So many cute details fill me with joy. Your Luna really is a neverending source of astonishing ideas. *applauds*
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much for the lovely comments. Luna is so much fun -- and quite difficult! -- to write, and I've been so amazed at how well she's been received. I'm so glad you enjoyed her! :)
Response from WriterMerrin (Reviewer)
I enjoyed this so much that I went back and read the last few chapters of Enraptured, too.
Wackawoo, wackawoo!Adorable little tale! So, so, so amazing! I love this pairing, you should try it again sometime, you write it excellently!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment! I might revisit this Draco/Luna later -- one-shot snippets of their life together. You never know! ;) I'm so glad you enjoyed the story!Thanks, again!WACKAWOO!!!
Awwwwww! And they lived wackily ever after! Of course she'd have to tell Draco. What a sweet ending to a delightful story. It's been a joy from beginning to end.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Hahahaha! They did live wackily ever after! *snickers* I'm go glad you enjoyed the story, m'dear! Thank you so much!!
