Summary: Luna dozes off during Divination. Written for Inkfire's "Rewrite" fic challenge. Based on the children's book "When Cats Dream" by Dav Pilkey.

A/N: Challenge #49 on xoxLewrahxox's Bellatrix Lestrange: The Dark Lord's Most Faithful forum.

Inkfire's "Rewrite" challenge: Your challenge theme for the next two weeks will be: rewriting! I want you to pick a specific element or a storyline from either a myth, a tale or any piece of literary work, and use it within a Harry Potter story. You may find inspiration within Catherine's "Literary and Historical Connections in Harry Potter" thread, but also do something utterly different that had nothing to do with JKR's universe to begin with! Word count must be a multiple of 100. Set the Muses loose, people! ;)

I was going through the bookshelf in my living room and came across the children's book When Cats Dream by Dav Pilkey. It captured my interest because I couldn't remember reading it as a kid. I read the book through and instantly fell in love with it because the story had such an ethereal feel to it. Since I had been looking in that bookshelf for a story I could rewrite, I thought, why not change it a bit and make it Luna Lovegood? I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Chapter One is exactly 200 words.

Chapter One

When Luna was awake, the entire world was the same.

There were always the same cold stone corridors to wander. There was always a pair of shoes absent from her feet. And there was always a lonely table by the window to sit at in class.

She gazed sadly at the deep red curtains covering the windows in the classroom, wishing for them to be open, not paying any mind to Professor Trelawney's inaccurate ramblings about the different herbs and spices to use in tea leaf reading. Her head felt fuzzy and vaguely made a note to make a new Butterbeer cork necklace to keep the Wrackspurts out better; they were currently encouraging sleep to come.

Resting her chin upon one hand with a small sigh, she let her heavy eyes close.

She reopened them a few seconds later. Everything had begun to change. The red drapes covering the lamps became a feathery blue, and the curtains pushed open the concealed windows to let the breeze take the heavy fabric far away.

The world was growing much deeper in her eyes and all the noises from the other students were muted.

She smiled.

Nothing was the same when Luna dreamt.

A/N: So what do you think so far? I'll be posting a chapter every other day for the next couple of weeks.
