I like Luna. She is a fascinating person, who sees life a bit differently. I think her view is way more fun. I also think she is the perfect person to show Hermione that life is not black and white. And that sometimes it is ok to just believe.
The Eccentricity of Love
People have always said that I was a little crazy. That's why people call me Looney Lovegood. It doesn't hurt my feelings, though, because I know that I'm not crazy. I just see the world differently from most people and that's ok. I actually sort of feel sorry for everyone, because they miss out on some of the most wonderful things that the magical world has to offer. All they have to do is open their eyes. It's right there. The truth is I'm quite brilliant, and more importantly, I'm happy. That's more than can be said for a lot of people. I may not have a lot of friends due to my..err…eccentricity, if you will, but I am at peace. I find happiness in the things that most people refuse to believe in, such as the crumple-horned snorkaks and wrackspurt. I find such creatures to be beautiful because they are so rare that very few people believe in them.
I am not crazy….Well, perhaps I am. I mean what sane person would go and fall in love with her.
I can't explain when this happened or why, but all I know is that I am in love with Hermione Granger. I am in love with the one person who without a shred of doubt thinks I am an imbecile. I must be aching for put-downs to have fallen in love with the likes of her. I never really cared about what other people thought of me, but I care what she thinks. It hurts when I see her roll her eyes after I mention something that my daddy wrote in the Quibbler. It irks me that she is so set in her way of thinking and living that she won't even consider anything else for even a second. While she is brilliant, she is also rather ignorant. Some of the most amazing things that life has to offer cannot be explained. Shouldn't be explained. But she won't accept anything without solid proof first. Seems like a sad way to live…. However, despite all this, I love her.
I love the way she twirls her hair while reading. I love the way she nibbles on her bottom lip while deep in thought. I love the way her eyes light up when she figures something out…
I wish she would just once look at me like an equal….
Hermione sat in a dusty corner in Flourish & Blotts, thumping through a thick book. Her eyes heatedly scanned the pages as if her life depended on it. Maybe it did. One never really knows with Hermione Jane Granger. She was so immersed in her reading that she did not hear the approaching footsteps. "Hello, Hermione," a waspy voice whispered. Looking up, Hermione saw Luna Lovegood decked out in one of her usual ridiculous outfits. "Hi, Luna," she replied curtly.
"What are you reading"
"The newest edition of Hogwarts:A History"
" I see…well, it was nice seeing you…."
Shoving her nose back in the text book, Hermione said, "uhuh."
If it wasn't for a book falling to the floor she would never have caught the hurt in Luna's eyes.
Paling, Hermione watched Luna walk away, her long blonde hair cascading down her shoulders in beautiful curls. 'When did she start curling her hair?' she wondered. Shaking her head, Hermione asked herself, " and why did she look so hurt….?
Stepping out into the cool wind, Luna wound her black scarf around her neck and took a deep breathe. "Dammit," she cursed. Biting her lip, Luna strolled through Hogsmeade and decided to pay George Weasley a visit. After all, you can always count on the red headed prankster to cheer you up and that is exactly what Luna needed at the moment.
So, what do you guys think? like? hate? tell me! Review!
