You manage to characterise Luna really well. I don't think it matters particularily whether it would happen or not- but it is really excellently written. That's what matters to me. x Smaginn

This is incredible and the emotion you've poured into the words is astounding. Love the characterization.

very good. i love how you've written her: it's so perfect for who jk rowling has told us she is. and the part about mourning for someone she didn't know... judging from the characters, i'd say it's sirius, yes? especially since, if she's turning fifteen, it would be right after the ministry.

excellent story!

Lovely, and very true of luna's character. People think she doesn't feel, isn't paying attention, but she really is.

Who is she mourning? Sirius?

A really good characterisation of Luna. She carries a lot inside, and when she deals with it, it is in her own way. Masterly written - especially those things we could only see glimpses of - where was her father? For whome did she grieve? Very good.

That uis really good! Who is she crying for?

Nicely done. I think it's a good way you have Luna dealing with grief. Quite realistic and in character.

omg, the ending came as such a shock. you write the best characterization of luna ever. it is just amazing

Hey, that was...oh my god, i cant think of how to describe it. Wonderful. Im guessing "for someone she'd never met" means "for Sirius" - hang on, no. That wont make sense. She's BECOMING 15. So who? Yeah...it's a bit odd. But i LOVE the lines:
"The world was full of people dying every day.
Every.
Day.
But still Luna stayed out in her garden until the sky dimmed from blue to scarlet to grey; till stars faded into view."
It's just...like...wow.

that was... so good i'm amaised...
will you be writing more of these, i think i'm addicted to your writing ^^
RS

Wow... That's rather depressing... Luna is like, a super good person... Poor Luna...

Honestly, I'm addicted to all your stories. This one is no exception.

Masterly, very Luna, but I was confused by the phrase "to cry for someone she'd never met". Who?

Wow, so much emotion in so few words.
