Chapter 2! I have finally got round to writing it, and hopefully it will be longer than the last one! Please review! I need feedback!
Basically, Luna has met a person in the dormitory, who is a mysterious dark figure, and unnamed….
The path ahead was clear… just go up the staircase. Twisting and turning, all the ways up, and near the top were some mind numbing views. As far as the eye could see was a vast ocean of blue sky, occasionally scattered with a few white clouds. The sun gleamed over an aging Hogwarts, the Herbology labs glimmering under the dimming autumn sunlight. Students hurried across the courtyard silently like little mice. Luna grabbed her hair band and scraped her hair back, a few baby hairs loosely shook their way out though.
"First impressions count" she muttered to herself as she cautiously approached the common room door.
"Which came first, the phoenix, or the flame?" exclaimed the illuminated gold door handle, which was, rather oddly shaped like an eagle.
Luna was good with riddles, so she answered with confidence,
"A circle has no beginning."
The door swung open, ever so slowly. Luna saw the slowly emerging common room before her eyes. The carpet was of a deep blue and the room was circular. There was a light airy feel to the room as Luna stepped in. A few eyes turned her way, and then glanced back to what they were doing. She propped herself in a chair in the corner, and pulled out of the hand woven bag a recent copy of the Quibbler that her father had packed to keep her company. Immediately, her eyes flew to the title, which screamed, "The Writings of the Ancient Runes, Revealed!" before she was able tom turn the page, a figure appeared beside her. Her cloak was a midnight blue, slightly different to all the other students. She had dark brown hair, long, sleek, yet mysterious. Her eyes were 2 different colours, and kept changing colours.
"Don't worry about fitting in." she muttered under her breath, and dropped a pouch on her lap. It was made of fine velvet, with a delicate gold ribbon holding it together. She glanced up, but all the was left of her new found friend, was an owl, the same colour as her hair, with 2 colour changing eyes. She flew out the window, Luna following close behind.
"There's no point following it, that is, unless you jump out the window to follow it!" sniggered a voice behind her.
"Shut up!" replied a stronger, more defined voice. "Ignore her; she just doesn't like new people. She feels that you will mess up the system." A girl, of about the same age joined Luna at the window. Like Luna, she was wearing her robes, but her hair was tied up in a bun.
"Oh, it's ok. I used to get a lot of that." Sighed Luna. However much, she wanted to chat, and make friends, she couldn't stop thinking of the owl, no the girl, or whoever she was. But this new person, reminded her of someone.
"Do I know you?" she queried, a slight wobble in her voice.
"Time will tell, only time will tell." She replied, obviously teasing her. Luna gazed out of the window, thinking of her father. What would he say at this point…?
