A Day In The Life of Luna Lovegood

Luna found it hard to remain focused in her work over the next few weeks. The Christmas holidays were coming and she would be heading home. Hogwarts suddenly did not look as inviting as it had before. That horrible Professor Umbridge was making all their DADA classes a nightmare. The only thing that Luna really had to look forward to was the DA- a secret group in which Harry Potter taught them defensive jinxes and counter-curses that could certainly come in very useful now that You-Know-Who was back. For Luna, unlike most people, believed that he was back. Her dad had always said that it was only a matter of time before You-Know-Who returned to power. And that time had come…

Luna had a very enjoyable Christmas break; she received a Nargle-detector from her dad and a cute little bracelet from Ginny Weasley. Luna liked Ginny, she was the only person in her year that really made an effort to be nice to Luna, and she wasn't even in Luna's house. It was almost like having a real friend.

Luna headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast one morning after Christmas and found herself in a very tense atmosphere. She headed to the Ravenclaw table, where many people were grouped around the Daily Prophet. She looked at the headline, " MASS BREAKOUT FROM AZKABAN". Underneath the headline were ten black-and-white pictures of Death Eaters that had escaped. She glanced over at the Gryffindor table- people had to believe Harry now. Luna saw worried faces all around her; many people had relatives that had been killed by these Death Eaters. They were probably wondering now who'd be next, Luna thought, or whether it was their turn now…
