Wow, again, my reviews. I love you all.

About the requests, since Bellatrix, Wormtail and Dumbledore were the most asked for, they'll be done soon. All the rest have been taken on board, so just keep waiting, k?

So, I put off doing Luna for a while, because I wasn't sure I'd be able to do her properly. As much as I love her, she's very unique, and I think I've ended up doing a too serious one here. But I guess she can have some seriousness, and I actually like how it came out.

38. Luna

1. She doesn't have lots of memories with her mother in them, but she remembers her. She remembers how soft her hair was, how smooth her skin was, how she'd hug Luna all the time, without any reason. She remembers her smile, her voice, her scent, her laugh.

2. She remembers, also, her mother's death. How could she ever forget it? She remembers how her mum was smiling, and talking to her. And then, then she was lain on the floor, too still, her eyes closed. And Luna knew, she knew she was dead, and she just started screaming, screaming until someone heard, someone came in, someone held her and told her it was OK, it was all OK.

How, though, Luna remembers thinking, could it be OK? Her mum was dead.

3. She wasn't scared of going to Hogwarts. Her mum had always told her what a great place it was, and she was looking forward to it. That's why it hurt so much – she was good at hiding it, but it hurt – when she didn't make friends, when people looked at her like that, when people said stuff about her.

They said she was crazy. She wasn't. But she had to believe there was more, more to the world, because otherwise the world was a difficult place to be in.

4. She was rather protective of her father. Because she saw something vulnerable in him, and because she'd lost her mum. Because they'd lost her mum. He'd never been the same since then.

That was why, though she was angry when she found out that he had tried to give Harry, Ron and Hermione to the Death Eaters, she understood. Because she really was all he had in the world, and how could she possibly stay mad at him for loving her so much, for wanting her safe?

5. Ginny was the first person she ever counted as a friend. She'd been thinking for a while that maybe they were, maybe this counted, but she wasn't sure. And then Ginny introduced to her someone – Luna doesn't even remember who – as "my friend Luna" at the end of their fifth year.

It was the nicest feeling she'd had in a long while, and Luna would never forget it. And when Ginny told her what Lily's middle name was, she almost cried. She must, then, be important to both Ginny and Harry, for them to do that for her.

If she had a daughter, her middle names would be Ginny and Hermione. She alwas kind of wished for another child, a little girl, just to honour them.

6. Neville was the second person. This, too, was at the end of her fifth year, at Dumbledore's funeral when she was helping him into a chair. He smiled through his pain, and told her she was a great friend. To be called not only a friend, but a great one, gave her a burst of happiness for weeks.

And while, later, she'd understand and Harry, Ron and Hermione all counted her as their friends, Ginny and Neville would always be the most important, and the most special, to her. Because they were the first.

7. Being locked in the Malfoys's cellar was the worst time of her life, and the reason she never forgave Draco, and the reason she watched Scorpius Malfoy very closely at the beginning of his and Lily's relationship. Because she knew her dad and her friends would be worried, because she knew she was no help to the cause while locked away, because she knew that she could be murdered anytime, and she didn't want to die.

Ollivander, and then Dean, helped her through it, but getting out was like breathing again.

8. She got on very well with Fleur, and even years afterwards they've remained friends. Because the woman was so nice to her, because she let her into her home and let she'd talk to her, whenever Luna looked upset.

Sometimes, she wonders if she'd have any friends, if not for the war, and she wonders if fate can really be that twisted.

9. She may have gathered friends, but Rolf was the only person who ever understood her completely. She knew, when he listened to her talk about Nargles and all the rest, when he looked at her seriously and said "You just might be right – I'm sure I've felt them around..." that he was the one.

10. Her boys are her life. When she argued with Lysander about the need for the war, she knew she wouldn't do it now, wouldn't fight now. Because she wouldn't risk losing them. Because she wouldn't let them lose their mum like she lost hers.

And that, sometimes, shames her a little, because she'd never considered not fighting at the time.
