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.
Reviews for Heart and Soul
I've been waiting for this chapter and you didn't disappoint! Thanks for updating - looking forward to the epilogue to post soon. (And I agree with a previous poster, once the epi is up I'll probably read it again from start to finish!)Now I need to search out your other stories - like your style.

Thank you so very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the story -- I'm just getting ready to post the epilogue, so not a long wait this time! LOL
Aw, sweet! And once again, Luna proves that she knows what she's doing. I'm glad that Draco finally figured out his priorities.I think Neville's grandmother was Augusta, not August, wasn't she?Anyway, Shug, thanks for a terrific story!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. :)Oh, and thanks for catching that typo! I've fixed it. :D
<i>Or perhaps she ought to wait until after breakfast—it was the most important meal of the day</i>
So many wonderful lines in this chapter. I love the way Luna's plan wove (not a great sentence, but my brain is befuddled).Cheers to Severus for catching on so quickly!Nice twist with Astoria and Adrian's pairing!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter -- I really worked hard to get it right. :DEpilogue soon!
I knew the moment Adrain spoke up that he and Astoria were in love. I'm glad Draco came to his senses. Now he can really love Luna the way she deserves (and himself as well).Livvy

Thank you so much for all the lovely reviews. I had a great time "watching you read." :) I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. Thanks, again!
He bitched out. Cold stuff. Well, Draco is going to be feeling a lot of pain and he will deserve every bit of it!Livvy
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
He certainly did. Sigh. He just doesn't have his head on straight, unfortunately. Thank you!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this amazing story! *hugs*
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you for such a lovely review! The epilogue should post in a few days! :)
Man, that harsh, but poor guy, he has to stop thinking he has to live up to his parent's ideals. He has to be his own person and realize and accept who he is and what he wants. He already knows, that's pretty much 90% of it. Now he has to take that last step and accept it. THen he will be his own man, free and clear.Livvy
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Yes, that's exactly it. He just had a very difficult time letting go all the way. Thank you!!
What a little gem of a story - I loved it, thank you!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Draco is falling fast! And the best part is that he doesn't really know it.Livvy
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
He certainly is, and you're right -- he doesn't know it. Not at all. I actually think he was falling for her before the piano lesson, even, but just didn't want to admit it. Ah, but he will. He will! *insert evil, maniacal laughter*Thank you!
ROTFLMAO!!!!! Who is getting gamed now? She's got his number. You go Luna!Livvy
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Hee! I'm so glad you're enjoying the story! Thank you!
Well, well, well. Our Draco thinks he's going to game Luna, but he's gonna get schooled! This should be good! LOL!Livvy
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
He certainly does! I tihnk Luna definitely has the upperhand, however. *snickers*Thank you!
Thank you soooo much for not abandoning this story!! I had to reread the last two capters and I'll probably reread the whole story once it is complete, but I have to say, I enjoyed this chapter very much! It was so very sweet!! Great work, I'm looking forward to the epilogue!!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Aw! I would never abandon a story. :) It just took me awhile to get back into this story. LOLI'm so glad that you enjoyed the chapter. Epilogue to come very soon!
Aww! I like this odd pairing, it's so sweet!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :)
Hurray! I have always thought a Luna/Draco pairing would be great and your story has done my feelings justice. I know it is quite a rare ship. I wish more people would take it on. Your story is charming and filled with spot on Luna characterizations. Perfect!Thanks for the story. I love it. One of my top favs.

Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much for the lovely review! I waivered quite a bit when considering writing this story due to the pairing, as well as the difficulty of writing Luna--and even in the midst of it, as you can tell! But overall, I'm happy with how it's turned out. Just the epilogue left -- Luna has one last things she need to take care of. ;)Thanks, again!
I love Luna! This story has been so sweet! And I must say, the picture at the end of this chapter is one of the best photo manipulations I have ever seen in my life!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so very much! And I'm glad you enjoyed the photo manip -- it was my first attempt at one, and I was really happy it turned out so lovely. :)The epilogue should post soon!Thanks, again!
Perfect! It was lovely to see all the various plans dovetailing together to form one delightful conclusion. Luna seems so wonderfully clueless at times, but she always cuts right to the heart of the matter. Stealing Draco back wasn't enough. She needed everyone happy. She needed Draco without any regrets on his part. And she got him completely, heart and soul! Thank you for making my dreary, rainy Monday so very much brighter! I shall look forward to the epilogue.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you, m'dear, for the insightful review! I'm so glad (and relieved) that you enjoyed the chapter. *hugs you*
Okay, I am reading this for the first time, although I knew you were doing a sequel to Enraptured. I have completed a fic that I won't be posting for a while, but have completed. Southern has read it since it was one of her stories that gave me the idea. But in my fic, I have an older Draco with Scorpius all grown up holding a ball and a portion of the evening is for the guests to listen to select arrangements of Beethovan-because Draco loves his music so much. One of the pieces is Moonlight Sonata. It is SO weird how these things happen. But I swear on my life and you can ask Southern when she read my fic, I didn't steal the idea from you.So, on to the review :)How do you do it? You can make a kiss so sensual, it was as if they were making love. I have never been a luna/Draco or anything Luna or Draco, but you may have converted me! I can not wait to see how Luna goes about this. It seems though, that Draco has already realized he has some feelings for her. THe chapter was just fabulous and tender.Livvy
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Oh, that's perfectly understandable. Actually, I read a Ginny/Draco story not long ago where Draco also played <i>Moonlight Sonata</i>! There must be something about that piece that says "Draco" to many of us. :)And thank you very much for the lovely comments! This is certainly an odd pairing, but they really grew on me, the more I wrote them. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story -- you came in at just the right time! Only the epilogue is left. :D
You brought a tear to my eye. AWWWW!!!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
*passes tissues* Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Run Draco, run far, run fast and when you stop running, Luna will be there ,waiting for you to catch up.
Luna is so cute! I am glad that she realizes that Draco is not totally truthful. Hopefully Draco learns that he actually would love to spend the rest of his life with her. He would, however, have to reevaluate what he wants in a wife, since Luna is not a normal rich-man's wife.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying Luna--she's so much fun to write! Absolutely, Draco will have to decide what it is he really wants in a wife. Something tells me it isn't what he thinks it is. ;)
Oh yay=) am so glad u updated. hope you'll update soon with more. You write Luna very well.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you! I'm so sorry it took so long, but I promise to have the next one up very soon! Thanks, again. :D
"You have enchanted and enthralled me. I have been unable to think of anything but you....This evening cannot come soon enough..."?!? Good grief...talk about over the top! Would any woman with half an ounce of sense, never mind a Ravenclaw, actually take that sort of thing seriously? A Hufflepuff, maybe...but a Ravenclaw?!? Surely you jest! (Although it is a shame, really, that the men who find it easiest to talk that way are nearly always the ones who don't mean a single word of what they say). I thought Slytherins were supposed to have a taste for subtlety -- but Draco made himself as transparent as glass with that rubbish! I love Luna's comeback...that was perfect.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
You're absolutely right, it was way over the top. I had a great time coming up with that. LOL Thank goodness Draco picked up quickly that such tactics wouldn't work with her! When he wrote that note, he was still approaching this as he would one of the girls he would pick up at the local pub. He'll learn. ;)
Glad you enjoyed Luna's comeback -- no way she's was going to stand for that! LOL
Thanks so much!
Yea thank you for updating. I love your work. She might look odd but she is smart. That is her true gift. And Draco had better watch himself because she is going to give him a run for is money and heart. He might be slick and come up with some really good game but I think she can take him. lol
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Oh, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. I think you're right about Draco, and you're definitely right about Luna! LOL
That was so cute. I do believe Draco has met his match. He just needs to give in to that reality.
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Yes, I think he has. LOL Now, if can get his head out of his arse long enough to see that ... *winks*
Thanks!
Heehee, tootlewomper.. . . . I always wondered ow Luna got away with acting one way when she obviously had more smarts than people gave her credit for-- afterall she WAS a Ravenclaw. yeah can';t wait for more and I loved your SSHG one too!
Response from sshg316 (Author of Heart and Soul)
Thank you! People often forget she was a Ravenclaw ... she's easily underestimated, and I think she'll give Draco a run for his money! :D Thanks, again!
