Blue was the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes. It was the blue of a cloudless Summer sky, the blue of spending the day swimming in the creek outside her home. Those Summer days had come crashing to end finally. Now, as she got out of bed, she could feel a hint of crispness in the air, could feel just that slightest chill. A large calendar hanging on the wall marked the passing days. She had flipped the months last night since today was the first. She scrambled from bed, not wanting to be late. She'd always been an early riser, but today she was up even before she heard the roosters crowing nearby.
She'd packed her trunk last night, trying to make sure she'd packed everything. She had her clothes, her books, a photograph of her and her parents. Sometimes it made her sad to look at it, since her Mum was gone. She couldn't leave it behind though. She grabbed her back containing her sketchbook, something to read on the train, and a few other random items she'd gathered. She'd set her clothing out the night before as well. She dressed and headed down to breakfast. A bowl of apples sat on the table, the first of the season. She grabbed one and took a bite letting the sweet juice run down her chin. It would bring her sweet thoughts during the trip.
"Ready, Luna?"
"Yes, Dad, I've got everything I think I need. If not, I can use a school owl and write home," she answered as they left the house. She smiled looking over her shoulder. The sky surrounding them was blue, the same sky blue as the ceiling of her bedroom. She took that as a sign that this year, her first year at Hogwarts, was going to be brilliant.
