Luna
Luna hadn’t thought she was different before. Until she went to Hogwarts she thought she was perfectly average.
She still isn't sure she wasn't average, all things considered.
And yet people called her Loony. Stole her things and broke her belongings.
She decided at that moment she never wanted to be ‘ordinary’ if it meant becoming like those who bullied her. She pitied them, needing to go so far to feel good about themselves.
This didn’t stop her from crying herself to sleep some days. She still wanted friends. Wanted to be loved by someone. She wouldn’t let it show, however.
She would be brave, and dignified, and absolutely anything but ordinary.
She would be as weird as she could, until even she thought herself odd, and she would be proud, no matter what anyone else thought.
She would be herself, and it would have to be enough.
