"Luna, what's wrong?"
"Hey, check out Loony Lovegood."
"Is that really Lovegood?"
The questions and whispers followed Luna down the Great Hall tables, but she ignored them all, making a beeline for her friend Ginny Weasley.
"Ginny," she called. Ginny looked up from her porridge drowsily, and then gaped.
Luna's usually disheveled hair was brushed and neatly pulled back into a ponytail. Her butterbeer cap necklace was nowhere to be seen, and she sported a tasteful pearl earring in each ear.
"Luna, you look so . . . different," Ginny said lamely.
"Thanks," Luna said. "I decided to do something crazy for once."
