Because misspotter94 wanted to see the Golden Trio's reaction to Luna dying. I avoided this for a long time because the idea of killing Luna is just so intimidating. And then my first draft was soooo dark that it even scared me. But, here is the final product.
Luna was the first to go.
The Golden Trio couldn't believe it. Bubbly, happy Luna? How was it possible?
If only they'd succeeded in persuading her not to go on that expedition. But she'd been bored – with Rolf gone, and the boys married, she'd been so bored. How could they have stopped her?
She'd died with a smile on her face, they'd remember. She'd died with a sense of adventure and purpose. So they'd sit and recall a darker time when Luna Lovegood had provided a happy escape from all those horrible thoughts.
And the way she'd been their friend.
I've started thinking about the 100th Chapter Celebration outline, but I haven't written anything yet because I'm actually working on two other oneshots right now and I'm so insanely busy. But that's okay. I'll get to it really soon.
I'm going to open requests at Chapter 115, if you were wondering.
