People call me Loony Luna. I don't really care. It sounds interesting and
when I told my dad about it, he laughed. He didn't laugh much anymore. I
guess the only thing that made him happy was finding creatures that didn't
exist. Yes, I know, they don't exist. Yes, I know, The Quibbler is a much
of rubbish, but I have to pretend. I have to pretend not only for my dad,
but for myself, so that I have something in my life that will never change,
ever.
It always fascinated me how actors could slip on clothes and be another person. Now I do it without a second glance. I don't even mother with masks or clothes. I just go out there with a misty look and Luna Lovegood is gone. I become what everyone wants me to be, what everyone wants to see. I'm good at that, pretending so that I don't hurt other people. People change things that don't fit the mold they want them to follow. Either way I'll follow that code. It's just easier to give in on my own free will then to have to be forced into it.
I think that's why I'm Ravenclaw. I'm smart enough to figure that out. The Hat said that I'd go well in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. Slytherin was out of the question for me. Then it was silent. I guess it turned over something of my past, and put me into Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw that was the house I was put into. It was a house that would have been my family, if it didn't reject me. I try to tell myself it's because they don't know the true me. Now I know it's that they don't even care.
The sun's up and soon my roommates are going to wake up. So now I' going to go get a shower, and then I'll be ready to wipe away my tears. I'll put on the mask and I won't take it off until it's safe. I'll become, once again, Loony Luna.

Luna's my favorite character. I think it's easy to write her because I just don't think that she's all misty like in the book. I've known people like that, including myself, and they all had really different aspects that they didn't let on. That's what inspired this, that and listening to Garth Brooks "The Dance" over and over again.
