I don't own Harry Potter or anything related to it, in any way…
Author's note: Hi! I just felt like writing a Luna Lovegood fic... She's just not so much mentioned, right? But she's my fave character so ...wahoo! Enjoy... And please review! =)
"Loony!" She woke up as someone threw a book at her. So that's where it went, she thought. "You shouldn't leave your books lying around like that, you know."
Luna looked up slowly. Cho Chang were standing ahead of her, her hands on her hips. "Why are you in the fifth years' dorm?" Luna asked in her normal, dreamy way. Cho just rolled her eyes, shaking her wavy, black, shiny hair (Luna thought it was on purpose) and replied to her:
"Well, as you may know, I am Head Girl after all. I have the right to go through everyone's dorm. And – well, I found your book in the er – bathroom. You shouldn't leave it there you know."
"Okay," Luna said absent-mindedly, gritting her teeth. "It must have been the evil spirits cursing me because I got only an A on my Arithmancy homework." She stared at Cho without blinking. Cho looked at her as though she was mad. Well, - Cho mostly thought Luna was mad, everyone did. So it wasn't a crime. Cho followed the stream, so thinking Luna was sane would leave her friendless.
"Okaaay," Cho said with a 'gee-she-is-so-stupid' – look on her face. "Well, remember not to get a bad grade again, so the evil spirits won't take your books away." And with a look in disgust on Luna's Butterbeer-cork necklace and matching earrings, she walked out of the common room. Luna could hear her scream something that sounded like "Michael!". He was the ex boyfriend of her best friend Ginny – Luna doubted that she was Ginny's best friend, but Ginny was surely her best friend. She was always nice to her.
Luna got out of her bed with a yawn. She stroke her long, dirty-blond hair backwards, then she put on some earrings; they were a shrieking orange and pink colour, formed like a Yin-Yan symbol. She had got them from her father; he had got them through The Quibbler. Luna loved The Quibbler, and read it every other week, when it came out. She put on her robes with the Ravenclaw symbol on, and the butterbeer-cork necklace. To bring her luck. She made her hair into two messy braids, then rushed down to The Great Hall.
"Hello, Padma," Luna said friendly to the sixth year Ravenclaw.
"Oh, hi," Padma said awkwardly. "Woops, my classes start in a second. Gotta go, seeya later Loony. I mean Luna. Sorry." Padma didn't look that much like she was sorry. Luna noticed that she didn't walk towards the corridors, but she rushed to catch up with Michael Corner and Cho Chang the Head Girl.
"Weren't you eating?" Luna could hear Cho say. Her loud, high pitched voice were easy to hear in The Great Hall.
"I was." Luna were listening carefully; Padma had a much deeper, lower voice than Cho. "But Loony wanted to have a chat." She linked her arm into Cho's, whose arm was linked into Michael's. Cho laughed.
"Oh, Loony. Someone had apparently stolen her book some days ago – but she thought it was evil spirits!" Cho and Michael shrieked with laughter, but Padma's laughter sounded a little more forced. Cho was of course laughing loudest.
Luna sighed. She knew that people stole her stuff. But she liked people to think that she was a mindless girl, who believed in weird things. She did believe in weird things, but not that weird. But obviously, people thought she was so stupid. Or out-there. In four years, well over four years, people had been thinking that of her. And she who had thought that Padma liked her. Her eyes went over to the Gryffindor table. She liked the Gryffindors. She saw Ginny, who was chatting to Emaline Conrad, another fifth year Gryffindor. Next to her she saw Harry, and she smiled. Harry Potter. He was also nice to her. Then her eyes wandered over to Hermione Granger...
Luna did not really like Hermione Granger. She had never done, since the first time she met her. That was in her fourth year. Hermione had talked down on The Quibbler. She obviously thought that she was mad...
Next to Hermione, she saw... Ron Weasley. Ronald, Luna thought, and felt her heart speed up. She was, well – madly in love with him. He was good-looking, he was nice, and funny. Luna thought he was absolutely hilarious. She had fancied him since fourth year, also since she met him in the Hogwarts' Express. She did not intend to tell him, though, besides he was lost in his conversation with Hermione. She was lost in her thoughts (as she usually was) when someone spoke to her.
"Hi, Luna." Luna got frightened. Oh. It was just Ginny.
"Hello, Ginny," she replied. "How are you?"
"Oh, just fine, you know." Ginny glanced over at Michael Corner and Cho having a deep talk. "I broke up with Dean." She rolled her eyes.
"Oh, that is probably for your best you know," Luna said dreamily, "you could see he doesn't wash his hair properly." She stared at Ginny.
"No, actually no ...I saw him with Lavender behind the greenhouses."
"...Oh," Luna said thoughtfully. "Well, you could see he was doing that too."
Ginny started giggling. "I suppose you're right." Then she looked at Michael Corner again. And sighed. Heavily. She had a sad look on her face.
"I still like Michael," she said shortly. "I wish he didn't like his house better than me."
"If you like Michael, that's okay." Luna stared at Michael and Cho. "But I have a sneaky feeling that he fancies Cho. This might be a shock for you."
Ginny just looked at Luna as though as she was mad – but Ginny was different, because she knew that she was mad. "Thanks for telling, Luna!" she said sarcastically.
"Anytime," Luna said and took a bite of her toast. Then she poured some milk into a glass. She completely forgot that Ginny was there. Her eyes had wandered off to the Gryffindor table and at Ron. She looked at Hermione who slapped Ron's arm playfully while she was laughing. Luna sighed noticeably. Ginny followed her eyes, but didn't say anything.
"Anyways – I'm off to classes. I think we have the same class first – Potions?" said Ginny. "Are you coming?" She smiled.
"Oh yes – of course." Luna jumped off of the chair and followed some steps behind Ginny as she linked her arm into Emaline's.
