Walking

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Luna was walking. She did this often, as did every one around her, though this time it was different, she was walking in circles. In circles around a bench, that's right a bench. If anyone didn't know Luna they might question what she was doing. But seeing as the whole school knew Luna was a bit… odd, they didn't question the random odd act. Well they wondered they just didn't ask for fear of being seen talking to Luna. You see Luna was a bit of an oddity, every one knew her as odd. That was just the way things were. No one wanted to change it, least of all Luna. She likes the way things are, no one talking to her bothering her with stupid questions.

Today was a different story though, today she wanted someone to ask her, to talk to her, today was an odd day. Luna didn't want anyone to talk to her because she was lonely; no she wanted someone to talk to her for her own amusement. So she could laugh at them when they asked her what in the name of Merlin she was doing.

And just as she'd hoped some dimwitted people approached her, those dimwitted people were of the Slytherin house (okay most students in the Slytherin house are dimwitted but that's not the point) a few girls and boys. Luna noticed from the start that they were walking funny. They were walking behind the tall blonde, as if he was their leader. Behind that tall blonde there were two girls, one that resembled a pug, and the other a troll. And behind the girls were two boys that also resembled trolls; maybe that's a Slytherin trait?

The tall blonde spoke first; he spoke with a permanent sneer plastered on his face. "What are you doing now? A mating ritual? Waiting by the pond for that special someone?"

The group behind him laughed. Luna also laughed. "No I'm not performing any ritual, that's later, works better at night -" Luna laugh internally at the look on their faces "- anyway I'm just doing everyone a favor."

The girl that looked like a pug spoke next, confusion haunting every word. "Well then what exactly are you doing?"

"I'm making the earth turn. Someone's got to do it." Luna said calmly, watching their faces.

This time it was the troll girl who said something. "It makes sense."

Luna didn't speak, she was afraid if she tried to say something; anything all that would come out would be laughter.

The tall blonde, looked at the people around him. "Are you serious? You actually believe this… this… this…" He made various hand gestures towards Luna.

The group walked away, as soon as they were out of ear shot Luna, burst into uncontrollable laughter.
