Because They're A Bit Different

Hello, I'm Luna Lovegood, a 7th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and a member of Ravenclaw house. I may be a little different, but don't be scared. Would you like a Quibbler? It's quite interesting. A member of The Wars End

So why don’t you join a club? Or start one? There’s bound to be something interesting around here.

[lunaxrabidus]

That sounds like a good idea. I liked being in a club before, they were like friends. 

[zealous-rose-archive]

Normal as compared to what you’ve had to deal with, then. Mine’s been restless, but that’s my own fault. I have to get involved in everything around here. I can’t sit still. Being idle is a bit bothersome for me.

[lunaxrabidus]

Well at least you always have something going on when you're involved in so much. I've found simply drifting between things to be quite dull.

Finally Returned || Luna + Draco

[gamma--draconis-archive-blog]

"I haven’t seen you around— Did you return late from the holidays?"

Trusting that she wouldn’t be too suspicious of his change in nature, Draco smiled at Luna pleasantly. It was surprisingly easy despite their past and his personal feelings towards her— If he wanted to succeed, he needed to learn to charm the people around him again. 

Draco wanted his voice to be heard; was there any better way than to befriend a - however questionable - journalist’s daughter?

[lunaxrabidus]

Although Luna found it unusual for the other to be treating her so pleasantly, especially after the distaste he'd shown just a few months prior, she much preferred this attitude. That being said, the girl did not entirely trust this side of him, though she was intent to give him a chance at the very least. 

Nodding her head a little, grey eyes drifted away from Draco's face, somewhat unsure about how he was going to react to what she was about to say. "Dad and I got a little lost in Sweden after the chaos back here." She hopped he wouldn't question why they had ventured out to Sweden over the holidays.

Hopefully the year will take it’s time. So, how has your year been? I can’t imagine it’s easy readjusting to having a, erm, normal education now.

[lunaxrabidus]

-Lets out a halfhearted laugh before she speaks- I'm not sure this could be considered "normal" again yet. But it's been kind of nice to see people again. How has yours been? 

[zealous-rose-archive]

If it even does. Who knows what people can do with that much desire.

[lunaxrabidus]

I'm sure it'll pass on the most part, at least until next year. 

[zealous-rose-archive]

It is. But it’s not as if one can shake all of those who take false love and change their minds. They want what they want.

[lunaxrabidus]

You're right about that. I suppose there's nothing that can be done other than to wait for it all to pass. 

[zealous-rose-archive]

Unfortunately that’s a sad reality, people take what they can get, even if it’s false or comes from a cauldron.

[lunaxrabidus]

To some people false love is better than nothing at all, which is quite sad actually... 

[zealous-rose-archive]

 See? The world would be better if people heard that more than once or got hugged enough or something. -nods- Yeah, I’ve heard the same thing. Something about strong obsessions forming instead of proper love. Of course, that can’t be messed with.

[lunaxrabidus]

You'd think people would learn that sooner or later but apparently not. Most people thrive on some kind of love, so there's no reason for such absurd limitations. 

[zealous-rose-archive]

Most males run out to get flowers and stuff on the day to cover expectations. Not only that but it’s promoted as a day to be over-the-top when declaring feelings for someone else when, I think, that shouldn’t all be contained to one day. People should tell other people how they fell all the time ‘cause, well, how else are they going to know -shakes head- That too, which is why I avoid food that is given to me. …Not that I have to worry about it in particular but you get my point.

[lunaxrabidus]

I guess you're right about that. The meaning would be quite lacking if you only showed someone you love them on a single day. And I've heard of things going rather disastrous when those making the potions lack the...correct skill.

[zealous-rose-archive]

No, it’s a holiday to make money based off guilt. Who wants to celebrate that?

[lunaxrabidus]

I've...never heard it described quite like that before. Though the use of love potions at this time does get quite frivolous. 

[zealous-rose-archive]

Apparently. Valentine’s day is right around the corner. Save yourself while you can!

[lunaxrabidus]

Save myself? Do you not like Valentine's day?

[zealous-rose-archive]

Oh no. The heart-shaped stuff is coming in already!

Good thing there’s a meteor shower tonight.

[lunaxrabidus]

Heart-shaped stuff? Was I really gone that long...? 

[lunaxrabidus]

Finally Returned || Luna + Draco

[gamma--draconis-archive-blog]

Trying to come up with a real plan was proving to be more difficult than Draco had originally anticipated. There wasn’t much he could do from inside Hogwarts, especially if he wanted his actions to matter. He had taken to wandering across the corridors, hoping for… something.

That was when something caught his eyes. A familiar hair of blonde hair wasn’t quite the thing Draco had expected, but he could go with it. An uncertain but hopeful smirk tugged at his lips. Lovegood was… odd, but she could have her uses if he was able to persuade her.

"Hey, Lovegood."

[lunaxrabidus]

At the call of her name, Luna's thoughts were pulled away from her initial train of thought and the words spoken to herself came to an abrupt close. After so much time with her thoughts, once again, the opportunity to interact with another was something she treasured. Even if Draco was not one of the ideal companions she had initially sought after. 

Although it has struck her as odd to have the blonde addressing her all of a sudden, she shot her usual smile whilst giving her response. "Hello, Draco Malfoy." 

[lunaxrabidus]

Finally Returned || Open

"Now I see how some wizards manage to vanish from the face of the earth for months at a time. I must have missed a lot, though it is quite delightful to see these castle walls again." With a small pleased sigh, the blonde ran her fingertips along the cold stone of the halls. Although Luna was pleased to be back, she yearned for the company of her friends again. 

[lunaxrabidus]

Light Headed || Open

"I-I'm feeling a little faint..." The blonde muttered quietly to herself, stumbling slightly to the side and catching herself against the stone wall. 

[thegoldraven]

So much for people.

[thegoldraven]

Yeah, I’m fine. I’m probably being overdramatic, but I’ve just been a bit of an idiot.

[lunaxrabidus]

If you think you've been an idiot then do something to fix it? Hiding from everyone won't help the situation. 

[thegoldraven]

So much for people.

[thegoldraven]

-shrugs- I’m not so sure about that. Thanks though, Luna.

[lunaxrabidus]

-Begins to frown, feeling a little concerned by his words- Are you okay?
