The Secret Life of
Luna Lovegood
Chapter 1- Diagon Alley
Walking down Diagon Alley was a girl and her father, both wearing bright yellow robes and radishes dangling from the girl's ears. The girl had straggly dirty blonde hair, and silvery-grey dreamy looking eyes. They walked into Madame Malkins', a robe shop, to get the girl fitted for her school robes.
"What school?" Madame Malkins asked, "And what is your name?"
"Hogwarts."The girl replied ,"And my name is Luna, Luna Lovegood." Swiftly, the manager ran to the back to get her Hogwarts robes. When she came back out again, she laid the robes on a chair and started fitting Luna in the right sizes.
"Aha, a fine school indeed!"
"Really?"
"Of course, dear, the headmaster is very kind." The manager handed Luna's father the bag of robes. "You know, I had Albus. He always saw the good in every one of us and showed great care in his punishments. If it was something you could learn from, he would only tell us to not do it again. Thank you for stopping by, Xenophilius."
"You're welcome Madame Malkins, my dear Luna can't wait to get on the Hogwarts train. Well we need to go see Ollivander and get to Blourish and Blotts. We need to buy spellbooks and a wand today while were here."
"Alright Lovegoods, have a good day!"
Luna and her father exited Madame Malkins' shop and went to get spellbooks across the street at Blourish and Blotts, one of the only bookstores in the wizarding community. The interior of the shop was very dark and crowded. Every inch of the room was covered with books in varying genres. There was a balcony inside, a sort of second floor, on which a desk with a man behind it sat. Luna guessed that the man was the librarian, and he was either making a deal with a customer or chatting with a good friend. The father and daughter got in line to talk with the busy librarian so they could find the correct spellbooks for Hogwarts 1st years.
