Continue Story (I copy and paste from internet) - Chapter 12 - 'LUNA, I LOVE YOU'
CHAPTER 12
Protecting your true love
As they got off their brooms, the six of them searched round the dark graveyard searching for any sign of movement. They gripped their wands tightly and lit them up. Suddenly a loud creak of metal was heard and the graveyard door swung open.
"Who's there?" Harry asked, looking around. There was no reply. "Alright, Luna, Neville and Cho take that part of the graveyard and Hermione, Ron and I will take the other part. If you find anything send red sparks up with your wand."
They moved off in the directions they were given and Neville inched closer to Luna for protection. He wouldn't let anything harm her. A low cackle was heard from somewhere near the right and the three of them swiveled round quickly.
"What was that?" Luna asked nervously, still dreamy even in a situation like that.
"I don't know," Neville replied. "But stay close otherwise it could be dangerous."
"How courageous!" A cold, high pitched voice mocked. "Just like his parents." Cho gasped, but Luna choked as she saw Voldemort, Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy and her captured father emerge from the darkness.
"Stay back!" Neville warned them, gripping his wand tighter.
"Daddy!" Luna exclaimed as she saw him struggling to stand up. "What have you done to him?" She asked Voldemort. He smirked evily and flicked his wand lazily, thick black ropes wrapping themselves around each of them. Neville managed to shout "Perriculum!" Before they disarmed him.
Minutes later Harry, Hermione and Ron came running, trying to unfree Neville, Luna and Cho but failing miserably.
"Let my daddy go, please!" Luna begged, tears running down her cheek. Voldemort, Lucius and Bellatrix cackled.
"I'm surprised you don't want to know why I took him in the first place?" Voldemort smiled horribly again and turned to Harry.
"Long time, no see Mr Potter!" Harry raised his wand and narrowed his eyes.
"What do you want with Xenophilius?" He asked.
"Well you see I was planning to steal someone for information on you Harry and who better than Mr Lovegood here? Editor of the Quibbler and someone you asked to put a headline of my returning in their magazine, no one better I'd say."
A smile curled on Bellatrix's lips as she saw her master torment the six of them.
"I pity them my Lord," she said smirking like Voldemort. "Have no backbone!"
"No backbone?" Neville spat. "Coming from a coward like you?" Her smile turned into a grimace.
"No!" Luna screamed. Suddenly, without knowing she had the strength, she broke free of her ropes and shot a spell at Bellatrix. Then spells were flying everywhere, as Neville and Cho were freed and dueling with newly arrived Deatheaters. Luna realised the power of her love for Neville gave her the strength to break free.
