Luna loved all kinds of creatures. She always had. Growing up with her father, she'd had to. In fact, if you asked her what her favourite creature was, she'd probably have said Thestrals or Nargles.
But that was a lie. For all her oddities, Luna was just like any other little girl. She loved simple pleasures. Such as watching baby birds chip their way out of the eggs that were resting in the nests around her house.
So why did she lie? That was simple.
So many people thought her odd that, by now, she was afraid to be ordinary.
