Let me bring out the receipts for this idiot who clearly didn’t bother reading the books before writing this shitty confession.
This girl had no friends for years. She was an outcast, people picked on her just for being herself, but she was strong emotionally, kept to her beliefs and didn’t let people get her down for it. She waited to find real friends, and real friends did come.
Secondly, don’t you dare try and shit on Ginny or the trio by making them out like they don’t cherish Luna and are only “friends” with her out of pity.
You must have forgotten that this “charity case” was so beloved by Harry and Ginny, that they named their own daughter after her. Lily Luna ring any bells?
But sure, she’s “100% the charity case.”
Ginny stepped in to stop people trying to bully Luna.
“Oh, it’s been all right,” said Luna. “A bit lonely without the D.A. Ginny’s been nice, though. She stopped two boys in our Transfiguration class calling me ‘Loony’ the other day —”
She was Luna’s first friend. Yes, Ginny thought she was different, but she still treated her like a person, and the more she got to know her personally, the more Ginny grew closer to her, and Luna frequently referred to Ginny as being a good friend and a nice girl.
Luna means a hell of a lot to them all. She was one of the few people who followed them without question to help Harry find Sirius, and was one of the co-leaders of the DA while the trio were on their mission, helping to try and get the sword to them all and teaching students to fight. She’s an amazing friend and person and they all know it.
Ron admired Luna,and was genuinely entertained by Luna’s commentary at the Quidditch match, and he openly acknowledged that while Luna was “insane”, that it was in a good way, and she’s grown on him.
“Nice commentary last match!” said Ron to Luna as she took back the green onion, the toadstool, and the cat litter.
Luna smiled vaguely. “You’re making fun of me, aren’t you?” she said. “Everyone says I was dreadful.”
“No, I’m serious!” said Ron earnestly. “I can’t remember enjoying commentary more! What is this, by the way?” he added, holding the onionlike object up to eye level.
“Oh, it’s a Gurdyroot,” she said, stuffing the cat litter and the toadstool back into her bag. “You can keep it if you like, I’ve got a few of them. They’re really excellent for warding off Gulping Plimpies.”
And she walked away, leaving Ron chortling, still clutching the Gurdyroot. “You know, she’s grown on me, Luna,” he said, as they set off again for the Great Hall. “I know she’s insane, but it’s in a good —”
“I like this song,” said Luna, swaying in time to the waltzlike tune, and a few seconds later she stood up and glided onto the dance floor, where she revolved on the spot, quite alone, eyes closed and waving her arms.
“She’s great, isn’t she?” said Ron admiringly. “Always good value.”
Hermione may not have gotten along with Luna in the beginning, but she genuinely cared for her later on, especially after Luna went out of her way to comfort Hermione during her fight with Ron, Hermione is also fond of Luna and also showed great concern for Luna’s safety.
She [Hermione] raced out of the classroom on the bell, leaving half her things behind; Harry, deciding that her need was greater than Ron’s just now, scooped up her remaining possessions and followed her.
He finally tracked her down as she emerged from a girls’ bathroom on the floor below. She was accompanied by Luna Lovegood, who was patting her vaguely on the back. “
“Well, if they’re telling the truth and she’s still alive —” began Ron.
“Don’t say that, don’t say it!” squealed Hermione. “She must be alive, she must!” “
“Then she’ll be in Azkaban, I expect,” said Ron. “Whether she survives the place, though … Loads don’t… .”
She will,” said Harry. He could not bear to contemplate the alternative. “She’s tough, Luna, much tougher than you’d think. She’s probably teaching all the inmates about Wrackspurts and Nargles.”
“I hope you’re right,” said Hermione. She passed a hand over her eyes.
Harry, who valued friendship and loyalty and understood Luna arguably the most out of everyone in her group of friends, was very heartened by Luna’s pictures, because it showed just how much she valued them as friends and how much she loved them. There are many more interactions for Harry and Luna that prove Harry more than just “somewhat” considered her a friend. After she proved her loyalty, Harry openly acknowledged her as a friend, someone cool, and treated Romilda and her crew coldly for how they acted toward Luna.
“They’re friends of mine,” said Harry coldly.
“Oh,” said the girl, looking very surprised. “Oh. Okay.” And she withdrew, sliding the door closed behind her.
“People expect you to have cooler friends than us,” said Luna, once again displaying her knack for embarrassing honesty.
“You are cool,” said Harry shortly. “None of them was at the Ministry. They didn’t fight with me.”
Luna’s pictures were beautiful and made me feel warm inside, and same with Harry, who felt a great rush of affection for Luna for these pictures, and I know the others would feel the same.
Luna had decorated her bedroom ceiling with five beautifully painted faces: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville. They were not moving as the portraits at Hogwarts moved, but there was a certain magic about them all the same: Harry thought they breathed. What appeared to be fine golden chains wove around the pictures, linking them together, but after examining them for a minute or so, Harry realized that the chains were actually one word, repeated a thousand times in golden ink: friends … friends … friends …
Harry felt a great rush of affection for Luna.
You must have no heart at all to think Luna’s just some pathetic charity case, and you have zero understanding of truly valuing the few folks who stand by you in your life.
You better leave my girl alone, I have had it with this anti Luna shit.
