Hurt Again

Luna Lovegood was a girl who was always bullied by her classmates. No one understood her and no one wanted to. Anyone could make out why.

Luna in her own way was very peculiar. She had long dirty blond hair and large silver eyes. She always wore a butter cap necklace and radish earrings. She wore odd colored clothes and she didn't carry her wand in her pocket like other normal people but she carried it behind her ear.

But it wasn't only her appearance that was peculiar. Luna believed in strange things many of which came from her father's magazine 'The Quibbler'. This was why many people teased her.

Butwhen ever anyone was mean to her she just smiled and walked away like it was nothing. But inside she always felt sad. She felt like crying when people took her things or when they did anything bad to her.

But she never showed it. She would never show anyone how she truly felt. Never would she let anyone have the satisfaction of seeing her hurt. She would always wait till she was alone and then let the tears flow.

So when she heard that Harry Potter was going out with her best friend Ginny Weasley she just smiled and congratulated them but when she reached her dorm room she locked herself in the bathroom and let the tears falls.

The question "Why is she crying?" will run through the heads of all the dim witted people (no offence) but the smart people will already know why she was crying.

The reason was that Luna Lovegood loved Harry Potter. A lot. She had started loving him since she set eyes on him the first time on the train. He had walked in with Ginny and Neville Longbottom.

She had observed him for the full journey towards Hogwarts. She had seen through him and saw the lost boy who was an orphan, who was treated badly by his relatives, who had the weight of the whole wizarding world on his shoulders.

She had seen more things that no one else had ever seen, not even his best friends. She had been jealous of Cho Chang when she was going out with Harry. Wasn't it she who was there to comfort him at the end of fifth year after his godfather had died?

It was. And what did she get in return. Nothing. She had been happy when on the train at the beginning of the year he had said she was his friend. It had made her fantasize of what would happen if they became more than friends.

She knew that it was foolish of thinking such stupid thing. I mean he was Harry Potter 'The Boy Who Lived' and she was just Luna Loony Lovegood the girl who day dreamed a lot and believed in stupid things.

He would never like her. And yet she fantasized about him everyday. And she had thought that her fantasies were coming true when he asked to Slughorn's party. She was so happy she had actually decided t make an effort to look pretty. She had thought that he liked her.

But how wrong she had been.

She had realized in a very painful way just how wrong she was. He didn't like her. He had just used her as a substitute because Ginny had already been taken.

He had always liked Ginny. Never Luna. It had always been Ginny. And now as Luna cried, she didn't only cry because she had lost Harry but also because she had lost her mother.

For the first time she felt alone. For the first time she felt the loss of not having any friends. She had never really cared before. But he had pulled her harshly back to reality. The first she had been hurt was when her mother had died. And this was the second.

And as Luna picked herself from the floor she made a vow to herself to never be hurt again.
