Lucius: (smirks looking over at Rita the next night).
Rita: (laying only covered by a sheet). I am so stupid!
Lucius: No you're not. (takes her hand and kisses her fingers).
Rita: I just can't get you out of my system.
Lucius: (smiles and holds her close) Maybe because you don't want to.
Rita: (sighs and looks into his eyes).
Lucius: Just stay here.
Rita: I need to go home Luna will be home any minute.
Lucius: So?
Rita: So I am her guardian she counts on me.

Luna: (back at Hogwarts after the summer).
Umbridge: (walks past her with a careful eye before walking into her office).
Luna: (sighs and looks around).
Hermione: (walks over and beams brightly) Have a good summer?
Luna: Yeah. It was really quite good. Though I know you don't like Rita Skeeter very much do you.
Hermione: That's true. But she is your guardian isn't she.
Luna: Yes. Anyway have you done your potions homework?
Hermione: Of course. Why? Are you having trouble with yours?
Luna: Just alittle. Can you help me?
Hermione: Which part are you stuck on?
Luna: The bit about moonstone.
Hermione: Oh yes. I can help you with that. No problem.
Luna: (smiles and sits on a bench. Takes a bag of jelly beans from her coat pocket). Want one?
Hermione: Only if they are not the disgusting ones. I got so many that made me want to gag.
Luna: These are safe. Trust me. I don't like the other flavours either.
Hermione: (takes a few red beans and smiles).
Rita: (walks over to them slowly). Sorry to interupt. I just thought I should bring this down for you (hands her a large ancient book). You left it at home.
Luna: Oh (looks at it and smiles). Thank you. But you didn't have to go to all that bother.
Rita: Yes I did (smiles and looks at Hermione). Good morning.
Hermione: Morning.
Rita: I have to get home now. If you need me you know where I am. And don't forget to write (kisses Luna's head and walks off down the corridors).
Luna: (looks at the book on her lap). Where were we?
Severus: Rita (cuts her off in the hall). I know what you did. And I am not angry. I know it was Malfoy who made you say those stupid vows. Now whoever you choose is fine with me. I just want you to be happy.
Rita: I picked you. (pauses) But right now I have a job to do.
Severus: The news can wait dam it!
Rita: I have to look after Luna. She may be at school but I have to be there for her.
Severus: What about us?
Rita: I will see you tomorrow. We will talk. Ok (walks off past him).

Luna: (the next day sitting in class. Looks up slowly from her desk). Sir? (walks over and puts her book on the table). I need to return this. I erm...got it from the restricted section.
Snape: Oh...and how did you get it?
Luna: By going there. (lowers her head).
Snape: (sighs and says nothing). What are you waiting for! Out of my sight.
Luna: Yes Sir (walks to her desk grabs her blue shoulder bag and walks out).
Snape: (shakes his head and frowns).
Albus: Miss Skeeter (looks up at Rita smiling).
Rita: Hello.
Albus: How are things at home?
Rita: You mean with Luna? Oh they are just fine.
Albus: Good good. (looks over at Luna). I think you should take her home.
Rita: (looks at him holding her keys in her hand). Isn't there about two days of school left before the break?
Albus: Yes. But she needs to go home. It is obvious.
Rita: Well if you honestly think so. (walks over to Luna) Come on we have direct orders to go home.
Luna: By who?
Rita: (glances over at Albus). Come on (takes Luna's hand and walks outside to her green beatle car).

Luna: (sitting in the car as Rita drives them home).
Rita: How was school?
Luna: Good. I suppose.
Rita: I missed you at home you know. It has been very quiet without you.
Luna: Really?
Rita: Really really (makes a left turn).
Luna: That's sweet (smiles happily).
Rita: Why does everyone start suddenly calling me that! (rolls her eyes and smiles).
Luna: How are things with Severus?
Rita: Good. He is happy. So am I. Though we are keeping it low key at the moment.
Luna: Suppose that is wise.
Rita: Yes it is. For now.

Luna: You know I looked at something the other day. A picture. You and me look so alike when you were younger.
Rita: (nervously nods) A little maybe but not a whole lot. Why did you bring that up anyway? Many people look alike.
Luna: It is just well...then I found another photo. Of you holding a baby in your arms. Whose baby was that?
Rita: Oh just a friends, she wanted to take a photo cause she thought we looked sweet together.
Luna: Oh...
Rita: Luna is there something you're trying to get at here?
Luna: No!
Rita: Because it seems like you think I am your mother or something (looks at the road carefully).
Luna: Well are you?
Rita: (swurves and looks down as she holts the car).

Luna: Yes or no it's very simple Rita.
Rita: Why would you even think that, it is crazy.
Luna: Just tell me the truth.
Rita: Fine. (sighs and looks at her) The reason I was close to your parents is because I let them look after you and adopt you. Happy now?
Luna: (lowers her head) All this time.
Rita: Yes.
Luna: And you never told me.
Rita: I couldn't tell you. It would have been too much of a risk.
Luna: For who? Me or you 'Mum'.
Rita: Both of us! (lets her hands gently glide over the wheel).

Luna: Yeah right, you probably thought oh well I wont bother telling her cause she seems happy.
Rita: You were happy so stop making this harder for me!
Luna: Harder for you, what about me...
Rita: I don't want you to treat me any differently.
Luna: Bit late for that isn't it.
Rita: It is never too late.
Luna: (shrugs) Whatever!

Rita: Luna you know you are just acting out to get at me...and I want it to bloody well stop this minute!
Luna: You can'y suddenly turn up and tell me what to do.
Rita: Oh I can and I will. Now stop being stubborn.
Luna: Me! You can talk.
Rita: Luna I just want us to be ok. You know get closer and eventually be a family again.
Luna: What do you mean again mum! We were never a family in the first place.
Rita: I know (sighs and looks at the road carefully as she pulls up infront of her house). Here we are.
Luna: Home sweet home (mutters and gets out of the car).
Rita: Come on then...(walks to the door and unlocks it walking slowly inside).
Luna: (walks in and casually slumps down onto the green sofa).
Rita: Want something to eat? (standsing infront of her twirling her keys around her finger).
Luna: No!
Rita: You can't live on just the air in your lungs love...you need food to.
Luna: Whatever. Go see your boyfriend!
Rita: (slams down her keys and walks to the kitchen getting out a bottle of red wine pouring herself a glass).

Luna: Thats it just drink yourself into a pit!
Rita: It is one glass you silly girl (sips it and slowly turns round with a piercing gaze).
Luna: Yeah well I know what you are like 'Mum'.
Rita: If you don't like it you know what you can do! (shrugs and downs the glass).
Luna: I have nowhere else to go.
Rita: Looks like you're stuck here then doesn't it! Sweetheart (hisses).

Luna: You haven't told me who my father is.
Rita: So...
Luna: So I have the right to know.
Rita: Don't make me go through all the details Luna. I am not in the mood right now.
Luna: Tough!
Rita: Look it doesn't matter who he is.
Luna: Yes it does. Now tell me.
Rita: (ignores her).
Luna: (sighs and gets up searching through a bunch of papers on Rita's desk).

Rita: What are you doing!
Luna: What does it look like.
Rita: Put those down!
Luna: (puts a whole pile of papers on the floor).
Rita: Luna! Stop that this instant!
Luna: Not till I know.
Rita: Well you wont know, because it isn't in there.
Luna: (looks up and then continues searching).
Rita: (grabs Luna's wrist and pulls her to her feet). You want to know who he was...who he is?
Luna: (sadly) Yes...I do.
Rita: He is...
