I feel worthless. What is my purpose here? Am I just someone sent here to
be ridiculed?
Well it certainly seems so. Even the famous Harry Potter feels that way. The only reason I joined the DA was to learn skills that could help me help other people. That's all. I just wanted to be prepared for what awaited me after Hogwarts. I didn't go there to "be with the crowd". I guess I sort of expected the sniggers that accompanied my arrival to the DA meetings. I expected them when I first came here. I expected the taunts and laughter that greeted me whenever I opened my mouth to express my opinion. I expected the pranks, the vandalism and the plain rudeness just I didn't expect a noble Gryffindor to feel like I was a joke. I especially didn't expect it from the famous Harry Potter. I could see it in his green eyes, the urge to laugh but I suppose Cho wouldn't feel too highly about him laughing at one of her fellow Ravenclaws.
At least Ginny's nice to me, but I have a feeling that she doesn't take me seriously, just like all the others. I bet the sight of my face is enough for her to giggle like a, well, school girl.
I thought being part of the DA would help me earn some respect among certain people, I was wrong.
I even put my life at risk to try and save a person that Potter had dreamt was in trouble. Who's the insane one now?
I shouldn't be too critical of Harry. I guess not having any parents has gone to his head. I know the feeling.
I tried to block out my father's voice as he knelt down to me, took my hand and spoke those terrible words. I tried to wish it all away but he still said it.
"I'm sorry Luna, she's dead."
I found a place in my head where that wasn't true. Mum was alive and she lived happily with Dad. Everything was so peaceful there so I spend most of my time lost in my fantasy land. I know one day I have to wake up to reality, just not today.
