I-I-I can barely bring myself to write in my journal tonight. Oh what is happening? Luna? I'm so sorry. I-I am sorry I didn't respond earlier. I couldn't write what my heart felt. This is such a major disappointment. I've been crying since I have seen your post. It just isn't fair.
What will we do? Separating us like that is... is... is complete madness. I still can't say the things I really want. Luna, my heart hurts. I feel like someone has cut a vital organ away from me. Not seeing you every day during holidays- I can't, I wont think about it. There must be a way to fix this!
Meet me tomorrow? By the Lake? We need to plan for the worst to come.
Well, it won't help for us to both be crying. If you drip on your parchments too much you'll have to do your essays all over again like I do.
I wish we were in the same House at least. Celia and Portia are very nice, but it just isn't the same.
Yes, please, I'd like to meet. The Lake is a good idea. I'd rather not have this conversation in front of everyone in the Great Hall. Do you mind getting there early, before breakfast? About 8:00?
That's perfect. Lucky for me I guess, I finished my essays before I read your post. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish at all. If you need some help rewriting yours, I can bring my note with me to the lake in the morning, if you like.
All my mum's friends call her Daisy, but I'm afraid that I can't imagine there are any other Browns with the same names and the same number of children.
Maybe there was a mistake and they accidentally put my parents' names, when they really meant some other Browns? My father has loads of poor distant relations.
Everything will be all right, you'll see. Even if you don't go to live with the Weasleys. I'm sure the Browns will be kind to you, and anyway it's only for holidays that you go there and you don't HAVE to go there for Christmas and Easter hols if you'd rather stay at the school and they say it's alright.
What is WRONG with them? The Fostering office I mean. I KNOW your parents asked to take her Ron so why would they make her go live with the Browns? Just to be cruel? UGH.
That must have been why Ginny Weasley was crying in the common room. She was so upset she didn't care if anyone saw her, although Percy's been talking to her, trying to calm her down.
That'd almost be funny if it weren't so awful. You're usually the one explaining stuff like this to me!
It's because they don't think we're good enough purebloods. Because we don't think and act like the Patils and the Browns and make out that the Malfoys and the Protector and the Ministry and the Death Eaters were sent by Merlin to make to this country perfect.
Of course, they could have sent her to live with us to spy on us, like you said they did when they sent you to live with the Woods. But they've probably read stuff Luna's written and know they'd never be able to make heads or tails of anything she'd tell them.
No, if they want a halfblood spying on you lot they'll take your parents' application to foster Luna and they'll say 'oh good, we're so glad you want a foster child! Have Megan Jones or someone just like her!'
Well, perhaps you would be permitted to visit our family occasionally if the Browns give their permission. But they will be the ones to make decisions concerning you.
I'm disappointed, of course--I know how fond you and Ginny are of each other. But, well, perhaps they felt that things were a bit...crowded at the Burrow. I don't know about the Browns' home, but you would have to share a room with Ginny. I'm sure they were looking out for your best interests, Luna.
Actually if the Browns said it was alright you could probably visit the Weasleys for a lot of the holidays.
The Strettons let me visit Pansy at Christmas, and last summer the Woods let me go on lots of visits.
Luna if you have a little bit of time tomorrow you should would you like to come talk to me for a bit? Just you and me, we could go for a walk maybe if the weather's nice, down near the forest. I don't go IN because that's against the rules but I like walking near the edge and sometimes I see animals inside. (Mostly just things like rabbits and foxes but you never know.)
Nothing at all, I'm sure. It's just a bit puzzling because Luna knows Ginny's family real well, see? Why wouldn't they want her to be with people she's known for a long time and trusts?

Date: 2010-05-16 03:02 am (UTC)I hate to say it about a fellow Gryffindor, but yeah, I don't see being the type to Accio a cup of tea for her or anything to make her feel welcome.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good
Date: 2010-05-16 03:16 am (UTC)Luna'd be better off with the Browns cause we wouldn't make her feel welcome? That'd better not have come out the way you meant it.
