Luna Lovegood

1. Her first word was, "Why?"

Ever curious, the future Ravenclaw pondered everything when she was young. After she learned to speak, the second something happened or was said, she asked, "Why?" Most the time, Luna found, the people she asked did not have her answers, and she found that odd. Indignantly, she thought people had no right to say things if they could not explain themselves.

2. Her first sentence was, "May I please have some pudding?"

What else was there to say? Luna liked pudding. At least she was still pondering, still asking questions. When her father told her no, she may not have more pudding, she asked, "Why?"

3. She never really got over her mother's death.

Sure, she could put on a fake smile and kick some chipper excitement into her eyes, but she was wounded inside, scarred for life. Watching her mother die was the worst thing she ever experienced, but she never cried when anyone was around. She had to be strong for her father. He needed her, and she was clever enough to know it. However, not expressing her sorrow left her forever secretly unstable. Her heart was torrentially damaged.

4. She was somewhat of a Seer.

Not an official documented Seer that could see the future at a given time, but she made predictions that almost always came true. Sometimes it was just what her father would have for breakfast the next day. Other times, it was a major occurrence. She predicted that she would eventually meet the Boy Who Lived. When she became eligible for the class, she excelled in Divinations.

5. Her sorting to Ravenclaw was less than a shock.

Her parents had been Ravenclaws. Her grandparents had been Ravenclaws. Plus, she was clever, showing signs of intelligence and creativity early on. Luna was different, not like anyone else. The young blonde was the strangest creature in Ravenclaw house, and she enjoyed every second of it. (Not to mention, she predicted it.)

6. She met Ginny by accident.

Or was it fate? In any case, she bumped into the redhead when she was skipping careless from Potions class. Ginny was headed to Potions, and a collision resulted. Somehow, from that, a friendship formed. That was their second year.

7. She always believed in Santa Clause.

And why shouldn't she? With magic, anything was possible, wasn't it? Why couldn't exist? Disbelief was too rational, too non-magical, and Luna liked her world unbelievable and surprising, unpredictable and wild. At least, unpredictable to others. In short, Santa was real. He used domesticated Nargles for help sometimes.

8. She always understood her feelings.

What she began to understand her fourth year was that she had them for her friend. He was a year older than her, a member of Gryffindor house. For the first time, she was scared. What if he thought she was a freak? She knew some kids at Hogwarts did. She really wished she had been braver.

9. She never regretted not telling him.

It was hard to cover herself for a while, but she knew it had to be done. Also, she eventually found someone else. When she met Rolf Scamander, she was sure this was love. The next time after that she saw Neville, she smiled to him and felt like they were children again, young before feelings happened, so that nothing was changed. To her, it wasn't.

10. She kind of liked being pregnant.

When she and Rolf were having twins, she sort of liked the feeling of being in the motherly way. There were two little lives inside of her, growing all the while! Sure, there were mood swings, cravings, things swelled, and she probably drove Rolf crazy, but it was sort of pleasant. When Lorcan and Lysander were born, she almost missed the feeling. However, she was still a mother, which felt just as good.

A/N: Aw, she liked Neville back for a bit… Guess one of them should've spoke up. Ah well. Next is Nearly Headless Nick.
